SANDAKAN: Media practitioners have been reminded to discharge their duties responsibly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sandakan Media Association (PEMASSA) Honorary Advisor Thomas Lau Chi Keong disclosed at a media conference after attending a PEMASSA event on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a responsible media person, you should be held accountable to inform and relay the facts, not to present false information that can mislead the public, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The media need to stand against false news narratives and also refrain from presenting one side of the story, Lau said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Media practitioners play an important role in assisting to disseminate information on the government\u2019s development agendas to the people, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his speech, PEMASSA chairman James Leong said members\u2019 welfare remains a priority to the PEMASSA office bearers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe will work together for the benefit and interest of PEMASSA members,\u201d James added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Saturday\u2019s PEMASSA Family Night and Annual General Meeting, the committee headed by James Leong was unanimously returned unopposed by members attending the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is James\u2019 fourth term helming the association, which has 33 members comprising representatives from the local print and electronic media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
