NUJ president suspended from Utusan

PETALING JAYA: National Union of Journalists (NUJ) president Hata Wahari has been suspended by Utusan Melayu (M) Bhd pending a domestic inquiry which begins Monday.

He was informed of the suspension by a letter from Utusan human resources general manager Mohd Nazlan Osman, who stated that Hata had been suspended from the company effective Sunday.

Utusan is taking action against Hata for allegedly insulting the company’s management and tarnishing its image.

Hata said his criticisms were levelled at the editorial policies and not at the company.
