Broadening regional contacts...

A group of eight information officers – four each from Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam, got to know more about Bernama during their visit today as we broadened our regional networking.

The visit was part of their four-day familiarisation programme organized by Malaysia’s Information Department.
Just a month ago, a group of senior officers from Brunei’s Information Department visited Bernama and requested to send their editorial staff and photographers for short photo-journalism courses.
An interesting question was raised during the briefing by one of the visitors who wanted to know why Bernama send a reporter to an event when other media representatives were present.
Being the national news agency, our subscribers are varied and widespread.
An important role of Bernama that is often overlook is being the ‘bridge’ in supplying news to our subscribers in Sabah and Sarawak and vice-versa -- in the true spirit of ‘1 Malaysia’.
