Bernama CEO Mourns Cherished Mentor Fauziah's Passing

KUALA LUMPUR, May 25 (Bernama) -- The passing of veteran journalist Fauziah Rauf, 81, is not only a profound loss to the local media fraternity, but also one that is deeply mourned by Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama) Chief Executive Officer Datin Paduka Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin. Nur-ul Afida, who affectionately referred Fauziah as 'Aunty Fauziah,' described the latter as a mentor during their time together at Harian Nasional, the first Malay-language compact newspaper. 'I personally have fond memories of Aunty Fauziah. I call her Aunty Fauziah because I started my career in journalism at Harian Nasional, where she was one of the editors. 'I was assigned to the women's desk under her supervision, and that's where I began my journalism career with her guidance,' she said while representing Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil in presenting the Tabung Kasih@HAWANA contribution to Fauziah's family at the Subang Baru Mosque here today. She added that the late Fauziah was also a longtime acquaintance of her late father, Kamaludin Abdul Razak, who was the editor-in-chief of Harian Nasional. Nur-ul Afida shared that Fauziah was a mentor who offered guidance both to her and to her late brother, Kamal Huzaini, affectionately known as Huzz, when he was an entertainment journalist. 'The late Fauziah was a straightforward person who guided both me and my brother greatly. We learn a lot from our elders, they are always honest and direct. 'They taught us sincerely and their lessons continue to guide us to this day,' she said. -- BERNAMA
