AT LAST we have a National Journalists’ Day, also known as Hawana, its Malay acronym. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak officiated the launch of the important day last Wednesday. It is the government’s recognition of the role played by journalists in the country.
From next year, National Journalists’ Day will be celebrated on May 29. In fact, the date marks the 1939 birth of Utusan Melayu in jawi script, published by the company of the same name, at Cecil Street, Singapore.
