EC Channels RM100,000 To SMKA Segamat Under MADANI Adopted School Programme
Its secretary, Datuk Khairul Shahril Idrus said the programme was implemented following its national-level launch by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on June 20.
He said the programme would serve as a catalyst for enhancing the delivery of quality, inclusive and progressive education, in line with the government's aspiration to nurture a future generation that is competitive, knowledgeable and morally upright.
'Through the allocation channelled, students and educators will not only benefit from learning facilities that are more modern and interactive, they will also have the opportunity to improve academic performance and personal development.
'At the same time, the implementation of the adopted school programme reflects the EC's social responsibility and our commitment to collaborate with various parties in developing a sustainable and holistic national education ecosystem,' he said in a statement here today.
Khairul Shahril said the school and representatives from the Parent-Teacher Association (PIBG) had presented various requirements in terms of physical infrastructure, ICT facilities, and the development of both teachers and students during a meeting with the EC in May.
Based on the allocation provided, the EC has approved several key initiatives covering four main components, including curriculum development through the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) and Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) academic programmes for students.
Other components include the 'Towards STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)' programme with an allocation of RM31,000, and character and co-curricular development activities such as leadership camp and hadith appreciation programme totalling RM12,000.
The allocation will also go towards teacher professionalism development through the digital in-service training programme amounting to RM5,000, as well as ICT needs, namely the provision of two interactive whiteboards for teaching and learning (PdP), and 50 tablets for students, totalling RM52,000.

Creative economy gets 13MP recognition
PUTRAJAYA: The orange economy is a developing sector that has the potential to contribute to Malaysia's economic growth, says Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil ( pic ). Fahmi, who is also the government spokesman, said the sector, which includes creative industries such as film, music and animation, was included in the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) as a result of a proposal and engagement session between the Communications Ministry and the Economy Ministry. 'The engagement process has convinced the Economy Ministry that the orange economy is a developing sector, which has the potential to help economic growth,' he said at a post-Cabinet press conference here yesterday, Bernama reported. Meanwhile, Fahmi said the details of the specific benefits of the orange economy sector will be known when Budget 2026 is presented this October. During the tabling of the 13MP in Parliament on Thursday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the government was committed to driving the growth of the creative economy through the high-potential digital creative industry. According to Anwar, the Matching Fund and Joint Production Fund will be implemented to encourage joint investments between the government and the private sector in the production of world-class content. 'The country's digital creative industry has generated income of RM6.3bil, with an export value of RM850mil,' he said.

‘RM20bil plan needs local empowerment'
Parts of Taman Tampoi Indah 2, Johor Baru, experienced flooding back in March following continuous rain. — Filepic THE Federal Government's pledge to spend over RM20bil on 103 flood mitigation projects under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) has drawn support but with calls for stronger focus on prevention and community preparedness. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had said the allocation, through the Flood Mitigation Plan (RTB), would reduce flood risks and impacts. He said 103 RTB projects would be carried out, including at Sungai Langat and Sungai Buloh in Selangor, Sungai Golok in Kelantan, Sungai Gemencheh in Negri Sembilan, Sungai Baru in Melaka, Sungai Muar in Johor, and Sungai Pahang in Pahang, aside from Kuching, Sarawak. Urban planning and the nation's resilience against flood disasters, he said, would be strengthened by embedding disaster risk management plans in state and local structure plans, alongside early warning systems based on improved artificial intelligence. Global Environment Centre (GEC) Rivercare Programme manager Dr K. Kalithasan welcomed the scope of the plan. 'I have to admit, it is comprehensive. I was amazed that the Prime Minister covered most aspects of this flood issue, especially the three key strategies on mitigation, adaptation and governance,' he said. Kalithasan, however, said that while mitigation projects were well‑outlined, preventive measures were not given equal weight. Kalithasan says while agencies have produced flood hazard maps, the information rarely reaches communities most at risk. 'In Kuala Lumpur and other states, what we have heard lately is of former mining lands being reclaimed for development. 'Water needs space. If we don't preserve lakes and ponds as natural catchments, floods will inevitably encroach into housing areas, highways and other places,' he said. While agencies have produced flood hazard maps, he said the information rarely reached the communities most at risk. 'The government must empower communities with flood hazard maps, clear information on relief centres and safe evacuation routes. 'Otherwise, no matter how good the infrastructure is, the people won't be ready when disaster strikes,' said Kalithasan. Ijok resident Wong Shun Jek said the flood mitigation efforts were encouraging, but he also hoped to see more information shared with local communities. 'Employing artificial intelligence is a good idea and I think the Government has done well to incorporate that into mitigation planning,' he said. 'With almost everyone owning a smartphone, we should have real-time information for when there are potential disasters. 'Such alert systems are used in other countries, so hopefully we can have that here too,' said Wong.
