Anwar congratulates SK Putrajaya Presint 11 (1) As World's Best School Prizes Finalist
KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim congratulated the teachers and students of Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Putrajaya Presint 11 (1) for being selected as one of the 10 finalists for the World's Best School Prizes 2025.
"Congratulations to the educators and children of SK Putrajaya Presint 11 (1) for this recognition. Your efforts and dedication are an inspiration to all," he said in a post on X.
SK Putrajaya Presint 11 (1) was reportedly listed as one of the top 10 finalists for the World's Best School Prizes 2025 for Supporting Healthy Lives category.
The prize organiser, T4 Education, stated on its website that the public primary school is breaking down barriers surrounding mental health and wellbeing with a mobile app, HELPIE.
Designed and developed by students for students, HELPIE makes mental health support accessible, interactive, engaging, and, most importantly, fun.
"Gamification makes emotional awareness fun and interesting, self-assessment tools help students easily see their current stress levels and identify emotional triggers and stress points, and a chat feature linked to an online therapist gives students quick access to guidance and counselling.
"Printed cards, paired with the app, provide guided activities that bring content into a real-world context, allowing children to play individually or in groups and encourage open discussions about emotions," it said.
To drive community involvement, T4 Education noted that a stress support system powered through the app organises awareness campaigns to provide a fully inclusive experience.
Ensuring that students with limited digital resources are not left behind, the app is installed on school-provided tablets, which children can access throughout their school day.

Malaysia reports first Covid-19 death of 2025
People walking with face masks on along the Kuching Waterfront. – Photo by Roystein Emmor PUTRAJAYA (June 19): Malaysia recorded its first Covid-19-related death of the year during Epidemiological Week 24 (ME24), according to the Health Ministry (MOH). The fatality involved a patient with serious comorbidities, including heart disease and diabetes, who had not received a second booster dose. 'This marks a significant decline compared to 57 Covid-19 deaths reported in 2024, with the last fatality recorded on May 26 last year,' it said in a statement today. The decline, it added, reflects the effectiveness of ongoing control measures. However, Covid-19 cases rose to 3,379 during ME24, up from 2,011 cases the previous week. Despite the increase, the national situation remains under control and below the alert threshold, due to ongoing surveillance and public health interventions. To date, a total of 21,738 cases have been reported this year, with the weekly average holding steady at around 900. Six patients were admitted to intensive care during ME24, all with underlying health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and Down syndrome. All received intensive care, with four discharged home and two transferred to general wards. MOH continues to encourage all Malaysians, from unborn babies to the elderly, to stay protected by following appropriate vaccination schedules under the National Immunisation Programme. – Bernama comorbidities covid-19 death ICU cases ME24 MOH public health vaccination
