PUTRAJAYA: The Communications and Digital Ministry plans to draft a Bill related to the return of advertising expenditure for the survival of media organisations in this country, said its minister Fahmi Fadzil.

Speaking at the ministry's monthly assembly, Fahmi said the drafting of the Bill was important because he did not want to see more media practitioners lose their jobs or undertake a voluntary separation scheme (VSS).
