KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 27 (Bernama) -- The Indonesian embassy will take proactive action to get closer to the Malaysian media which would lead to closer relations between Malaysia and Indonesia.
The Indonesian acting ambassador to Malaysia, Tatang B. Razak, said the embassy planned to meet with media practitioners in Malaysia as soon as possible.
"We will contact the Malaysian media next week to set appointments for the meetings," he told the media after the launch of the new service by Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd and Bank Muamalat Indonesia, here today.
"InsyAllah, I will visit the newspaper offices in Malaysia in the near future. We will have `heart to heart' discussions," he said.
Tatang said the Indonesian embassy also planned to organise a dialogue between the Malaysian and Indonesian media next year.
The acting ambassador also planned to meet with the Malaysian authorities such as the Immigration Department and the police.
The move by the Indonesian embassy was perceived as an effort by Indonesia to improve ties between the two countries following the misunderstanding arising from several issues such as the song "Rasa Sayange" raised by the Indonesian media and the issue over Indonesian illegal immigrants raised by the Malaysian media.
He said it was time to look at the Malaysia-Indonesia relations realistically and sincerely so that greater benefits could be derived by both countries.
