SEREMBAN – The Communications and Digital Ministry will soon announce good news for media practitioners registered with the Information department, said its minister Fahmi Fadzil.

He said previously, the Rahmah Postpaid Incentive, which provides a RM10 rebate, was only offered to civil servants.

The ministry is now working on extending the initiative to media practitioners.
