Zunar, Political Cartoonist
*Voicing Freedom: Zunar's Stand Against Repressive Laws and Actions*
Zunar was on his way to a cartoon drawing workshop at La Promenade Mall in Kuching, Sarawak, when he was detained by Sarawak immigration at the entrance gate of Kuching Airport on December 8, 2023. He shared with RFS that he was not informed why he was detained or why his name was on the blacklist for entry into Sarawak. Despite his willingness to address any shortcomings if informed, he was not given any reason for the detention. After three hours, he was eventually allowed to enter with a three-day authorization pass. Zunar expressed hope for a government administration, including GPS, that avoids imposing restrictions without clear reasons.
Zunar expressed satisfaction with Anwar Ibrahim's PMX administration, praising Anwar's efforts to restore the country's economy and maintain a clean, corruption-free, and stable political environment. Within a year, Malaysia saw an influx of foreign direct investments under Anwar's leadership.
However, when questioned about the administration's failure to repeal the Sedition Act of 1984 and specific incidents such as the imprisonment of an individual waving the Israeli flag and the charges against a Cambodian citizen for making critical remarks about lazy Malays, Zunar voiced dissatisfaction. He disagreed with the imprisonment of Cambodian citizens for criticizing lazy Malays, emphasizing the right to express disagreement. Similarly, he opposed the imprisonment of individuals waving the Israeli flag, asserting the importance of freedom of expression. Zunar also disagreed with the retention of the Sedition Act, citing its weaknesses and potential for manipulation. He suggested that if a specific act is needed to protect the king from insults, the government should enact a dedicated law rather than maintaining the Sedition Act. While acknowledging that these incidents may not be directly under PMX Anwar Ibrahim's direction, Zunar argued that, as prime minister, Anwar should take responsibility.
