Reject Physical And Emotional Bullying
ALOR SETAR, Aug 19 (Bernama) -- The Sultan of Kedah, Al-Aminul Karim Sultan Sallehuddin Sultan Badlishah, has called on all parties to reject immoral acts and practices such as bullying, whether physical or emotional, which can cause harm.
His Royal Highness stated that all parties must foster a culture of kindness and mutual respect and oppose bullying, especially among students, to develop noble character and continue to excel in the future.
The Kedah Ruler said this at the 2025 Haflu Takrim Al Mutafawwiqin (Excellence Awards Ceremony) of the Maktab Mahmud Kedah Board, here today.
Sultan Sallehuddin said that success should be measured by academic accomplishments and having commendable character and noble values.
'I am very pleased to celebrate students who have achieved excellence in academics, co-curricular activities, and character growth in 2024. I am proud of the progress and latest achievements of students from Maktab Mahmud Kedah and Maahad Tahfiz Sains Darul Aman.
'Your hard work and dedication in the pursuit of knowledge have led to success and outstanding results. To parents and teachers, I extend my highest appreciation for your guidance and support,' the Sultan said.
Sultan Sallehuddin said the guidance and support are vital in shaping young people of quality and noble character, but warned that the responsibility should not be solely assigned to schools and teachers.
'Parents, families, communities, and various other institutions must share the responsibility and work together to support teachers and schools. Knowledge is key to progress.
'Continue your pursuit of knowledge, not only in school, but throughout your life. Strive to be knowledgeable, well-rounded individuals who are always ready to serve your religion, nation, and country,' said the Ruler.

Proud widow keeps late husband's legacy aloft
Sea of patriotism: Tuan Yah waving a Jalur Gemilang among the flags that adorn the area around her home in Kampung Kubang Bongor, Melor. She carries on her late husband's tradition of flag raising. — Bernama KOTA BARU: The Jalur Gemilang is a symbol of love for our homeland. But for one elderly woman, every flag raised around her home carries a far deeper meaning. The red, white, blue and yellow of the national flag not only represents Tuan Yah Tuan Yeh's pride as a Malaysian, it also embodies the sacrifices of her late husband, who once shielded the nation against the communist threat. The 66-year-old recalled that for over a decade, her husband Zahari Abdullah – who served in the armed forces for 13 years – was among the busiest people in Kampung Kubang Bongor, Melor, during national month celebrations. He would tirelessly search for bamboo or wood to make flagpoles to fly the Jalur Gemilang, she said. 'Every year before Aug 31, he would begin decorating our house, padi fields and the farm with the Jalur Gemilang. 'He even hung independence-themed banners until Sept 16 to create a festive atmosphere in the village. 'Although he spent about RM600 from his own pocket to buy more than 500 flags of various sizes for the decoration, Zahari never once complained. 'Three years ago, he even built replica cannons and traditional moon kites from recycled material, decorated them with the Jalur Gemilang and placed them near the padi fields and quail pens – all to reignite the spirit of independence,' she told Bernama in an interview at her home recently. However, August has not been the same since last year when Zahari died after a fall at home, leaving behind cherished memories and an enduring legacy of patriotism. Determined not to let her husband's patriotic spirit be buried with him, Tuan Yah, a former nurse at the 1Malaysia Clinic in Jelawat, Bachok, has taken over his efforts to spearhead decoration efforts in the village. With the help of her children and neighbours, the mother of four and grandmother of five has strung the Jalur Gemilang along the lane and yard of her house. For her, it is both a way to honour her late husband's memory and an expression of her enduring love for the nation. 'Villagers often ask me why I still put up so many Jalur Gemilang even though my husband is gone. 'That is when I tell them about his struggles and the sacrifices of his comrades in the armed forces, that the freedom we enjoy today was earned through the blood, sweat and tears of the security forces who defended our nation's sovereignty,' she said.
