Bernama inks collaboration with HIMC to promote tourism, drive economic growth
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama) formalised a strategic collaboration with Hainan International Media Center (HIMC) to enhance the promotion of Malaysia's tourism industry and stimulate economic growth. Bernama Chairman Datuk Seri Wong Chun Wai said the news agency is prepared to play an active role in showcasing distinctive local tourism offerings to attract more international visitors, especially from China. 'This marks the first collaboration between Bernama and HIMC to showcase Malaysia's tourism industry and investment landscape through media platforms. "They are eager to discover and help highlight local products and notable tourist destinations in Malaysia, such as the scenic beaches of Penang and Terengganu, to audiences in China," he told Bernama after the signing ceremony here on Friday (Aug 1). He said Malaysia would also serve as a strategic partner in promoting tourism in Hainan province, which offers more affordable travel options compared to other destinations. The partnership was formalised under the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor Cultural Cooperation Alliance, which brings together HIMC and several Malaysian organisations, including Bernama, Kwong Wah Yit Poh, Nanyang Siang Pau, MILA University, the Federation of Hainan Association Malaysia, and the Malaysia Asean-China Economic and Trade Development Promotion Association. The alliance aims to foster closer collaboration between media and cultural organisations in Malaysia and China, focusing on supporting content co-production, talent development and policy coordination. Additionally, the alliance places a strong emphasis on youth collaboration, with institutions such as MILA University in Malaysia and the Lingshui Haifeng International Film and Television Base in Hainan, which cooperate on exchange programmes, creative workshops, and training initiatives to nurture regional talent. Meanwhile, HIMC's Senior Advisor on Hainan-Asean International Communication, Dr Pua Eng Teck, said Malaysia was chosen as a strategic hub due to its strong historical and cultural ties with the Malaysian Chinese community, particularly in the fields of business, culture and information exchange. 'Kuala Lumpur is the central city of Malaysia, offering strategic geographical advantages and greater opportunities to foster people-to-people and business-to-business connections,' he said. Beyond business collaboration, Dr Pua also highlighted the benefits for students, especially those from China pursuing higher education in Malaysia. 'HIMC plays a key role not just in promoting cultural ties, but also in supporting educational exchange. It provides a strong platform for Chinese students studying in Malaysia to engage more deeply with local communities and institutions,' he added. – BERNAMA

What's it like to scale the highest active volcano in South-East Asia
We'd love to hear what made your holiday so special. Your story – experiences, tips, advice – should be 700 to 800 words long in Word or Text format.

Email star2travel@ with the subject 'Readers Share'. How many of you have heard of Mount Kerinci in Sumatra, Indonesia? It may not be as famous as Indonesia's other peak in Lombok – Mount Rinjani – or even Sabah's Mount Kinabalu, but it's still a great climb for adventurous folks. Standing at 3,805m, Mount Kerinci is the highest active volcano in South-East Asia (making it Indonesia's tallest mountain), surpassing even Japan's Mount Fuji (3,776m). Known as the 'rooftop of Sumatra', this majestic peak is often wrapped in clouds and cloaked in mystery. I've never thought of myself as an 'adventurer'; I generally prefer having a quiet, not-too- adventurous life. But a prompt by my best friend made me – reluctantly – join a group of friends to scale Mount Kerinci. There were 16 of us, plus six amazing guides from Trekking Indrapura Indonesia. We started our climb at 9am from Pintu Rimba, the main entrance of the Kerinci Seblat National Park. The initial trek to Shelter 1 felt familiar to me, almost comforting even. The cool air, shaded trails and thick foliage reminded me of the Malaysian rainforests that I grew up around. A group photo on the summit of Mount Kerinci in Sumatra. However, the climb from Shelter 1 to Shelter 2 was brutal. We passed through an area called 'lubang tikus' or rat hole, which felt like something out of Alice In Wonderland. Only I wasn't Alice but rather, Mowgli from The Jungle Book, clambering and clawing my way up through the 'jungle'. By the time we reached 2,000m, some in the group started showing signs of acute mountain sickness or AMS. Our experienced guides stepped in to help – they handled things calmly and kept us on the right path, pushing us to move forward safely and steadily. We arrived at Shelter 3 (3,290m) at 6pm, and spent the night there. We were exhausted but happy that everyone made it. With sore legs and happy hearts, we huddled in the cold, knowing that the real challenge begins in just a few hours. At 2.30am we woke up to get ready to summit. It was freezing and dark but we geared up, put on our headlamps and started trekking about an hour later. The trail was narrow, steep, and unstable. Loose rocks shifted beneath our feet, and every gust of wind went through our jackets. The group of friends and acquaintances before making the climb, with Mount Kerinci in the background. I started to panic – my fear of heights coupled with the darkness of the night and the biting cold suddenly became too much for me to bear. Fortunately, a few friends noticed this and stayed by my side, helping and encouraging me to push forward, and to just take things step by step. At 6.45am, we finally reached the summit, together. Words could not describe what we felt. The sunrise painted the sky gold while a sea of clouds stretched below us. The red volcanic rocks glowed warmly in the light. It was breathtaking, humbling. A moment I will never forget. Once we've had our fill of God's beauty, we got ready for our descent, which turned out to be quite terrifying for someone like me. Climbing up, I was too focused on keeping my pace and preserving energy to notice the drop. But as we started climbing down in daylight, my phobia kicked in and hit me hard. I froze. Thankfully, one of our guides, Andes, held my hand the entire way down. I felt like a helpless princess! After a short rest at Shelter 3, we trekked down to Pintu Rimba. It wasn't as technically difficult as climbing up the day before, but our legs were 'dead'. Still, step by step, we made it. By 4pm, we were back to our hotel, smelly, muddy and with aching bodies. Nevertheless, we were all proud of our achievement beyond words. I need to add that one friend even did the whole thing while suffering through mild diarrhoea. What a champ!

