Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said that members of the media have the right to question Cabinet ministers as part of their job, and in return, ministers should accept queries and respond with decorum and openness.
The government spokesman said that this was conveyed to all ministers during the Cabinet meeting on Friday (Oct 31) after a video of Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming telling off an Utusan Malaysia reporter for asking a question during a press conference went viral.
