MIMOS proudly stepped forward as one of 113 strategic partners for Hari Wartawan Nasional (HAWANA) 2026, demonstrating its support for a progressive and resilient media industry. Deputy Group CEO and Group Chief of Staff, Puan Nurezmy A Majid, alongside Group Chief Technology Officer, Dr Zulaikha Kadim, represented MIMOS Berhad at the Strategic Partners Soft Launch Ceremony on 4 June 2026. The event was launched by the Deputy Minister of Communications, YB Teo Nie Ching.
During the soft launch, YB Teo Nie Ching expressed her deep appreciation to all strategic partners for their unwavering commitment and support in making this year’s HAWANA, now entering its sixth edition, a success. She noted that the event stands as clear proof of the ongoing synergy between the ministry and its strategic partners. Furthermore, she emphasised that organising HAWANA reflects the MADANI Government’s firm commitment to valuing and recognising the role and contributions of media practitioners in driving national development.
HAWANA is celebrated annually on 29 May to commemorate the first publication of the Utusan Melayu newspaper in 1939. The yearly event serves as a recognition of media practitioners’ contributions to shaping an informed society and driving the continuous growth of the nation’s journalism sector.
Echoing YB Teo Nie Ching’s sentiments, MIMOS continues to deeply value its relationship with Malaysian journalists, whose dedicated work ensures that the diverse voices of the nation are heard clearly. Through these ongoing connections, MIMOS aims to support an empowered media sector while driving Malaysia’s wider, long-term digitalisation goals.
