Ancestors of Kouk - many people from Perak are descended from Kouk ancestors.
Thank you for sharing information about Datuk Akmal Hisham bin Mohd Yusof @ Mokhles. His career in journalism and public service is truly remarkable.
Datuk Akmal Hisham began his education at Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Iskandar Shah, Parit, and continued his studies at Sekolah Menengah Iskandar Shah until Form Six. After completing his secondary education, he pursued his studies at the University of Malaya and obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Social Administration in 1992.
He started as an assistant manager at the Writers Academy and underwent various media-related training and courses. Later, he joined Utusan Melayu (M) Berhad as a journalist. During his seven years of service as a journalist, Datuk Akmal won more than 20 awards and accolades in the field of journalism, including the Special Award from the Chief Editor. His success in producing exclusive news and special reports was a key factor in these achievements.
His deep interest in his career has resulted in many exclusive news stories on politics, issues important to the people, as well as the struggles of non-governmental organizations and labor unions, sometimes causing controversy.
In 2003, he introduced the Military Style section in Utusan Melayu and played a leading role in the "Demi Negara" book collection. He also served as the Press Secretary to the Minister of Defense during Datuk Najib Tun Razak's tenure, who was also the Deputy Prime Minister at that time. In September 2009, he was appointed as the Press Secretary to the Prime Minister until 2017.
The book "Demi Negara" is a collection of profiles of personalities in the Malaysian Armed Forces written by Datuk Akmal Hisham through his writings in Utusan Malaysia.
