Newsweekly The Heat feeling the heat...

From The Malaysian Insider:


Home Ministry issues show-cause letter to The Heat over Najib, Rosmah story

'Weekly news publication “The Heat” has been issued a show-cause letter by the Home Ministry, believed to be over a front-page article on Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor’s expenditure.

The Malaysian Insider understands that although the letter did not specify the offending article, it was a report entitled “All eyes on big spending Najib” published in its November 23 to 29 issue.

It is also believed that “The Heat” editor-in-chief  David Lee Boon Siew was summoned to the Home Ministry in Putrajaya a week ago and told to tone down its reports.

“The Heat” received the letter a couple of days ago and HCK Media, the publisher, has 14 days to reply.'
