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
