KOTA BHARU, Aug 8 (Bernama) -- A total of 87,040 students nationwide have benefited from free tuition under the National Information Dissemination Centre (NADI) Nurture Digital Learning (DILEA) initiative since it was introduced in July last year.
NADI Nurture DILEA coordinator Siti Fatimah Mohd Saman said the platform supported learning for students aged 13 to 18 through a Learning Management System (LMS), enabling them to access their accounts at the centre and attend live classes according to the set schedule.
She said the DILEA system contained all the necessary learning elements, aimed at offering students a variety of up-to-date and engaging learning methods.
Siti Fatimah added that over 100 tuition teachers were actively involved in delivering lessons under the programme.
'All learning activities are carried out online using digital technology, and we also encourage the community to visit NADI to make use of the facilities available at the centre, she told Bernama at the Kelantan MADANI Rakyat Programme (PMR) 2025, held at the Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium here today.
NADI Nurture DILEA, supported by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), aims to offer free benefits to the community through five core elements, namely Academic Live Class Guidance, which includes Open Tuition and Guidance Tuition; Guidance and Progress Assessment; English Language Mastery; Revision Videos; and Special Programmes.
Siti Fatimah said the PMR 2025 in Kelantan served as a platform for NADI Nurture DILEA to expand its outreach and promote free digital education to the community.
The three-day Kelantan PMR 2025, which runs until Aug 9, is spearheaded by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) in collaboration with the Implementation Coordination Unit of the Prime Minister's Department (ICU JPM), with support from various ministries and government agencies.
The programme offers more than 100 direct services to the public, showcases the latest technologies, and features various community outreach initiatives, all part of the holistic MADANI government approach.

Penang To Host Major ASEAN Naval Events With 10 Warships Docking

GEORGE TOWN, Aug 13 (Bernama) -- Penang will take centre stage in regional maritime defence as the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) hosts three key ASEAN naval events from Aug 15 to 22 under Malaysia's ASEAN Chairmanship 2025. The week-long programme includes the 19th ASEAN Navy Chiefs' Meeting (ANCM), the Third ASEAN Multilateral Naval Exercise (AMNEX) and the ASEAN Fleet Review (AFR), with activities across George Town and Batu Ferringhi. The ANCM Working Committee deputy chairman Rear Admiral Datuk Mohd Fadzli Kamal Mohd Mohaldin told Bernama that the events will feature ten warships, seven from ASEAN countries and three from RMN, bringing about 1,600 naval personnel to Penang's Swettenham Pier Cruise Terminal. He said the programme begins with the arrival of the vessels on Aug 15. It will be followed by the AMNEX Opening Ceremony and its 'Port Phase' on Aug 16, which allows naval officers to finalise plans for the joint sea exercises. The RMN will also host the Naval Engineering Conference (NEC), a scientific forum uniting regional naval engineers to discuss innovations under the theme 'Innovation and Technology Towards Improving Ship Survivability at Sea'. A highlight open to the public is the ASEAN Navies' City Parade (ANCP) on Aug 17 at the Esplanade in Padang Kota Lama, held alongside Penang's Hari Buletin 4.0 event. The parade commemorates the historic 1990 International Royal Fleet Review, which saw 59 warships and over 11,000 naval personnel visit Penang. Visitors will also have the rare opportunity to tour the docked warships at Swettenham Pier, gaining insights into the latest naval technologies. The programme includes the various contingents' parade, local agency display, cultural performances, maritime asset salutes and RMN helicopter flypasts. The 19th ANCM, a high-level meeting of ASEAN naval commanders to strengthen maritime cooperation and trust, will convene on Aug 19 at Shangri-La Rasa Sayang Resort in Batu Ferringhi. Delegates will then attend the ASEAN Chief Navy (CN) Interaction Programme at Penang Hill on Aug 20. The grand finale, the ASEAN Fleet Review on Aug 21, will see all participating warships sail in formation through the northern strait, a spectacle visible from Butterworth and George Town.

Perak to set up temporary shelters for stray animals

IPOH: The Perak government is planning to establish temporary shelters for stray animals to tackle the rising issue of abandoned pets. State Housing and Local Government Committee chairman Sandrea Ng Shy Ching said the state is collaborating with NGOs to identify suitable locations. 'These shelters will be managed by NGOs with minimal state facilitation while long-term solutions like adoption centres are explored,' she said. She added that the shelters will provide care for strays, particularly those involved in public complaints. Sandrea spoke at a press conference after launching the 2025 Perak Pawsitive Initiative for Kinta district. The event was graced by the Raja Permaisuri of Perak, Tuanku Zara Salim, who visited exhibition booths at the Malaysian Red Crescent Hall. Also present were Datin Seri Aezer Zubin, wife of the Perak Menteri Besar, and Ipoh Timur MP Howard Lee Chuan How. Sandrea highlighted that the stray population surge is often due to irresponsible pet owners failing to neuter their animals. 'As of April, local authorities received 1,421 dog-related complaints, showing the severity of the issue,' she said. She noted that the state has run subsidised neutering campaigns and awareness programmes through the Friends of Pawsitive Initiative. Additional efforts include photography and art competitions, as well as pet adoption drives. By June 23, 2025, 301 dogs and 254 cats were neutered, with 498 local authority licences issued under the initiative. Sandrea urged more stakeholders to support the state's efforts in managing stray animals responsibly. - Bernama

Perak Plans To Establish Temporary Shelters For Stray Animals

IPOH, Aug 13 (Bernama) -- The Perak government plans to establish temporary shelters for stray animals to address the issue of abandoned animal populations. State Housing and Local Government Committee chairman Sandrea Ng Shy Ching said the state is working closely with non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to identify suitable locations for the purpose. 'These shelters will be run by NGOs with the state facilitating the process at minimal cost, while we look for adoption centres and other solutions. 'The shelters will provide a place to care for stray animals, especially those involved in complaints. We hope more parties will continue to work with us,' she said at a press conference after officiating the 2025 Perak Pawsitive Initiative for the Kinta district here today. Earlier, the Raja Permaisuri of Perak, Tuanku Zara Salim, graced the event's opening ceremony and visited the exhibition booths at the Malaysian Red Crescent Hall in Ipoh. Also present were the wife of Perak Menteri Besar, Datin Seri Aezer Zubin, and Ipoh Timur member of parliament Howard Lee Chuan How. Sandrea said the initiative is necessary as the growing population of stray animals is often linked to owners who do not neuter their pets, leading to unplanned litters and eventually abandoned animals that disrupt public order. 'As of April this year, the 15 local authorities in the state received 1,421 dog-related complaints, which shows the seriousness of the problem. The state hopes this awareness campaign will continue to gain momentum,' she said. She said the state government has conducted a subsidised neutering campaign, public awareness programmes through the Friends of Pawsitive Initiative platform, as well as photography and art competitions, and pet adoption drives to address the issue.
