Anwar approves another RM4.6mil for Islamic institutions in Penang
The prime minister says it will be used to upgrade basic infrastructure at 27 Islamic educational institutions, including madrasahs, schools and tahfiz academies.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has allocated an additional RM4.6 million for upgrading infrastructure at 27 Islamic educational institutions across Penang this year. This is an increase from the RM2.11 million provided last year for 11 institutions in the state. The allocation will be used for various construction projects, including new kindergarten buildings, and upgrades for madrasahs, schools, and tahfiz academies.
Anwar emphasized that the government will continue to support religious schools and Islamic educational institutions to enhance religious education facilities nationwide. He also highlighted the importance of integrating technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI), in Quranic and Islamic studies, but stressed that technology must be guided by strong moral principles.
The prime minister encouraged the public to leverage the country's freedom to organize more religious programs, such as Quran classes and religious talks, to deepen understanding and appreciation of Islam.
