LETTER | Malaysia plunged 18 places in the latest ranking of the World Press Freedom Index from 101 to 119 out of 180 countries surveyed, the largest drop of any country in the 2021 edition. This is unfortunate when just a year ago Malaysia made the largest improvement among all countries.

Malaysia is now placed under the “Difficult situation” category, together with countries such as Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Palestine.
