Students attend anti-drug program in Pahang

A total of 45 students from Years Five and Six at Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Kuala Tahan participated in the Kem Program Intelek Asuhan Rohani (Pintar) 2.0, an event organized by the National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK) Jerantut in Pahang. The program featured interactive talks and activities designed to impart crucial knowledge about the perils of drug abuse.

Mohd Fazil Johari, Head of AADK Jerantut District, and Zaizuzaidi Zainal Abidin, Head of the Prevention Unit at AADK Jerantut, were present to deliver engaging sessions and officially close the program. Azman Abdullah Hashim, the Headmaster of SK Kuala Tahan, emphasized the program's significance in enhancing students' understanding of the dangers and effects of drug misuse.

"Through brainstorming activities, moral education, prayer practices, and interactive talks delivered by AADK staff, students can build life skills and resilience to avoid falling into drug and substance abuse," Azman stated. He expressed the hope that the students who acquired knowledge and skills during the two-day program would be able to guide themselves and others, preventing drug abuse and fostering noble and intellectual individuals.

Hadi Aznan, the Assistant Head of Co-Curriculum, noted the program's positive impact on the Year Five and Six students, who are approaching adolescence and are often exposed to unhealthy environments. He believes the knowledge and skills imparted will help shape their character, instill good values, build self-identity, and raise awareness about the consequences and dangers of drug abuse. Nur Zafirah Mohd Rozaidi, a Year Six student, shared that the program provided her with a deeper understanding of the dangers of drug abuse, expressing satisfaction with the clear explanations from experienced AADK officers.
