On another issue, Fahmi emphasised that the latest version of the Malaysian Code of Ethics for Journalists would not restrict media freedom in the country. He pointed out that some of the comments on the revised version of the code were unfair towards the Information Department (JaPen) and the Malaysian Press Institute (MPI), which drafted it. “If you were to look at the original code of ethics, it includes phrases like to curb communism, which no longer is an issue in Malaysia. “If you compare (the original and the revised codes), they are almost the same. “The preamble is the same; there are still eight key points in the document. Nothing to do with curbing media freedom,” he added. Fahmi said it was necessary to update the code, especially in the era of artificial intelligence, blogs and online media, which did not exist when the original code was introduced.
