[edit] Summary

A picture of Hishamuddin Hussein defending Ketuanan Melayu by waving the keris. In the background applauding is Prime Minister of Malaysia Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's son-in-law, Khairy Jamaluddin. This photograph was widely published in the Malay press, including the Berita Harian and Utusan Malaysia newspapers. It was also blogged about by Jeff Ooi (among many others), where this digital version was taken from, although where Ooi sourced the image from is unknown; the original document it appeared in has been lost. (The image has appeared in Malaysiakini as well; see here, with the image file here. As Malaysiakini does not provide any photo credit, presumably they own the rights to this image.) I believe this qualifies as a fair use photograph where the issue of "Malay rights" is dealt with.

[edit] Licensing

on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.
