He said the koperasi media (komedia) or media cooperative set up by Kawat, which had more than 100 registered members, was the first of such.

"It's time for journalists to have their own cooperatives in line with the media themselves always stressing on the importance of the cooperative movement," he said, here, today.

He said a cooperative could give a lot of benefits to its members, while the CCM wanted more cooperatives to be established to add to the 10,000 already in operation.

Kawat president said the idea of setting up the komedia came from the members themselves who wanted the club to engage in business in order to raise funds for its activities and for other benefits.

He said so far, 111 of Kawat's 136 members had joined the komedia, the certificate of registration of which was received from CCM yesterday.

For a start, the komedia will act as a media consultant and engage in event management for any party keen to hold activities.
