Fat Bidin Sdn Bhd has almost two decades of experience creating non-fiction storytelling via multimedia platforms as well as media and communication training and consultancy.

When it comes to content creation, videos have been one of Fat Bidin specialties, where documentaries, TV and online news packages and social media videos covering all kinds of issues from politics, conflict, preventing and countering violent extremism, culture, arts and campaigns (political, governmental, social-activism) have been produced over the years. We also delve in other mediums such as audio, photography and writing.

Among the trainings and consultation that we have conducted include various workshops and lectures on media strategies on countering violent extremism narratives for agencies, media relations consultancy, crisis communication simulations and media training for non-media organisations as well as journalism training for professional journalists.
