As Malaysia's former PM Najib Razak stands trial for kleptocracy, the media he tried to silence are out in force.
Last week, Malaysia's former prime minister, Najib Razak, went on trial in one of the biggest corruption scandals the world has seen. The case involves the state development fund: 1Malaysia Development Berhad - known in the media as 1MDB. It lost billions of dollars - almost $700m of which is alleged to have ended up in Najib's own bank account.
The Malaysian media are all over the story, but it was not always that way. The trial could not have happened without the collaborative work of journalists both inside and outside the country.
