Malaysian media is one of the most controlled in the world. The media is tightly controlled by the government and the internet is the only platform that is left relatively uncensored and has been the most effective space for the opposition party to have its voice heard. However, some parts of the contents online which are considered subversive are still blocked or banned.

The media of Malaysia including television, radio, newspapers, movies, interviews, radio stations, television news, billboards, magazines and web-based media such as bloggers are mostly either owned directly by the government or owned by component parties of the Barisan Nasional coalition government. Malaysiakini and The Malaysia Insider websites are the examples of website which reveals the reality of the situation without any coverups and alteration.

Therefore, it is important for the society to understand the biases of each media and that most of the news or information shown on the media has been altered in order to achieve the attention that the targeted audience would agree upon by appealing to their social background and political affiliation or alignment. The public should be aware of what they see and heard because it might not be true.
