00:00The police may have exceeded their authority in confiscating a Malaysia Kini's senior
00:06editor's laptop and demanding access to the portal's backend.
00:12This is what Taylor University's Benjamin Low told FMT after police interrogated Malaysia
00:17Kini's executive editor, RK Anand, over an article quoting Khairi Jamaluddin's comments
00:24in his Keluar Segajat podcast.
00:26Low said the move seemed to be a clear overreach of power as this case was being investigated
00:32under criminal defamation law, which he said the police are using to silence criticism
00:38instead of addressing wrongdoing.
00:40He questioned the need for authorities to confiscate the editor's laptop if Malaysia
00:45Kini might only be at fault for republishing defamatory content rather than creating it.
00:52Meanwhile, Gerakan Media Merdeka condemned the authorities for their unacceptable actions.
01:00In his podcast, Khairi alleged that the royal addendum related to former Prime Minister
01:05Najib Razak caused a trust crisis within UMNO.
01:10He also implied that Law and Institutional Reform Minister Azalina Othman Syed was involved
01:16in concealing the addendum.
