PETALING JAYA: Staff of The Edge's two publications will continue to get their salaries during the three months suspension starting July 27, said its publisher Ho Kay Tat.
Ho said the suspension of The Edge Weekly and The Edge Financial Daily by the Home Ministry would, however, affect certain staff.
“We may not need a full team to work at certain desks. This could mean some people going on leave to clear outstanding leave.
“Further details will be released next week after a review with those involved.
"All staff will continue to receive their full pay during the suspension,” Ho said in a note addressed to the staff with The Edge Media Group chairman Datuk Tong Kooi Ong.
“We are going through a challenging time and it is important that we stay strong and committed to our beliefs and values as a media company,” he said.
The Edge has said that the suspension was due to its reporting on 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) and it would take the matter to court.
The two publications could still be accessed via digital platforms.
