  "summary": "Sabah teacher Lorenica Frenila Masundim is using the Jawi script to bridge cultural and religious differences among her students in Beluran. For Lorenica, teaching Jawi is not just about writing but fostering understanding across racial, religious, and cultural differences. She has developed an application called PANtaS baCA Jawi to help students learn the script more easily, combining transliteration techniques and interactive exercises. Lorenica's dedication to promoting the Jawi script has earned her several awards, including the IMTIYAZ MURABBI Award: Jawi Cross-Cultural Inspiration Teacher 2025 and Sabah Education Excellence Award 2025.",
