1 | Malaysia: Where is Press Freedom Heading Now? | Malezia: Aiza ny Fahalalahan'ny asa fanaovan-gazety amin'izao fotoana izao? |
2 | Which country is the odd one out? | Iza no firenena sisa tsy ao anatin'izany ? |
3 | Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Malaysia. | Tanzania, Oganda, Zambia sy Malezia. |
4 | Okay, let's say I am an obnoxious author who wants to insult your general country knowledge and you try to impress me with what you know. | Eny ary, andao atao hoe mpanoratra ratsy toetra aho ka te hanaratsy ny fahalalana ankapoben'ny firenanao fotsiny ary miezaka ny mandresy lahatra ahy ianao amin'izay zavatra fantatrao. |
5 | So Malaysia is economically more prosperous in South East Asia region, has better developed infrastructure, with substantially lower poverty rate, hmm… you may even say more democratic. | Ka hoe miroborobo ara-toekarena kokoa any amin'ny faritr'i Azia Atsimo Atsinana i Malezia, manana foto-drafitr'asa mandroso izy, miaraka amin'ny tahan'ny fahantrana ambany tena ambany , hmm… mety hiteny koa aza ianao hoe demokratika kokoa izy. |
6 | But odd one out indeed, Malaysia is also languished way below Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia in press freedom ranking. | Nefa ny hafa indrindra amin'izany, mbola eo amin'ny toerana ambany kokoa noho i Tanzania, Oganda sy Zambia i Malezia raha eo amin'ny laharan'ny fahalalahan'ny asa fanaovan-gazety . |
7 | As recent development of press freedom in Malaysia unfolds, there are 3 key outcomes that can be observed: | Araka ny azavain'ny famelabelarana mikasika ny fahalalahana eo amin'ny asa fanaovan-gazety any Malezia vao haingana, misy telo ireo vahaolana azo dinihina : |
8 | 1) Opposition parties will continue to fight the hardest through online media, after being granted limited access to print and electronic media | 1) Hanohy hiady ny sarotra indrindra amin'ny alalan'ny haino aman-jery amin'ny aterineto ireo antoko mpanohitra, taorian'ny nahazoan'izy ireo ny fahafahana voafetra hanao vaovao vita pirinty sy an-tserasera |
9 | 2) Despite claims or evidence of supporting free media, government continues to hold the leverage in controlling media with information and printing acts. | 2) Na dia teo aza ireo fangatahana na ireo zava-misy mikasika ny fanohanana ny fahafahan'ny haino aman-jery, manohy mitazona ny teny farany ihany ny governemanta mikasika ny fanaraha-maso ny haino aman-jery, momba ireo vaovao sy ireo famoahana an-gazety . |
10 | 3) Information censorship is ineffective as long as Internet remains uncensored. | 3) Tsy ho tanteraka mihitsy ny fanivanam-baovao raha mbola tsy voasakana ny Aterineto. |
11 | Rising number of Internet users and independent online contents will shape major opinions and put government under pressure. | Handranitra ireo hevitry ny maro ireo mpampiasa Aterineto izay mitombo isa sy ireo mahaleo tena amin'ny aterineto ary hanindry ny governemanta . |
12 | When latest press freedom index was released earlier this year, opposition politicians were quick to react through their own online party information portals and personal blogs. | Raha navoaka aloha tamin'ity taona ity ny famantarana farany ny fahalalahan'ny asa fanaovan-gazety, mailaka ery ireo mpanao politika mpanohitra nanao hetsika tamin'ny alalan'ireo vavahadin-tseraseran'ireo antoko amin'ny aterineto sy ireo bilaoginy manokana. |
13 | Their online criticism intensified when government delayed decision in renewing opposition newsletters, and the banning of satirical political cartoons offered another opportunistic moment to fuel discontent and speculation through online media. | Nihamafy ny kian'izy ireo tamin'ny aterineto raha vao taraiky ny governemanta amin'ny fanapahan-keviny mikasika ny hanavaozana indray ny lisitry ny mpanohitra , ary niteraka fotoana feno hatezerana sy fanaratsiana tamin'ny alalan'ny haino aman-jery amin'ny aterineto ny fanafoanana ireo sary miaina fandranitana ara-politika. |
14 | A citizen, Lai responded: | Mamaly toy izao i Lai, mponina : |
