'Selamat Hari Raya, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri...' (Playing Hari Raya song everywhere)
Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all my Muslim friends and colleagues. I wish all of you a great year ahead and stay healthy and young always! Hope my wishes are not too late. :)
Pustaka Negeri Sarawak, Miri has organized Aidilfitri Open House (Majlis Ramah Tamah Aidilfitri) this year. I am glad that I have the chance to celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri together with the CEO of Pustaka Negeri Sarawak who is Puan Hajah Rashidah Haji Bolhassan.
So back to the day of the event, it was started from 7.30PM to 11PM. There were around 200 guests which included the staff of Pustaka Negeri Sarawak, Miri, the Friends of Library (FOL), and the smart partners who have worked together with Pustaka in organizing many activities throughout the years. Besides, the orphans from Hamidah Welfare Complex Miri also been invited to participate in this event.
I have been assigned few tasks for the day:
- Distribute the speeches for the reporters to publish a media release the next day.
- Prepare a media release to be send out to the media outlets.
- Be the PHOTOGRAPHER of the day! Take a lot of nice photographs.
Now, let me share some photographs with you guys! :)

Own Reflection & Advice to all the Interns:
As I mentioned earlier, I would need to write a media release about the event to be published on the newspaper the next day. I have learnt the techniques of writing a media release when I took PR Techniques this unit. I found that the format that I have learnt in the university is different with the format that used by Pustaka. This enable me to learn more formats which might be useful for my career in the future. Besides, I would like to thanks to my supervisor for guiding me on writing the media release and taught me the format and the font that usually used by Pustaka. An advice to all my intern friends, every organisation has different formats on writing the media release, so as a PR Practitioner, we need to be aware of the styles and formats that used by the company.
Another thing I would like to share is that on the next day, my supervisor asked me "which media outlets attended the event last night?" I was glad that I have note down which media outlet attended the event and got to know their names throughout my conversation with them. Therefore, I answered my supervisor "The Borneo Post attended and the reporter was XXXX."
My last advice to all the Interns, as a PR Practitioner, we should be getting to know all the details of the things that we do. Imagine that if your boss ask you something and you answer him/her in a way that can make him/her impress of you. Why not we do that? Am I right?
