The Ministry of Health (MOH) has acknowledged the role of the media in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.
Deputy Health Minister Dr Noor Azmi Ghazali (above) said apart from explaining government policies and programmes, the role of the media was particularly important in disseminating information quickly and accurately and acting as an agency that could correct public perception.
“Media practitioners are also the frontliners, they are also at risk, they go through pain and struggle. So, MOH and I would like to say thank you for your commitment, perseverance and patience,” Noor Azmi said in his speech last night at a dinner with about 120 media practitioners from various agencies.
He added that Malaysia's success in containing the coronavirus pandemic was the effort of various parties.
