  "account": "Kota Bharu, Nov 1 — Attorney General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar asserts that the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) extends its influence beyond legal matters, engaging actively in community outreach to aid the public, he stated during the AGC Madani Adopted School Programme launch at SK Pasir Hor. The AGC's participation in the initiative exemplifies its dedication to contributing its expertise and assistance to society, particularly in addressing educational infrastructure necessities. When questioned about the involvement of government agencies in such endeavours, the AGC chief emphasized, \"We cannot just sit in the office. We must descend to the grassroots to provide aid. I believe this merits spiritual rewards, as encouraged in Islam.\" At the event, a RM100,000 government grant funded four primary projects aimed at benefiting pupils and educators at the school. These projects encompassed the establishment of a digital hub, a school resource centre TV studio, the enhancement of a meeting hall with new sound equipment, and the construction of a special education facility. The AGC's involvement in the program stems from close coordination with the school administration, aimed at addressing infrastructure needs and prioritising students' well-being. Mohd Dusuki also highlighted the AGC's intention to contribute to legal awareness, character development, and the cultivation of integrity among students from an early age. He hoped that this initiative would alleviate teachers' burdens in nurturing students' moral character and producing a generation that excels academically and possesses strong moral fortitude.",
