The National Operations Council of Malaysia, photographed at Parliament House, 1970. Picture scanned from Lim Cheng Leng's The Story of a Psy-warrior: Tan Sri Dr. C. C. Too. No copyright credit was given, but presumably this photograph, given its official nature, is copyrighted by the Malaysian government.

It is asserted that the usage of this image constitutes fair use under American copyright law when used in the context of discussing the NOC and/or the role(s) its individual members played in it, because the image significantly and educationally contributes to the reader's understanding of the NOC and its members. The usage of the image does not detrimentally affect the government's chances of profiting from its usage, because it is of too poor quality; likewise, the sales of Lim's book are highly unlikely to be negatively impacted, since presumably nobody would buy the book just for this photograph. This image is irreplaceable, because most of the people in it are dead.

This image is a faithful digitisation of a unique historic image, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the person who created the image or the agency employing the person. It is believed that the use of this image may qualify as non-free use under the Copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. Please remember that the non-free content criteria require that non-free images on Wikipedia must not "[be] used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media." Use of historic images from press agencies must only be of a transformative nature, when the image itself is the subject of commentary rather than the event it depicts (which is the original market role, and is not allowed per policy).
