KUALA LUMPUR – A total of 72 schools in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor have been granted permission to implement Home-Based Teaching and Learning (PdPR) from October 27 to 28, in conjunction with the 47th Asean Summit.
Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek explained that the decision was made as these schools are situated along the routes used to transport foreign delegates and leaders attending the summit, local media reported.
“The learning process will proceed as usual in the PdPR format, meaning it will involve the teachers and our children in those 72 schools,” she said during a press conference following the Anti-Bullying Town Hall Session: #GenerasiTanpaBuli (Generation Without Bullying), with student representatives under the Education Ministry (MoE).
The 47th ASEAN Summit, set to take place in Kuala Lumpur this October, will bring together world leaders from the United States, China, India, Australia, Canada, Brazil, South Africa, Japan, Korea, and ASEAN member states.
Addressing reports regarding MoE’s record number of delayed critical projects under the 12th Malaysia Plan (RMK12), Fadhlina confirmed that she had reviewed the Auditor-General’s Report (LKAN) 3/2025 and plans to address the matter in Parliament tomorrow.
“We take note of the LKAN, and tomorrow, I will respond in Parliament regarding the issues raised,” she said.
Fadhlina added that the issues highlighted in the report would be properly addressed in Parliament.
According to media reports, KPM recorded the highest number of delayed projects under RMK12, with a total of 46 projects.
Overall, the LKAN identified 157 government projects as being behind schedule (“sick” projects) as of December 31, 2024, across 18 ministries. — October 6, 2025
