Malaysiakini CEO Premesh Chandran hopes that the court will take the full picture into consideration and be reasonable in their proceedings today against the online news portal which is facing contempt charges for comments made by subscribers.
Premesh also said that the case today is important in determining the responsibility of a publisher towards the comments left by their readers.
Contempt proceedings against Malaysiakini and its editor-in-chief Steven Gan were initiated by Attorney-General Idrus Harun on June 16. In his affidavit, Idrus said the accused had facilitated the publication of readers' comments, which undermined the judiciary.
