Prime Minister Najib Razak's government has come under fire for trying to shield him against a scandal that is threateng to rock the international media and plunge the country into further shame.
Nik Nazmi, a fast-rising author and a lawmaker in the Malaysian opposition coalition, warned that UK communications regulator, Ofcom, was already launching its own investigation into claims of bias and bribery at FBC Media. The FBC is a small UK firm employed by Najib and Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud to produce positive propaganda about themselves in a bid to deceive global audiences into a false perception about their leadership.
