The Home Ministry has purportedly slapped a Chinese newspaper with a warning letter for publishing an interview with LGBTQ activist Chong Yee Shan.
Malaysiakini had sighted a copy of the letter, dated Sept 21, to Oriental Daily News and sources familiar with the matter had confirmed its authenticity.
Oriental Daily's editor-in-chief Puah You Lai has remained tightlipped on the matter while Malaysiakini's repeated attempts to obtain comments from the ministry proved futile.
