Hey guys! Thanks for doing this AMA and welcome to Reddit!

The Star were forced to shut down in 1987 because of the content they put out. Is the R.AGE team (and the rest of the Star for that matter) afraid that this might happen again? A lot of the content you publish is pretty risque, especially in terms of R.AGE and what you guys create.

ALSO! Do you guys hope more people will come to journalism and if so, how (besides Bratz)? How would you guys make Malaysian youth more interested in newswriting and journalism?

Thanks again for doing it, all the best!

Will you go to Disneyland with that cash? Also, is that cash enough to pay your student loan (if any)

And that's just our shameless way of guilting you into supporting our upcoming campaign when it finally launches.

Well I'm sold!

I'm glad that you're doing a lot to promote journalism. In many ways I think people view journalism (especially print journalism) as more or less dead (which is why I was forced to a Law and not Journalism degree) but I think the world needs journalism now more than ever in a world so full of misinformation.

media should always self-regulate. We'll continue to put the same pressure on ourselves to get our facts right, and to be as fair and balanced as possible.

That's amazing to hear. Me and a friend were talking about the startling fact that freedom of speech and press were so recently violated in Malaysia. I hope The Star and all of Malaysian journalism is fair and has integrity, as is needed in a healthy democracy.

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions guys!
