The think tank Initiative to Promote Tolerance and Prevent Violence (Initiate.my) has recently launched a new open-source database that documents the publications and materials banned by the Ministry of Home Affairs under the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984.
How has the PPPA been used over the years, and what does it reveal about Malaysia’s changing political and social landscape? Astro Awani’s Melisa Idris talks to Aizat Shamsuddin, the founder and executive director of Initiate.my, and Larissa Ann Louis, the co-chairperson of the Bar Council’s committee on constitutional law and human rights.
