MTUC
strongly condemn the decision of the Ministry to suspend the publication of
Edge for 3 months. MTUC also condemns any restriction on press freedom. It is a
duty of any journalist to expose any suspected wrong doing, be it by individual
or people in power. The suspension of the media publication only reflects the
decrease in the freedom of Information. Every workman has a right to know how
public funds are being utilised for the benefit of the public as a whole. The
Edge’s publication has done nothing more than alerting the public based on
evidence obtained by them that there are high probabilities of misuse of public
fund.
