KOTA BHARU: The Girl Guides Association Malaysia (PPPM) has been urged to ensure that every programme it carries out prioritises human capital development and the nurturing of each member's potential at all levels, with a focus on the younger generation.
PPPM president, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said that to date, the association has successfully capitalised on its core strengths in networking, teamwork, unity and inclusivity.
'I sincerely hope that the collaborative networks established thus far will continue and be further enhanced in the future for more impactful programmes, for the benefit and progress of us all.
'On behalf of PPPM, I would also like to extend our highest appreciation to our strategic partners who have contributed, especially Istana Negara, the Kelantan government, the Implementation Coordination Unit (ICU), the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), the Kelantan Palace and other parties,' she said in her speech at the 'Majlis Makan Malam bersama Wan Azizah' dinner event here on Wednesday (May 21).
Also in attendance was the sister of the Sultan of Kelantan, Tengku Amalin A'ishah Putri Sultan Ismail Petra, who is PPPM Kelantan Branch president.
Dr Wan Azizah, who is also the wife of the Prime Minister, called on PPPM leaders to preserve the association by continuing their noble efforts and maintaining a positive spirit in advancing the organisation to greater heights.
'Organise more beneficial programmes and activities, and involve more parties to optimise available resources, thereby strengthening unity and cooperation among us,' she said.
The dinner was held as a gesture of appreciation and to symbolise the successful hosting of the four-day 60th Annual Conference and General Assembly of PPPM, which started on May 19.

MOE to align reform agenda with upcoming education blueprint
KOTA TINGGI: The Education Ministry (MOE) will align its ongoing education reform agenda with the upcoming Malaysia Education Development Plan (PPPM) 2026–2035. Education director-general Datuk Azman Adnan said the move is part of the ministry's continuous efforts to raise the quality of education in the country. 'The reform initiative began in 2023 and is now in its second year. We're focusing on key areas that need to be streamlined into the new development plan. 'This ensures the reforms remain relevant and responsive to both national and global developments. Therefore, we're targeting 2026 to 2035 to integrate these reforms into the new PPPM,' he told reporters during his official visit to Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Adela today. He said the effort is vital to ensure schools produce a well-educated and high-quality talent pool to meet national needs. Azman added that the reform focuses on six key areas: curriculum intervention, preschool alignment, STEM education, digital learning, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and language proficiency. These efforts are being rolled out through school visits and nationwide engagement, reflecting the ministry's strong commitment to strengthening the education system for the future of some 5.2 million students. 'With over 400,000 teachers across 10,238 schools, I'm confident we can empower and educate our next generation,' he said.
