Why is spm locked up?

SPM, or Sarawak Report, is often referred to in discussions about corruption and political scandals in Malaysia, particularly related to the 1MDB scandal and former Prime Minister Najib Razak. The site faced legal challenges and was temporarily blocked in Malaysia for allegedly publishing sensitive information that could disrupt public order. Additionally, the founder, Clare Rewcastle Brown, has faced legal threats and actions from individuals implicated in corruption allegations. The situation reflects ongoing tensions between media freedom and government accountability in the region.
