Sabah Information Director Jainisah Mohd Noor stated that the launch of KMJG 2025, organized by the Sabah Department of Information (JAPEN), will be officiated by the Sabah Chief Minister. The convoy aims to engage communities directly in this year's National Day and Sabah Day celebrations. 'The KMJG 2025 launch will take place on Friday, August 1 2, starting at 7:30am at the Kota Kinabalu Community Hall. Twenty vehicles and 60 participants from various departments and strategic partner agencies will join the convoy,' she said after an interview session for the 'Kami Bah Ini' (KBI) program at RTM TV Studio on Monday. 'This year's convoy emphasizes the special theme 'Malaysia MADANI: Caring for the People,' with program content focused on serving communities through direct agency services, community activities, skills workshops, and strategic multi-stakeholder involvement. KMJG 2025 features engaging activities such as the People's Feast, MADANI Spirit, Info Busking, National Day Mural Painting, Wayang Pacak (street screenings), and skills workshops – all highlighting inclusivity and public participation,' she added. Jainisah also announced that convoy participants will continue the '1 House 1 Jalur Gemilang' (1 House 1 Malaysian Flag) initiative, encouraging all citizens to fly the national flag at homes, offices, government buildings, private vehicles, and government premises. The initiative targets seven key clusters: education, higher education, health, security, community, industry, and government agencies. 'It is hoped that local communities will respond to this call by hoisting the Jalur Gemilang as a symbol of patriotic spirit and love for the country,' she explained. The public can obtain further details about KMJG 2025 through official channels, including the portal live Facebook and TikTok broadcasts, and media coverage by RTM, Bernama, and other local outlets. JAPEN Sabah will also provide daily live updates on social media. Jainisah expressed hope that Sabahans would jointly ignite the spirit of patriotism by flying the Jalur Gemilang and participating in KMJG 2025 activities. Meanwhile, Kota Kinabalu Mayor Datuk Sri Dr Sabin Samitah said the number of contingents for the National Day parade will be limited to prevent it from taking too long. 'Last year, it was observed that several contingents represented similar activities or groups, leading to some public complaints as they were not pleased with that situation,' he explained in an interview by SabahVFM.

Sabah Information Department staff reminded on news values
Published on: Saturday, June 28, 2025 Published on: Sat, Jun 28, 2025 Text Size: Jainisah (seated front left) with Diana (seated right) and course participants. Kota Kinabalu: Sabah Information Department (Japen) staff are urged to consistently uphold ethical standards and act responsibly in disseminating information. Its Director Jainisah Mohd Noor said every member must ensure that any information shared with the public is accurate, ethical and does not touch on racial, religious or royal institution sensitivities, in line with efforts to maintain national harmony and unity. 'In today's increasingly challenging communication landscape, mastery of mobile journalism (Mojo) must be balanced with a deep understanding of ethical standards and relevant laws. 'Mojo is now a trend and anyone can become a news sharer, whether through short videos, photos or social media posts. 'However, not everyone understands the great responsibility that comes with this convenience. We must not chase virality at the expense of truth and accountability,' she said when officiating the Basic Journalism Ethics in Mobile Journalism (Mojo) course closing ceremony at the Communication Ministry's Integrated Complex here Tuesday. The one-day course, organised by Japen Sabah's Media and Corporate Communication Division (MKK), involved 30 participants. It focused on producing news, media statements and quality images, while strengthening values such as integrity, social sensitivity and legal awareness – particularly regarding key laws such as the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, Sedition Act 1948, Defamation Act 1957, Official Secrets Act 1972 and the Child Act 2001. Jainisah said although technologies such as smartphones and artificial intelligence (AI) applications offer extraordinary ease in producing media content, they also carry the risk of misuse if not accompanied by self-regulation and legal awareness. 'As civil servants, we cannot recklessly disseminate information, especially on sensitive issues. 'One misstep could lead to serious legal consequences, including life imprisonment under the Official Secrets Act 1972,' she stressed. She also reminded participants to comply with the provisions of the Child Act 2001 and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which Malaysia has ratified since 1995. Jainisah encouraged her team to use social media positively, turning digital platforms into channels for spreading good values and strengthening unity among Sabah's multi-ethnic communities in particular, and across Malaysia more broadly. Also present were Japen Sabah's MKK Division Senior Assistant Director Dr Diana Dominic and Siti Mariam Datuk Aziz, Senior Assistant Director of the Protocol Division. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
