Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil said he just returned from overseas and was not clear on what happened between MCMC and MalaysiaNow and will be have a briefing by MCMC to understand what transpired.
Fahmi added that while he respects the views of journalists and that freedom of the press is very important to the government, there is also a need for the media to be factually correct in their reporting, as there have been public complaints “with regard to some reporting”.
This comes after a group of media veteran professionals took umbrage with MCMC demanding online news portal MalaysiaNow amend or withdraw its article on a commotion that broke out in the Dewan Rakyat last Tuesday.
