KUALA LUMPUR: Jabatan Kemajuan Masyarakat (KEMAS) telah menggerakkan misi sukarelawan bagi membantu mangsa yang terkesan akibat bencana banjir yang berlaku di seluruh negara.

Menteri Pembangunan Luar Bandar Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid menerusi kenyataan yang dikeluarkan hari ini berkata, seramai 1,256 sukarelawan membabitkan kakitangan dan pegawainya akan memberi bantuan kepada mangsa selama tiga hari bermula hari ini.

“Kita menggerakkan inisiatif bantuan ini bukan hanya untuk kerja-kerja pembersihan premis-premis Tabika dan Taska KEMAS yang terjejas dilanda bencana banjir, tetapi juga di rumah-rumah berhampiran.

“Kita harap dengan bantuan yang digerakkan ini akan membolehkan premis-premis Tabika dan Taska KEMAS dapat bersedia menerima kemasukan anak-anak kerana tidak lama lagi sesi persekolahan akan bermula," katanya dalam kenyataan tersebut.

Jelasnya setakat ini 207 premis Tabika, Taska dan Pusat Kegiatan KEMAS di seluruh negara sudah dikenalpasti terjejas akibat banjir yang melanda.

Consider This: Teens, Tech & Trust (Part 2) — Building Digital Resilience

In Malaysia, 75% of teenagers use social media daily—but with this constant connection comes a growing number of risks. A new report by the think tank SERI titled ‘Teens, Tech, and Trust’ reveals that fewer than half of Malaysian teens feel safe online— with cyberbullying, scams, and hacking being everyday realities. Meanwhile, questions are being raised about whether schools, parents, and even social media platforms are doing enough to protect our young digital citizens. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Dr Benjamin Loh, senior lecturer at Taylor’s University School of Media and Communication and director of the Impact Lab for Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.
