The company shared various images on its official Facebook page, where Xiaomi officials can be seen giving out the large 20,000mAh powerbanks in large boxes to the reporters standing outside. And in a thoughtful manner, the company even shared a small note alongside it. The note said that “You cover the news, we got you covered! From Xiaomi Malaysia.”

This move was highly applauded on social media and the reporters themselves. The media reporters arrived with smartphones (with some exclusively relying on it) and other photography tools, which can run out of battery after continuous use. Thus, the massive capacity on the powerbank would ensure no one faces inconveniences during their working hours on the field.
The Xiaomi Malaysia officials wore orange Tshirts and can be seen walking around with large boxes filled with the powerbanks. They handed out the gadget for free. This has been seen as a sense of aiding position from Xiaomi as the reporters in the country have been facing troubles due to the ongoing political crisis that has gripped the region.
What do you think about this occurrence? Is it just a publicity stunt or genuine concern shown by Xiaomi? Maybe a bit of both? Let us know in the comments section down below.
