JEDDAH (Reuters) -Signing Formula One champion Max Verstappen would come with 'a lot of downsides' for Mercedes, who would be better off keeping their current drivers, Williams boss James Vowles said on Friday.
PETALING JAYA: The recent detention of senior editors from Sin Chew Daily has drawn sharp concern from media practitioners and watchdog groups, who describe the actions as excessive and detrimental to press freedom in the country.
She said those involved in the case had given their full cooperation to the authorities and hoped for a fair investigation to be carried out based on facts. Meanwhile, the Centre for Independent Journalism said that the detention of the editors under the Sedition Act and the Communications and Multimedia Act were excessive.
“There is also no indication that it was done maliciously. If the authorities use punitive laws like the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984 then it becomes overkill.“Everybody will need to speak up, because if everybody makes errors right, the issue is, how are you dealing with errors?” she said when contacted Friday .
