Bernama’s chief executive officer, Datin Paduka Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin, and editor-in-chief, Arul Rajoo Durar Raj, along with agency staff, will take part in the CSR event to foster closer ties with the local community.

Kampung Batu Laut was officially launched as Bernama’s adopted village on Oct 12, 2024, by Deputy Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Aiman Athirah Sabu, who is also the Sepang Member of Parliament

The Santuni MADANI: One Leader, One Village programme is the brainchild of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and was announced in May 2024.

One of its main objectives is to facilitate direct monitoring and engagement with the local community to identify socio-economic issues and the needs of residents in villages selected by government leaders.

Last year, Dataran Putrajaya and Bazaria Lembah Pantai were among the locations for Bernama’s Ramadan CSR programme, which was graced by the presence of Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil.
