Fadhlina: Stick to ministry-approved development programmes
Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek (pic) said teachers should refer to the ministry for appropriate support.
'We should avoid getting involved in motivational programmes if we are unsure of the content and 'substance'.
'We should focus on our issues at the school level,' she said in a media conference after visiting SMK Taman Widuri here yesterday, Bernama reported.
Elaborating further, Fadhlina said the ministry has various development and motivational programmes for teachers, including counselling services that can be fully utilised.
'We do not want our teachers involved in programmes that can raise doubts or undermine the integrity of the teaching profession.
'We provide many internal development programmes.
'Therefore, my advice is to be careful. Avoid participating in inappropriate external programmes,' she said.
She was commenting on the marriage motivation programme (eHATI) targeting working women facing household crises.
On Sunday, Selangor police chief Comm Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said an inquiry paper had been opened to identify offences related to the eHATI marriage motivational programme, which was accused of promoting inappropriate and provocative content.
He said that they intend to call in numerous witnesses to verify the allegations, which include the purported hallucination-causing use of water.

Melaka KPDN Tracking Five Essential Household Items In Op Kesan 4.0
MELAKA, July 18 (Bernama) -- The Melaka Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) is focusing on inspecting five essential household items under 'Op Kesan 4.0' launched today to ensure there is no price manipulation of basic consumer goods. Melaka KPDN director Dr Mohd Hazimin Jamaludin said the five items were condensed milk, chocolate malt drinks, wheat flour, sardines and white bread. "This focus is also part of the monitoring measures following the implementation of the Sales Tax rate review and the expanded scope of the Service Tax (SST), which began on July 1. "For the period from July 1 to yesterday (July 17), a total of 35 premises involving 63 stock-keeping units (SKUs) were inspected and a written notice was issued involving three SKUs including a viral case related to the price of ice," he said after conducting an Op Kesan 4.0 monitoring at a supermarket in Angkasa Nuri, Durian Tunggal here today. Elaborating further, Mohd Hazimin said that apart from tracking prices, his department also paid attention to the issue of manipulation in the quantity of goods, such as reducing packaging size without a significant change in price. "Sometimes the price remains the same, but the quantity decreases. What is important is not just cheapness, but fairness to consumers. "We also encourage users who detect any non-compliance to file a complaint via WhatsApp at 019-8488000, the e-complaint portal ( or the call centre 1-800-886-800," he said.
