KUALA LUMPUR: The allegation by DAP political education director Liew Chin Tong that local Chinese newspapers distorted the Jawi calligraphy issue in 2019 is irresponsible, says The Editors' Association (Chinese Medium) Malaysia.

“The Association urges Liew not to irresponsibly put all the blame on Chinese newspapers just because of his own incapability and refusal to assume responsibility for the local Chinese community, ” it said.
