Hawana 2025 pre-launch set for June 3
LANGKAWI: The pre-launch ceremony for the National Journalists' Day (Hawana) 2025 celebration will be held on June 3, said Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil.
He said the theme and logo for this year's celebration, held to honour media practitioners in the country, will also be unveiled during the ceremony.
He added that in line with Malaysia's Asean Chairmanship in 2025, media organisations from across Southeast Asia will be involved in this year's Hawana celebration.
"In conjunction with the Asean Chairmanship, Hawana will not only be a national-level event but can also serve as a catalyst for stronger ties and networks between media organisations in Malaysia and those in other countries in the Asean region.
"This is important because in our efforts to build an Asean community, we cannot do without information and news from our Asean neighbours," he told reporters after attending the Northern Zone Safe Internet Campaign Tour here today.
Also present were Communications Ministry secretary-general Datuk Mohamad Fauzi Md Isa, Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission commission member Gen (Rtd) Tan Sri Zulkifeli Mohd Zin and Malaysian National News Agency chief executive officer Datin Paduka Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin.
Fahmi hoped that this year's Hawana celebration will be fully leveraged by local media practitioners to strengthen ties and cooperation among media organisations in the Asean region.
The Hawana 2025 celebration will be held in Kuala Lumpur in June. — BERNAMA

Anwar to contact Thai PM over Thailand-Cambodia border dispute
PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he would contact his Thai counterpart Paetongtarn Shinawatra today regarding the border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia. Anwar said that as the ASEAN Chair, Malaysia took note of the developments in both countries. 'We will issue a statement (on the outcome of the discussion with Paetongtarn) later,' he told reporters after performing Friday prayers at Surau Al-Ikhwan, Desa Pinggiran Putra, near here today. On May 28, Thai and Cambodian troops were involved in a brief skirmish in Thailand's Ubon Ratchathani province and Cambodia's Preah Vihear province, which reportedly resulted in the death of a Cambodian soldier. Cambodia has since announced its intention to bring the border dispute to the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Thailand, meanwhile, has reportedly reiterated its commitment to resolving the issue peacefully in accordance with international law, as well as existing agreements and memoranda with Cambodia. Malaysia assumed the ASEAN Chairmanship from Laos on Jan 1 this year, under the theme Inclusivity and Sustainability, reflecting the country's aspirations to build a united and prosperous ASEAN. This marks Malaysia's fifth time chairing ASEAN, having previously held the role in 1977, 1997, 2005 and 2015.
