Journalism ethics manual to launch after Chinese New Year: Fahmi

Communications Ministry will coordinate the launch with the Department of Information

PUTRAJAYA – The Communications Ministry will launch a journalism ethics manual this month to clarify several aspects, including news verification.

Its minister Fahmi Fadzil said a meeting was held with the Department of Information to coordinate the launch.

“We expect to find a suitable date to launch the manual after the Chinese New Year.  InsyaAllah, closer to the date and after a bit more research, we will share more of its content,” he told reporters after monthly gathering at the ministry Tuesday.

Asked about the registration of the Central Database Hub (Padu) among the Communications Ministry’s staff, Fahmi said it was more encouraging than before.

“For some civil servants who may be the heads of household, the registration process for the family members (may take time)… but the first step is registration,” he said.

On January 2, the government launched the country’s primary database that is secured and comprehensive, driving towards digitalisation and accurate analytics generation.

Malaysians aged 18 and above are encouraged to register and update their information in the system (https://www.padu.gov.my) to ensure eligible citizens do not miss out on targeted subsidies, assistance, and social protection. – Scoop/Bernama
