: The Communications Ministry will detail the estimated allocation for establishing the Malaysian Media Council through a Cabinet memorandum in the near future, the Dewan Rakyat was told today.
The establishment of the MMC aims to develop and implement a code of ethics on reporting that will strengthen the journalism profession in the country and ensure more responsible news reporting by the media. However, he noted that freedom of expression is not absolute; it must be exercised responsibly and ethically, considering the diverse cultural and religious landscape that shapes Malaysian society.
In response to an interjection by Datuk Wan Saiful Wan Jan regarding the issue of some media companies failing to pay Employees Provident Fund contributions and wages to their employees, Fahmi said this matter is on his priority list for review. Meanwhile, Fahmi said that among the proposed initiatives under the MADANI Creative Youth Programme are the Human Capital Development Programme, which aims to benefit 6,000 skilled youths through 120 organised programmes, and the hosting of university leagues or short film competitions among youth communities at public and private universities or colleges.
