71 schools in KL, Selangor to switch to PdPR during Asean Summit
The Education Ministry, in a statement, said the decision was made to ensure learning continues smoothly amid traffic diversions and increased security throughout the summit period.
The ministry said parents, guardians, students and school staff have been advised to refer to official communication channels of their respective schools for further details.
"The ministry believes that experience gained from implementing PdPR during the Covid-19 pandemic and in previous disaster situations would help ensure a smooth learning process while safeguarding the well-being of students, teachers and school communities."
On April 17, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said a proposal for work-from-home and PdPR arrangements during the Asean Summits in May and October would be brought to the cabinet.
On April 21, Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said the ministry was prepared to implement PdPR during the Asean Summits in May and October to help alleviate traffic congestion.
She said the ministry was in the process of identifying schools that would be involved in the implementation.
The 46th Asean Summit is scheduled to take place from May 26 to 27, bringing together leaders of the 10 member states to discuss regional issues, enhance economic cooperation, and advance the principles of inclusivity and sustainability.

KUALA TERENGGANU, July 7 (Bernama) -- The Terengganu State Assembly today congratulated the Malaysian Parliament for successfully hosting the 46th ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA). State Assembly Speaker Datuk Mohd Nor Hamzah said the 46th AIPA, organised in conjunction with the 46th ASEAN Summit chaired by Malaysia, was conducted in an orderly, dignified, and commendable manner. 'The House records its full support for this outstanding initiative and prays that the 46th AIPA General Assembly achieves resounding success, further enhancing the stature of Malaysia's legislative institutions at both the regional and international levels," he said in his opening speech at the second meeting of the third term of the 15th State Assembly here today. He said that since the beginning of this year, Malaysia has successfully organised several significant AIPA-related meetings, including the Fourth Meeting of the Coordinating Committee of Women Parliamentarians of AIPA (WAIPA) in Sarawak last April, the Second AIPA Young Parliamentarians Consultation Meeting in Selangor last May, and the AIPA Advisory Council on Dangerous Drugs (AIPACODD) Meeting in Pahang last June. 'These meetings serve as important platforms to deliberate on key issues, such as the role of women and youth, social security, drug-related challenges, and policy coordination that promotes inclusive development and a sustainable ASEAN,' he said. He added that the upcoming 46th AIPA General Assembly, scheduled to take place from Sept 16 to 22 in Kuala Lumpur, which will be the culmination of all preceding consultation sessions, will be a vital avenue for Malaysia to showcase the leadership of its Parliament in advancing the ASEAN Community Vision 2045. -- BERNAMA

By Yasmin Ahmad Zukiman KUALA LUMPUR, July 7 (Bernama) -- The meeting of the Executive Committee of the Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone (SEANWFZ) will be held today, in conjunction with the 58th ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting (AMM) and related meetings. The SEANWFZ meeting is expected to revisit ASEAN's long-standing efforts to preserve the region as a nuclear weapon-free zone, as outlined in the 1995 SEANWFZ Treaty. While all 10 ASEAN member states have ratified the treaty, efforts to secure the signatures of the five recognised nuclear-weapon states – China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States – to the treaty's protocol remain ongoing. Malaysian Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan had previously stated that China and Russia have agreed to sign the protocol, while the United States is still reviewing the treaty. Also taking place today are the ASEAN Senior Officials' Meeting (SOM) and the Drafting Committee of the ASEAN SOM, which will prepare the groundwork for ministerial-level discussions, including negotiating and finalising the Joint Communique which will be the key outcome document of the 58th AMM. The communique is expected to outline ASEAN's collective positions on regional integration, community-building and various regional and global issues. The 58th AMM and related meetings, to be held under Malaysia's 2025 ASEAN Chairmanship themed 'Inclusivity and Sustainability,' will feature 24 ministerial-level meetings, including engagements with ASEAN Dialogue Partners and Sectoral Dialogue Partners. The high-level meetings, to be held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) from July 8 to 11, will gather about 1,500 delegates.
