Continue Support, Expand K2K Programme
GENERAL
KUALA LUMPUR, June 28 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, wife of the Prime Minister, has called for continued support and expansion of the Kita-Untuk-Kita (K2K) Programme to benefit more communities in public housing areas.
The Bandar Tun Razak MP said the programme, launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in April 2023, is part of efforts to empower communities in People's Housing Projects (PPR) in a comprehensive and inclusive manner.
She said the programme comprises four key components, namely community empowerment, co-management of public housing, economic and income enhancement, as well as advocacy and policy reform.
'Through the implementation of this strategy, more than 50,000 residents in the Klang Valley are now part of a wave of transformation that is making their communities more resilient and sustainable,' she said in her speech at a ceremony to celebrate the academic excellence of Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) students from PPR Taman Mulia under the programme here today.
Also present were political secretary to the Prime Minister, Datuk Azman Abidin and K2K Programme director Dr Shahridan Faiez.
Dr Wan Azizah said the PPR Taman Mulia community had chosen to implement the Free SPM Tuition Project under the K2K Community Grant Programme, which not only had a direct impact on over 40 students there but also strengthened the spirit of solidarity and shared responsibility.
She said the project had received RM17,052 in funding through the K2K Community Grant, managed by Think City.
'With this funding, a total of 48 classes for core subjects were successfully conducted. In addition, learning facilities such as tables, chairs, printers and projectors were also provided to create a conducive learning environment even after the grant period ends,' she said.
She added that the K2K Community Grant not only supports PPR Taman Mulia but also targets 10 public housing areas in the Klang Valley, with a total of 39 community projects worth over RM1 million.

South Korea praises Malaysia's Asean Chair role in Myanmar crisis
KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): South Korea has praised Malaysia's active leadership as Chair of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean), highlighting its constructive role in promoting regional peace and stability. South Korea's Ambassador to Malaysia Yeo Seung Bae said that as Asean organises for peace and stability in South-East Asia, Malaysia as the chair plays an important and active role, especially in addressing the ongoing crisis in Myanmar. "Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim visited Bangkok a couple of months ago and met both the military leadership and the opposition leadership. "By doing this important role as Chair, Malaysia is making a positive contribution to regional peace and stability. "In that regard, Korea highly appreciates the role of Malaysia, and our government will continue to support Malaysia's active role as the Asean Chair,' he told Bernama in an interview recently. In May 2025, Anwar initiated separate dialogues with Myanmar's junta leader Min Aung Hlaing and the opposition National Unity Government (NUG), marking a significant step towards fostering direct engagement between the conflicting parties. Subsequently, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said the Asean Foreign Ministers' Meeting (AMM 2025) held in May also agreed that Asean would undertake internal consultations on the proposal to appoint a permanent Asean Special Envoy on Myanmar for a three-year term, a move aimed at ensuring continuity and sustained engagement in addressing the protracted crisis. On June 22, Malaysia called for enhanced collaboration between Asean and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to address the deteriorating situation in Myanmar, with a focus on ending violence, alleviating the humanitarian crisis, and supporting long-term peace in the country. Meanwhile, for the upcoming 58th Asean Foreign Ministers' Meeting (AMM) this July, Yeo reaffirmed South Korea's role as a responsible member of the international community and a strong supporter of Asean centrality, particularly in Malaysia's efforts to improve the security situation in the region. Korea is an active member of the East Asia Summit and the Asean Regional Forum, as well as being a key dialogue partner of Asean. "So definitely our new government places big importance on this July's Foreign Ministers' Meeting," he said. The 58th Asean Foreign Ministers' Meeting (AMM) will be held from July 8 to 11, 2025, at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and will bring together the foreign ministers of all Asean member countries to review Asean's progress and unity, as well as discuss key regional issues. - Bernama
