KUALA LUMPUR, May 11 — Pakatan Harapan (PH) does not intend to shut down broadcaster TV3, Lim Kit Siang assured the public after one of his party’s lawmakers demanded this today.

Commenting on Jelutong MP RSN Rayer’s Facebook post to the effect, Lim said PH must not indulge in witch hunts and vendettas following its victory in the 14th general election.

“The closure of TV3 is neither DAP nor Pakatan Harapan policy,” the Iskandar Puteri MP said in a statement.

He said Rayer has retracted the call and explained that the remarks were made in frustration over previous treatment by the station.

Lim also added that the comments may have been made in the exuberance sweeping over the country now as Malaysians enjoy the freedoms they were once denied.

He also reiterated PH’s commitment to removing the controls previously put in place to restrict the local media, saying one of his first acts when Parliament reconvenes is to seek the repeal of the Anti-Fake News Act.

Rayer earlier claimed that PH would rescind TV3’s licence for its alleged incitement against the pact.
