PETALING JAYA: Several advocacy groups have criticised the opening of investigation papers over a reporter’s news piece on the recent floods.

Free Malaysia Today's reporter Sean Augustin has been summoned for questioning on Wednesday over the report published on Dec 21 last year, according to The Rakyat Post.

“We are also firm with the demand for the setting-up of the Malaysian Media Council as a self-regulation mechanism and a platform to resolve any disputes with the media, without involving the investigation of the authorities. “Geramm also hoped that the authorities would act transparently by informing the called media whether their statements would be recorded as witnesses to assist the investigation or otherwise, a police report had been lodged against them by any party.
