Bernama CEO Presents Tabung Kasih@HAWANA Contribution To Fauziah Rauf's Family
KUALA LUMPUR, May 25 (Bernama) -- Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama) chief executive officer Datin Paduka Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin, today presented a Tabung Kasih@HAWANA contribution to the family of veteran journalist, the late Fauziah Rauf, at Masjid Selayang Baru. Representing Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil, Nur-ul Afida handed the contribution to Fauziah's eldest daughter, Nilly Wahida Omar Sudi, 54. Fauziah passed away at Selayang Hospital at about 1 am today due to a brain hemorrhage. The RM2,000 assistance marks the second given to the late journalist, following an initial one in 2023. Nur-ul Afida noted that the first donation was provided under Bernama's allocation before Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim approved a RM1 million fund in conjunction with HAWANA 2023. Tabung Kasih@HAWANA was established during the 2023 National Journalists' Day (HAWANA) celebrations as an initiative to support ailing or financially constrained members of the media. The fund is a Communications Ministry initiative administered by Bernama as part of ongoing efforts to assist and honour media professionals, both active and retired. -- BERNAMA
