My Say: Merdeka and misinformation: Skipping a step
This article first appeared in Forum, The Edge Malaysia Weekly on September 1, 2025 - September 7, 2025Every Merdeka Day, we celebrate political freedom and national identity with flags, parades and heartfelt pledges. Yet in 2025, another independence is at stake: independence of the mind. In the age of clickbait, deepfakes, artificial intelligence (AI)-generated ads and viral conspiracies, true freedom means the ability to think critically and discern facts from fiction. And on that front, Malaysia is alarmingly under-equipped.
