In Malaysia, this is how Opposition voices are gagged.
Jun 28:
Private television station ntv7 has denied claims made by the DAP of a directive to censor comments from the opposition parties in its news broadcasts.
"I can tell you, there is no such directive," a top network source told malaysiakini when contacted. [Malaysiakini]

"The government has noted that several private TV and radio stations have been airing speeches by opposition party leaders," wrote MCMC chairman Halim Shafie in the June 7 letter.
"Your station is requested not to broadcast such speeches in future." [Malaysiakini]

But really, is this one of the guidelines as mentioned by Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi 2 days ago?
Meanwhile, why not spend more time to clear your backlog, Mr. MCMC?
