KUALA LUMPUR: The role of the press is regarded important in Islam as it can be"a weapon that can kill" if fake and distorted news is allowed to fester, says Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang.
The Marang MP said that many times in the past, it was journalists who spoke up against injustice and created the awareness of the public to right the wrongs of governments. "Islam regards the media as an important aspect of the nation that needs to be used to inform the people while educating them on the rights and wrongs."Journalists are at times the ones who dared to speak up against injustice."A government which is wrong fears the media that speaks up," said Abdul Hadi.
