The Heat suspended for changes in ownership, purpose, says Putrajaya

The Heat weekly was suspended because it did not inform of changes in its ownership and its purpose of being a business magazine, the Home Ministry said today.

"The Heat’s publication permit states that the outlet is required to inform the Home Ministry of any change of ownership.

"Furthermore, the permit provides for a weekly business magazine. However, these provisions were violated," the ministry said in a statement late today.

The weekly which was launched in September had suspended publication this week after getting a second show cause letter from the ministry.
