Johor education and information committee chairman Aznan Tamin announced a new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) with several key components designed to enhance child safety:
This comprehensive SOP aims to prevent similar tragedies and underscores the shared responsibility of schools, van operators, and parents in ensuring the safety and welfare of schoolchildren.

Kuala Lumpur International Book Fair 2025
Date: May 23rd - June 1st, 2025
Time: 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM
Location: World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL)
How to get there:
Big news for students, parents, and teachers in certain parts of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor! The Ministry of Education (KPM) has just announced that 71 schools in these areas will be implementing home-based teaching and learning (PdPR) from May 26th to May 28th, 2025.
This temporary shift is happening in conjunction with the 46th ASEAN Summit, which will lead to various road closures and heightened security measures. KPM's decision to allow PdPR for these schools is a smart move to ensure that student learning isn't disrupted by the logistical challenges of the summit. It's all about making sure education continues smoothly, even with major events happening in the city.
If your child attends one of the affected schools, or if you're a teacher or school staff member, you'll want to stay tuned to your respective school's official communication channels. That's where you'll get all the detailed information about how PdPR will be carried out for these three days.
So, get ready to adjust your routines slightly and embrace the flexibility of learning from home for a few days. It's a small change that helps keep things running smoothly for everyone!
