MAIK Provides Additional Allocation Of RM2 Million To YIK This Year
KOTA BHARU, April 30 (Bernama) -- The Kelantan Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIK) has channelled an additional RM2 million in financial assistance to the Kelantan Islamic Foundation (YIK) this year to support the state's Islamic education agenda. The Tengku Temenggong of Kelantan, Tengku Tan Sri Mohamad Rizam Tengku Abdul Aziz, who is MAIK president, said the additional allocation was provided in response to financial constraints faced by YIK, amid economic uncertainty and rising inflation affecting its ability to deliver quality services to students. He said MAIK had allocated RM2.5 million to YIK, covering, among other things, teachers' emoluments and related activities. 'MAIK has agreed to increase the financial allocation to YIK by another RM2 million, bringing the total assistance to RM4.5 million for this year,' he said at an event with YIK Maahad Tahfiz students here today. He said the additional financial assistance was to cover food and beverage expenses at Maahad Tahfiz YIK and Maahad Sains Tok Guru. A total of RM29 million in aid allocations have been channelled to YIK since 2014, he said, adding that MAIK also allocated funds for building repairs and the purchase of furniture for schools and hostels, with over RM18 million spent for the purpose since 2016. At the event, MAIK received contribution in the form of 'zakat wakalah' from Pelaburan Hartanah Berhad, to be channelled to eligible and needy YIK students. In another development, Tengku Mohamad Rizam said MAIK would channel appropriate assistance to victims involved in the fire in Kampung Kijang two days ago. A total of 31 victims from eight families were made homeless after eight houses were destroyed in the fire.

Kelantan Govt Orders Yik Schools To Tighten Dorm Rules To Curb Misconduct
KOTA BHARU, April 24 (Bernama) -- The Kelantan government has directed all schools under the Yayasan Islam Kelantan (YIK) to strengthen and revise their dormitory regulations to prevent disciplinary misconduct that could lead to student injuries. State Education, Higher Learning, Green Technology, Digital and Innovation Committee chairman Datuk Wan Roslan Wan Hamat said the move is to ensure that incidents such as playing with firecrackers in school areas, particularly in dormitories, which could lead to injuries, do not recur. "Dormitory rules already exist, but we need to strengthen and tighten them further. Schools must also carry out more frequent spot checks, especially during festive seasons. "The recent case at a religious school in Jeli was an isolated one, out of 30,000 students, only one committed such an offence. However, it still warrants attention, as it resulted in permanent disability for the student involved," he told a press conference after the announcement of the 2024 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination results for YIK schools at the YIK Office in Tunjong here today. On March 24, a student at a religious school in Jeli lost part of his left finger, resulting in permanent disability, while two of his friends sustained injuries after allegedly playing with modified firecrackers. Meanwhile, Wan Roslan said 192 candidates under YIK obtained between 9As and 12As in the 2024 SPM, with 80 of them achieving straight As in all subjects. "In terms of percentage, the full pass rate for the 2024 SPM was 97.50 per cent compared to 96.65 per cent in 2023, showing an increase of 0.86 per cent. Based on a detailed analysis, 42 schools recorded a 100 per cent pass rate. "According to the School Average Grade (GPS), the top-performing schools were Maahad Tahfiz Al-Quran Darul Saadah, Maahad Tahfiz Al-Quran Wal Qiraat, and Maahad Sains Tok Guru," he said. -- BERNAMA
