The initiative, under the Ministry of Communications, goes beyond improving internet access by promoting safe, ethical and responsible online behaviour, particularly among young people. Launched by Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil, the programme included online safety awareness sessions, interactive activities and teacher training designed to instil strong values and resilience in students facing online threats. Form Three student Faradira Horatio, appointed as the school's K-DAT Captain Icon for the campaign, said such programmes should be expanded to other rural areas to ensure all students benefit from cybersecurity education. 'It teaches us to use the internet and social media responsibly, something many students tend to overlook,' she said, adding that she plans to actively raise awareness among her peers about cyberbullying and promote safe, responsible online behaviour. Form Four student Lee Yuh Hui said the campaign provided new insights on digital footprints and the risks of irresponsible internet use. 'Many students still lack awareness about safe digital practices. This campaign helps fill that gap,' she added. Form Five student Steve Noel said the initiative helped students distinguish between credible and false information online. In a statement, MCMC said the campaign reflects a whole-of-nation approach under the Malaysia MADANI framework, involving collaboration between schools, government agencies, parents and local authorities to deliver digital safety messages effectively. 'The internet is more than a communication tool, it's a platform to shape values, spread knowledge, and foster unity. Let's ensure this space remains safe, ethical, and constructive for future generations,' the statement said. Fahmi also joined students in an interactive session, advising them to remain vigilant about cyber threats. Also present were Communications Ministry Secretary-General Datuk Mohamad Fauzi Md Isa and MCMC Chief of State Affairs Bukhari Yahya.-Bernama

AADK Introduces New Holistic Drug Treatment And Rehabilitation Module
BANDAR BAHARU, July 20 (Bernama) -- The new treatment and rehabilitation module introduced by the National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK) emphasises a holistic, client-friendly and evidence-based approach. AADK director-general Datuk Ruslin Jusoh said the new module is the agency's effort to strengthen the country's drug addiction or abuse treatment and rehabilitation system in line with current needs. The launch of this new module is a significant step for AADK in ensuring that treatment and rehabilitation methods and approaches remain relevant to current changes, particularly those involving drug addiction issues. "Furthermore, this module was designed in collaboration with all parties, encompassing a biopsychosocial-spiritual integrated approach and evidence-based treatment and rehabilitation methods," he told reporters after officiating the AADK Open Day at the Narcotics Addiction Rehabilitation Centre (PUSPEN) here today. Also present were Bukit Aman Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department acting director Datuk Mat Zani@Mohd Salahuddin Che Ali, AADK Treatment, Medical and Rehabilitation Division director Siti Mariam Mursidan, and Bandar Baharu district officer Mohd Noor Ismail. According to him, the launch of the module reflects AADK's commitment to remain responsive to the changing landscape of addiction, particularly concerning synthetic drugs and new psychoactive substances. The new module is expected to be a driver of the Malaysia MADANI agenda to strengthen community well-being through more effective and inclusive interventions, utilising a more holistic and humane treatment and rehabilitation approach. "Through this module, the phased recovery strategy that emphasises self-empowerment, community support, employment, skills, and reintegration into society has also been updated as a guide for AADK recovery officers to carry out their duties professionally and consistently," he also said. Meanwhile, Ruslin added that the AADK Open Day was held to provide information about AADK's latest services to all clients, particularly in the agency's three core areas: prevention, treatment and rehabilitation, and enforcement.
