KUALA LUMPUR, July 14 – The Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama) has withdrawn its correspondent in Jakarta, Indonesia effective immediately following the claim by the Jakarta Globe that two of its articles had been plagiarised and published in www.bernama.com, last week.
Bernama Editor-in-Chief Datuk Zulkefli Salleh said in a statement here on Monday that a new correspondent would be sent to Jakarta, scheduled in August.
He said that following the allegation, two Bernama management representatives had held a meeting with editors of the Indonesian newspaper in Jakarta at the end of last week.
“Following the meeting, the newspaper considered the matter to have been resolved,” he said.