15 | The reason that government gave, believe it or not, was that ‘the contents can influence the people to revolt against the leaders and government policies'… Cartoons can cause the people to revolt? | ‘Afaka mandresy lahatra ny vahoaka hanohitra ireo mpitondra sy ireo politikan'ny governemanta' no antony nolazain' ny governemanta, na hino ianao na tsy hino… Mety hahatonga ny vahoaka hanohitra ve ireo sary miaina? |
16 | Wow! Newly found weapon eh? | Hay! fitaovam-piadiana vaovao vao hita e ? |
17 | Interestingly, apart from online media strategy to criticize censorship, one opposition-led state actually took the unprecedented move to table the Freedom of Information bill to disclose information of public interests to every individual. | Ny mahaliana, ankoatra ny tetik'ady ara-tserasera hanakianana ny sivana, dia nandray fanapahan-kevitra mbola tsy nisy nanao hametraka ny Fahalalahana hahazo sy hampiely vaovao ny mpitarika ny mpanohitra iray, volavolan-dalàna hanokafana ny vaovao natokana ho an'ny seha-pitantanana ho hitan'ny rehetra. |
18 | Anil said while chiding a state government representative who rejected the bill: | Hoy i Anil raha tsy faly amin'ny solontenan'ny governemanta nandà ny volavolan-dalàna izy : |
19 | Today is something of a historic day for the country in our quest for a more accountable society… | Andro manan-tantara ho an'ny firenena ny andro androany mikasika ny fikarohantsika ny fiaraha-monina tompon' andraikitra kokoa … |
20 | As independent news portals and citizen media contents proliferate in the country, Gopal Krishnan predicted: | Koa satria moa miparitaka izaitsizy ny vavahadin-tserasera mahaleo tena sy ny fampitan'olo-tsotra vaovao, mamisavisa toy izao i Gopal Krishnan : |
21 | Despite these heavy-handed responses to alternative voices, the government must surely appreciate the futility (not to mention the political consequences) of continuing to restrict the space for independent journalism and commentary to exist. | Na dia eo aza ny herivaikan'ny feo mampifandanja lentam-pahefana, azo antoka fa tian'ny governemanta kokoa ny miezaka manakely hatrany ny toerana omena ny fanaovan-gazety mahaleo tena sy ny hevitra miposaka. |
22 | As of 2009, it is estimated that over 65 percent of Malaysian homes were connected to the Internet. | Toy ny tamin'ny taona 2009, heverina ho 65 isan-jato mahery amin'ny tokantrano Maleziana no manana aterineto. |
23 | Beyond this, not only have we witnessed the mushrooming of various online news outlets and sources competing for our screen time, there has also been an explosion of online citizen journalism and social media, which has - among other things - truly created a new political reality in the country. | Mihoatra izay, tsy hoe nahita maso ny firoborobon'ny famoaham-baovao samihafa amin'ny aterineto fotsiny sy ireo loharanom-baovao mifaninana amin'ny fotoana fampitana amin'ny fahitalavitra ataonay izahay, fa nahita firoboroboan'ny fampitam-baovaon'olo-tsotra ihany koa, izay - ankoatra ny zavatra hafa - dia tena niteraka tontolo politika velona teto amin'ny firenena. |
24 | Well ultimately, press freedom is not something that the government or opposition parties whimsically decide, but it is about citizens who demand the truth and reporters who want to report the truth. | Farany , tsy zavatra izay tapahan'ny governemanta na ireo antoko mpanohitra amin'ny tsy misy antony akory ny fahalalahana amin'ny asa fanaovan-gazety, fa mikasika ny mponina izay mangataka ny marina sy ny mpanao gazety izay te hitatitra ny marina ihany koa . |
25 | Like Attan said: | Araka ny nolazain' i Athan: |
26 | Like I said, no matter what, we journalists lose - Najib's government suspends newspapers, Guan Eng (DAP party leader) bans them, and Anwar sues us. | Araka ny nolazaiko, tsy mampaninona, tsy nahomby isika mpanao gazety - nahanton'ny governemanta Najib ny gazety , noraràn'i Guan Eng (DAP antoko mpitondra ) izy ireo , ary enjehin'i Anwar isika . |
