We regret to inform the public that our Coverage Media Facebook page has been restricted by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) effective 3 June 2026.
Those outside Malaysia or using a VPN will still be able to access the page.
For more than 10 years, Coverage Media has been actively reporting on national issues and has been highly critical of leaders and governments from previous administrations. Despite this, we were never blocked — not even once. This is the first time in our 10-year history that our page has been restricted, and it is happening under the Madani government, which proudly proclaims itself as the defender of freedom of expression.
Just one week before shutting down our Facebook page, certain parties circulated fake news about Coverage Media. Among the false claims:
- They alleged that this portal belongs to MCA.
- They attempted to carry out character assassination against Shen Yee Aun, claiming he is linked to MCA.
- Just because of a few articles critical towards PKR and DAP, they falsely alleged that Coverage Media is trying to ask people to support BN or PN.
For the record:
- Coverage Media has no connection whatsoever with MCA.
- Shen Yee Aun was never a member of MCA.
- He only served under Tan Sri Chua Soi Lek during his tenure as MCA President from 2012 to 2014.
- Since Tan Sri Chua Soi Lek’s retirement, both have not been actively involved in politics for the past 12 years.
- They even tried to drag in Tan Sri Vincent Lee, who has absolutely nothing to do with Coverage Media.
- Shen Yee Aun and Tan Sri Vincent Lee have not been in contact since 2018.
- The company associated with them has been dormant since 2020 and has conducted no sales, monetization, or any commercial activities since 2018.
- Coverage Media was only founded in 2016 — two years after both Shen Yee Aun and Tan Sri Chua Soi Lek had already stopped serving in MCA.
- Linking Coverage Media to MCA is a complete insult to our independent voice and hard work.
- Under its current leadership, MCA is clearly incapable of owning or managing any media platform that can generate such strong public buzz, influence, and monthly hits of 16–20 million page views. This old dinosaur political party is already past its time and heading toward extinction.
- If you scroll through the entire The Coverage Media Facebook postings, you’ll notice far more criticism directed at BN and especially PN than at DAP or PKR.
- Yet, ironically, it’s DAP and PKR who seem unable to tolerate any criticism toward themselves. That intolerance is exactly why media ranking has dropped so badly under their administration.
- As for Shen Yee Aun, he is currently busy building his new YouTube live streaming platform called Cakap Hub since 2024.
- The Coverage Media no longer supports BN, PH, or PN. These are all old political entities. It is time for a new force in Malaysia. We only want to be the voice of the progressive.
Regarding DAP’s Wong Shu Qi:
- Her old article attacking both Shen Yee Aun and Coverage Media is nothing more than another hit piece aimed at covering up their own flaws and shortcomings.
- This is the same DAP leader who previously opposed political appointments in GLCs, but is now happily accepting the position of TalentCorp Chairman.
- According to DAP’s Rayer, the salary for such a political appointment ranges between RM 90,000 and RM 120,000 per month, excluding her MP salary and allowances.
We suspect this block was triggered because certain DAP leaders are highly sensitive to criticism. Our last few articles before the block discussed issues involving Marina Ibrahim and questionable political appointments in GLCs. We also highlighted unfair policy changes under the Madani administration, including:
- The increase in the Bumiputera quota for minimum land sales from 30% (during BN and PN eras) to 50% (madani).
- The new ban on non-Muslim religious worship in commercial areas in Selangor — something that had never occurred before.
We also exposed the misleading claims regarding UEC recognition, which in reality only permits entry into four specific Chinese-related courses and faculties.
As of now, our website remains accessible. However, we believe it is only a matter of time before access to the website is also restricted.
The authorities appear deeply concerned about the influence of our Facebook page, which genuinely speaks for the people. We consistently achieve a minimum of 16 million page views per month and are on track to surpass 20 million. Almost every post receives thousands of likes, shares, and comments.
They may try to silence our voice and shut down our platforms, but they can never silence your votes.
Special Thanks
We would like to express our sincere appreciation to China Press , Siti Kassim, Iswardy Morni, Faizal Rahman, Eric Lim Sian See and the Rakyat Bijak page for bravely speaking out against this draconian move to suppress media freedom. Their strong support highlights the sad reality that media freedom in Malaysia has deteriorated badly under the Madani government.
To all our loyal followers: Please read and click on our articles while you still can. Sooner or later, they will likely shut down this website too.
However, we are not bothered by this. The company has been dormant since 2018. All postings since then have been done purely for the fun of it and have no commercial impact on us. Meanwhile, Shen Yee Aun continues to slowly build his new personal platform at Cakap Hub.
Since our Facebook page has been blocked, we will resume active posting on our main website The Coverage Malaysia Facebook. You can follow us there for the latest updates. However, be mentally prepared that they may shut this website down too in the near future.
Final Note
For those media entities , platforms or individuals who appreciate Shen Yee Aun’s ideas, writings, research, and narratives, you may contact him via the The Coverage Malaysia Facebook inbox (before they ban it too).
Any individual or entity that wishes to publish, upload, or share Shen Yee Aun’s writings on their platform may also contact The Coverage Malaysia Facebook , as long as the content aligns with progressive voices, issues, and politics. Additionally, anyone that requires Shen Yee Aun’s writings and content for their respective platform is also encouraged to get in touch.
They can shut down any pages or platforms, but they can never shut down the voice of the progressive.
