RTM producer claims ‘political interference’ causing documentary to be taken off air

Chou Z Lam, the producer of a documentary on RTMs TV2 claims that the documentary was taken off air due to political interference. He said that the programme which was on the issue of the Bakun Dam was instructed to stop its broadcast alleging that because the BN (Barisan Nasional) was concerned over its chances in the by-election of Hulu Selangor then.

The instruction came from under instruction from Datuk Ibrahim Yahya, the Chief Broadcast Executive of RTM. Chow wrote in his blog "RTM's newsroom chief executive Jumat Engson said the documentary was taken off the air because it had sensitive elements that could be harmful (for BN) in the upcoming Sibu by-election as well as the Sarawak state elections," This came in the wake of the allegations made by Joshua Wong, the producer of ntv7 who quit in protest who claimed that there was interference by Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, the wife of the prime minister and the Prime Minister’s office on his show when it discussed the issue of the by-election.

Chow added that “This is another news interference by the government during and after the Hulu Selangor by-election. I feel deeply sorry for the people of Sungai Asap whom I had interviewed, as their problems and voices are being prevented from being heard by the majority of the people both in East and West Malaysia. The move was totally against Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's '1Malaysia' slogan of 'People first'. If the Sibu by-election and the Sarawak state election are reasons for the show to be taken off the air, then what RTM is implementing is actually 'politics first'",

Ibrahim though denied the allegations saying that "I did not give such orders [...] you should ask Chou instead,"
