TAWAU: A total of 1,298 primary and secondary schools in Sabah will participate in the Internet Safety Campaign (Kempen Internet Selamat, KIS), an initiative by the Ministry of Communications through the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).

'The objective of the module is to raise awareness among students about Internet safety, including the risks involved, their responsibilities to themselves and other users, as well as the long-term impact of Internet use,' she said in a statement, Friday. Teo, who is currently on a working visit to Sabah, attended the KIS programme at Sekolah Menengah Holy Trinity. She expressed hope that through the module, students will be able to distinguish between genuine and false information online by identifying the characteristics of facts versus misinformation, as well as assess the risks of openly sharing personal information. 'Students are also expected to recognise signs of online grooming and be better prepared with self-protection strategies,' she added. She said the campaign aims to equip students with critical thinking and empathy-based decision-making skills, enabling them to make safe and responsible choices when navigating the digital space. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Trump Urges Senate To Cancel August Recess To Speed Up Nominee Confirmations
ISTANBUL, July 20 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- US President Donald Trump urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Saturday to cancel the Senate's traditional August recess, asking lawmakers to expedite confirmations of his executive and judicial nominees, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported. 'Hopefully, the very talented John Thune, fresh off our many victories over the past two weeks and, indeed, 6 months, will cancel August recess (and long weekends!), in order to get my incredible nominees confirmed. We need them badly!!' Trump wrote on Truth Social. bootstrap slideshow The Senate is currently slated to confirm six Trump nominees on Monday and advance his candidate to lead the Drug Enforcement Agency. The nominations include Emil Bove, a Justice Department lawyer nominated to a federal appeals court judgeship, and Jeanine Pirro, a former Fox News host, nominated for US attorney for the District of Columbia. Bove faces opposition from Democrats following a whistleblower complaint alleging he advised the Justice Department to defy court orders on migrant deportations, a claim he denies. Additionally, Trump's recent nominees for the National Labour Relations Board aim to restore a quorum to the panel, which has been nonfunctional since January after Trump dismissed its Democratic member. -- BERNAMA-ANADOLU

MADANI Mind Transformation Workshop Trains Participants As Elements Of Community Change
KUCHING, July 20 (Bernama) -- Participants of the MADANI Mind Transformation workshop in Petra Jaya have been urged to be elements of change in their respective communities, by living and practising the spirit of MADANI Malaysia in their daily lives. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said Sarawak should be the best example of a united, progressive and competitive MADANI society. 'As we know, the MADANI Malaysia concept introduced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is an integrated and holistic effort to make all policies and implementations in Malaysia more humane, which is constantly improved through deliberation and feedback from the people. 'In this MADANI Malaysia concept, its implementation is based on strong unity and emphasises justice that should be felt by every diverse racial entity or ethnic group in this country,' he was speaking at the closing ceremony of the workshop here, today. The text of his speech was read by the Deputy Minister in the Sarawak Premier's Department (Law, MA63 and State-Federal Relations) Datuk Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman Ghazali. Fadillah, who is also the Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation, said in the context of Sarawak, the collective approach becomes more significant because cultural and ethnic diversity is the main strength of the state. 'Every race, whether Malay, Iban, Bidayuh, Orang Ulu, Chinese, Indians and others need to join hands as 'Team Sarawak' to realise MADANI's aspirations. "We need to remember that this mind transformation is not just a government programme, but a social movement that needs to be embraced and practised in daily life. Start with small steps at home in educating children, interacting with neighbours and contributing to the local community," he said. The three-day Mind Transformation Workshop since Friday, involved 54 participants from the Tupong, Samariang and Satok state constituencies.
