PETALING JAYA:The management of Sin Chew Daily unreservedly acknowledges the advice of His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, over the gaffe of the Jalur Gemilang displayed on its front page.

The King, who remarked that the Jalur Gemilang is a symbol of Malaysia, issued a reminder that the media must be careful and thorough in checking the contents before publication.

The daily has conducted a thorough internal review on the matter and the staff responsible for the error will be subjected to disciplinary action, said the daily in a statement.

The editorial department of Sin Chew Daily has enhanced its review procedures especially in the use of artificial intelligence, it said.

“We pledge to be extra cautious and sensitive in handling matters that may harm national dignity and interracial relations,” the daily said.
