Unusually poor sourcing - mainly from the subject publication[edit]

This article, about the publication Free Malaysia Today, appears to have been sourced entirely from that very publication. Except for the small "Controversy" section, and a single reference to a website-rating site, ALL other references cited come from the very publication that the article is about!

This is wholly inappropriate and inadequate for Wikipedia, blatantly violating WP:NPOV, and raises strong questions about the validity and credibility of this article, and the independence and neutrality of its author. Please find additional, substantial, credible, English-language sources for this article. Otherwise, it is a reasonable candidate for deletion -- notwithstanding the substantial online presence of Free Malaysia Today.

Article overhauled & expanded - still needs better references[edit]

I've attempted to greatly improve the sourcing of the information on this site, but have found it difficult to locate independent online sources that address the content already here. So I have largely added new content, with references that I was able to find.

Nevertheless, this site remains far too dependent upon references to the subject itself: Free Malaysia Today. This needs improvement.
