JBJ on the press as an institution of a democratic society
Posted by jbjmemorial on October 8, 2008
“The press is one of the institutions of a democratic society. Some people might say that it is the most important institution of a democratic society. It is, along with the other institutions, the guardian of the liberty of the people.
It must take it upon itself the responsibility to eke out any injustices, any wrong doings committed against the people or even one member of the society, and to speak out against it. “
- JBJ, in a parliamentary speech made in February 1999
