The Information, Communications and Culture minister is looking into the guidelines and conditions for political parties to air their election manifestos over Radio Television Malaysia (RTM), the Dewan Negara was told today.  

NONE Deputy Minister Joseph Salang (right) said the ministry was working with the Election Commission to fine-tune the details.

“This is to enable every political party contesting in the general election to explain the contents and primary objectives of their manifestos,” he said when replying to a question from Senator Saiful Izham Ramli.

Salang said RTM would provide for broadcast of the election manifestos in accordance with the guidelines and conditions and RTM’s broadcast hours and programme schedules.
