KUANTAN, July 5\u00a0\u00a0— Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM)\u00a0is ready to continue the\u00a0educational television program, TV Pendidikan,\u00a0even after schools\u00a0reopen, said Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the matter had to be decided by the Ministry of Education (MOE) as RTM only provided the broadcast platform via Okey TV for two hours daily starting April 6 after schools were forced to be closed following the COVID-19 outbreak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The idea of TV Pendidikan\u00a0will continue because even though schools have been reopened, the\u00a0need for educational broadcast\u00a0still exists. In fact,\u00a0the idea of establishing the\u00a0TV program\u00a0is already there, even before COVID-19,” he told a press conference after the tabling of Indera Mahkota MP report card\u00a0here today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KKMM and MOE\u00a0have collaborated to air\u00a0TV Pendidikan\u00a0program to enable students to access learning materials other than online learning during the Movement Control Order (MCO) period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior Minister (Education) Dr Mohd Radzi Md Jidin on July 1, announced that schools would reopen in stages starting July 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said among the people-friendly projects that had been carried out\u00a0were the repairing\u00a0of roads at five locations, the repairing\u00a0and upgrading of facilities such as public hall, fishermen’s center, school,\u00a0and sports court\u00a0as well as maintenance and cleaning works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, it also involved a special project to upgrade public facilities at Taman Bandar here, repairing escalators at Kuantan Central Terminal and pump installation at Semambu Water Treatment Plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saifuddin also said that the tender for the upgrading work of Jalan Bukit Pengorak at a cost of RM250 million would be called soon while works involving Jalan Sungai Ular to Chendor would be included in the 12th Malaysia Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have also spent RM450,000 for\u00a0COVID-19\u00a0aid,\u00a0involving over 4,000 recipients,\u00a0including the handing over of food baskets, milk, and\u00a0disposable diapers, face masks and disinfectants as well as\u00a0food packages to frontliners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have also spent RM300,000 on the purchase of hospital beds and wheelchairs as well as repairing 13 homes and providing cash aid to 1,040 recipients,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For operating expenditure, Saifuddin said it involved the implementation of programs\u00a0or activities for 16 secondary schools, primary schools (30), registered tahfiz centers (five), mosques and surau\u00a0(40), temples (four), non-governmental organizations (15) and associations (73).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, allocations\u00a0have also been channeled\u00a0to strengthen education in Indera Mahkota including\u00a0programs of excellence and\u00a0increasing English proficiency, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the period up to May next year, Saifuddin said various programs would be implemented including empowering the\u00a0‘IMFutures’ program,\u00a0introducing Pusat e-Dakwah, and setting up a center for arts and culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
