Media practitioners have been instructed by inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar not to reveal too much about the kidnap of the Taiwanese woman in Sabah as this "may endanger her safety".

Singling out the report in The Star today, Khalid said the media should be ethical in its reports and be concerned about the safety of the victim, whose husband was killed by terrorists in holiday resort of Pulau Pom Pom and she was taken away.
