BEFORE the tabling of Budget 2021, Parliament issued a notice that only 15 media agencies were allowed to attend and report on the budget, including Berita Harian and Astro Awani.
According to them, the decision was made with Covid-19 in mind and in line with the SOP set by the Health Ministry and National Security Council.
Following that, Lembah Pantai MP Fahmi Fadzril questioned why there was a limit to the number of agencies.
Speaker Azhar Harun answered that physical distancing would be undoable if the media room was too crowded.
He added that they were not restricting media freedom. “People say we blocked (the media) but we didn’t. If we did, we won’t even allow any media agencies at all,” he told the Dewan Rakyat.
