Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia is suing political artist and activist Fahmi Reza for his recent satirical artwork that has allegedly insulted the institution. Fahmi himself has stood firm on his stance that satire is a form of expression that he has a right to exercise. We speak to Thulsi Manogaran of the Civil Society Coalition on the position of satire when it comes to freedom of speech. Then, lawyer Khaizan Sharizad Razak tells us about the legalities in pursuing action against satire. Finally, we hear from Ernest Ng, comic book writer of CovidBallz, on why satire is important.
