Govt mulls extending FLYsiswa to land transport in peninsula
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said Akademi Kenegaraan Malaysia is looking into expanding the Perdana Fellow programme for youths. PETALING JAYA : The government will discuss the possibility of expanding its FLYsiswa initiative, which provides subsidised flight tickets, to include land transport for students in Peninsular Malaysia, says Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. Bernama reported him as saying the annual initiative by the transport ministry could potentially be implemented for specific journeys or destinations within the peninsula. 'FLYsiswa is (currently) focussed on Sabah and Sarawak because we all know flights to those states are expensive, especially during festive seasons … so we decided to offer assistance. 'As for FLYsiswa in the peninsula, I'll discuss it with transport minister Loke Siew Fook. Perhaps we can look into implementing it for certain areas or specific locations,' he said at the 'Temu Anwar' programme at the Management and Science University in Shah Alam today. He was responding to a participant who suggested the government extend FLYsiswa to cover land transport for students in Peninsular Malaysia. FLYsiswa subsidises flight tickets for public university, polytechnic and community college students, as well as matriculation and teacher training institute students, for domestic routes between Peninsular Malaysia, and Sabah, Sarawak or Labuan. Separately, Anwar said Akademi Kenegaraan Malaysia is looking into expanding the Perdana Fellow programme, creating more opportunities for youths to gain experience from national leadership. He said the government views the programme, introduced 10 years ago, as the best platform for students to understand the government's direction and work culture at the highest level, while also preventing them from being influenced by baseless accusations against the administration. 'We will discuss how to give those who are unable to join the Perdana Fellow Programme other opportunities to engage with and learn from government leaders, ministers and deputy ministers. 'This is being managed by the academy and other relevant parties to allow more youths to gain knowledge about the administration and its work culture,' he said.

Floating market to boost tourism in Sepang's Kampung Labu Lanjut
SEPANG: A floating market will be introduced in Kampung Labu Lanjut here as a unique community tourism product for both domestic and international tourists, with potential to boost the local economy. The floating market concept is one of three economic project proposals submitted by its Village Development and Security Committee (JPKK). Selangor Housing and Culture Committee chairman Datuk Borhan Aman Shah said the introduction of the floating market concept could elevate the state's profile internationally. He said the village's proximity to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA Terminals 1 and 2) would be an advantage in realising the floating market concept at the location. 'There is potential not just in Sepang, but possibly in the future we may introduce floating markets in northern Selangor as well,' he said. 'Places like Sabak Bernam have rivers in Sekinchan and other areas. So I am confident this effort will have positive economic impacts locally,' he told reporters after launching the MADANI Adopted Village: Kampung Labu Lanjut programme here today. Also present was Datuk Dr Roslan Hussin, the director-general of Akademi Kenegaraan Malaysia under the Prime Minister's Office. Earlier in his speech, Roslan said the selection of Kampung Labu Lanjut as a MADANI Adopted Village by Akademi Kenegaraan Malaysia marked the beginning of a grassroots development initiative. 'The MADANI government has allocated up to RM1 million for each village involved in this programme. 'This is a significant investment reflecting the government's commitment to holistic development encompassing not just physical infrastructure but also social and economic progress as well as human values,' he said. Besides the floating market concept, he said a night market would also be introduced in the village as a micro-economy platform and community trading space. The MADANI Adopted Village programme is part of the government's effort to ensure no community is left behind in national development, through its 'One Leader One Village' approach.
