Empowering schoolkids to save water brings rewards
Zainudin and Rashide encouraged the pupils to act out water-saving methods in one-minute videos for social media to promote awareness of the importance of water conservation.
Zainudin then submitted the content to the 'Save Water Mission together with BoBoiBoy' competition last year.
BoBoiBoy is a Malaysian animated television series created by Monsta Studios that sees the main character involved in water conservation.
Thanks to the pupils' efforts and creativity, SK Polis Depot Kuala Lumpur won the competition by Air Selangor Sdn Bhd, earning the school RM15,000 worth of beautification work.
Three consolation winners – Azan Integrated Islamic School in Sepang, SK Seri Fajar in Kuala Kubu Bharu and SK Taman Tasik in Ampang – each won RM5,000 for school beautification, with prizes handed out by Air Selangor chief executive officer Adam Saffian Ghazali at the ceremony in Subang Jaya.
SK Polis Depot Kuala Lumpur pupils Nur Hawa Syaurah Hasrin Faisal and Afiq Irfan Mohd Khairy, both 12, said with the hotter weather, water was a valuable resource that could not be wasted.
Afiq Irfan said the knowledge he had gained was being shared beyond the classroom, as he was informing his neighbours about the issue as well.
Adam Saffian said last year's competition was open to primary schools but this year, the competition in conjunction with World Environment Day in June, will be open to both primary and secondary schools.
At the event, Air Selangor signed a memorandum of collaboration with Monsta Studios to strengthen joint efforts in promoting water-conservation awareness.
Adam Saffian said the memorandum outlined a three-year collaboration, starting from this year until 2027.
'We aim to implement various programmes and produce a series of cartoons over the next three years to instil sustainability values,' he said.
Monsta Studios managing director Kee Yong Pin said Monsta remained committed to raising awareness and educating on water conservation.

MIC Boss To Scammed Malaysian ‘National Geographic' Photographer: 'Don't Give Up, Bro!'
Subscribe to our FREE The young photographer who was fooled by a fake National Geographic letter has received some solid advice from MIC's big boss. MIC president Tan Sri S. A. Vigneswaran told the guy: 'When one door slams shut, 10 others swing open.' A few weeks ago, news sites were abuzz about how 32-year-old Tinesh Sritharan was supposedly selected for National Geographic's prestigious Explorer program in Kenya. The young photographer was so excited, he slid into Senator Dato Sivarraajh Chandran's Instagram DMs to share his good news. He presented his 'acceptance letter' and emails that looked legit enough to fool anyone. Impressed by his story, Sivarraajh took him to meet the MIC president. The boss was thrilled to meet an ambitious young Malaysian Indian and decided to back him with RM15,000 for his trip to Kenya. MIC Still Has His Back Then National Geographic dropped the bombshell: the letter was fake. 'Look, if the kid got conned, we feel bad for him,' said Sivarraajh, adding that nobody should have their dreams messed with by scammers. But MIC isn't throwing the photographer under the bus – 'The scam is in the letter, not the kid,' the former Cameron Highlands MP explained. The advice was simple: don't let this setback kill your dreams. You're already in Kenya, mate. Make the most of it and come home with photos that'll make everyone proud. According to Sivarraajh, the MIC leader has no problem with the photographer continuing his work in Kenya, fake letter or not. Photographer Calls Out the Scam Professional photographer Syahrin Abd Aziz was one of the first to suspect something was amiss with the entire National Geographic story. He pointed out major red flags: the guy had to fund his own 'assignment,' his animal photos were actually taken at Zoo Negara, and nobody in Malaysia's tight-knit photography scene had ever heard of him. 'Getting an assignment from National Geographic isn't easy – you need a powerful portfolio and extensive experience,' Syahrin explained. He emphasised that National Geographic rarely works with newcomers, preferring established photographers who are already household names in the field of photojournalism. The photographer noted that when National Geographic assigns real assignments, they provide a representative and cover the costs – they don't require you to pay your own way. In Malaysia's photography scene, we all know each other, so whatever we do, the community will find out. READ MORE : Parts of this story have been sourced from .

HKHM 2025: PENTARAMA MERDEKA@KLIA Fills KLIA Terminal 1 With Vibrant Patriotic Spirit
By Mohd Ashraf Syafiq Mazlan SEPANG, Aug 13 (Bernama) -- Patriotic and traditional tunes, accompanied by captivating cultural performances, filled Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1 today during the PENTARAMA MERDEKA@KLIA programme organised by the Information Department (JAPEN). The programme, held in collaboration with Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB), was organised in conjunction with National Day and Malaysia Day 2025 (HKHM 2025), with a focus on showcasing patriotism through casual performances. PENTARAMA MERDEKA@KLIA also featured cultural dance performances and an interactive session with visitors, including a patriotism-themed quiz. JAPEN director-general Julina Johan said hosting the programme at the country's main gateway allowed both locals and foreign visitors to experience Malaysian culture and witness the spirit of patriotism among its people. 'The approach this time is quite different. We are not only presenting patriotic songs but also highlighting Malaysia's cultural elements. 'We have (traditional) songs from Pahang, Perak and Perlis…we are giving them a new lease of life as we want to introduce them to visitors at KLIA Terminal 1,' she told Bernama here today. Also present were KLIA Terminal 1 operations general manager Abdul Hasman Abdul Muhimim and JAPEN Communications and Community Development Service Division director Muhammad Najmi Mustapha. Julina said PENTARAMA MERDEKA@KLIA also served as a platform to showcase Malaysia's identity and national spirit to the world.

Nike Is Suing Edison Chen For Over RM500k For Breach Of Contract
It's not uncommon for brands to take legal action against celebrities, typically for damaging their reputation or breaching a contract. Recently, it was reported that footwear and apparel company Nike is suing former collaborator and Hong Kong star Edison Chen (陈冠希). On 12th August 2025 (Tuesday), reports emerged online alleging that Nike is suing Edison Chen for breach of contract. In a photo, allegedly of the court record, the company is seeking damages of US$126,615,000 (approximately RM534 million). However, recent reports have updated this figure, saying it was a clerical error and that the lawsuit is actually for a little over US$126,000 (approximately RM531,000). According to reports, the lawsuit accuses Edison and his company, Juice Los Angeles, of owing Nike US$126,615 for 'goods and services that Nike provided to Juice'. Edison was named in the lawsuit because he is the personal guarantor on the Juice account with Nike. He's also a resident of Los Angeles, where his company is based. However, there are no additional details on the case. Both Nike and Edison Chen have yet to speak on the lawsuit. However, contrary to popular belief, it appears the lawsuit has nothing to do with Edison partnering with Nike's competitor, Adidas. Edison and Nike had a long-standing relationship, dating back to 2006. Edison's streetwear brand Clot and Nike's Jordan brand have collaborated on numerous sneaker projects. The partnership ended in 2023, and a year later, Clot launched its first collaboration with Adidas Originals. Given the nearly 20-year history between Edison Chen and Nike, their 'breakup' was a surprise to many in the streetwear industry. It's not known why the partnership ended, but insiders suggest that the deal had run its course and was going to expire anyway. Meanwhile, Edison and Adidas have had three launches in 2025 alone. Earlier this month, Edison also teased the launch of a Clot x Adidas Anthony Edwards 1 sneaker. It's worth noting that the Edison Chen lawsuit comes right after Nike settled their lawsuit with custom footwear maker, The Shoe Surgeon, for unauthorised use of the brand's trademarks. Only time will tell how this lawsuit will conclude, but we wish the best for both parties. Sources: WWD, Complex, Twitter
