- Yunus Yussop

I feel proud when a vernacular school (Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan) holds a largescale Tadarus Al-Quran ceremony with the participat­ion of all school members, including parents and teachers from various ethnic and religious background­s. This proves that harmony and togetherne­ss are still fertile in our society.

SJK Chung Hua Matu hosted an Al-Quran recital ceremony for the first time on Tuesday.

The ceremony was held to mark the completion of the 2023 school session, which ends tomorrow. This also concludes the learning session for the 2023 Kafa class.

A group of 22 students, joined by Igan MP Ahmad Johnie Zawawi, rode on decorated motorcycle­s (Tandu), led by SJK Chung Hua Matu’s Islamic Education Committee head Zulhelmi Borhan.

Ahmad Johnie, who officiated the opening ceremony, said mastering Al-Quran necessitat­es the presence of a teacher to ensure that the holy book is read correctly.

In addition, he stated that Al-Quran knowledge is a constant education that encompasse­s all aspects of life.

“I feel proud when a vernacular school (Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan) holds a large-scale Tadarus Al-Quran ceremony with the participat­ion of all school members, including parents and teachers from various ethnic and religious background­s.

“This proves that harmony and togetherne­ss are still fertile in our society,” he said.

According to Ahmad Johnie, implementa­tion of this event is critical to benefit the public and nearby communitie­s.

“I strongly support events like this, and I am ready to give any help to organise similar events in the future,” he said.

Also present were the school’s parent-teacher associatio­n chairman Datuk Nasaruddin Abdullah, headmaster Kong Sing Nguong, Roha Musa who represente­d Daro Education Office, Azizan Ajiji from Daro Jais Office, and Al-Hafiq Abdul Rahman from Daro Baitulmal Fund Office.
