JAPEN PENTARAMA TO ENHANCE UNDERSTANDING OF NATIONHOOD

KOTA BHARU, Oct 26 (Bernama) -- The Pentarama X Kelab Malaysiaku programme organised by the Information Department (JaPen) is an informative entertainment initiative to convey a message on nationhood to school students.

Kelantan JaPen director Muhd ​​Aswadi Md Nor said the students' involvement and the way they interacted with the event organisers were very positive, in addition to creating students’ excitement to participate in the programme.

"Programmes like these are also able to provide explanations and understanding of the benefits of implementing policies and initiatives introduced by the government such as Budget 2026 and the ASEAN Chairmanship," he said in a statement today.

Commenting further, Muhd ​​Aswadi said four schools were selected in the programme which lasted for three days starting today, namely Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Sultan Ibrahim 1 and SMK Tendong in Pasir Mas, SMK Cabang Empat, Tumpat and SMK(C) Chung Hwa, Kota Bharu.

"This time the programme involves about 4,000 students from four schools, from Form One to Form Six.

"In fact, in the future we will choose Malaysiaku Clubs of other schools so that the government's message regarding the implementation of its policies continues to be extended to the younger generation who are the country’s next generation leaders," he said.
