KUALA LUMPUR: The RM100,000 compound issued each on Sin Chew Media Corporation Bhd and Sinar Karangkraf Sdn Bhd over a flag slip-up and inaccurate information were viewed as excessive and may deter newsrooms from experimenting and innovating with new technologies.
A statement issued by Malaysian Media Council (MMM) founding board said it views with serious concern the compound imposed by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) on the two media agencies on Friday (Sept 19).
