'We cannot just sit in the office': AGC not confined to legal matters, actively engages with community, says AG

KOTA BHARU, Nov 1 — The Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) is not confined to handling legal affairs, but is also committed to community outreach to assist the public, says Attorney General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar.

He said the AGC’s participation in the Madani Adopted School Programme reflects its commitment to contributing expertise and support to society, particularly in meeting educational infrastructure needs.

He noted that certain quarters had questioned the involvement of government agencies in such initiatives, including raising the matter in Parliament.

“We cannot just sit in the office. We also need to go down to the ground to help the community. I believe this earns spiritual rewards, and it is encouraged in Islam,” he said when speaking at the launch of the AGC Madani Adopted School Programme at SK Pasir Hor here today.

Under the programme, a RM100,000 government allocation was used to carry out physical and digital upgrades at the school, with four key projects completed for the benefit of pupils and teachers.

The projects comprise the development of the Puan Sri Nik Karthini Resource Centre Digital Hub, the setting up of the School Resource Centre TV Studio, the upgrading of Dewan Aspirasi with the installation of 12 industrial fans and a new sound system, and the construction of Anjung Dusuki for Special Education Integrated Programme (PPKI) pupils.

Mohd Dusuki said the projects were implemented through close cooperation between the AGC and the school administration following several coordination meetings to identify infrastructure needs and prioritise pupils’ welfare.

He added that the programme reflects the government’s aim to ensure national development is not confined to urban centres, but is also felt by grassroots communities.

Meanwhile, Mohd Dusuki said the AGC also intends to contribute through knowledge sharing on legal awareness, character building, and instilling values of integrity among pupils from an early age.

He hoped the initiative would help ease the burden on teachers in shaping students’ character and producing a generation that not only excels academically, but also possesses moral strength.

He also urged SK Pasir Hor pupils to make full use of the new facilities, study diligently, and follow the advice of their teachers and parents.

Also present were Education Ministry Deputy Director-General (Professional Development Sector) Datuk Amzan Abd Malek and Kelantan Education Department director Siti Norina Muhamad. — Bernama

哥打巴鲁，11月1日讯——总检察署署长丹斯里莫哈末杜苏基·莫克塔尔表示，总检察署不仅处理法律事务，还致力于社区服务，以帮助公众。

他表示，AGC参与Madani领养学校计划体现了其致力于为社会贡献专业知识和支持，尤其是在满足教育基础设施需求方面。

他指出，某些方面对政府机构参与此类举措提出质疑，甚至在议会中提出了这个问题。

“我们不能只是坐在办公室里。我们也需要深入基层，帮助社区。我相信这样做会带来精神上的回报，而且伊斯兰教也鼓励这样做。”他今天在吉隆坡巴西霍尔小学举行的AGC Madani助养学校计划启动仪式上发表讲话时说道。

根据该计划，政府拨款 10 万令吉用于学校的硬件和数字升级，其中四个重点项目已完成，造福了学生和教师。

这些项目包括：建设 Puan Sri Nik Karthini 资源中心数字中心；建立学校资源中心电视演播室；升级 Dewan Aspirasi，安装 12 台工业风扇和一套新的音响系统；以及为特殊教育融合计划 (PPKI) 学生建造 Anjung Dusuki。

莫哈末·杜苏基表示，这些项目是在AGC和学校管理部门密切合作下实施的，此前双方举行了多次协调会议，以确定基础设施需求并优先考虑学生的福利。

他还补充说，该计划体现了政府的目标，即确保国家发展不仅限于城市中心，而且也能惠及基层社区。

与此同时，莫哈末·杜苏基表示，总检察署也打算通过分享法律意识、品格塑造以及从小向学生灌输诚信价值观等方面的知识来做出贡献。

他希望这项举措能够减轻教师在塑造学生品格方面的负担，培养出一代不仅学业优异，而且拥有高尚道德品质的学生。

他还敦促巴西霍尔小学的学生们充分利用新设施，认真学习，并听从老师和家长的建议。
