HAWANA 2025 bolsters media's role in promoting information literacy
KUALA LUMPUR: The National Journalists' Day (HAWANA) 2025 celebration, which kicks off today for a three-day run, serves as a platform to bolster the media's role in promoting information literacy, while also strengthening public engagement through a range of educational, entertainment and interactive activities. Communications Ministry deputy secretary-general (Telecommunication Infrastructure) Mano Verabathran said HAWANA is not just a platform to recognise media practitioners for delivering accurate information, but also affirms the media's role as a public education agent in an era of information overload. 'We need to educate the public on various issues related to media and information dissemination, including the importance of media literacy, fact-checking, and the dangers of spreading false information which could affect social harmony and national security,' he said when launching the HAWANA 2025 Carnival at Sunway Putra Mall here. Also present were Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama) chief executive officer Datin Paduka Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin and its editor-in-chief Arul Rajoo Durar Raj, who is also HAWANA 2025 project director. Mano said that since its inception in 2018, HAWANA has stood as a symbol of recognition for the vital role journalists play in shaping public opinion, defending freedom of expression, and articulating the aspirations of society. 'I would like to extend my congratulations to the organisers, particularly the Communications Ministry and Bernama, for their continued commitment to empowering journalism in Malaysia through inclusive and innovative approaches,' he said. Additionally, Mano said Bernama's fact-checking desk (MyCheck Malaysia) is an independent initiative by the news agency to educate the public on media literacy, with a focus on issues that impact people's lives and livelihoods. 'More than 400 fact-checking reports have been produced since 2020 and can be read at MyCheck reports are also published on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, X and TikTok,' he said. The three-day HAWANA 2025 Carnival features activities such as casual talks with agencies, quizzes, performances by invited artistes, colouring sessions, meet & greet events, as well as forums and workshops on creative writing, photography, podcasting, and media literacy, targeting teenagers and senior citizens. At the media interactive zone, visitors can experience the world of broadcasting through booths by Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM), Media Prima Berhad, Astro and TV AlHijrah, as well as live crossovers via the HAWANA Mini Studio by Bernama TV, the 'Breaking News' interactive game by Bernama Radio, and the 'Kempen Internet Selamat' exhibition by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). The exhibition and interactive booths also showcase digital broadcasting technology by the New Straits Times Press (NSTP) group, photo book sales, and media archives. The carnival is also joined by government agencies such as the Information Department and Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP), along with stalls run by young entrepreneurs and a community market involving media cooperatives, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and journalist alumni. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is scheduled to launch the main event of HAWANA 2025 at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL) tomorrow.

Marvel's Thunderbolts spotlights Malaysian stunt talent
Local stunt talent gained global recognition once again with JST & SFX Production's involvement in Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts, filmed partly in Kuala Lumpur and premiered globally early last month. Its founder, James Chung, said its involvement proves the local team's ability to produce high-quality action scenes on par with international productions. "We first got involved in international film productions around 2017 to 2018 through the UK film Strike Back and Skyfire, a China-US co-production. "For Thunderbolts , we were contacted by renowned stunt director Noon Orsatti before the collaboration was finalised,' he told Bernama recently. The film Thunderbolts , directed by Jake Schreier, features a star-studded cast including Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell and Geraldine Viswanathan. Parts of it were filmed at the world's second tallest building, Merdeka 118, in mid-2023. In addition to Thunderbolts , JST & SFX Production has also been involved in various other international productions including I Want To Be Rich, The Ghost Bride, The Little Nyonya, Attack Part 1, Special Raid, Big Octopus, Rajah, The Chosen One and Lord Of The Flies . Chung, who is also a stunt director, said his team consists of 20 experienced, well-trained and disciplined male and female local stunt actors. With over 20 years of experience in the field, he said their expertise was essential in executing complex and high-risk explosion scenes, which also involved over 100 extras. "The main challenge is ensuring that all the extras are well-coordinated so everything runs smoothly and safely, as explosions can send flying debris. We are flexible and can perform stunts that regular extras can't,' he said. Chung added that his team was only given one day to prepare, including costume setup and technical briefing before filming began. "For this explosion scene, we were only given a day to prepare costumes and a day to shoot. We conducted about seven rehearsals to ensure the scene went smoothly,' he said, adding that no special training was required for the shoot. Meanwhile, stunt coordinator Ali Arami said they had to turn down a "rigging" scene in the superhero film due to the lack of specialised equipment. "The equipment costs around US$120,000. We didn't think it was necessary to purchase it because the rental cost is high, which would burden local productions. If there was a government grant, that would be a different story. We could buy it and rent it out at a more affordable rate,' he said. Ali, who has nearly 20 years of experience, said discipline and professionalism were among the key reasons international productions choose local teams. "Mr Noon himself praised Asians, including Malaysians, for their strong work ethics. Even when they're exhausted, they complete tasks quickly – unlike American crews who tend to take a more 'slow and steady' approach,' he said. "Even though not all stunt performers are fluent in English, they still try hard to understand and follow instructions well. Respecting the director's orders and being easy to work with are our added values,' he said. Ali also noted that international productions emphasise clear work structures, including a 12-hour work limit per day, per diem allowances (pocket money) and on-set safety. Therefore, he hopes the local film industry will better appreciate the sacrifices and expertise of stunt actors, while also safeguarding crew welfare and safety. "Yes, we are paid to fall or take impact, but before that, we always check whether the stunt is safe. We're not Superman,' he said. – Bernama
