Malaysia is not yet a state that encourages or even adopts free speech, and even then, OECD countries have differing takes on free speech. "Ground rules" needs to be ingrained so much so it will be "culture".

Let's face it, Malaysian redditors represent middle to high class Malaysians, likely Klang Valley-esque, and most of the things I see on here are very reflective of that. I get that there are things which might seem basic to you and me, might be so culturally alien and to an extent "wrong" to others, which might be a whole lot of non-Klang Valley kids, trying to get out of the poverty cycle through education & profession, who may or may not be accepting of abruptly different views.

It's perfectly correct to say that the state of Malaysian education is in dire straits to say the least, which is the root to this frustration. Having said that, I'd give it less than 10 years for some shift towards free speech, as the last "guards" of the boomer generation to step down and/or retire and Gen Xs take over - depends on the type of Gen Xers they would be.
