Red Pencil protest
The Red Pencil protest happened in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on January 4, 2014. It was organized by the Angry Media Movement (GERAMM)[1] and supported by media workers, activists, and others. The protest was a response to the Malaysian government's limits on media freedom and the suspension of a weekly newspaper, The Heat. Many in the media believe the government suspended The Heat because it reported on Prime Minister Najib Razak and his wife Rosmah Mansor's spending.[2][3]
