Malaysiakini exceeds RM500k fundraising target for hefty court fine - superadmin - 02-19-2021 Malaysiakini has exceeded its RM500,000 fundraising target in under five hours. The fundraiser was to help the news portal pay for a RM500,000 fine after the Federal Court found Malaysiakini liable for contemptuous comments by its readers. Hence, the fundraising has been ended. All donations will be accounted for and Malaysiakini will be transparent. Malaysiakini is still deliberating on where to channel the excess funds. - More -
