Media executives accused of sedition in Malaysia

Malaysia police are expected to apply for a remand order this morning for two top media executives for publishing an allegedly seditious article on the implementation of hudud, the Islamic penal code that includes stoning and amputation. The Edge's publisher, Ho Kay Tat, and The Malaysian Insider's chief executive officer, Jahabar Sadiq were arrested on Tuesday. Three TMI editors were also arrested but released late on Tuesday after a judge rejected a remand request for them. The arrests were over an article last month that said Malaysia's monarchy had rejected a proposal to amend a federal law that could allow the use of hudud in Malaysia. Journalist groups and NGOs denounced the detentions as intimidation of the media. - LEE SEOK HWAI

Malaysia finally rolls out GST

The Malaysian government officially rolls out a Goods and Services Tax today after a nearly two-decade delay. The tax, set at 6 per cent, is aimed at making taxes fairer and more transparent, given that only an estimated 1.7 million Malaysians out of a workforce of 12 million pay income tax. But the tax regime is expected to curb consumption, raise inflation, and hurt growth, at least in the short term. It has also caused confusion among consumers and businesses, partly over long lists of GST-exempted and zero-rated items. While consumers have rushed to stock up on non-perishable goods in recent weeks, businesses are griping over the anticipated paperwork. Some small retailers, fearful of onerous tax-filing demands, have even closed for good. - LEE SEOK HWAI
