Malaysiakini

Malaysiakini (English: "Malaysia Today") is a political news website published in English, Malay, Chinese and Tamil. Since its launch on November 20, 1999, it has been widely considered to be one of the leading non-government owned paid-news agencies in Malaysia. Compete.com estimates that Malaysiakini now attracts over 10,000 unique visitors in May 2009. Alexa ranked malaysiakini.com as the 16th most popular web site in Malaysia (ahead of The Star) in 2008.

Unlike most news sources in Malaysia, Malaysiakini remains free from government regulation and thus widely considered to be the country's most pro-opposition website. Malaysiakini has gained both praise and notoriety by regularly covering subjects and viewpoints deemed taboo by the mainstream broadcast and print media; the fact that it is still allowed to operate is partly due to the Malaysian government's tolerance regarding internet censorship. The Malaysian government had pledged there would be no control and censorship of Internet content in line with efforts to create the Multimedia Super Corridor.
