PETALING JAYA: The establishment of a media council will be given priority by deputy communications and digital minister Teo Nie Ching.

She said this was in line with the aspirations expressed by the minister, Fahmi Fadzil.

Teo said the government would respect press freedom and recognise the important role played by media practitioners in the country.

“We hope to set up a professional media council so that it can regulate the media industry and ensure that there is no politically motivated interference,” Teo told Bernama.
