Bernama, MYTV Bring Digital Media Closer To Public At Kembara Riuh Pesta Itu-Ini
Bernama Corporate Affairs Division Branding Assistant Manager Suherman Anuar said the partnership was aimed at promoting both agencies' digital applications – the Bernama app and the MYTV Mana-Mana app – to the local community, while also introducing the Bernama TV channel available on the MYTV platform.
'This is the first time Bernama is taking part in the Kembara RIUH Pesta Itu-Ini in Kota Bharu, and we view it as a valuable opportunity to bring our news platform and digital broadcasts closer to the public,' he said when met at the event today.
Suherman said MYTV is a free digital television broadcasting platform supervised by the Ministry of Communications and monitored by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) as part of the analogue-to-digital broadcast transition initiative, which began in 2018.
He said the collaboration was not limited to the event and had the potential to be expanded through various educational and media awareness activities in the future.
Meanwhile, MYTV Broadcasting Sdn Bhd marketing officer Muhammad Afiq Firdaus Radzlan said the collaboration with Bernama had opened up opportunities for both parties to plan and execute promotional activities more effectively.
'Our main objective is to reach out to consumers and introduce MYTV's free broadcasting services as well as available content such as Bernama TV and Bernama Radio,' he said.
The event featured numerous interactive activities for visitors, including quizzes, trivia games and lucky draws offering prizes such as a free MYTV decoder set.
One of the main crowd-pullers was the live news reading session at Bernama's mini studio, which attracted participants of all ages keen to try their hand at news presenting.

Gobind: 13MP Highlights Technology, AI To Boost Malaysia's Digital Transformation
GENERAL KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 13 (Bernama) -- The 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) clearly emphasises technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), in line with the government's push to accelerate the country's digital transformation, said Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo. He said one of the key priorities highlighted by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is the development of the AI Nation Framework, which aims to fully leverage the country's 5G network to create digital solutions, including smart city initiatives using existing data. 'The 13MP also emphasises 'data commission'. The Prime Minister has made it clear that the concept of a data bank is closely linked to digital trust, among other related areas. 'These are steps that we see as supporting the aspiration to achieve AI nation status in the near future,' Gobind told reporters after launching the 5G Enterprise and AI City Grant today. He said this initiative will be featured at the upcoming Smart City Expo Kuala Lumpur 2025 (SCEKL25), scheduled for Sept 17–19, which will serve as a platform to showcase Malaysia's smart city transformation and foster collaboration among city leaders, innovators, and digital solution providers. Leveraging world-class 5G connectivity, the minister said Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB) and the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) have been tasked with leading the AI Cities initiative, which builds upon and complements the Smart Cities programme under the Ministry of Housing and Local Government. 'I hope these efforts have — and will continue to — lay the groundwork for real, actionable innovation. By aligning strategic leadership with on-the-ground execution, we have seen how national initiatives can translate into meaningful local impact. 'The grants awarded today are a direct outcome of this alignment — where policy meets purpose, and vision meets implementation,' the minister said. The grant was awarded to 14 recipients, comprising universities, companies, and local authorities.
