MDLF and the MalaysiaKini Story

By: Ross Settles | 09/22/2010

The last few weeks have been a bit slow in Malaysia as the country celebrates the end of Ramadan and the festive season of Hari Raya. During the slow time, I have written a few things for other blogs on the work and situation at MalaysiaKini, as they get posted I will cross post them.

Note: Media Loan Development Fund is a co-sponsor of my fellowship at MalaysiaKini.
