Media should be protected as they work for the public good, say media groups

PETALING JAYA: The media should neither be obstructed nor harassed when they are carrying out their jobs – which is often about matters of public interest, say media groups.

This came after two journalists were harassed by security guards at the Pudu Urban Transformation Centre (UTC) as they were working on a public interest story on long queues of people applying for and renewing passports at Immigration Department counters and offices.
