00:00Past youth has called for stern action against Sin Chu Daily, which erroneously published an illustration of the Jalu Gemilang without the crescent moon on the front page of its newspaper, yesterday.
00:13Past youth chief Afnan Hamini Taib Azamuddin said the technical mistake was an affront to the nation's sovereignty and reflected a lack of patriotism.
00:22Afnan said the crescent moon was an important symbol as it represented Islam as the religion of the Federation as enshrined in the federal constitution.
00:31In a Facebook post, he said the apology issued by Sin Chu yesterday must not give it a free pass for such subversive actions.
00:39He also said this incident raises major questions regarding the loyalty of the Sin Chu editorial team to the country and reflects weak journalistic principles.
00:49He warned that the failure to take strong action against Sin Chu would open the door to more subversive actions, particularly against Islam.
00:58The Alustar MP urged Communications Minister Fahmi Fazil to take action against the parties involved, citing the RM250,000 compound issued to radio station ERA-FM over a controversial video mocking the Hindu religion.
