Perak launches new information channel

IPOH, Nov 14

The state government has launched Perak TV Digital Media Network, a new channel to disseminate information on activities by government agencies and non-governmental organisations (NGO).

Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir said to this end, 300 television sets would be installed at strategic places like government offices and restaurants.

He said the project by K-Perak Inc Corp and Simfoni Maya Sdn Bhd was not poltically motivated but aimed at improving the delivery system of all government agencies.

“We are providing the people with a new alternative to receive information on economic and social activities. The television sets will also be installed in rural areas.

“As such, the people will have a choice to receive information not fully covered by the mainstream media,” he said at the launch here today.

Zambry said the new information channel would also offer advertising space for local products at much lower cost compared to other service providers. — Bernama
