Steven Gan
Steven Gan (born c. 1963) is a Malaysian journalist known for co-founding and editing the political news website ''Malaysiakini'' (English: "Malaysia Today"), Malaysia's "first and only" independent news source.〔 In 2000, he was awarded the International Press Freedom Award of the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ). ==Work in print journalism== Gan received a degree in political economy from an Australian university in 1989. He began his journalistic career in print, as a freelancer for a Hong Kong-based newspaper. In 1991, he covered the Gulf War from Baghdad. In 1994, he returned to Malaysia, where he became a reporter for the new Malaysian daily ''The Sun''. There he struggled against both government regulation and the self-censorship of ''The Suns editors.〔 In 1995, he led a team of reporters that discovered that 59 inmates, primarily Bangladeshis, had died in the Semenyih immigration detention camp of the preventable diseases typhoid and beriberi.〔 When Gan's editors refused to publish the story for fear of government reprisal, Gan passed the information to the immigrant rights organisation Tenaganita.〔 Tenaganita publicised the reporters' findings, and its director, Irene Fernandez, was subsequently threatened with imprisonment for "publishing false news".〔 Fernandez's trials and appeals from the case would last thirteen years, ending in her 2008 acquittal by the Kuala Lumpur Criminal High Court. In 1996, Gan was arrested, along with four other reporters, at the 1996 Asia Pacific Conference on East Timor.〔 During the five days he spent in jail, he was named a prisoner of conscience by Amnesty International. After his release, he wrote a column protesting his arrest and treatment, but his editors refused to publish it. Gan resigned in protest,〔 going on to write editorials for the English-language Thai daily ''The Nation''.
