Lowering Year One entry age feasible if schools and teachers are properly prepared, say experts - Sinardaily - 21/01 5:18 pm SHAH ALAM - Adequate teacher numbers and classroom capacity must be the Education Ministrys top priorities as Malaysia prepares to allow children to enter Year One at the age of six, education experts say, warning that the policy will only succeed if schools are properly equipped to support younger learners.Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) education expert Dr Anuar Ahmad said he supports the proposal to lower the Year One entry age, provided teaching approaches, curriculum design and school infrastructure are adjusted to suit six-year-olds, with the final decision left to parents.The learning methods and classroom strategies used for six-year-olds need to be adjusted accordingly.This makes retraining essential, so teachers are equipped with the skills to manage younger pupils alongside seven-year-olds in the same classroom, he told Sinar Daily.He said there is still time for meaningful preparation before implementation, including retraining teachers to understand behavioural differences and adapt teaching techniques.Anuar also stressed that the curriculum must be reviewed and tested through pilot studies to ensure it is developmentally appropriate for younger pupils.The curriculum itself must be reviewed, with pilot studies conducted to ensure it is suitable for children aged six |

Senior Malaysian Armed Forces officer files defamation suit against Chegubard - Sinardaily - 21/01 4:17 pm KUALA LUMPUR - A senior Malaysian Armed Forces officer, vice admiral Datuk Sabri Zali, has filed a defamation lawsuit against political activist Badrul Hisham Shaharin, known as Chegubard.The suit, filed today at the High Court in Kuala Lumpur, stems from the defendant's failure to respond to a letter of demand to retract the allegedly defamatory statements."Vice admiral Datuk Sabri has never been charged, convicted, or found guilty of any corruption, abuse of power, or misconduct as alleged by the defendant."These baseless accusations are capable of misleading public perception of his service as a senior military officer," Sabris lawyer, Muhamad Firdaus Jumaludin, told reporters at the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex.The statement of claim alleges that, from July 2024 to December 2025, the defendant repeatedly published material on social media accusing the plaintiff of corruption, abuse of power, and a lack of integrity, thereby portraying him as unfit for high office in the Armed Forces.Sabri, who is also the president of the National Defence Education Centre, asserts that all accusations are false, baseless, and defamatory, made without any court judgment, prosecution, or official confirmation from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission or any other authority.He said the defendant has acknowledged that the allegations are based on documents obtained from an unknown source, without any proper verification process.He further claims the defendant openly admitted an intent to sabotage his appointment as Navy Chief, proving the publications were made with malice and not in the public interest.Consequently, he is seeking a declaration that the statements are defamatory, an injunction to prevent further publication, and appropriate damages for the injury to his reputation, dignity, and professional standing |

Centralised learning assessments to improve pupils' performance - Experts - Sinardaily - 21/01 11:43 am KUALA LUMPUR - The governments move to introduce learning assessments in primary and secondary schools under the Malaysian Learning Matrix is seen as a pragmatic and timely intervention to strengthen pupils learning.The Year Four Learning Assessment will be implemented this year, while the Form Three Learning Assessment is scheduled to begin in 2027.Malaysian Inclusive Development and Advancement Institute, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (MINDA UKM) deputy director Dr Anuar Ahmad said the centralised assessments conducted by the Examination Board at primary and secondary levels are an effective way to monitor pupils progress and evaluate their mastery of basic skills."This initiative is recommended because assessment in Year Four allows fundamental competencies such as reading, writing, numeracy, reasoning, and critical thinking to be evaluated early. Once results are obtained, interventions can be implemented in Years Five and Six."This provides a two-year window to strengthen pupils foundational skills so they are better prepared when transitioning to secondary school, he told Bernama.He added that the approach could also address weaknesses in the previous system, which relied heavily on Classroom Assessment (PBD), resulting in some pupils entering Form One without solid foundational skills.Anuar also described the introduction of centralised assessments at Form Three as an early intervention to help identify pupils strengths and aptitudes in choosing suitable streams, whether science, arts, or technical and vocational."These assessments allow pupils to receive guidance and support tailored to their academic abilities before they sit for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination, he said.When launching the National Education Blueprint (RPN) 2026-2035 yesterday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the Year Four Learning Measurement will cover four core subjects: Bahasa Melayu, English, Mathematics and Science, while the Form Three Learning Measurement will cover five subjects: Bahasa Melayu, English, Mathematics, Science and History.According to Anwar, both assessments will be centrally administered by the Examination Board as part of efforts to build a more comprehensive national education assessment system focused on students mastery of learningMeanwhile, senior lecturer at the Faculty of Education, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Dr Siti Sabihah Ghazali, described the move as a progressive approach to improving the national education system more effectively."This initiative is a positive step by the government as it aligns with the current state of the education system and addresses global education needs holistically, she said.Faculty of Education lecturer at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Prof Dr Salleh Amat, also described it as a positive step to ensure long-term education effectiveness, noting that comprehensive stakeholder engagement had been carried out prior to the plans announcement.However, he said the government should provide more detailed information on the aspects that will be measured and assessed through the matrix to ensure that teachers and parents understand its implementation, while avoiding unnecessary stress for teachers and pupils."I believe assessment in Year Four and Form Three is appropriate, as it allows early intervention if pupils weaknesses are identified."During the initial stages, implementation may raise concerns among teachers, but this can be addressed through clear communication and effective support systems, he said |

