Zunar Should Be As Critical Of Pakatan If He Sticks To Principles Says Cartoonist Group



PETALING JAYA: Political cartoonist Zunar should be as critical of the new government as he was with the previous Barisan Nasional administration, says Cartoonists Rights Network International executive director Robert Russel
In an interview with CNN, Russel said Zunar, who real name is Zulkiflee Anwar Haque, successfully created influential cartoons as they undercut the previous governments' efforts to present itself as a clean and legitimate administration
However, he now faces a situation similar to that of other dissident cartoonists when their former oppressors leave office
"Even with Zunar's heroes ... now in a new government, he's going to start drawing the same cartoons about them," Russell told CNN
"This is not necessarily a happy ending. If Zunar is true to his roots, he will be as ruthless with the new government, as any (other) government," he said
CNN's report highlighted how Zunar and Fahmi Reza were pivotal in Barisan losing federal power in the 14th General Election
Both cartoonists faced tussles with the law, including charges under the Sedition Act and Communications and Multimedia Act, over satirising former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor
"The medium of cartooning is (a) very powerful medium," Zunar told CNN
"Everywhere, in any country you go, (cartoonists) get killed. Cartoonists get arrested, put in jail everywhere because of the medium," he said
Fahmi said the use of satire and humour were effective because it "breaks the fear barrier"
"People have always been afraid to speak out. The culture of fear is always there; the culture of self-censorship is always there. That's where satire and humour can be the most effective tool; it makes people less afraid," he told CNN
Since Pakatan Harapan assumed federal power, charges against the two men have been dropped, and they said they feel considerably freer under the new government
However, they noted that Pakatan has yet to deliver true reform
"(The government is) more tolerant toward online dissent and criticism – and even insults," Fahmi said
Zunar said Pakatan's faced an important task of repairing the damage done by Barisan
He said is willing to give them time to deliver, but as for the future, "we don't know yet."- Star
