KUALA LUMPUR: The Home Ministry (KDN) will call Malaysiakini and China Press soon to seek clarification and further information on news reports pertaining to the "rape joke" issue.
It takes seriously the inaccurate media reports published by the local news portal and newspaper regarding the statement made by deputy Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Datuk Seri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani yesterday.
"KDN advises media practitioners to maintain good principles of journalism to preserve the integrity of reports published," said KDN in a statement today.
