Pre-launch for HAWANA on June 3
LANGKAWI: The pre-launch ceremony for the National Journalists' Day (HAWANA) 2025 celebration will be held on June 3, said Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. He said the theme and logo for this year's celebration, held to honour media practitioners in the country, will also be unveiled during the ceremony. He added that in line with Malaysia's ASEAN Chairmanship in 2025, media organisations from across Southeast Asia will be involved in this year's HAWANA celebration. 'In conjunction with the ASEAN Chairmanship, HAWANA will not only be a national-level event but can also serve as a catalyst for stronger ties and networks between media organisations in Malaysia and those in other countries in the ASEAN region. 'This is important because in our efforts to build an ASEAN community, we cannot do without information and news from our ASEAN neighbours,' he told reporters after attending the Northern Zone Safe Internet Campaign Tour here today. Also present were Communications Ministry secretary-general Datuk Mohamad Fauzi Md Isa, Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) commission member Gen (Rtd) Tan Sri Zulkifeli Mohd Zin and Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama) chief executive officer Datin Paduka Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin. Fahmi hoped that this year's HAWANA celebration will be fully leveraged by local media practitioners to strengthen ties and cooperation among media organisations in the ASEAN region. The HAWANA 2025 celebration will be held in Kuala Lumpur in June.

RTM Langkawi Broadcasting Complex Set To Be Completed In September
LANGKAWI, May 19 (Bernama) -- The construction of the Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) Langkawi Broadcasting Complex in Kuah here is expected to be completed in September, said Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. He said that, so far, he is satisfied with the project's progress, which has reached 49 per cent, since it was taken over by a new contractor in October 2023. "Two years ago, this project was considered an ailing project. After stern action was taken together with the Public Works Department (JKR) by terminating the previous contractor and appointing a new contractor, we can see today that the progress of this project is encouraging and it is expected to be completed within the stipulated time. "(Then) several matters will be scrutinised, including the issues of internet and equipment, and most importantly the (complex's) overall structure is almost finished and only a few more issues need to be looked into. Congratulations to the Kedah JKR for being able to complete this project,' he said. He told reporters this after a working visit to the RTM Langkawi Broadcasting Complex Project here today. Also present was Communications Ministry secretary-general Datuk Mohamad Fauzi Md Isa. Fahmi also expressed confidence that the project could be completed as scheduled since several things could be done simultaneously. He added that RTM Langkawi previously rented a Tabung Haji-owned premises for about 30 years, with the rental contract renewed from time to time. It is learnt that the new complex project, costing more than RM11.4 million, also involves the construction of a building with, among others, office administration space, guard room, guest room, ICT rooms, meeting rooms, store, surau, cafeteria and parking facilities. The complex will also have broadcast engineering space like a broadcasting and radio recording studio, editing and ingest room, main control room, newsTV studio, multipurpose studio and a radio server room.
