Malaysia's government passed the "Anti-Fake News Bill 2018" in April, making both creating and sharing fake news punishable by up to six years in prison. It was seen as a way for then-Prime Minister Najib Razak to quell political dissent.

Just over a month later, Malaysia has a new Prime Minister in Mahathir Mohamad. But he's not in a rush to do away with the fake-news bill, despite being the victim of it just weeks ago.
