Umno MP wants to raise issue of journalist arrests in Parliament


KOTA KINABALU: Umno's Kalabakan MP Datuk Abdul Ghapur Salleh intends to raise the issue of arrests of journalists in Parliament, which he described as being "shameful" to the country.

"To me, the use of the Sedition Act in this instance is overkill," Ghapur said, adding that journalists should be allowed to carry out their duties freely and without fear.
