Understanding The Threat of Domestic Terror

A deadly attack on a police station in Johor, followed by a breach of the Istana Negara, an attempt to steal arms at a Penang police station and a death threat towards Seputeh MP Teresa Kok has unsettled the nation. In the absence of information, the masses and the media quickly fall for assumptions. Tonight, we first dive into the undercurrents of violence and terrorism in Malaysia with Munira Mustaffa. Then, we speak to Benjamin Loh on the role of the media in reporting violence.
