Although only official media are permitted to attend the one-day Parliament sitting on May 18, other media despite not being allowed in can still report on the sitting as it will be broadcast live via RTM said Communications and Multimedia Minister Saifuddin Abdullah.

Commenting on several parties urging for other media organisations to be allowed to cover the sitting, he said the decision was made to ensure that social distancing was carried out in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak in the country.
