300 Tanah Merah Students To Benefit From MRC's 'Tuisyen Pintar Santuni MADANI' Programme
TANAH MERAH, May 30 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Rubber Council (MRC) has launched the 'Tuisyen Pintar Santuni MADANI' programme aimed at benefiting 300 students, particularly from Kampung Padang Siam and Kampung Sat here. MRC chairman Datuk Seri Mohamad Suparadi Md Noor said the programme is implemented under the 'Satu Pemimpin Satu Kampung' initiative, also known as Santuni MADANI. Its goal is to enhance the potential of villages and the capabilities of communities through direct monitoring and engagement, aiming to identify socioeconomic issues and local needs. "This tuition programme is a community education initiative designed to enhance academic performance among students preparing for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination, particularly those in this district. "It will run from June to November this year concurrently at Masjid Mukim Padang Siam and Sekolah Menengah Ugama (Arab) Al-Fitrah, Kampung Sat, as an intensive preparation for SPM candidates," he told Bernama after launching the programme at Masjid Mukim Padang Siam here today. Mohamad Suparadi added that the programme is structured around four core objectives that complement each other in strengthening the community education ecosystem. "First, it aims to increase access to quality education for students in need, especially those from low-income families, through the provision of intensive and structured tuition classes. "Second, the programme focuses on improving academic performance in core subjects, namely Bahasa Melayu, English, History, Mathematics, and Science. This focus was chosen due to the importance of these subjects in public exams and their relevance to students' academic future and careers," he said. He added that the initiative also aims to create synergy among parents, teachers, and students by encouraging comprehensive and collaborative support for the learning process, thereby fostering a competitive educational environment. "The final objective is to instil awareness among the community about the importance of education as a foundation for sustainable and inclusive national progress.

MRC To Introduce Rubber Tapping Technology In Bukit Panau To Boost Smallholders' Income
REGION - EAST > NEWS TANAH MERAH, May 13 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Rubber Council (MRC) will introduce rubber tapping, collection and dilution technology in Bukit Panau, involving 82 smallholders in the area. Its chairman Datuk Seri Mohamad Suparadi Md Noor said the technology was introduced to help increase the income of rubber smallholders in the area. 'The technology was first introduced in Janda Baik, Pahang as a pilot project and we will bring it to Bukit Panau, Tanah Merah in Kelantan, involving 82 rubber smallholders. bootstrap slideshow 'I have discussed with the Implementation Coordination Unit (ICU) of the Prime Minister's Department, through the Kelantan Federal Development Office, to implement this project as we know that most of the poor in this state are farmers, fishermen and rubber smallholders,' he told reporters after the 'Jom Masuk U' Programme here today. He further said that despite owning their own land, the average rubber smallholders in the state did not enjoy good yields. 'Therefore, we aim to increase their income from RM700 to over RM5,000 a month through the technology we have introduced, while also improving both the quality and quantity of latex,' he said. Mohamad Suparadi said the country's rubber industry remained relevant despite challenges following the announcement of the US tariffs and that MRC and that the MRC and the government were constantly seeking ways to improve exports, particularly in terms of quality. Last Saturday, Bernama reported that the Malaysian rubber market was expected to remain subdued the following week due to a prevailing bias towards weaker demand. Industry expert Denis Low said there appeared to be some volatility in the rubber market, with prices and demand moving like a pendulum.
