Unhelpful introductory sentence

The introductory line of this article, viz., "BERNAMA (from Berita Nasional Malaysia) or Malaysian National News Agency is an authorised body set up by an Act of Parliament in 1967 and started work on 26 May 1968.", says nothing about what this agency is meant to do. It is merely stated here that it is an "authorised body set up" through legislation but the logical, consequent "in order to..." section is glaringly absent. Readers unfamiliar with BERNAMA would not have a clue as to the agency's purpose or function. Please rectify. AppleJuggler 09:04, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was no move. JPG-GR (talk) 19:30, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To BERNAMA over redirect; was originally moved from that capitalization with this edit (summary: "moved BERNAMA to Bernama: It is not usually all capitalise. Only the first letter is usually capitalised.). But it is (nearly) everywhere capitalized in the article and at [1] and that seems to be the preferred form. Jfire (talk) 06:23, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. That external link has both capitalisations, both prominent. According to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization) we should prefer the existing name. Andrewa (talk) 11:49, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, WP:MOSTRADE#General rules, 3^rd rule. — 3247 (talk) 20:33, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Radio 24 broadcasts at Johor Bahru

Radio 24 really broadcasts in Johor Bahru via Gunung Pulai, via 107.5 MHz. I know because I live in Johor Bahru. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shaunkok (talk • contribs) 15:37, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
