I am glad to know that the Information and Publication Relations Department (I & PRD) will be bringing out the 2015 edition of the Media Handbook.
Over the years, the Media Handbook has become a much awaited government publication. It serves as a single source for people from various walks of life to access local media contacts as well as departments and offices of the government.