Inside the Shah Alam childcare centre abuse allegations: What we know so far - Sinardaily - 21/01 11:12 am The childcare sector in Malaysia is currently facing intense scrutiny following a series of distressing reports involving Al Kauthar Eduqids (AKE), a prominent Islamic-themed preschool and childcare franchise.Public concern escalated rapidly after digital evidence surfaced on social media, prompting immediate calls for transparency and a thorough investigation into the safety protocols of private early childhood education centres across the country.What triggered public concern?Videos allegedly showing the mistreatment of children at a childcare centre in Shah Alam recently went viral on social media, sparking widespread outrage and urgent calls for authorities to investigate.The footage, which circulated primarily on Instagram, purportedly shows a child believed to be on the autism spectrum being confined inside what appeared to be a storage room, as well as a baby crying while being forced to drink milk.The videos were first shared by social media influencer Ariz Ramli, better known as Caprice, through his Munafik Hunter platform.Who exposed the videos and how?According to Caprice, the videos were sent to him by an individual who claimed to be a trainee at the childcare centre |

Children entering Year One at age six to complete schooling at 16 Ministry - Sinardaily - 21/01 9:47 am KUALA LUMPUR - Children entering Year One early at the age of six (5+), starting from the 2027 session, are expected to complete upper secondary education at 16, according to the Education Ministry (MOE).In its Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document, the ministry explained that these pupils will not remain in Year One for two years, but will instead follow the existing education structure of six years in primary school and five years in secondary school."Pupils will undergo five years of secondary education and complete upper secondary education at the age of 16 (15+), according to the document prepared by the MOEs Education Policy Planning and Research Division.However, the MOE stressed that early admission is a voluntary option for parents and is not compulsory and depends entirely on the readiness of children who have attended preschool at the age of five and passed the prescribed diagnostic screening.To ensure that learning quality is not compromised, the MOE has prepared the 2027 School Curriculum, which is tailored to pupils cognitive levels, including those who may not have attended preschool, to enable them to master basic skills effectively.In terms of infrastructure preparedness, the ministry plans to construct additional classrooms using the Industrialised Building System (IBS) method to meet pupils needs nationwide.The MOE is also committed to ensuring a sufficient supply of teachers through various training channels, including the Bachelor of Education Programme (PISMP), the Postgraduate Diploma in Education Programme (PDPP), as well as appointments under the Contract of Service (COS).The early entry policy is part of the flexibility of the national education system to provide opportunities for children who achieve academic readiness earlier to begin formal schooling before the usual age of seven |

Student vaping rises despite vape control act - Sinardaily - 21/01 9:24 am Most new-generation synthetic drugs are specifically designed to evade existing toxicology kits."When vaping is normalised, it lowers teenagers psychological barriers to trying other substances through the same channel.
