Malaysiakini took the Home Minister to court, after our application for a publishing license was denied. Malaysiakini won its case at the High Court, and again when the Court of Appeal affirmed the decision. The court directed the Home Minister to reconsider our application, in the context of the constitutional right to freedom of speech.

Malaysiakini has since reapplied and as of Sept 1st, 2014, still waiting for a final decision from the Home Ministry.
