She said that the contest contributes to the development of the growing local Tamil literacy ecosystem. The contest was organised by Minnal FM and Malaysian Tamil Writers Association.

“Selected works will be translated into other languages in collaboration with Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka, enabling these stories to reach a wider, multi-ethnic and multilingual audience”, she said during the prize presentation ceremony.

Also present were National FM Manager and representative of the director of the Radio Programme Division at the Department of Broadcasting Malaysia, Salbiah Mohd Sharif, Minnal FM manager S.Rohiny and Malaysian Tamil Writers Association chairman P.Mohanan.
