MOE ensures support for Putri Qisya's welfare and emotional recovery
Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek stated that the ministry will oversee her psycho-emotional well-being throughout her schooling years.
Fadhlina emphasised that Putri Qisya's class teacher, whom she is close to, will monitor her emotional state. 'MOE will take full responsibility for her as long as she is under the MOE.
'I have asked the teacher to monitor her psycho-emotional and welfare throughout her studies at this school,' she said after visiting Putri Qisya at Sekolah Kebangsaan Seberang Perak Baru.
Currently, Putri Qisya has not fully resumed school as she continues her emotional recovery. She is receiving counselling from the Social Welfare Department.
'She will return to her studies when she feels emotionally ready,' Fadhlina added.
During the visit, Fadhlina handed over compensation from the Malaysian School Student Takaful Scheme and donations from the National Education Foundation and Kedah State Education Department.
The tragedy occurred on July 7 when Putri Qisya's parents and four siblings were found dead in a car believed to have plunged into Sungai Korok. - Bernama

Guidelines On Vertical School Development Finalised, MOE To Present To Cabinet Soon
KUALA LUMPUR, July 30 (Bernama) -- The Ministry of Education (MOE) has finalised the Guidelines for Vertical School Development Planning, which take into account basic principles for school design, such as supervision and student safety. Deputy Education Minister Wong Kah Woh said the guidelines would be presented to the Cabinet soon. He said the MOE took into account several factors in determining the vertical school concept, including vertical movement safety, accessibility for students with special needs, students' emotional and social well-being, and access to recreational spaces. "We also look into technical aspects such as acoustics, soundproofing, lighting and natural ventilation, emergency routes, the building structure, maintenance and strata management," he said during the oral question-and-answer session in the Dewan Rakyat today. He was replying to a question from Datuk Muslimin Yahaya (PN–Sungai Besar) on Kuala Lumpur City Hall's (DBKL) proposal to construct a two-block vertical school with between 10 and 17 storeys, and the measures taken by the MOE to ensure that basic safety facilities in schools are functioning properly. Wong further said that an engagement session had also been conducted by the Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT) involving the Department of Town and Country Planning (PLANMalaysia), the Public Works Department, the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department, as well as parents and teachers, to refine the design requirements for vertical schools. He said KPKT had proposed three modules, namely constructing schools on land specifically designated for education purposes; incorporating community facilities such as clinics and libraries; and integrating school buildings with residential and commercial developments. 'School design must be curriculum-friendly, sustainable and flexible, and adhere to the principles of a sense of belonging, attractiveness, safety and ease of maintenance,' he said. Wong added that the implementation of vertical schools would be subject to assessment by the MOE and relevant technical agencies, particularly in areas with populations exceeding one million.

M'sian discovers his ex-bully now wants safe school for child
A Malaysian Threads post has gone viral after user @muhamad_amirhakim shared an unexpected story about crossing paths—online—with someone from his school days. The post began innocently enough: 'Last week I came across a parent asking about SBP/MRSM schools that are safe for her child, specifically those with no bullying issues. I got curious and started reading the comments.' But things took an ironic turn when he accidentally clicked on the parent's profile photo. 'Suddenly, I saw her display picture. It's a family photo with her husband. And in my heart, I thought—this guy was the father of all devils in school.' According to @muhamad_amirhakim, the man had a reputation as a serial bully back in the day: 'In my mind, I thought, 'Your husband was the biggest bully back in school. He made others wash his clothes, had others deliver his food, he'd take money from people, and even made others cook his Maggi noodles.'' ALSO READ: Fadhlina reminds schools, principals not to hide bullying cases 'I still have a phobia about it till today.' The revelation left him wondering how times—and people—change. 'I wonder if anyone else has ever met their school bullies again later in life?' The post struck a chord with Malaysians, sparking a flood of personal stories about schoolyard tormentors and their karmic endings. @miza_harun wrote: 'I was bullied for being fat. One day in college, a guy kept fat-shaming me until I lost it. I grabbed his collar and almost punched him. He stopped immediately. I even prayed he'd marry someone bigger than me—and yes, God answered my prayer.' Others shared how life eventually humbled their bullies. @cunacuna1 said: 'I was punched in the face in primary school. Now that guy's a drug addict.' @hzqhlcious added: 'My school bully is now teaching at a primary school. I can't help but laugh.' @hana_shine89 recounted: 'There were three bullies in my school. One apologised in her 30s, another got fat after body-shaming me for being short, and the last one? She now posts about 'anti-bullying' on Instagram. The audacity!'
