Why is @justice_sisters participating in a forum with a credibly accused perpetrator? Full disclosure: I told Thilaga about the situation with Surendra Ananth last year. They say they have always maintained that there needed to be some sort of investigation, and that their actions centred around me getting access to justice. Not sure how this applies.

Happy World Press Freedom Day!

I have been summoned to Bukit Aman this Wednesday for questioning over my reporting of the immigration raid on the downtown KL red zone on #MayDay. According to PDRM, I am being investigated under Sek 504 of the Penal Code and Sek 233 of the Communications & Multimedia Act.

Many of you heard the news super quick (can jadi reporter yourselves wei) and sent messages of support. I want to say thank you so much <3

Just got back from the Selangor Mansion area. What the actual fuck is going on? Civil Defence, Immigration, cops all out in force. Reporters not allowed to get too close. Sources on the ground saying hundreds picked up, including minors and refugees. Immigration authorities have asked press to wait for official statement.

I'm really keen to know why these white journalists who've parachuted into Asia for the lulz think they know more about Brunei than me. I mean, I only grew up there/still have family + friends there/speak the language. Are these laws against human rights? Yes. Without a doubt. But that doesn't give anyone the right to speak for or over Bruneians who may or may not be comfortable with what they believe are symbolic laws. You can disagree, surely. But don't drown out brown voices on the ground.
