PUTRAJAYA: All media practitioners have been asked to wait for the official statement from the Pardons Board regarding Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s appeal for a royal pardon, and not to produce news stories based solely on sources, said Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil.
Referring to a news portal’s report which cited a source claiming that the board had granted a full pardon to Najib, Fahmi, who is the Unity Government’s spokesman, said it is very important for media practitioners to verify the authenticity of the information received before publishing it.
