Keselamatan Psikologi Sekolah, Psikososial dan Fizikal Adalah Sama Penting

Apabila berlaku insiden keganasan di sekolah, reaksi pertama masyarakat biasanya tertumpu kepada keselamatan fizikal. Mereka akan bertanya bagaimana senjata boleh dibawa masuk, di mana pengawal keselamatan, adakah CCTV mencukupi, dan apakah prosedur kawalan pintu masuk sekolah. Soalan-soalan ini sememangnya wajar dan penting. Namun, jika keselamatan sekolah hanya difahami sebagai isu pagar, pintu, pengawal dan kamera, kita mungkin terlepas dimensi yang lebih mendalam, iaitu keselamatan psikologi dan psikososial.

Limiting the Prime Minister’s Tenure: A Necessity or a Choice?

On 2 March 2026, the Dewan Rakyat considered at second reading the Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2026, which sought to impose an aggregate maximum of ten years on the tenure of any person as Prime Minister, whether served continuously or otherwise. The Bill failed to secure the constitutionally required majority, falling two votes short of the 148-vote threshold. In the voting session, 146 members voted in favour, 44 abstained and 32 were absent. Under Article 159(3) of the Federal Constitution, a constitutional amendment must generally be supported at both the Second and Third Readings by not less than two-thirds of the total membership of each House of Parliament.
