“As for the ministry, we are not aware of this issue. We will specifically ask RTM Sarawak to come out with an explanation on this issue,” he told reporters after launching a briefing on cybercrime prevention and anti-human trafficking at the P. Ramlee Auditorium, RTM Kuching, here.
Communications and Multimedia Minister Gobind Singh Deo reiterated recently that the ministry had not issued any directive or guideline to RTM on providing coverage in opposition-held states.
