EC Channels RM100,000 To SMKA Segamat Under MADANI Adopted School Programme
PUTRAJAYA, July 30 (Bernama) -- The Election Commission (EC) today presented an allocation of RM100,000 to Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama (SMKA) Segamat, Johor, under the 2025 MADANI Adopted School programme. Its secretary, Datuk Khairul Shahril Idrus said the programme was implemented following its national-level launch by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on June 20. He said the programme would serve as a catalyst for enhancing the delivery of quality, inclusive and progressive education, in line with the government's aspiration to nurture a future generation that is competitive, knowledgeable and morally upright. 'Through the allocation channelled, students and educators will not only benefit from learning facilities that are more modern and interactive, they will also have the opportunity to improve academic performance and personal development. 'At the same time, the implementation of the adopted school programme reflects the EC's social responsibility and our commitment to collaborate with various parties in developing a sustainable and holistic national education ecosystem,' he said in a statement here today. Khairul Shahril said the school and representatives from the Parent-Teacher Association (PIBG) had presented various requirements in terms of physical infrastructure, ICT facilities, and the development of both teachers and students during a meeting with the EC in May. Based on the allocation provided, the EC has approved several key initiatives covering four main components, including curriculum development through the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) and Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) academic programmes for students. Other components include the 'Towards STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)' programme with an allocation of RM31,000, and character and co-curricular development activities such as leadership camp and hadith appreciation programme totalling RM12,000. The allocation will also go towards teacher professionalism development through the digital in-service training programme amounting to RM5,000, as well as ICT needs, namely the provision of two interactive whiteboards for teaching and learning (PdP), and 50 tablets for students, totalling RM52,000.

RM100 SARA aid requires no registration, public warned of scams
GEORGE TOWN — The Ministry of Finance (MOF) has urged the public to be cautious of fraudulent attempts linked to the one-off RM100 cash assistance under the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (SARA). Deputy Finance Minister Lim Hui Ying said the assistance does not require any application or registration, as it will be credited directly to all eligible MyKad holders aged 18 and above starting Aug 31. 'We have received numerous inquiries about how to register for the RM100 SARA assistance. There have also been complaints about fake links and messages claiming that registration is required to receive the aid. These claims are false and highly dangerous. Do not click on any such links — they are scams,' she warned. 'I want to stress that there is no need to apply or register for the RM100 assistance, as it will be automatically credited to recipients' MyKad. So, there's no cause for concern – everyone aged 18 and above will receive it. Only if they do not receive it after Aug 31 will we take further action and inform them accordingly,' she said. Lim, who is also the Member of Parliament for Tanjong, said this to reporters after officiating the Penang Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) Reference Book Launch and the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) Chinese Language and Moral Education Answering Techniques Workshop here today. On July 23, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced several major initiatives under the MADANI Government, including one-off RM100 cash assistance under the SARA initiative, the postponement of toll rate hikes on 10 highways, and a fuel price cut for RON95 to RM1.99 per litre. Meanwhile, Lim said the government is also open to considering the inclusion of wet goods such as chicken, meat, and fish under SARA. However, she noted that this would require thorough study, including gathering feedback from all stakeholders, particularly SARA recipients. 'We continue to listen to feedback and suggestions regarding the list of items under SARA. There have been proposals to include wet goods such as fish, meat, and chicken. We will monitor and assess the situation, and when the time is right and if deemed necessary, we will consider expanding the list,' she said. She said that on May 1, the government expanded the SARA initiative to include household cleaning products, such as laundry detergent, floor cleaner, and dishwashing liquid, in addition to the existing categories covering basic food items, medicines, school supplies, and personal hygiene products. The inclusion of these new items increased the number of eligible product categories from 13 to 14, covering a total of 90,000 types of goods. This decision was based on feedback received during the implementation SARA early this year. — BERNAMA
