NUJ calls for suspension of The Edge to be lifted


PETALING JAYA: The Home Ministry must state clearly how The Edge Weekly and The Edge Financial Daily are deemed to be a threat to national security, said the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) Malaysia.

In a statement by its president Chin Sung Chew on Friday, NUJ said that both publications had published articles related to 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) with public interest in mind and the people have the right to know what is happening in the government investment arm.
