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.

KWAP Extends Community Outreach With Santuni MADANI Programme In Kampung Kandis
BACHOK, May 16 (Bernama) -- Kampung Kandis here has been selected for the 'Satu Pemimpin, Satu Kampung' (Santuni MADANI) programme by the Retirement Fund Inc (KWAP), based on its social development needs and potential to empower rural communities through multi-stakeholder collaboration. Kampung Kandis is one of eight villages in Mukim Kandis, which has a total population of about 4,000 residents. Among the initial initiatives carried out under the programme was the handover of a hearse for the use of local residents, as well as the distribution of 100 MyPesara Prihatin packs containing basic necessities to government retirees, the asnaf, and the underprivileged. The hearse was donated through wakalah zakat (tithe) funds, contributed via income tithe payments by KWAP employees to the Federal Territories Islamic Religious Council's Zakat Collection Centre (PPZ-MAIWP). The programme drew more than 500 local residents and featured various activities involving KWAP staff, fostering community spirit, unity and a sense of togetherness. KWAP chief executive officer Datuk Hajah Nik Amlizan Mohamed said that, in addition to social assistance, the agency planned to continue implementing the programme in stages throughout the year, involving strategic collaboration with various parties, including the Kelantan State Education Department, Bachok District Education Office, Universiti Malaysia Kelantan, non-governmental organisations and pensioner associations. 'KWAP views social responsibility as a long-term investment in national development. Such initiatives not only benefit the local community but also strengthen ties between organisations like us and the people, in support of the Malaysia MADANI spirit,' she said. Nik Amlizan also expressed appreciation for the support and cooperation of the village head and school headmasters in the Bachok district, whom she described as key drivers of the programme's success. 'It is hoped that more parties will join in such efforts for mutual benefit,' she said.
