1,500 pupils continue lessons via PdPR after storm damages school

1,500 pupils continue lessons via PdPR after storm damages school

KUALA LANGAT : All 1,500 pupils of Sekolah Rendah Agama Kampung Medan in Telok Panglima Garang have continued their studies through the home-based teaching and learning method. This follows severe damage to the school building caused by a storm on Wednesday. Selangor Islamic Affairs and Innovation Committee chairman Dr Mohammad Fahmi Ngah said the measure was implemented to ensure the safety of the school community. It also facilitates cleaning and repair work on the damaged school building. He confirmed that the Selangor Islamic Religious Department granted a two-week leave to students following the recent storm. However, 200 Year Five students are expected to attend school next Thursday. They are scheduled to sit for the Quran and Fardhu Ain Class Assessment Test. Mohammad Fahmi assured that suitable classes will be arranged to accommodate this examination. He visited the school today accompanied by the school management and JAIS officers. They spent nearly an hour assessing the damage and collecting information for follow-up assistance. Mohammad Fahmi noted that the surau within the school compound requires a complete rebuild. The front classrooms have sustained significant roof damage. The wiring should ideally be replaced along with the furniture to prevent any untoward incidents. The other two blocks sustained only ceiling damage. The Public Works Department will carry out a thorough inspection of the wiring system. This is necessary due to the risk of electric shocks or water leaks during rainfall. Mohammad Fahmi said JAIS has also provided 18,000 ringgit in aid through the Selangor Muslim Charity Fund. This financial support goes to the Parent-Teacher Association of SRA Kampung Medan. It will support affected students and the school’s development efforts. Halal International Selangor contributed 1,300 ringgit to each of the 13 pupils who were injured in the incident. In the 4.15 pm incident, six schools, a hall, and more than 40 houses were reportedly damaged. – Bernama

Move to boost online safety for schoolchildren

Move to boost online safety for schoolchildren

PETALING JAYA : The government is mulling a proposal to raise the minimum age for social media use from 13 to 16, with enforcement tied to official identification such as MyKad, passports or MyDigital IDs, said Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. He said the proposal, discussed by the Cabinet yesterday, is among several measures aimed at bolstering online safety and addressing issues affecting students, in line with practices in countries such as Australia and Indonesia. Fahmi said the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) would hold detailed discussions with social media companies in Singapore next week to finalise the mechanism for implementing the policy. “We agreed to send a delegation comprising not only MCMC officials but also representatives from the Commercial Crime Investigation Department, Criminal Investigation Department, other agencies and the Finance Ministry to examine recurring issues concerning these platforms and identify solutions.” He said implementation would be carried out in accordance with existing laws, including the Personal Data Protection Act, which applies to what are considered commercial transactions. “This means that all commercial transactions conducted by entities, including social media platforms and e-wallet companies, are subject to these laws.” Fahmi said further discussions would be held with Bank Negara Malaysia and other relevant agencies, taking into account the existing e-KYC (electronic know your customer) systems used by several e-wallet apps such as Touch ‘n Go and Grab, which verify users using official government documents such as the MyKad. “We will examine this aspect carefully and announce a timeline in due course. I want to emphasise that discussions with social media platforms, as decided by the Cabinet are still at the policy stage.” Fahmi added that the Cabinet also discussed a proposal to increase police presence in schools as part of joint efforts with the police to ensure a safer learning environment and strengthen student safety. He said the Education Ministry would issue guidelines for schools to conduct weekly random spot checks to maintain discipline and security among students. “A comprehensive study will also be carried out to examine the issues faced by schools, and a special task force will be established to prepare a report that will soon be presented to the Cabinet for further action.” He said the study would also consider the role of parents in addressing these challenges. Fahmi said he had also instructed MCMC to take action against social media and e-commerce platforms that allow the sale of unauthorised or counterfeit products. “The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry and the Health Ministry, through the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency, have from time to time directed MCMC to remove prohibited items, including drugs.” He stressed the need for stronger cooperation among agencies such as MCMC, police and the Home Ministry to identify products that require enforcement action. “MCMC has also been directed to study possible measures against e-commerce companies that fail to cooperate, to ensure that they comply with government directives and national laws. If these platforms fail to ensure that users are protected from online harm, action can be taken against them.”

‘Dari Puchong ke Shah Alam, Putra Perdana bawa mimpi besar’

