KUALA LUMPUR: Four champions of 2026 MRSM Bintang Media each took home RM500 after winning their respective categories in journalism, news presentation and visual storytelling.

Nik Hana Damia Yazid, 15, from MRSM Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who won the New Straits Times Arts of Writing and News Journalism category, said the programme had equipped her with new skills, particularly in news writing.

"Thank you to my coach. I went from not knowing how to write news articles to feeling confident in my writing.

"I love writing, and I usually write in Malay, but here I challenged myself to write in English. Alhamdulillah, I never expected to win," she said when met after the closing ceremony of the 2026 MRSM Bintang Media programme today.
