Malaysiakini was born in November 1999 during the height of the Reformasi movement following Anwar Ibrahim's sudden dismissal from government.
In an interview with the news portal, the PKR de facto leader expressed his appreciation to Malaysiakini and commended it for remaining committed to independent reporting.
“At a time when we had massive restrictions, where the media was nothing but incessant propaganda, Malaysiakini was there.
“(I’m saying this) not because you have been kind to me - you have been tough against me too - but as a pillar (of democracy), that is how an independent media should function,” he said when met at his residence in Segambut late yesterday.
