National Month Launch: Bernama Booth Draws Crowd With Hands-on News Anchor Experience
MUAR, July 26 (Bernama) -- Visitors to the Kita MADANI Carnival at Dataran Tanjung Emas here had the opportunity to experience what it's like to be a newsreader, through an interactive activity conducted by the Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama). Carnival-goers got to experience reading independence-themed news on camera using a real teleprompter at the Ministry of Communications booth at the event held in conjunction with the launch of the National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang 2025 campaign. Hana Fadiya Husni, 23, a final-year public relations student at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), said her first experience reading the news in public was more difficult than she had imagined. 'It looks easy on TV, but it's actually quite challenging and a bit nerve-wracking. I stumbled a few times because I was nervous, but overall, it was a fun experience. I'd love to try again if given the chance, perhaps in the sports segment,' she told Bernama when met at the programme today. Meanwhile, 11-year-old Alyssa Ooi Geok Seng, who had a keen interest in broadcasting, said she was thrilled to get the chance to try reading the news on camera. 'This is my first time reading the news with a prompter…I was a little nervous, but happy that I could try using proper intonation and presenting style, like a real newsreader. If given another chance, I want to improve,' said the Year Five student, who aspires to be a journalist in the future. The Kita MADANI Carnival is one of the side events held in conjunction with the launch of the National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang 2025 campaign, which will be officiated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim tomorrow. Also lined up is the Bakti Komuniti MADANI programme on July 26 at Taman Tun Sulaiman Ninam Shah, along with the Merdeka 6.8KM Fun Run & Walk and the flag-off of the 2025 Merdeka Jalur Gemilang Expedition Convoy at the same venue tomorrow. --BERNAMA

Free Haircuts, Oil Change Services Draw Crowds At Bakti Komuniti MADANI Programme
Free haircuts and oil change services were among the main crowd-pullers at the Bakti Komuniti MADANI programme here, held ahead of the 2025 National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang Campaign launch tomorrow. MUAR, July 26 (Bernama) -- Free haircuts and oil change services were among the main crowd-pullers at the Bakti Komuniti MADANI programme here, held ahead of the 2025 National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang Campaign launch tomorrow. Ulo Barber owner Mohd Hilmi Hassan, 47, from Parit Jawa said he and his four workers were very busy as many people came for haircuts since the service started at 10 am. 'By 12.15 pm, we had already served over 60 people of different ages. We thought we would wrap up at noon, but had to extend the time because many were still waiting,' he told Bernama at the event held at Taman Tun Sulaiman Ninam Shah. Kampung Simpang Baba village chief Hussin Limat, 65, said the long wait was worth it, as the free haircut saved money and brought people together. 'I waited almost an hour because of the queue, but I think this is a very good programme. Even though it seems simple, it gives real benefits to the community,' he said. Mohd Muizzudin Mohd Nordin, 15, a student at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama Maahad Muar, said he arrived as early as 8 am after learning about the free haircut service through a WhatsApp group. 'This free service really helps, especially for students like me. At a regular barber shop, it would cost around RM10 to RM20, so I didn't want to miss the chance. It's a great way to save and be presentable in time for National Month,' he said. Meanwhile, GiatMARA Bakri manager Affandi Abdul Rahim said all 60 bottles of engine oil allocated for the free oil change service were used up within two hours. He said the service was carried out by eight GiatMARA trainees and attracted visitors of various races from across Muar.

Mahani Mohamad Saleh, 44, a kuih seller and an aid recipient, expressed her gratitude to the MADANI Government for its concern and willingness to reach out to the village community. "Alhamdulillah, thank you to the minister and the Kampung Kuah Village Committee for coming to my house to deliver food and financial aid to our family. "I sell kuih to support my family and earn a little money. I am very grateful that the minister came to deliver the assistance. I will save the money and buy necessities when needed," the mother of five told Bernama. Noorlizarina Saad, 34, expressed her gratitude to the MADANI Government for assisting her mother, Hamidah Saad, 73, who has a hearing impairment. "We are grateful to receive a food box from the minister. Our family is thankful for this assistance and the minister's visit," said the homemaker. According to the Information Department, the Bakti Komuniti MADANI programme is a new initiative designed to promote volunteerism by encouraging community participation in activities such as gotong royong, communal feasts, traditional games, and spiritual programmes. The department said that through the programme, the Communications Minister reached out to the asnaf (tithe recipients) group, distributed essential items and school supplies, and participated in a gotong royong to clean up Surau Al-Mursyidin in the village. As part of the programme, Fahmi also visited Ilham Ceramics Studio, owned by MADANI Community member Mohamad Radzi Ismail, where he observed a ceramic-making demonstration and tried the activity himself.
