Guangming suspended

Bad News: The Government has suspended Guangming Daily for two weeks, starting from February 16 to March 1, for publishing a photo depicting caricatures on Prophet Mohammad which Muslims considered blasphemous.

Good News: The suspension will only affect the evening edition of Guangming Daily.

Yesterday, two senior editors Ye Ning and Siew Nyoke Chow from Penang-based Guangming Daily handed over to Internal Security Ministry officials yesterday a letter explaining the paper’s use of a news agency photo.
