Nuj Voices Regret After Open Ended Probe On Media Intimidation





The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) has voiced "regret" after an open-ended police probe on an altercation between a security guard and a journalist.
In a statement today, NUJ said the harassment of journalists was a common occurrence and yet the government has turned a blind eye.
"Do we have to sit and wait for something bad to happen before action will be taken or laws enacted to protect the press?
"NUJ wishes to remind (the authorities) that unless action is taken on those who threaten violence against the press, it will happen again," it added.
The union also urged the government to form the long-awaited media council.
A draft bill on the media council - aimed at allowing the media industry to self-regulate - was submitted to the government in 2020 but was never adopted.
The NUJ was referring to the altercation between a security guard at the Urban Transformation Centre (UTC) in Kuala Lumpur and two journalists from The Vibes on May 14.
The security guard was depicted on video yelling at the two journalists, who had been interviewing people in long queues at the Immigration Department.
At one point, the security guard snatched a mobile phone used by one of the journalists who was video recording the incident.
Ostensibly, the security guard believed that the journalists had no right to be practising journalism on the premises within his jurisdiction without permission.
Criminalise obstructing journalists
Dang Wangi police chief Noor Dellhan Yahaya said statements from both parties have been recorded and the matter has been classified as "refer to magistrate".
Dellhan said he will issue a statement soon with an elaboration.
Meanwhile, media watchdog Gerakan Media Merdeka (Geramm) said Malaysia required laws to protect journalists and address the issue of "asking for permission" to practise journalism.
"The responsibility of the media is to abide by journalistic ethics - clearly identifying themselves, anonymising identities of sources when necessary and providing the right of response on any allegations.
"Therefore, harassing and obstructing journalists, especially in situations involving threats and physical violence, should be criminalised," the group said. - Mkini
