Malaysian of the Year

Teoh Beng Hock is news portal Malaysian Mirror's Malaysian of the Year.

It said, “In Teoh, perhaps, we see the underdog in many of us; full of fervent hopes to change a status quo steeped in public distrust.

Through him, we see a less rose-tinted view of a system with its imperfections, and the chance to right a wrong by continuing to ask the hard questions. He precipitated a chain of events that led to a shake-up.”

Second was the PKFZ scandal.

(Note: Malaysian Mirror appears to be more opposition-friendly, judging from their way of writing)
