KUALA LUMPUR: The Radio and Television Malaysia Veterans Association (PVRTM) has proposed that the Tun Abdul Razak Institute of Broadcasting and Information (IPPTAR) be used as a platform for sharing the experiences and skills of its members with new media practitioners, says Datuk Fahmi Fadzil.

The Communications Minister said the contributions and vast experience of veteran media practitioners are needed not only as a reference but also as a guide in producing new talent in the media industry, such as quality journalists, presenters and newsreaders.
