''It is the responsibility of the chief editors to ensure that their organisations do not go beyond the boundaries set in reporting such issues,''he said.

Despite the clarity of the country’s publishing laws and guidelines, he said, “every paper has crossed the line (in reporting sensitive issues) one time or another. Now it’s Utusan (which has crossed the line).”

Hishammuddin said that it was difficult to control the flow of information on sensitive issues, especially with the emergence of the new media.

.

“If it (the information) does not make it to the mainstream papers, it will somehow or rather get to the new media like online news portals, Facebook and short messaging service,” he said

As a Malaysian and Blogger,I think Government are trying to control the news reported by Chinese Media.That's why the news about 709 BERSIH 2.0 Rally did not reported again after 10th July 2011 in most of local Chinese Newspapers.Those chief editors were warned and being obey to what government told them to do.Anyhow,many online media such as Malaysia kini,free Malaysia today and Truth Behind Malaysia will keep our principal to report the truth to all Malaysian people.
