PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Media Council (MMC) has raised concern over reports that unaccredited individuals disrupted media coverage during a recent inquest into the Zara Qairina Mahathir case, stressing that journalists must be able to work safely and without harassment.
The MMC said that according to the Sabah Journalists Association (SJA), the individuals entered the media zone, stood uncomfortably close to female reporters, disrupted coverage and later profited from unofficial livestreams.
