Reject Physical And Emotional Bullying - Kedah Sultan

ALOR SETAR, Aug 19 (Bernama) -- The Sultan of Kedah, Al-Aminul Karim Sultan Sallehuddin Sultan Badlishah, has called on all parties to reject immoral acts and practices such as bullying, whether physical or emotional, which can cause harm.

His Royal Highness stated that all parties must foster a culture of kindness and mutual respect and oppose bullying, especially among students, to develop noble character and continue to excel in the future.

The Kedah Ruler said this at the 2025 Haflu Takrim Al Mutafawwiqin (Excellence Awards Ceremony) of the Maktab Mahmud Kedah Board, here today.

Sultan Sallehuddin said that success should be measured by academic accomplishments and having commendable character and noble values.

“I am very pleased to celebrate students who have achieved excellence in academics, co-curricular activities, and character growth in 2024. I am proud of the progress and latest achievements of students from Maktab Mahmud Kedah and Maahad Tahfiz Sains Darul Aman.

“Your hard work and dedication in the pursuit of knowledge have led to success and outstanding results. To parents and teachers, I extend my highest appreciation for your guidance and support,” the Sultan said.

Sultan Sallehuddin said the guidance and support are vital in shaping young people of quality and noble character, but warned that the responsibility should not be solely assigned to schools and teachers.

“Parents, families, communities, and various other institutions must share the responsibility and work together to support teachers and schools. Knowledge is key to progress.

“Continue your pursuit of knowledge, not only in school, but throughout your life. Strive to be knowledgeable, well-rounded individuals who are always ready to serve your religion, nation, and country,” said the Ruler.
