PUTRAJAYA, The World Press Freedom Index 2024 report published by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) recently is based on feedback from respondents who have filled out a number of documents or surveys, said Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil. He said that this was informed directly by the international non-governmental organisation (NGO) to him in a meeting held online last Monday to discuss the findings of the report. "They explained that the media freedom index they reported is actually based on feedback from respondents who have filled out a number of documents or surveys and not necessarily based on their own efforts in the field," he said at the post-Cabinet meeting press conference here today. Fahmi, who is also the Unity Government's spokesman, said that during the meeting, RSF also expressed their willingness to collaborate with the Malaysian government in efforts to improve aspects of media freedom in the country. The World Press Freedom Index 2024 report published by RSF recently showed Malaysia 's position in the index dropping 34 places to 107th compared to 73rd last year, with a score of 52.07 points.
