PM to contact police to assure no media restrictions at their events

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim responds to reports of local outlet barred from covering dialogue programme despite receiving invitation

PUTRAJAYA – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar has urged the Royal Malaysia Police not to impose any restrictions on media organisations covering events organised by them. 

He also assured that he would immediately contact the force regarding the matter. 

“Regarding the media, I will contact the police immediately to ensure there are no restrictions on the media,” he said to reporters after delivering a speech to the enforcement officers of the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry here, today. 

Media outlets reported that the Malaysiakini portal was barred from covering a police event in Kuala Lumpur that was supposed to be attended by Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain yesterday. 

The event, titled PDRM Special Dialogue II began with a closed-door discussion between Bukit Aman’s narcotics criminal investigation department and stakeholders, including other law enforcement agencies under the Home Ministry and Finance Ministry. 

The ban was imposed even though Malaysiakini had received an invitation via email from Bukit Aman, with the portal responding on the same day and providing the details of two journalists assigned to cover the event. 

According to a Bukit Aman media officer, a screening process was conducted, and only those who received a second email invitation on August 21 were allowed to cover the event. 

However, Malaysiakini journalists were later allowed to enter and cover a press conference involving Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, Deputy Inspector-General of Police Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay, and Home Ministry secretary-general Ruji Ubi. – August 23, 2024
