KUALA LUMPUR, July 15 — Twelve founding members were appointed today to spearhead the newly established Malaysian Media Council (MMC), marking another step in the self-regulation of the country’s media industry.
The appointments follow the enforcement of the Malaysian Media Council Act 2025 on June 14, which paved the way for the establishment.
“The formation of this council reflects the government’s commitment under the Malaysia Madani agenda to uphold press freedom, while ensuring access to accurate, ethical, and fair information for all Malaysians,” the Communications Ministry said in a statement.
