KUALA LUMPUR, 11 Jan (Bernama) -- Sarawak Media Group (SMG)/ TVS issued a statement today stating that the recent arrest of a broadcasting station senior official in relation to a money laundering case had nothing to do with it.
SMG/TVS said that the company remained in support of the principle of justice and would cooperate with the authorities if required.
“We understand the concern of all parties regarding this matter and would like to state that this has nothing to do with SMG/TVS.
“SMG/TVS operations will continue as usual, and we encourage that any queries or explanation on this matter be made directly to us through our official channels to ensure accurate and verified information,” the company said, adding that it would be committed to ensuring integrity and maintaining the trust of all stakeholders and the public, and would monitor the situation closely.
“We also would like to stress that spreading any fake news or baseless allegations can have an unfair implication to our reputation, and we take this seriously. We humbly thank everyone for their support,” the company added.
