From thestar.com.my: KUALA LUMPUR: The Government decided not to renew the licence of Makkal Osai because the Tamil newspaper had breached some of its licensing guidelines, said Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar.
He said it was not true that the permit was not renewed because the daily had published too many opposition stories.
The Home Minister said each newspaper was reviewed on a yearly basis in terms of its contribution to society with regards to nation building and a more united Malaysia.

Re: Paper shut down for breaching guidelines
The UMNO government is not even attempting to comfort the angry & marginalised Indians.They are adding salt to the wound.
I appreciate the new Information Minister who is so open and willing to accept feedback from the public through all available media whereby corrective measures can be identified from various communities.
But by suspending press freedom how could one voice out or know the problems faced by the public.The 8th March election is a clear signal to some of these arrogant & stubborn UMNO grassroots.They're all out to create many more communal dissatisfaction and would be totally rejected.It would be too late to cry over spilt milk.
The PM in order regain his strength,he must weed out some of the lallang from the cabinet.Unfitting shoes should be thrown away.This will definitely bring confidence and trust in the PM.These unfitting & unintelectual UMNO grassroots will ruin the party.
Long live Malaysia with everlasting peace & prosperity.
