Mkini Dotcom Sdn Bhd
Company Overview
Malaysiakini was founded in 1999 by Steven Gan and Premesh Chandran to provide the nation with an independent voice in a repressive media landscape dominated by corporate and political interests as well as government censorship.
By going online, Malaysiakini circumvented government control of the media and therefore had the freedom to report without fear of favour during an era when publications could be banned with just a minister’s pen stroke.
