PETALING JAYA: Journalists have joined the call by Ipoh Barat MP M. Kulasegaran for the new Speaker of Parliament to review the ruling banning reporters from the lobby of Dewan Rakyat and restricting media access.
“We sincerely hope that (access) to the Parliament lower house (Dewan Rakyat) will be restored to its previous practice of allowing the media to roam the lobby freely to get interviews with MPs and ministers as advocated for press freedom under the new Pakatan Harapan Government,” said National Union of Journalists Malaysia president Mohd Taufek Razak.
