It was mentioned that this activity marked the beginning of a strategic collaboration of three parties in campaigning the importance of anti-corruption values through various media platforms. Yuyuk on this occasion also emphasized the importance of synergy between various parties, from government institutions, academics and the media to strengthen anti-corruption literacy.
"The public, in this case students, have a very important role in shaping public perception. We must ensure that anti-corruption messages can be delivered widely and effectively through social media, especially in this digital era," he said.
Digital media currently has extraordinary power. He said that his party sees digital media not just as a tool, but has the power to voice action, voice the truth and also fight for integrity. "The KPK is very aware of the importance of social media, as this media is for monitoring, reporting, and collaborating with all stakeholders in efforts to eradicate corruption," explained the woman who is familiarly called Yeye.
For this collaboration, the Head of Malang City Communication and Information Office Muhammad Nur Widianto also expressed his appreciation and support. He also emphasized the importance of synergy and collaboration to increase public awareness of the importance of eradicating corruption.
"The collaboration between Diskominfo, KPK and UB Medcom is our real step in ensuring that the anti-corruption message is delivered widely and effectively.

On behalf of the Malang City Government, the Head of the Communication and Information Office expressed his gratitude for the trust given, especially to the Malang City Communication and Information Office for the collaboration that was built. "Of course, we have great hopes that this collaboration will not stop at a mere ceremonial session. We strongly believe and are convinced that literacy, education, are the keywords," he explained.
In addition, according to him, prevention is also key in eradicating corruption. "This prevention can be realized, strengthened, if literacy about the KPK, about corruption, collusion, nepotism, and everything related to corruption can be understood well. And the most important thing is the participation of all parties to realize a country free from corruption," said the man who is often called Wiwid. (cah/yon)
