Hisham: Anti-false news panel, the result of Harakah

  • 9 years ago
It was through PAS organ Harakah that gave birth to the anti-false
news panel headed by the Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein.

In an eyebrow raising statement, Hishammuddin said that it was a
"request by Harakah themselves".

"They said that with the changing times, at least the guidelines,
conditions and the letters to be complied with, it is a fair request.
(The guidelines) must be clear and the Attorney-General is helping us with this," he said.

In the high-powered committee made up of other cabinet members
including Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Mohamed Nazri Aziz and Information Communication and Culture Minister Rais Yatim, they would be coming up with a new set of guidelines to regulate the media industry.
