'I sincerely hope that the collaborative networks established thus far will continue and be further enhanced in the future for more impactful programmes, for the benefit and progress of us all. 'On behalf of PPPM, I would also like to extend our highest appreciation to our strategic partners who have contributed, especially Istana Negara, the Kelantan government, the Implementation Coordination Unit (ICU), the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), the Kelantan Palace and other parties,' she said in her speech at the 'Majlis Makan Malam bersama Wan Azizah' dinner event here on Wednesday (May 21).

Girl Guides Must Embrace Technology, Says Dr Wan Azizah
KOTA BHARU, May 21 (Bernama) -- Members of the Girl Guides Association Malaysia (PPPM) must harness the latest technological advancements to implement more high-impact programmes that can produce more capable women, youths, and adults who are able to drive change for the benefit of the nation, in line with the association's vision and mission, said its president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail. She said current technological developments such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) have made many daily tasks easier, whether at home, school, or work, through wireless controls and a variety of smart applications now available at our fingertips. The Prime Minister's wife reminded members to use technology with courtesy and discipline. 'More importantly, always be cautious and take the necessary steps to verify information to avoid falling victim to scams or unintentionally spreading false news. 'We cannot blindly believe everything we see and read. I will not stop speaking about this because technology continues to advance rapidly,' she said at the opening of the conference and the 60th Annual General Meeting of the association at the Tok Guru Dato' Bentara Setia Hall, Kota Darulnaim Complex, here today. The events were launched by Her Majesty Raja Zarith Sofiah, Queen of Malaysia. Dr Wan Azizah said new developments and capabilities are being announced every day, and society must be broadly educated so that people are aware and know how to use technology responsibly. 'Artificial intelligence can sometimes deceive us without our realising it, and it can also create negative perceptions when used irresponsibly,' she said. She added that both spoken and written communication are now exposed to the risk of manipulation if one is not vigilant.
