We were honoured to have the CEO of SAJ Holdings, Encik Abdul Wahab, Mr Koh Boon Sian , the CEO of Ranhill Water Technologies and Mr Yap who is the CEO of Ranhill Bersekutu Sdn Bhd as participants for the workshop.
The main objective of this one day workshop was to expose the participants to the strategies of media relations. ‘What is News’, ‘Media Relations 101’, ‘Press Release Writing’, ‘Crisis Communications’ and ‘Press Conference Tools and Techniques’ were the main topics discussed during the workshop. The participants came from diverse backgrounds. Some of the participants included business development managers and the operations team.

Nevertheless, the participants had broad smiles as they walked out of the door after the nine hours of learning experience.
