Al Jazeera team maintains documentary reporting was fair, says lawyer

KUALA LUMPUR: The Al Jazeera team has maintained that their reporting on a documentary here was fair, says their lawyer.

Lawyer Hisyam Teh Poh Teik, when met outside Bukit Aman on Friday , said his clients will cooperate fully with police investigations.

“Despite the fact, footage was used from government releases and was put in the documentary,” he said.“You all are journalists and you know how important it is to portray a report as fair, balanced and accurate. And this was done by the Al Jazeera team,” he said. “In fact, one report has been lodged at the Dang Wangi police station because the staff member felt threatened. We hope the police will investigate the report and give the necessary protection to the employees of Al Jazeera,” he said.The documentary highlighted the government's actions on migrants while dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic.
