MACC liaison officers key to strengthening public engagement
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's (MACC) communications liaison officers play a vital role in working alongside the Strategic Communications Division to deliver effective and impactful communication. The division's director, Hisyam Mohd Yusoff, said the officers are crucial intermediaries to ensure MACC's messages, delivered through mainstream and social media, are clearly understood and positively received by the public. "We hope that the appointed officers will develop their interest, showcase their talents, and contribute meaningfully to the MACC's communication efforts," he said in a statement. Earlier, Hisyam attended the closing ceremony of the Joint Management Enhancement Programme, which brought together 40 MACC liaison officers from across the country. The three-day programme, which began on July 2, focused on media management techniques and enhanced their skills in preparing news reports and feature articles. Hisyam said the division also plans to conduct writing workshops for MACC officers at the state level later this year. The programme was also guided by Malaysian National News Agency's (Bernama) Features and Current Affairs Desk assistant editor, Erda Khursyiah Basir, who shared techniques on writing effective news reports and feature articles. The training module emphasised the use of clear and concise language to ensure messages are communicated effectively. At the end of the programme, communications liaison officers shared guidelines on news writing formats and styles for internal dissemination and media publication, in line with editorial standards. – Bernama
