In the seminar, Kanneth Lee Tze Wui M.Comm, a representative from Tunku Abdul Rahman University, presented the material "Trust, New Media, and Govermance".

In this material Kanneth Lee Tze Wui M.Comm conveyed related to freedom in the media, this is the foundation for the functioning of democratic media. The very nature of democracy depends on the capacity of the media to ensure free access to information and stimulate public discussion. This is all the more important in Malaysia's multiracial and multicultural context. The media can bridge the cultural divide and encourage a diversity of voices.

Law and media are a challenge in democracy and are closely linked. In Malaysia, a series of media laws have significantly affected media freedom. This stems from the broader ideal of media freedom and free speech Article 10 of the Malaysian Constitution recognises freedom of opinion and expression. However, it places limitations on national security, public order and morality.

In Malaysia, a series of media laws enacted within the country's legal and regulatory framework significantly impact media freedom The Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984, Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, Sedition Act 1948, and Internal Security Act 1960 are deviations.

Article 10 of the Malaysian Constitution recognises the right to freedom of opinion and expression However, it also empowers the legislature to restrict these freedoms in the interests of national security, public order and morality.

The suppression of media and politics in past administrations and the continued violations have caused public unrest and loss of trust. In particular, the use of restrictive media laws in the past government led to political unrest and loss of public trust. The Anwar-led Unity Government must avoid this mistake by fulfilling its promise of reform and increasing transparency.

The dynamics of the Digital Age make controlling such information cumbersome and invites backlash. Anwar Governments should utilise digital platforms to drive transparency and engage a more informed and connected public.
