KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 25 — Media as the fourth estate need to be given space to provide checks and balances as well as oversights on governance as long as it is within the ambit of the law, said Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil.

He said in return, state-owned media agencies and privately owned media are reminded to serve the interests of the rakyat and not to fulfil any unseen agenda or any personal, private interests.
