LUMUT: The Perak Madani Rakyat Programme (PMR) 2025 kicked off today at Lumut Waterfront with a wide array of engaging activities and interactive events, featuring participation from various ministries, federal agencies, and the state government for the benefit of visitors.
According to its Information Booklet, the programme is set to begin at 9 am with the 'Prelude Program Jelajah Nyalaan Bara Api bersama Cikgu Saarani', which is expected to be launched by Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad, marking the official opening of the three-day event.
In line with the theme 'Pendidikan Tinggi Pemacu Negara Madani', the involvement of Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) is one of the main highlights through its Pelita Budiman and TVET Tahfiz @ UPSI segments, which showcase educational innovations and skills development for tahfiz students.
The programme also features educational and interactive content, including the STEM Pocket Talk by the Ministry of Education, which introduces an inquiry-based approach to learning mathematics through a session titled 'Meneroka Nilai Pi (π)'.
Another highlight is the 'Perisai Buat Wanita' programme, organised by the Perak State Secretary's Office (PSUK), which is scheduled for the afternoon and aims to empower women.
In addition, visitors also stand a chance to win various attractive prizes through lucky draws organised by the Higher Education Ministry and the National Unity Ministry.
The first evening of Perak PMR 2025 will be enlivened with a 'Madani Berselawat' session.
Perak PMR 2025 runs from 9am to 10pm on Friday and Saturday, and until 6pm on Sunday.
Government service booths will operate daily until 6pm only.
Perak is the second state to host the large-scale programme, organised through a strategic collaboration between the Performance Acceleration Coordination Unit (PACU) under the Prime Minister's Department and the Ministry of Higher Education as the lead ministry.
This year, PMR is being held in two formats - large-scale and small-scale events.
