New platform for people to voice their grouses
PETALING JAYA: Klang Valley folk will be able to voice their grouses and broadcast them nationwide, thanks to a multimedia platform launched by The Star.
“The Star People’s Voice – You’ve Got the Power” campaign allows the people to directly engage with local councils and agencies at mini carnivals that will be organised twice a month over the next 12 months at selected residential areas.
The mini carnivals will see various activities such as forums with the local authorities and outdoor broadcasts by RedFM.
“This campaign will also help to foster better relationships among neighbours,” Star Publications (M) Bhd executive director and group chief editor Datuk Seri Wong Chun Wai said at launch of the campaign by Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Seri Ahmad Fuad Ismail at Menara Star here yesterday.
Ng, ACP Arjunaidi, Red FM chief operating officer Lim Cheng Hee, Wong and Ahmad Fuad unveiling the ‘People’s Voice’ cruiser at the Menara Star in Petaling Jaya yesterday.
The first carnival will be held on May 9 at Bandar Utama.
The People’s Voice cruisers will be present at the carnivals and will visit Klang Valley residential areas at least twice a day.
The Star is pledging RM1mil, which will be channelled to residents’ associations for the benefit of the community.
Its circulation department will be promoting special subscription packages to meet this pledge.
Wong said The Star had always been concerned with the needs of the community.

“We would not be where we are today without the support of the people.
“As an integrated news organisation, The Star and its subsidiary RedFM will be providing various channels for the six million residents in the Klang Valley,” he added.
StarMetro will be dedicating a page every Tuesday, while Face-book and Twitter accounts have been set up for the people to give feedback.
Also present at the launch were Star Publications executive director Ng Beng Lye and Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Arjunaidi Mohd.
