Biasak lar. Been around for so long. Now only want to investigate???

From Malaysiakini 19th July 2009

Cops quiz reporters over 'sexed up' report

Two reporters of a local newspaper were questioned by police for two hours last night over a false report about a restaurant offering sexily-clad women to entertain patrons during meals.

Kuala Lumpur CID chief Ku Chin Wah, when contacted by Bernama, confirmed that the police had summoned the two reporters for questioning on the matter.

The reporters had claimed in their report that the service was reserved for members of the restaurant and it was provided only on certain weekends.

The newspaper had claimed that the information was obtained from an e-mail sent to the daily and that the reporters, after a month-long stakeout, had smuggled themselves into the restaurant to be among the VIPs.

Restaurant does not exist

Ku said investigations showed that such a restaurant did not exist and that the picture the reporters had used had been obtained over the Internet and was of a restaurant in a neighbouring country.

He said the case was being investigated under the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984 for the publication of false news with malicious intent.

Hello Mr Policeman.

A lot of papers and magazines had been writing these sensational news. Now only want to investigate???
I think if they were to really charge, quite a lot of people from NSTP, China Press and Mastika/Misteri would be in jail by now.

Old story lar.
