KUCHING: The Kuching Division Journalists Association (KDJA) yesterday paid a courtesy call on Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg at his office at the State Legislative Assembly Building here to introduce him to the journalists and photographers who will be participating in the Mount Kinabalu Kuching Media Expedition 2019.
A total of 15 media practitioners will be participating in the expedition in July next year, and for the next coming seven months they will be undergoing various trainings to improve their physical and mental fitness.
