MEDIA practitioners and politicians are just like a family and need to cooperate with one another to reach out to the people, says Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow.

“Whether we’re politicians or journalists, we must help each other in carrying out our responsibility to the readers, voters and the country,” Chow said in his speech at the first ever Penang DAP Media Appreciation Night at Hotel Royale Chulan in Weld Quay tonight.
