76 opposition reps decry 'unreasonable, unfair' contempt verdict, want govt action
Seventy-six opposition MPs, state assemblypersons and senator have jointly called for an immediate consultation to discuss media guidelines that are fair and built on a rights-based approach, following the Federal Court verdict against Malaysiakini yesterday.
They also expressed their grave concern over the verdict against the news portal...
''76 opposition reps decry 'unreasonable, unfair' contempt verdict, want govt action '' Isn't this statement a 'contempt of court' ? By this its saying that the judges give 'unreasonable and unfair ' verdict. And so are incompetent? If more than 76 disagree with the judges, does not this mean that it was a bad decision? Also the statement ' had scandalized the court by facilitating ', need to be explained clearly why is this so? How can an opinion on posting scandalize the court when it had no effect on the court's works? So its only an assumption. Is an assumption so important and an evidence to find the portal guilty and to fine the portal. ?
This problem started with the PN Govt's AG taking action against Malaysiakini. So it is the PN Govt's attack on the freedom of the Press.
No need the hullballoo. The govt should censure the AG for taking the case to Court. This happened as a result of the Govt's action.
