Personal attack on FMT journalist akin to attempting to silence the media


IT IS regrettable that two PAS leaders - PAS vice-president Idris Ahmad, a Senator who is a full Cabinet minister, and Deputy Human Resources Minister Datuk Awang Hashim - had deflected the questions and gotten personal by verbally assaulting news portal Free Malaysia Today (FMT) reporter Minderjeet Kaur after she posed questions on the Kedah state government’s decision to ban licensed gaming outlets in the northern state.

The verbal rebuke against Minderjeet is an assault against the media, the aspiration of delivering information with transparency, and against all media personnel.
