Plot to Destablise NGOs?
from Current Affairs · host Morning Run
Following a defamation suit by several NGOs, the NST yesterday read out an apology in court for a story it published last year titled “Plot to Destablise Government”. They have to agreed to add the phrases "groundless allegations" and "false and without foundation" to characterize their story. Ironically, the story was written by award winning Farah Naz Karim. She was a winner of the Malaysia MPI-Petronas Journalism Awards this year in two categories: Best News Report and Best Investigative Journalism. We speak to the Executive Director of the Center for Independent Journalism on why they embarked on the suit and why they settled for a published apology and legal costs but no damages.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
