MACC communications officers enhance public messaging effectiveness
Working closely with the Strategic Communications Division, these officers bridge the gap between MACC and the media, ensuring transparency and public trust.
Hisyam Mohd Yusoff, director of the division, highlighted the officers' role in refining communication strategies.
He emphasised their importance in delivering accurate information through mainstream and social media channels.
'We hope that the appointed officers will develop their interest, showcase their talents, and contribute meaningfully to the MACC's communication efforts,' he said.
The recent Joint Management Enhancement Programme, attended by 40 liaison officers nationwide, aimed to sharpen their media management skills.
Held over three days, the training focused on crafting news reports and feature articles.
Bernama's Features and Current Affairs Desk assistant editor, Erda Khursyiah Basir, guided participants in writing techniques that ensure clarity and impact.
The programme also reinforced the importance of concise language in official communications.
Officers later shared internal guidelines on news writing formats to maintain consistency in media publications.
Looking ahead, the division plans to expand training with state-level writing workshops later this year.
These efforts align with MACC's commitment to transparency and public engagement. - Bernama

Dayang 2Q bottom line decreases
The company said its revenue fell by 41% to RM267.35mil against RM455.84mil previously. KUALA LUMPUR: Dayang Enterprise Holdings Bhd 's net profit for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 (2Q25) slipped to RM76.64mil from RM131.43mil in 2Q24. In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the company said its revenue fell by 41% to RM267.35mil against RM455.84mil previously due to a lower vessel utilisation rate of 64% as compared to 91% in 2Q24. This decline was mainly driven by the delay in oil majors' contract commencement and the drydocking of two anchor-handling tug supply vessels in April and June 2025 for ship class extension, it added. For the first half ended June 30, 2025 (1H25), the company's net profit dropped to RM88.95mil against RM159.34mill in 1H24, while revenue slid by 40% to RM421.17mil versus RM702.96mil previously. The company said it is confident that solid activities will continue in the third quarter and taper off in the fourth quarter, given its performance in 2Q25, supported by steady vessel utilisation. — Bernama

KUALA LUMPUR: The bumiputera socio-economic empowerment agenda as outlined in the Bumiputera Economic Transformation Plan 2035 (PuTERA 35) continues to be emphasised in the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP). Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan said this effort ensures that no one is marginalised in the 13MP implementation, and at the same time, the government will continue to eradicate poverty regardless of ethnicity. "In principle, the government has always abided by what is enshrined in the Constitution, as emphasis is given to bumiputeras and this will always be safeguarded," he said when winding up the debate on the 13MP motion in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday. Amir Hamzah, who also carries out the duties and functions of the economy minister, stressed that the issue of poverty affects all regardless of ethnicity or religion, and the government needs to address poverty eradication holistically. "The bumiputera affirmative agenda will continue to be safeguarded as enshrined in the Constitution, and poverty will be addressed in line with the implementation of needs-based policies," he added. He said the government is committed to intensifying comprehensive development based on multiple dimensions to create equitable opportunities, thus increasing social mobility and the well-being of the rakyat through the needs-based approach. "This effort will benefit all target groups in need, including bumiputera, Orang Asli, Sabahans, Sarawak bumiputera, as well as the Indian and Chinese communities," he said. – Bernama
