KUALA LUMPUR: Out of compassion and concern for a fellow journalist and as a show of solidarity in the profession, two press groups have joined forces to raise funds from friends for cancer patient Farid Jamaluddin.
The Malaysian Press Institute (MPI) and National Press Club (NPC), in collaboration with The Star, launched the Farid Jamaluddin Fund to garner financial aid for the former journalist who had previously worked with the paper as well as with the national news agency, Bernama.