PENGENDALI Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Putra Perdana, Puchong, Mohd Faiz Ghazali mahu anak buahnya turun ke pentas akhir Piala Datuk Mokhtar Dahari Bawah 15 Tahun (B-15) 2025 menentang SMK Meru, Klang di Stadium Matsushita Panasonic, Seksyen 21 Shah Alam pada Sabtu dengan semangat bebas tekanan dan berani mencipta sejarah sendiri.Berdepan pasukan pilihan seperti SMK Meru, Faiz mengakui ramai melihat Putra Perdana sebagai ‘underdog’, namun beliau menegaskan label itu menjadi sumber kekuatan buat pasukannya yang turut dibantu Sukri Jaafar.“Semua tekanan sebenarnya berada di pihak SMK Meru. Kami tidak ada apa-apa untuk hilang, sebaliknya segala-galanya untuk dimenangi. Itu memberi kebebasan kepada pemain untuk beraksi tanpa beban jangkaan tinggi,” katanya ketika ditemui menjelang perlawanan akhir.Faiz yang terkenal dengan pendekatan taktikal berani mendedahkan pihaknya akan menyesuaikan strategi dengan kekuatan lawan, namun kekal berpaksikan disiplin dan kecekapan bertahan.“Kami akan guna strategi tekanan tinggi di zon tengah bagi mengganggu corak hantaran SMK Meru dan memaksa mereka melakukan kesilapan atau hantaran jauh yang kurang tepat.“Pada masa sama, kami akan buat kawalan individu terhadap pemain utama mereka dan pastikan benteng pertahanan kekal kompak serta berdisiplin menutup ruang di kawasan D,” jelasnya kepada Sukan Sinar.Dalam menghadapi jadual padat sepanjang kejohanan, Faiz turut menitikberatkan aspek kecergasan dan pemulihan pemain muda kendaliannya bagi memastikan mereka berada pada tahap optimum menjelang aksi kemuncak.“Kami pastikan pemain cukup rehat, makan makanan berkhasiat, tidur awal dan lakukan proses pemulihan seperti rendaman ais selepas perlawanan. Semua ini penting supaya mereka kekal segar untuk aksi final,” katanya.Faiz juga menyanjung tiga tonggak utama pasukan Muhammad Ammar Mifza Mohd Nizar; Afif Ziqri Khairul Anuar dan Johan Imran Ridzuan yang dianggap bukan sekadar pemain penting di atas padang tetapi turut menjadi tunjang kepimpinan dan penggerak semangat rakan sepasukan.“Tiga-tiga ini memiliki disiplin yang tinggi, sikap positif dan karakter yang mantap. Mereka banyak bantu menguatkan semangat rakan sepasukan dalam situasi sukar,” tambahnya.Mengimbas perjalanan getir ke final, Faiz mengakui pasukannya telah melalui pelbagai cabaran dan detik sukar yang benar-benar menguji ketahanan mental pemain muda itu.“Bila hadapi situasi sukar, ada ketika pemain mula ‘down’ dan hilang semangat. Tapi sebagai jurulatih, saya tak boleh tunjuk lemah. Saya kena kekal bersemangat supaya mereka dapat ikut rentak saya.“Saya selalu pesan, kita berjuang bukan hanya untuk diri sendiri, tapi untuk ibu bapa, guru dan rakan-rakan. Menang kalah bukan kita tentukan, tapi usaha hingga tamat itulah yang buat orang bangga,” katanya.Menjelang 70 minit paling penting dalam karier remaja mereka setakat ini, Faiz menitipkan pesanan terakhir yang cukup mendalam buat anak buahnya.“Saya hanya pesan satu perkara – cipta sejarah kamu sendiri. Tiada apa yang mustahil kalau kita percaya dan berjuang sepenuh hati.“Turunlah ke padang dengan semangat, demi maruah, demi keluarga, rakan-rakan, guru dan semua yang kamu sayang. Berjuang sampai habis,” ujarnya.Sebagai rekod, juara edisi 2025 akan menerima RM8,000 dan medal, naib juara RM6,000 dan medal, ketiga menerima RM4,000 dan medal dan keempat RM2,000 dan medalKejohanan mendapat tajaan Permodalan Negeri Selangor Berhad (PNSB) manakala Sinar Harian sebagai akhbar rasmi.ROAD TO FINAL PIALA MOKHTAR DAHARI B-15 SMK PUTRA PERDANA, PUCHONGKUMPULAN DSMK Putra Perdana 0 - 1 SMK Bandar Tun Hussein Onn ( 2 )SMK Putra Perdana 2 - 0 SMK Kota KemuningSMK Putra Perdana 2 - 0 SMK TTDI Jaya* Putra Perdana mara dengan status Juara Kumpulan DPUSINGAN 16SMK Putra Perdana 1 - 1 SMK Kuala Kubu Bahru* SMK Putra Perdana menang penalti 3 - 0SUKU AKHIRSMK Putra Perdana 0 - 0 SMK Bandar Baru Bangi* SMK Putra Perdana menang penalti 3 - 2SEPARUH AKHIRSMK Putra Perdana 2 - 1 SMK Taman Melawati

Plan to ban smartphone use by students under 16

Plan to ban smartphone use by students under 16

PUTRAJAYA : The government is considering a ban on the use of smartphones by students aged 16 and below as part of sweeping measures to address the rising tide of bullying and violent behaviour in schools. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the proposal, discussed by the Cabinet, is aimed at reducing the negative influence of social media and online games that can shape behaviour and even lead to criminal acts. “We’ve seen how social media and online games can influence behaviour, sometimes even leading to criminal acts. “So, we will move towards prohibiting the use of smartphones among students aged 16 and below. The proposal is still being studied but many countries have already implemented similar measures,” he said after performing Friday prayers at Surau Jannatul Firdaus at the PPAM Seruling Malaysia Civil Servants Housing area. Anwar said the smartphone ban is among three immediate measures proposed by the Cabinet to strengthen school safety and student wellbeing. He said another key focus would be on reinforcing value-based and moral education, with the active involvement of parents, teachers and parent-teacher associations. “Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek will provide further details. I hope principals, teachers and parents would give their full cooperation.” Anwar cautioned school administrators and principals against concealing bullying or disciplinary cases to protect the image of their institutions, warning that such acts amount to covering up wrongdoing. “Often, headmasters prioritise protecting the school image. While students are fighting and causing trouble, they are more concerned about how the school looks. “When cases arise, some hide them, supposedly to preserve the school’s good name. But protecting the perpetrators is a crime, akin to covering up wrongdoing.” He said such attitudes not only obstruct justice but also send a dangerous message to students that misconduct can be overlooked in the name of institutional pride. “If such cases are covered up, it should be considered an offence as they are essentially protecting criminal activity. “Sometimes, they think bullying cases are minor. I’ve heard this myself when meeting students during Friday prayers. They say the bullying isn’t serious, so it’s brushed off. “But small cases, if ignored, will eventually lead to bigger ones.” Anwar stressed that his remarks were not meant to assign blame but to raise collective awareness about school discipline. “This is not about accusing anyone. It’s about raising shared awareness that even small acts of indiscipline must not be tolerated.”
