The Straits Times|March 15, 2025
A Malaysian journalist was charged in court with receiving a bribe in return for backing off on an investigation into an alleged migrant worker trafficking syndicate.

B. Nantha Kumar, a reporter with local online news outlet Malaysiakini, was charged at the Sessions Court in Selangor state with receiving RM20,000 (S$6,000) in exchange for retracting and not uploading articles about a cartel involving foreign workers.

Kumar pleaded not guilty. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison and a fine of at least RM100,000, five times the value of the alleged bribe.
