Guest: Premesh Chandran, Deputy Chairperson, Malaysia Media Council
World Press Freedom Day lands with the release of the World Press Freedom Index by Reporters Without Borders. The 2026-edition ranks global press freedom at its lowest point in 25 years, with more than half of the 180 surveyed countries now in the "difficult" or "very serious" category. Meanwhile, Malaysia sits at 95th place, down from 88th last year. In light of this, we discuss the state of press freedom and the role of the Malaysian Media Council (MMC) in Malaysia today with Premesh Chandran, deputy chairperson of the MMC, and co-founder of Malaysiakini.
