Censorship in Malaysia

Malaysian Communications Minister Saifuddin Abdullah retracts his announcement yesterday that video producers on social media would require a license per the 1981 National Film Development Corporation of Malaysia (FINAS) Act, following public outcry. The initial proposal was made following the government's dispute with Al Jazeera over a documentary concerning the discrimination migrant workers faced in the country during the COVID-19 pandemic.
