Repeal PPPA, so that anyone can set up a newspaper, says CIJ

PETALING JAYA: Centre for Independent Journalism (CIJ) director Sonia Randhawa (pic) has called for the repeal of the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984 (PPPA), so that a licence is not required to set up a newspaper.

"What CIJ has advocated for many years is for the repeal of the PPPA, and we still think that it should be a priority for the government.
