‘J-Kom will boost Comms Ministry’s efforts to promote govt initiatives, combat misinformation’

Deputy minister Teo Nie Ching says initiatives like Madani Medical Scheme should be promoted more

KUCHING – The inclusion of the Community Communications Department (J-Kom) under the Communications Ministry will further strengthen the ministry’s efforts to promote government initiatives and combat misinformation.

Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching said good initiatives like the Madani Medical Scheme should be promoted more so that the public can benefit from them.

“(Under the scheme) we have provided over a million free treatments for minor ailments to patients and this is a good success story, but I believe there are still people out there who don’t know about the initiative.

“We would also like to help other ministries to promote all their good programmes and initiatives so that more and more people will be aware and benefit from it,” she told reporters after attending a meet-up session with the ministry’s department heads in Sarawak, here today.

On December 13, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said J-Kom, which was previously under the Prime Minister’s Department, has now been placed under his ministry.

Teo said efficient and effective communication is important not just to spread good new initiatives but also crucial in responding to certain issues.

She said the government needs to effectively give clarifications on misleading statements or information and should not allow certain issues to go on unattended for days.

“At the same time we must use our agencies like JaPen (the Information Department), RTM and Bernama to spread the clarifications effectively so that the issues will be addressed,” she added. – December 18, 2023
