KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Press Institute (MPI) has praised the intention of Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar to relax conditions for the publishing licence for newspapers which needs to be renewed annually.
Under the move, parties intending to publish newspapers need to apply for a licence only once and the permit issued under the Printing Presses and Publications Act need not be renewed every year as is the practice now.
