Malaysian opposition portal fined over readers’ comments 1 minute read Bangkok Desk, Feb 19 (efe-epa).- A Malaysian news portal was ordered to pay more than $123,000 after being found guilty of contempt of court Friday, in a case widely believed to be a barometer for the country’s media freedom. Malaysiakini was ordered to pay 500,000 ringgit ($123,685) after a panel of judges in the Federal Court ruled six-to-one that it was guilty of the charge over five comments readers posted on its website that criticized the justice system. The decision cannot be appealed. “The decision flies in the face of the fast-changing new media landscape in this country,” said the outlet’s Editor-in-Chief Steven Gan, who was cleared of wrongdoing. “It will have a tremendous chilling impact on discussions of issues of public interest and it delivers a body blow to our continual campaign to fight corruption, among others.”
