Seremban, December 20, 2019 (Korporat SUKNS) - The Negeri Sembilan state government hopes more parties will participate in the Erat@NS Initiative programme, announced in its 2020 Budget recently.

State Unity, Information and National Integration Committee chairman Choo Ken Hwa said the initiative was aimed to further foster unity among the people in the state.

"It is hoped that we can engage the Neighbourhood Watch (RT) members to help organise programmes that involve various races in their respective areas,” he told reporters after an event with the state's media practitioners organised by the Negeri Sembilan Information Department at Klana Resort, Seremban.

Meanwhile, the event with the state's media practitioners could foster the relationship between media and government departments. Media practitioners play a crucial role in disseminating important information and government policies to the public.

About 40 media practitioners attended the event.
