The recent RM100,000 fine imposed on Sin Chew Media Corporation Berhad and Sinar Karangkraf Sdn Bhd by the MCMC is not excessive but rather to reinforce media responsibility, a PKR leader said today.
Batu PKR division chief and lawyer, Asheeq Ali Sethi Alivi, said that while it is understandable to be concerned about anything that might appear to threaten media freedom, it is crucial to examine this matter from a professional perspective, focusing on journalistic ethics and accountability.
