IF you love writing, photography or videography, this is your chance to shine.
We’re looking for the most talented young Malaysians for our BRATs Raub young journalist camp (March 18-21), and this week is your last chance to apply to join it!
Due to the usual deluge of last-minute inquiries, we’re extending the deadline to Feb 22. But that’s it!
Here’s how you apply:
1. Download the application forms at rage.com.my/bratsrecruitment
2. Write an essay (we accept photo essays and short videos as well) on “Why I want to be a journalist”
3. Email the completed application forms and essay to us at brats@thestar.com.my
It’s that simple! And it’s open to all Malaysians aged 16-19.
The camp will be held at the six-star Casabrina luxury resort, where journalists from R.AGE and The Star will be giving participants workshops on writing skills, photojournalism, videojournalism and much, much more.

After you’ve attended the workshops, the journalist-facilitators will bring you out on some exciting field assignments, including a trip to the amazing Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary.
There, you will get up-close-and-personal with the elephants, helping the zookeepers with some of the elephants’ daily routines.
