300 Tanah Merah Students To Benefit From MRC's 'Tuisyen Pintar Santuni MADANI' Programme
TANAH MERAH, May 30 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Rubber Council (MRC) has launched the 'Tuisyen Pintar Santuni MADANI' programme aimed at benefiting 300 students, particularly from Kampung Padang Siam and Kampung Sat here.
MRC chairman Datuk Seri Mohamad Suparadi Md Noor said the programme is implemented under the 'Satu Pemimpin Satu Kampung' initiative, also known as Santuni MADANI. Its goal is to enhance the potential of villages and the capabilities of communities through direct monitoring and engagement, aiming to identify socioeconomic issues and local needs.
"This tuition programme is a community education initiative designed to enhance academic performance among students preparing for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination, particularly those in this district.
"It will run from June to November this year concurrently at Masjid Mukim Padang Siam and Sekolah Menengah Ugama (Arab) Al-Fitrah, Kampung Sat, as an intensive preparation for SPM candidates," he told Bernama after launching the programme at Masjid Mukim Padang Siam here today.
Mohamad Suparadi added that the programme is structured around four core objectives that complement each other in strengthening the community education ecosystem.
"First, it aims to increase access to quality education for students in need, especially those from low-income families, through the provision of intensive and structured tuition classes.
"Second, the programme focuses on improving academic performance in core subjects, namely Bahasa Melayu, English, History, Mathematics, and Science. This focus was chosen due to the importance of these subjects in public exams and their relevance to students' academic future and careers," he said.
He added that the initiative also aims to create synergy among parents, teachers, and students by encouraging comprehensive and collaborative support for the learning process, thereby fostering a competitive educational environment.
"The final objective is to instil awareness among the community about the importance of education as a foundation for sustainable and inclusive national progress.

Manufacturing PMI slightly higher at 48.8 in May
S&P Global Market Intelligence economist Usamah Bhatti said PMI data for May revealed that business conditions in the Malaysian manufacturing sector were muted. KUALA LUMPUR: The seasonally adjusted S&P Global Malaysia manufacturing purchasing manager's index (PMI) inched up to 48.8 in May, compared to 48.6 in April, signalling a sustained, though softer moderation in operating conditions. S&P Global Market Intelligence economist Usamah Bhatti said PMI data for May revealed that business conditions in the Malaysian manufacturing sector were muted as production levels were scaled back due to subdued new orders. 'That said, the rates of reduction in both measures eased to three-month lows and were only marginal overall. 'As such, the data indicated that gross domestic product growth is likely to have sustained at a similar pace as seen in the opening quarter of the year,' he said in a statement today. He noted that manufacturing firms also reported a gradual increase in cost burdens, with average input costs rising at the sharpest rate in six months. — Bernama
