PETALING JAYA: Star Media Group, which publishes The Star newspaper and online portal, refers to an article by The Coverage social news website, titled ‘Prof Jomo: Tun Daim Using Billions In Offshore Account To Weaken Ringgit – Pressure The Central Bank To Hike The OPR’.
It has come to the Group’s attention that the July 16 article above - which appears to quote an exclusive report by The Star as its source - is titled in an irresponsible manner that does not accurately reflect the content of the original The Star report that it cites.
The original report by StarBiz - headlined ‘Weak ringgit due to speculation’ and published on July 14 - also does not name or refer to former finance minister Tun Daim Zainuddin at any point in the text.
The public is reminded to refer to The Star’s official website for verified and credible news reports.
