Earlier today, The Vibes and its sister Malay news portal, Getaran, were targeted by an attack that brought their websites down for several hours. Despite this disruption, the platforms are now back online and remain committed to delivering news without censorship. The attack underscores the importance of independent journalism, as those who attempt to silence such reporting are revealing their true intentions.

They prefer a public that remains uninformed rather than empowered to think critically for themselves. The publishers of The Vibes and Getaran are resolute in their mission, stating that small-minded individuals will never dictate the future of their news platforms. Their aim is to provide Malaysian citizens with uncensored news, opinions that challenge the status quo, and honest debate that bolsters democracy.

The attack has actually reinforced their resolve, as the trust and support from their readers affirm that they are making a positive impact. They vow to bolster their security measures and continue to challenge powerful entities. This attack will not intimidate, buy, or silence them, as their primary goal is to inform the public and uphold the truth.
