The Act was gazetted on Friday (June 13), with Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil ( pic ) signing off the gazette. The Malaysian Media Council Bill 2024, which will move the local mass media industry towards self-regulation, was passed in the Dewan Rakyat on February 26.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will attend the event as a special guest. It will also see the gathering of some 1,000 local and foreign journalists. Organised by the Communications Ministry with Bernama as the implementing agency, Hawana 2025 will feature a variety of activities. On June 3, Fahmi reportedly said that new developments regarding the Malaysian Media Council are expected to be announced during the Hawana 2025 summit.

Govt refining efforts to officially recognise PLKN 3.0 certificate
PEKAN: The government is currently refining efforts to officially recognise the National Service Training Programme (PLKN) 3.0 certificate as a benefit for trainees in gaining admission to higher learning institutions or to secure employment. Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul said the matter was discussed with the National Service Training Department director-general Major General Datuk Ya'cob Samiran. 'This is a credential that can be accepted by all parties, not just the government but also society at large. (With this certificate) we can confirm that the trainee has been exposed to a range of knowledge upon completing the PLKN training,' he said. He said this in a press conference after attending a dialogue session with PLKN trainees at the 505 Territorial Army Regiment Camp here today. Johari also said that the outcome of the discussions is expected to be announced soon. 'We are working with the Public Service Department and several other parties to ensure that the certificate we issue carries merit. Otherwise, it will be just another ordinary certificate -- we want it to have value,' he added. Meanwhile, Ya'cob said several PLKN 3.0 trainees have successfully qualified to join the Malaysian Armed Forces and will begin training in the next intake at the Basic Army Training Centre. 'If we look at the previous intake, around 60 per cent of those who participated in PLKN 3.0 chose to serve in uniformed forces, either in the regular or reserve units,' he also said.
