PETALING JAYA: Media rights groups want the Home Ministry to explain a proposal to amend the Printing Presses and Publication Act 1984, which would include licensing requirements for online media.
In a joint statement, the National Union of Malaysian Journalists (NUJM), Centre for Independent Journalism (CIJ) and Gerakan Media Merdeka (Geramm) said these proposed amendments, if true, would both expand and tighten coverage of penalties.
