KUALA LUMPUR: Speculative news reporting is not new in journalism, and the report by news portal Malaysiakini alleging that Bukit Aman is planning a major reshuffle within the police force top leadership is neither malicious nor defamatory, says Tan Sri Johan Jaaffar.
The National Journalism Laureate pointed out that journalists frequently produce speculative reports on various topics, including potential Cabinet reshuffles or changes in corporate leadership.
