LABUAN MEDIA PRACTITIONERS TO HOST FOUR MAJOR EVENTS THIS YEAR

LABUAN, Jan 22 (Bernama) -- The Labuan Media Practitioner Association has lined up four major events this year, including the return of its flagship Media Night programme after a four-year hiatus.

In a statement to Bernama today, the association said the Media Night, scheduled to be held in April, would serve as a platform to accord appreciation to business chambers, non-governmental organisations, government agencies and the corporate sector for their support and cooperation with the local media fraternity.

The other planned events include the Labuan Geopark Exploration, the Evergreen Singing Competition, and the Labuan Media Golf Tournament.

The programmes are aimed, among others, at raising funds for charitable initiatives and supporting tour-related projects for Labuan media practitioners this year.

According to the statement, the Labuan Geopark Exploration will be organised in collaboration with the Department of Federal Territories and Labuan Corporation, while the Evergreen Singing Competition will be held jointly with Financial Park (Labuan) Sdn Bhd.

The Labuan Media Golf Tournament, meanwhile, will be organised in collaboration with the Labuan International Golf Club.

In addition to these four major events, the association said it will also carry out several corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes this year, including a gotong-royong at Masjid An-Nur Labuan and a beach-cleaning initiative.

The association said the planned activities reflect its ongoing commitment not only to strengthening ties among media practitioners but also to contributing positively to the local community and promoting environmental sustainability on the island.
