KUALA LUMPUR, June 4 β€” Her Majesty Raja Zarith Sofiah, Queen of Malaysia, today presented a RM30,000 cheque contribution to Sekolah Bimbingan Jalinan Kasih (SBJK) here.

The donation was bestowed during Her Majesty's visit to the school as part of celebrations marking the official birthday of His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, the King of Malaysia.

Receiving Her Majesty on arrival were Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, the wife of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek and Education Ministry secretary-general Datuk Wan Hashim Wan Rahim.

Her Majesty was presented with a traditional dance performance by SBJK students and took the opportunity to view their handicrafts and engage with teachers and pupils.

Earlier, Wan Hashim said in his speech that SBJK, which began operations in 2013, was established as a Ministry of Education initiative to provide vulnerable children in the Chow Kit area with access to quality education, to break the cycle of poverty and improve their quality of life.

β€œSBJK currently has 16 teachers and 158 pupils, ranging from preschool to secondary level,” he said, adding that the school had recorded commendable results in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination, with consistent improvements in performance since 2014 and a 100 per cent pass rate between 2022 and 2025.

β€œFor the 2025 SPM examination, all 10 candidates from the school passed,” he said.

He said the school had also implemented the Zero Undocumented Students Programme (Zamrud) to ensure that all pupils possess valid identification documents.

The initiative was carried out in collaboration with the National Registration Department (JPN) through the Mekar Didik programme (designed to resolve documentation issues for students who lack essential identification), resulting in 61 pupils successfully obtaining their identification documents, he added. β€” Bernama

    Having deleted several cartoons, both strips and political, that referred to Dear Leader’s now-moribund slush fund, it was a surprise to find a case of coincidental timing that did apply to something in the news. Not that it’s all that encouraging, but these days you have to take whatever you can get. Enough politics: It’s […]
