KUCHING: KKB Engineering Bhd (KKB) has handed over a financial donation to the Kuching Division Journalists Association (KDJA) to support the welfare of the media practitioners here.
KDJA president Ronnie Teo when expressing his appreciation to KKB, hoped that the community would also continue to support the media in their efforts to deliver accurate and timely news to the public
He said there were several events and activities planned for the media this year, including the annual hike up to the summit of Mount Kinabalu.
“Apart from that, we are planning our inaugural media trip to Indonesia ahead of the country’s capital move to Nusantara, and not forgetting the Kenyalang Journalism Awards,” he said.
Teo was speaking at the KKB’s Hari Raya Open House and Labour Day celebrations held at KKB’s Muara Tebas premises on Friday night.
“All these events serve to ensure that the media continues to challenge themselves to be better, not just professionally, but also mentally and physically,” he added.
During the dinner, KKB group managing director William Kho Pok Tong thanked KKB staff for their hard work to date.
This, he said, could be seen in its order book reaching approximately RM762 million as of the end of March 2023, with works to be fulfilled over the next two years.
“For KKB Group and its leadership team, let us not take for granted the success of its past.
“Let’s work harder towards the future and continue to participate in our state’s nation building and our journey ahead,” he said.
