KUALA LUMPUR-based non-governmental organisation (NGO), the Global Human Rights Federation (GHRF), is unconvinced with the statement of defence by broadcast station Awesome TV that its Berita 7:57 news content was only informative in nature to its target audience.
Its president S. Shashi Kumar said remarks made in the news bulletin “is obviously seditious and provocative” even as the station claimed that its intention was only to inform Malay voters that the new government may not be to their preference, hence affect their welfare if they do not vote.
“The report is to reinforce responsibilities among Malays that they need to exercise their rights as citizens and voters,” a spokesman of the station explained in a short statement made available to Malay Mail.