Confidence in Sabah as biz, convention tourism hub
Published on: Friday, August 01, 2025 Published on: Fri, Aug 01, 2025 Text Size: Liew (centre) with Dr Rosmawati (right) and SICC Assistant Director of Corporate Communications, Clara Lim (left) displaying their promotional material. Kota Kinabalu: Minister of Tourism, Culture and Environment Datuk Seri Christina Liew is confident that Sabah will fully unleash its potential as a leading destination for Business Events (BE) or Meeting, Incentive, Convention & Exhibition (MICE) tourism. She said going by the relentless efforts made by the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC), Sabah is on the right track towards reaching this milestone in the not too distant future. 'We (Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Environment) fully support the SICC-organised Bigsabah Sale 2025 from October 31 to November 2, given its role in driving domestic tourism, empowering local entrepreneurs, and elevating Sabah's profile in the regional economic landscape. 'I understand that the event will feature 500 booths, up from 300 in 2024, and is expected to attract 50,000 visitors,' Liew said after a courtesy call by the Chief Executive Officer of SICC, Datuk Dr Hajah Rosmawati Haji Lasuki on Tuesday. The Minister also noted that Sabah through the SICC is strengthening regional ties ahead of the event with expanded international participation. In her briefing, Dr Rosmawati, who is the Event Organising Chairman, stressed that Bigsabah Sale 2025 aims to further strengthen Sabah's positioning as the gateway to East Asean and the Asia Pacific region. Towards this end, for the first time, a curated B2B component will also be introduced for participants to create meaningful trade connections and unlock regional opportunities, she said. 'Which is why we are focusing on the 80 million population of the BIMP-EAGA (Brunei Darussalam-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines-East Asean Growth Area) region. Sabah can serve as a platform for these countries and other regions to promote their products and services. 'In this respect, we are stimulating growing international interest by extending invitations to other countries, including China, the Philippines, Singapore, and Taiwan, to take part in this year's event. 'We are pleased to confirm that Thailand is committed to participating with 20 booths,' the Organising Chairman said, while enlightening the Minister on the momentum gained from her recent promotional visits to Brunei and Indonesia, along with outreach efforts across Penang, Kedah, Perlis, Selangor, and Kuala Lumpur, to build regional participation and connect businesses to Sabah's growing marketplace. To be spread across two themed zones, Gourmet & Home Living and Decor (Level 2) and Fashion & Lifestyle (Level 4), Bigsabah Sale 2025 promises an immersive showcase of culture, commerce, cuisine, fashion, and collaboration, Dr Rosmawati added. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
