GEORGE TOWN: It was a big sigh of relief for a majority of media practitioners in Penang when they got their Covid-19 vaccination.
A total of 117 media practitioners out of 192 who registered got their first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech jabs yesterday.
“We consider them as frontliners too and we want to get them vaccinated as soon as possible so that they can work confidently in delivering accurate information to the people,” said Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Zahidi Zainul Abidin.
Zahidi had dropped by the Bandar Baru Ayer Itam government health clinic where the media group waited for their turn to get the jab.
KUALA LUMPUR (April 4): One hundred artworks by 80 artists commemorating Lim Kit Siang’s 80th birthday are on show at Theatre Impian, named in honour of his Malaysian Dream. The permanent display is curated by Kenny Teng and Wendy Chang of G13 Gallery.
The pieces by young and established artists capture the politician’s struggles, sacrifices and achievements over the last 55 years. They make up the visual biography of a man who has fought long, hard and tirelessly to make Malaysia better for Malaysians.
The aim is for people, especially the younger generation, to get to know Kit Siang better and “be inspired to do more and eventually take over from him”, says Damansara MP Tony Pua, who drew up the storyboard for the exhibition.
