HAWANA forum key to strengthening journalism
KOTA KINABALU: The forum in conjunction with the highlight of the National Journalists' Day (HAWANA) 2025 celebration on June 14 must serve as a platform for the media industry to uphold and strengthen the institution of journalism amid the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), says Utusan Borneo Sabah Editor-in-Chief Datuk Lichong Angkui. He said this was crucial to avoid irresponsible parties from manipulating the sophistication of AI in ways that could undermine journalistic values and ethics. 'This special forum should serve as the best platform for all media industry players in the country to unify their voices in elevating the institution of journalism. We must be vigilant of AI manipulation while remaining united in defending journalism. 'The media forum is the best avenue for industry players, stakeholders and interested parties to discuss current trends in the world of journalism and, at the same time, seek solutions to AI manipulation, which is becoming increasingly widespread,' he said in a statement today. Yesterday, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil announced the theme of HAWANA 2025, namely 'Journalism in the New Era: Embracing AI, Safeguarding Ethics,' and also unveiled the HAWANA 2025 logo at Wisma Bernama. The HAWANA 2025 celebration will be held at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTC KL) from June 13 to 15, with the highlight of the event taking place on June 14, to be officiated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Lichong, who is also a governing council member of Ikatan Setiakawan Wartawan Malaysia-Indonesia (ISWAMI), said technological advancements and the internet had certainly helped the media industry by speeding up the delivery of news and information among organisations traditionally competing to break the news first. However, he said such competition could potentially lead to widespread dissemination of fake news, especially if AI is manipulated by irresponsible parties, and therefore, vigilance and proactive fact-checking should be strengthened to ensure the authenticity of news and information delivered to the public. He said it had become common for netizens to share viral news and information without verifying the source or authenticity, which is where the media played a critical role in ensuring every piece of content presented was accurate and trustworthy, thus elevating the integrity of journalism. Meanwhile, Lichong said the HAWANA 2025 theme was appropriate for journalism in the modern era, where AI technology had become essential for the industry. 'This theme clearly emphasises the importance of balancing AI sophistication with journalistic ethics,' he said, adding that responsible and trustworthy journalism was a vital asset in the development of the nation.

Indonesian jailed for Bali bombing starts coffee business
Umar Patek was released on parole in 2022 and has apologised to the victims of the Bali nightclub bombings. (Reuters pic) SURABAYA : An Indonesian convicted in the deadly 2002 Bali nightclub bombings has launched his own coffee business after being released on parole, and has said he will use some of the earnings to help survivors of the attacks. Umar Patek, a member of the Al-Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiyah group, was jailed for 20 years in 2012 after he was found guilty of making bombs that ripped through two Bali nightclubs, killing 202 people, including 88 Australians and 38 Indonesians. He was released on parole in 2022 and has apologised to the victims. Patek's release sparked anger in Australia and Indonesia. At the launch of the coffee business yesterday, a banner with Patek's face festooned a cafe in the Indonesian city of Surabaya on Java island. It is owned by dentist David Andreasmito and will use the beans Patek supplies and roasts. 'I was still shell-shocked by the outside world,' Patek said, adding he had trouble finding work after his release and was worried his image would affect the business. 'The stigma of a former terrorism convict made it hard for me to find work,' he said. Patek said he understood that many people were still angry with him but pleaded to them 'not to let that doubt stick', adding he would give portions of his earnings to survivors. David said he went into business with Patek because he had apologised and wanted people to give him a second chance. Since Patek's release, Indonesian authorities have highlighted him as an example of the deradicalisation efforts launched by the world's most populous Muslim-majority country to counter a resurgence in Islamic militancy. Chusnul Chotimah, a survivor of the Bali attacks who is covered in burn scars and says she struggles to pay for life-saving treatments, jostled in front of the crowd to speak to Patek at the launch. 'I used to have grudges against you,' she said. 'I forgive you for what you did. I know you've changed for the better,' she added. Chusnul later said she hoped Patek could help out the survivors. 'Don't just say sorry,' she said. Tumini, another survivor, said in Bali's capital Denpasar that she is still struggling to pay for her treatment and that government aid should be prioritised for victims still in recovery.
