00:19Broadcast's License on March 7.

00:22However, it said after reviewing the company's appeal and considering several factors, including

00:28corrective actions taken by the license holder and a formal apology from the parties involved,

00:33the Commission opted against suspending the license.

00:43under the same license, namely Melody and Mix FM.

00:47The Commission said Maestra Broadcast was fined RM250,000 for violating Section 233

00:53of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 for improper use of network facilities.
