MELAKA: The RM100,000 compounds imposed on Sin Chew Media Corporation Bhd and Sinar Karangkraf Sdn Bhd over a flag slip-up and inaccurate reporting are excessive and raise concerns of double standards, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong (pic).
The MCA president said while media mistakes should not be taken lightly, the Malaysian Media Council (MMC) should be empowered to guide and advise news organisations instead of taking punitive measures immediately.
