Jabatan Penerangan Malaysia: Connecting Information and Public Engagement
In 1950, the Department of Public Relations was formally renamed the Department of Information to better reflect its role as the government’s official spokesperson for informing the public about the nation’s philosophy, policies, and vision.
The Department’s responsibilities have become increasingly challenging due to the world’s rapid borderless development, requiring a transformation of its services to ensure that Engagement, Outreach, Big Data Analytics and Advocacy can be efficiently implemented through digital technology and in-person interactions.

IPRM Student Association (IPRMSA)
Chapter Establishment
Affiliated with IPRM, the IPRMSA was established in 1999 with the aim of providing a platform for public relations students to network, learn, and develop their skills. The Student Chapter organised its first annual conference in 2011, attracting students from across the country.
It has then launched a mentorship program, pairing students with experienced public relations practitioners to provide guidance and support. The IPRM Student Chapter has played a significant role in promoting public relations education and professional development among students in Malaysia. The chapter continues to be a vibrant and active community, providing valuable opportunities for students to learn, grow, and succeed in their careers.
As of now, IPRMSA has 20 chapters with members comprising public and private institutions of higher learning.
