Social media and poor supervision fuel social issues in Kelantan
KOTA BHARU: A lack of supervision and unchecked social media use among teenagers are major contributors to rising social problems in Kelantan, including rape cases. State Welfare, Family and Women's Development Committee chairman Rohani Ibrahim stressed the need for stronger parental involvement and regulatory action. Rohani cited a recent incident where a 14-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a man she met through a social media app after travelling over 500 kilometres from Tumpat to Kulim. 'This issue requires collaboration between the state government and agencies like MCMC to enforce stricter controls,' she said after an event at the Kota Darul Naim Complex. Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat confirmed the case, noting the risks of unsupervised online interactions. Rohani urged parents to monitor their children's digital activities and set usage limits. 'Early education on digital safety is crucial to prevent such incidents,' she added. The state government has introduced measures like the Rabbani Education Policy in Islamic schools to promote moral values. The Mawaddah Centre, established in 2022, addresses social issues through Islamic teachings and conflict resolution, handling nearly 250 cases last year. Upcoming initiatives include the Karnival Rakyat from July 29 at Masjid Jamek Muhammadi, featuring community programmes and a record-setting sewing event with 1,000 tailors.

Karnival Siang Malam Karangkraf: Strengthen community ties
Karnival Siang Malam continues previous carnivals with a fresher, more inclusive approach to community engagement. Karangkraf is set to host Karnival Siang Malam 2025, a massive community event happening over three consecutive days from July 25 at the Karangkraf headquarters in Seksyen 15, Shah Alam. (Inset: Zamri) SHAH ALAM – The Karnival Siang Malam organised by Karangkraf is not only a platform to promote the company's products, but also serves as a vital bridge connecting the company with the community through a fresher and more inclusive approach. Sinar Karangkraf Group Editor-in-Chief Zamri Rambli said that this is not the first programme organised by the company, but a continuation of previous Karangkraf carnivals. 'In 2023, Karangkraf held the Karnival Pendidikan Sinar Bestari, while in 2024 it was the Karnival Rakyat. This year, we present the Karnival Siang Malam, which comes with a new and refreshing touch and concept. 'Importantly, the Karnival Siang Malam is Karangkraf's initiative not only to promote its products such as Sinar Harian's newspaper, books and the Quran, but also to provide an opportunity for Karangkraf and its strategic partners to connect with the community,' he said. The carnival is scheduled to take place from July 25 to 27, 2025, at Dataran Karangkraf, Seksyen 15, Shah Alam, Selangor. Karangkraf is set to host Karnival Siang Malam 2025, a massive community event happening over three consecutive days from July 25 at the Karangkraf headquarters in Seksyen 15, Shah Alam. The event will run from 9am to midnight, and admission is free. Zamri added that various exciting and engaging activities will be offered throughout the day and into the night. 'Unlike previous years where the carnival ended at 7pm, this year's Karnival Siang Malam will continue until midnight. 'Among the main highlights are the giant maze, haunted house, book fair, parade, Pasar Saloma, marching competition, booth exhibitions, coffee bazaar and many more,' he said. He also expressed hope that the public would not miss the chance to attend the upcoming festival. 'In the past two years, we saw attendance reaching 100,000 visitors over three days. This year, we hope to see even more people from the Klang Valley and surrounding areas join us at Karnival Siang Malam,' he added.
