KUALA LUMPUR— Malaysian and Indonesian media should be fast in combating every arising issue by providing the explanation to mitigate it, said Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
In a more casual meeting with the top leaders of the Malaysian and Indonesian Journalists Association (ISWAMI), as well as senior Indonesian media leaders in Putrajaya on Monday, Ismail Sabri also called on the Malaysian and Indonesian media to play a more strategic role to further strengthen relations between the two countries from the same ethnic family.
“Hopefully, ISWAMI, which was established in 2009, will continue to be the best platform in strengthening bilateral relations and cooperation between Malaysian and Indonesian journalists,” he said via a post on his Facebook page, Monday night.
The delegation comprising ISWAMI Malaysia president Mokhtar Hussain, ISWAMI Indonesia chief Asro Kamal Rokan, Indonesian Journalists Association general chairman Atal S Depari, Antara news director Akhmad Munir, Kumparan.com editor-in-chief Ariffin Asydhad and Jakarta Post editor-in-chief M. Taufiqurrahman.
