History

Formation

Bernama traces its roots to 1959 when the Malay Journalist Association on 30 March have adopted a resolution that urging the Federal Government to set up a news agency that could contribute to the "furtherance of the national interests and of understanding between Malaya and other nations". [3]

In 1962, the then-Director of Information Services, Mohamed Sopiee felt that the Malayan press "should get together and run a national news agency on a cooperative basis" and insisted that the "news in this country properly collected and sent out to other countries". [4] On 14 July the same year, the Malayan press and media practitioners decided in principle to create a news agency, which will be a "cooperative, non-profit making and independent organisation" and "promote the free flow of news within the country and true understand of Malaya abroad". [5] Sadao Roy Otake, the executive news editor of Japanese news agency, Kyodo News Agency fled to Malaya on 26 November to help in forming the national news agency. [6] [7] He said that the formation of the unnamed Malayan news agency as a non-profit organisation raising concern without the interference from the Government and demanded that Malaysia, known as Malaya at that time, needed a news agency to disseminate news to Malayan people and the rest of the world. [8] He also disclosed that the unnamed news agency of Malaya is expected to be launched by August 1963, a month prior to what would have been the formation of Malaysia. [9]

The then-Deputy Prime Minister, Abdul Razak Hussein on 5 August 1965 announced that the Federal Government agreed to set up a news agency as soon as possible, [10] revealing the Bernama name to the public. [11] In November, the then-Minister of Information and Broadcasting, Senu Abdul Rahman announced the establishment of Bernama, [12] and expected to launch in 1966, [13] or in February 1967 in the following three phases: [14]

A white paper containing a proposal to establish a news agency received approval from the Cabinet in July 1965. [15] [16] D.J. Dallas, an international news specialist from Reuters was sent by UNESCO to investigate each aspects of Bernama's establishment thoroughly. [15] [17] The upcoming news agency will be operated in two languages, Malay and English. [18] On 22 December 1966, the establishment of Bernama was approved by the Cabinet. [19] It also revealed that Bernama will incorporate a new system called teleprinter connection system which will "incorporated between its office in Kuala Lumpur and its branch in Sabah and Sarawak". [20] A bill on Bernama's establishment was tabled to the Dewan Rakyat on 19 January 1967; [21] vital changes to the bill were made when Senu move important amendments to Bernama. [22] [23] However, the bill was amended again in which the new amendment replaced the old amendment that distributed before. The new bill ensure Bernama could provide news content with "credible and accurate, without touching public, national interests and community's views". [24] The bill passed on 8 March 1967. [25] Senu said that the formation of Bernama is "not intended to blocked the press freedom", but instead to "developing news contents even more". [26] The Dewan Rakyat assured that Bernama will be an "independent, corporate body and not a government news agency". [27] [28]

Bernama was established under the Act of Parliament on 6 April 1967 and launched a day prior to what would have been 10th anniversary of Malaysia's independence, on 30 August 1967 and officiated by the then-Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tunku Abdul Rahman.
