71 schools in Klang Valley can switch to home-based learning
PETALING JAYA: A total of 71 schools in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur have been granted permission to conduct home-based teaching and learning (PdPR) during the Asean Summit from May 26-27, says the Education Ministry. The decision was made in view of road closures and security measures that will be in place during the regional meeting. 'This is to ensure the learning process for students at those schools are not affected. 'Parents, guardians, students, teachers and school staff are advised to refer to the official channels of the respective schools to obtain further information on the implementation of PdPR,' the ministry said in a statement. It added that those involved can draw on their experience with PdPR during the Covid-19 pandemic and other disasters. Public Service Department (PSD) director-general Tan Sri Wan Ahmad Dahlan Abdul Aziz said on Friday that several ministries, departments and government agencies had begun receiving work-from-home (WFH) applications from civil servants in view of the upcoming summit. This came about following the advice of the PSD that civil servants likely to be affected by traffic congestion during the Asean Summit could apply for WFH arrangements. On another matter, Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) chief executive officer Datuk Captain Norazman Mahmud said drones will not be banned in the vicinity of the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre during the Asean Summit. He said aircraft would also be allowed to fly over the area throughout the event. 'Any existing restrictions or flight bans remain in force only in areas officially gazetted and announced through Aeronautical Information Publication documents and Notices to Airmen. 'All parties are advised to refer to these official sources to ensure compliance with current aviation regulations,' he told Bernama. He said CAAM is working closely with security agencies, including the police and air force, to coordinate flight activities in the interest of public safety and security. 'This collaboration is important not only in the context of airspace control, but also in ensuring that every flight operating in Malaysia complies with the stipulated safety regulations,' he added.

Drone operation without permit prohibited during ASEAN Summmit
KUALA LUMPUR: The Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) said any drone operation without a permit is prohibited during the ASEAN Summit at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) on May 26 and 27. Its Chief Executive Officer Datuk Captain Norazman Mahmud said the restrictions or ban on operating drones without a permit remain as per the existing regulations under Section 4 of the Civil Aviation Act 1969 (Act 3), Regulation 98, Regulations 140-144, the Civil Aviation Regulations 2016 and the Civil Aviation Directives (CADs). 'A drone no-fly zone is different from an aircraft no-fly zone, which means any drone operation in the area around KLCC or at any location must first obtain a permit,' he said when contacted today. He said CAAM always works closely with security agencies, including the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) and the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RUAF) for monitoring, controlling and coordinating flight activities involving elements of public safety and order. 'CAAM also collaborates with other government agencies such as the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and the Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia (JUPEM) for any drone flight activities in the country. 'This collaboration is important not only in the context of airspace control, but also to ensure that every flight operating in Malaysia complies with the stipulated safety regulations,' he said. Meanwhile, Norazman said the location of the ASEAN Summit at KLCC is not included in the no-fly zone for aircraft. 'Any restrictions or bans on permanent aircraft flights in the area have been gazetted and officially announced through Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) documents and notices to pilots (NOTAM),' he said.
