Fan from r/Malaysia here - thanks for doing the AMA! For non-Malaysians, FYI R.AGE is doing some of the best journalism work in the country right now. These guys were actually nominated for a Peabody in April. We're sorely lacking in this class of undercover and investigative journalism in Malaysia - I'd encourage anyone to check out their work which is available on their Youtube channel, especially around human trafficking and refugees (example).

I had a similar question to u/jcdish - given your ownership by The Star and therefore government-affiliated institutions, how much freedom do you guys have on stories, or positions to take on stories? Is the culture of self-censorship still alive and well? Do you see much editorial pressure in terms of what you're allowed to pursue?

Also I've been wondering for a while: What actually is your revenue model?

Edit: I'd also be interested to know more about your social impact campaigns as this is the first I've heard about them. There's no separate classification for this on your website / youtube channel that I can see.

Very nice of you to reply this late at night! That's a super interesting revenue model, I'd never have guessed. And thanks for the insight on the first point as well!

What story/video of yours are each of you most proud of?
