The celebration of HAWANA 2023, which is the third time that it has been organized, will take place in Ipoh, Perak from 27 to 29 May with the theme ‘Free Media, Pillar of Democracy’ with renewed emphasis on the issue of media freedom in carrying out its duties.
The celebration will be filled with various activities such as a media forum involving journalists from ASEAN countries, a mini carnival and a treasure hunt competition.
The HAWANA 2023 Summit will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on 28 May.
Muhammad Razman said the contribution of media practitioners is important to support the aspirations of KPKT in all efforts to improve the well-being of the people and the sustainability of the city.
“Their role in delivering accurate and true information is very important to ensure that all government information and policies can be delivered to the people, especially in the rural areas,” he said KPKT always appreciates the services of journalists.
