PETALING JAYA: Anyone who has a grouse about media organisations, journalists and other journalism-related issues in the country can soon make a direct complaint to the Malaysian Media Council (MMM). The complaints mechanism aims to provide a clearer avenue for addressing concerns about journalism, rather than relying on public pressure through social media as in the past. “People always like to make everything viral (on social media) when they want something addressed. She also said that currently, The Star’s complaints mechanism is spread out across different departments, depending on the nature of the complaints. The council plans to travel nationwide to promote their complaints mechanism to the public after the Hari Raya celebrations, said Radzi.
