Ensure press freedom, repeal restrictive laws, Geramm reminds govt


PETALING JAYA: Media advocacy group Geramm (Gerakan Media Merdeka) has once again called on the government to fulfil its promise of press freedom by repealing all laws that stifle freedom of expression.

The group noted that the media industry experienced many challenges in 2019, such as the shuttering of Utusan Malaysia and Tamil Nesan, and the downsizing of Media Prima and New Straits Times Press.
