Former Malaysian Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli, speaking on his podcast “Yang Berhenti Menteri,” opposed banning the Telegram whistleblower account “Edisi Siasat.” He also defended student activists burning a caricature of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, citing free expression. Rafizi warned that the ban fuels perceptions of shrinking democratic space, noting Pakatan Harapan’s past use of similar platforms to share dissenting views. He argued the government’s tolerance appears lacking but suggested blocking 10 to 20 scam-related social media accounts could counter this narrative. Rafizi’s remarks highlight ongoing tensions over freedom of speech and government accountability in Malaysia.
Should not block Edisi Siasat, says Rafizi, since PH used all channels to campaign
