Now DAP’s ‘The Rocket’ gets show cause letter from Home Ministry

The Rocket, the official organ for opposition party DAP has become the latest publication to be issued a show-cause letter by the Home Ministry. That completes all the opposition party in the past week where Suara Keadilan from the PKR (Parti Keadilan Rakyat) has had their license not renewed while Harakah from PAS was issued 2 show cause letters and DAP now faces the same action where they have to explain why publication still proceeded despite their publishing license’s expiry.

According to sources who told local news portal Malaysian Insider “We have however already applied for a renewal of the permits. By convention, it always takes the ministry between six and nine months to renew the permits. By the time the ministry issued the permits, they would already be due for expiry in the next three months or so. We usually apply for a renewal two months prior to their expiry. Even then, it takes ages. This is why we have to proceed with our publication even without the permits because if we do not, the publication will never be able to run smoothly,”

Meanwhile, Tony Pua, the publicity secretary of DAP said “The ministry has yet to take any action to stop the publication of the Rocket. The party was often careful with its articles, knowing full well that the publication’s printing permit could be revoked at any time by the powerful Home Ministry.”
