Zahid Hamidi Pays Tribute to KEMAS Educators at 2026 Educators Day Celebration

KUALA LUMPUR, June 9 — Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has expressed his appreciation to KEMAS educators nationwide for their dedication and contributions in shaping Malaysia’s future generations, describing them as the backbone of early childhood education in the country. Speaking at the 2026 KEMAS Educators Day Celebration themed “55 Years Smartening the Nation’s Children”, Zahid highlighted the significant role played by KEMAS teachers in nurturing young minds and instilling strong moral values among children. He said that three years ago, KEMAS embarked on a mission to ensure that children under its care would not only learn literacy and numeracy skills but also receive a strong foundation in Quranic teachings, moral values and personal identity. “Today, we can witness the positive results of that effort. The KEMAS Pre-Tahfiz Programme has become an integral part of the early education culture within KEMAS centres throughout the country,” he said. Zahid noted that the success of the programme would not have been possible without the commitment, patience and sincerity demonstrated by KEMAS educators in guiding and educating children. He said KEMAS has served as the starting point of educational journeys for more than 8.4 million Malaysian children over the past 55 years, making it one of the nation’s most important grassroots educational institutions. “The true strength of KEMAS is not measured by numbers alone, but by the dedication of its educators who build confidence, shape character and instil noble values in young children who will one day become leaders, professionals and contributors to the nation,” he said. Zahid also extended his gratitude to all KEMAS educators for their sacrifices and unwavering service, urging them to continue inspiring children through education and positive guidance. He expressed hope that KEMAS would continue producing knowledgeable, well-mannered and Quranic-minded generations capable of leading Malaysia towards greater progress and prosperity in the future. The annual celebration recognises the contributions of KEMAS educators across the country and commemorates the agency’s 55-year legacy in providing quality early childhood education and community development programmes. -- MINUTESMY -- SOURCE: FB ZAHID HAMIDI
