A new party publication is set to hit the streets today to replace the banned Suara Keadilan , announced PKR today.

The popular Suara Keadilan and PAS' Harakah were handed a three-month suspension by the Home Ministry last week for apparently inciting hatred against the government.

The party today said that it has decided to adhere to the ban and not publish Suara Keadilan until the suspension expires.

However as a replacement, the party said that it would be coming out with a new weekly publication called Suara Keamanan .

"It will be available for our readers from today," said Suara Keamanan 's editorial team in a statement.

Suara Keamanan will be published without a printing permission from the Home Ministry as "it does not require such a permission as it is not a periodical".

The first edition of Suara Keamanan played up the three upcoming by-elections on April 7.

PKR is contesting in two of the by-elections.

The main headline of the edition says ‘ Kubur BN ' (BN's grave) and carries photographs of PKR's candidate in Bukit Selambau S Manikumar and its Batang Ai candidate Jawah Gerang.

The front page also contained a photo of PAS' Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin who is contesting in Bukit Selambau.

Harakah is now Hujah

On March 23, the Home Ministry suspended both Suara Keadilan and PAS' Harakah for three months with immediate effect.

Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar was reported as saying that the two newspapers were suspended because they had violated the conditions of their permits and for inciting "hatred" against the government.

According to him, the two party organs often published articles which questioned royalty and sensationalised news that were defamatory and aimed at causing confusion and disharmony in society.

In a similar fashion, Harakah is also expected to launch an alternate publication named Hujah . The first issue will be out on Friday.
