MELAKA: The RM100,000 compound notices issued to Sin Chew Media Corporation Bhd and Sinar Karangkraf Sdn Bhd over a flag slip-up and inaccurate reporting are too heavy and raise concerns of double standards, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.
The MCA president said that while mistakes by the media should not be taken lightly, the Malaysian Media Council (MMC) ought to be given a greater role to guide and advise news organisations rather than seeing punitive measures being taken immediately.
