The Department of Environment allocates RM100,000 for two sustainability projects at SK Kampung Tun Razak under the MADANI Adopted School initiative
MELAKA: The Department of Environment (DOE) has allocated RM100,000 to implement two projects under the MADANI Adopted School initiative at SK Kampung Tun Razak in Bukit Katil.
Director-General Datuk Wan Abdul Latiff Wan Jaffar said the funds will support the Green House and Aquaponics Facility Project and the Digitalisation of the School Resource Centre Project.
“The school was selected because it is already sustainability-oriented, and we hope these programmes will further strengthen environmental stewardship among the school community,” he said after officiating the launch of SAM and the Guidelines for Implementing and Assessing Sustainable Schools – Environmental Award.
Wan Abdul Latiff said the new SLAAS guidelines will serve as the official reference for the 2025/2026 SLAAS cycle.
He revealed that as of November 25, a total of 1,598 schools have registered for SLAAS.
DOE aims for a 30% participation rate from the country’s 10,220 schools.
“This effort is intended to expand school involvement in mainstreaming sustainable practices and make every school an agent of environmental change,” Wan Abdul Latiff said.
In a statement, DOE noted that SAM is a Finance Ministry initiative supported by the Ministry of Education.
The programme provides RM100,000 to each selected school for sustainability projects in line with set guidelines.
SK Kampung Tun Razak is the 16th school in Melaka to benefit from the programme. – Bernama
