His Royal Highness added that the special ties between Malaysia and Indonesia should be further reinforced through education, which served as the main catalyst for societal transformation.

“Educating anak bangsa means building a nation that is dignified, resilient, and competitive. To the younger generation, never fear to dream ambitiously. Let knowledge be your weapon and shield in overcoming challenges,” he said.

Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra also conveyed his appreciation to Professor Emeritus Datuk Dr Kamarudin Hussin, chairman of the Faizuddin Centre of Educational Excellence (FCoEE) under the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPs), for his role in enhancing international cooperation networks.
