Hey guys i was just wondering how do we get media passes to get in ?
Im an amateur photographer, so was wondering do we have to work
with big companies to get this media passes ?

First, you need to get your face familiar amongst these 'big companies', build up your network of friends, from nobodies to VIPs ... you cannot just barge into an organization and say "Can I cover this-or-that event for you?" :P
Another thing ... it is a Malaysian culture to shun 'amateurs', the mentality is that you will charge a dirt low price and then submit crappy photos. They rather go for professionals, but then again, they also want LOW price, haha...
