The Editors' Association of Chinese Medium of Malaysia (EACMM) has protested against Wisma Putra's decision to bar Chinese media outlets from covering the meeting between Foreign Minister Anifah Aman and family members of Malaysian diplomats stranded in North Korea.

Wisma Putra's invitation only listed 11 English and Bahasa Malaysia news outlets, citing lack of space at the Diplomacy and Foreign Relations Institute in Kuala Lumpur, where the meeting took place yesterday.
