Out of circulation: The Edge Weekly and The Edge Financial Daily have been suspended for three months.

KUALA LUMPUR: Suspending The Edge Weekly and The Edge Financial Daily for three months is against freedom of the press, said National Union of Journalists (NUJ) secretary Schave Jerome De Rozario.

The decision was unfair because it was the responsibility of the press to report on news, he said.
