吉隆坡, 1月17日 — 独立新闻中心（CIJ）今日强调，针对《自由今日大马》前记者陈传旭失言事件，警方应将调查重点放在其隐私遭侵犯、骚扰和恐吓上，而非其提问引发的争议。 该中心指出，记者的提问争议应交由马来西亚媒体理事会督导追责。 独立新闻中心执行董事瓦特斯拉谴责警方援引3项法令逮捕陈传旭。 “由于这起争议，陈传旭在网路上遭到骚扰、恐吓和肉搜，其个人资料被公开，”瓦特斯拉说。 “因此，我们认为此次逮捕令人高度担忧，不仅过激且充满敌意，特别是《自由今日大马》已进行内部调查，而陈传旭本人已就其行为道歉并辞职之后。” 独立新闻中心呼吁警方重新评估调查方向，以保护记者免受网络暴力。 马来西亚媒体理事会是一个旨在监督媒体行业自律的机构，但尚未正式成立。 陈传旭的失言事件涉及对某政治人物的提问，引发了公众争议和网络攻击。 警方目前未就独立新闻中心的声明作出回应。 此事件可能影响马来西亚的新闻自由和记者安全，相关组织正密切关注后续发展。

吉隆坡, 1月17日 — 巫统登嘉楼龙运区部署理主席努希山佐哈里表示，如果登州在近期内举行选举，巫统极有可能会败选，因伊斯兰党支持者的信念根深蒂固。 他在巫统全国代表大会代表登州参与辩论时指出，当前政治氛围不利于国阵，巫统缺乏系统策略重夺政权。 “登州巫统正面临著充满挑战的政治格局，巫统目前仍远未具备能力消除伊斯兰党支持者日益根深蒂固的情绪信念，”努希山说。 他提到，由伊党执政的登州政府面临越来越多问题，正确策略可为巫统带来优势。 但努希山坦言，巫统基于现有条件难以扭转局面，需更有效行动应对挑战。 登州自2018年以来由伊党执政，巫统在州选举中持续失利，反映选民结构变化。 分析认为，伊党在登州通过宗教和社会政策巩固支持，巫统需调整策略以吸引选民。 未来选举结果将影响国阵在全国的政治布局，巫统正评估策略以提升竞争力。
