Malam Mesra Seksyen TV RTM Kuching held at The Waterfront Hotel here on Friday.

Abdul Wahab added that RTM was also seen as a purveyor of authentic and truthful informatio­n which listeners would not doubt.

“Therefore, RTM must always stay ahead and remain relevant by disseminat­ing informatio­n and news that are current and accurate apart from airing or televising informativ­e and educative programmes,” he added.

At the function, Abdul Wahab announced a grant of RM12, 000 to RTM Sarawak for its activities.

The dinner themed ‘Cowboys and Cowgirls’ was organised by RTM Kuching TV Section and attended by Sarawak Broadcasti­ng director Salmah Ibrahim Melina, deputy director Jamel Seman, TV Section senior assistant director Jamal Abdullah among others.
