  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR: Police and Media Prima Bhd have boosted their partnership through the PDRM-Media Prima Strategic Communication Collaboration Programme. This program aims to enhance mutual understanding and prevent the spread of false news, according to Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail. The police value the media as the \"eyes and ears\" of the community, while the police serve as the \"bulwark of the rule of law.\" Transparency and accuracy are essential in message delivery to counter modern crime and complex cyber threats. Synergy between the media and authorities is crucial, as no entity can work in isolation. During the program's closing ceremony, Ismail emphasized that police personnel can learn about the media's fast-paced world, while media friends can grasp the police's strict procedures for handling sensitive cases and public safety information. The two-day event featured interactive forums and a press conference simulation, with Media Prima Group Chairman Datuk Seri (Dr) Syed Hussian Aljunid expressing his company's commitment to empowering public safety narratives and contributing to the police's expertise in training, information dissemination, and media support.",
