NST Leader: Sorry, no rules

Now it is asking the newsmakers to go DIY. Well, almost. Help will come when it is needed. Malaysian media companies, a mix of not so big and small, don’t have the muscle to get the tech titans to the table. A law like that of Australia’s News Media Bargaining Code 2021 (NMBC) would mandate the muscle. If a middle power like Australia sees the need for such a law, Malaysia must certainly be in more need of one.
