PR MPs want to meet Syed Hamid

At a press conference held at DAP's Damansara Service Centre, the PR MPs said the government's move to loosen up its licencing regime by allowing the opposition PKR to publish its Suara Keadilan party organ and its apparent openness to bloggers are also laudable.

However, the decision to revoke Tamil paper Makkal Osai's printing permit for reasons that remain unclear illustrates the need for a complete overhaul of laws pertaining to the media, they said.
