Teresa Kok: Criticism of anti-palm oil play not meant to stifle freedom of expression

PETALING JAYA: Teresa Kok says her criticism of an international school for putting up a play on oil palm plantations was not an attempt to stifle freedom of expression.

Responding to the backlash over her remarks, the Primary Industries Minister said she was expressing disappointment and regret over the lack of understanding of the Malaysian palm oil industry, particularly its on-going conservation and sustainability efforts.
