PETALING JAYA: Harakah, PAS' official organ has been allowed to publish bi-weekly, more than eight years after it's publication frequency was cut to twice monthly by the Home Ministry.

It's editor-in-chief, Ahmad Lutfi Othaman told mStar Online that the letter of approval was given Monday, adding that the appeal was made three months ago.

He said the management would decide when it would revert to being a bi-weekly newspaper.

Harakah used to have a circulation of more than 300,000 before its frequency was slashed.

The paper's current twice-monthly edition has a circulation of 250,000, according to Ahmad Lufti.
