Alliance for a Safe Community chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.

KUALA LUMPUR: Whilst the allocation to bolster assets for the security forces is timely, users safety must be a priority, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.

The Alliance for a Safe Community chairman said Budget 2026 seems aimed at further strengthening enforcement bodies but safety aspects of the assets must be a priority.

"The planned acquisition of various vehicles, including 100 pickup trucks for the police is commendable but it is crucial to ensure the safety of personnel using them.

"The emphasis should not just be on acquiring assets, but also ensuring they are fully equipped for user safety," he said when contacted on Saturday (Oct 11).

Lee also said the funds for building and maintaining quarters for various government personnel, specifically nurses, police and other uniformed services is a great move.

"This is important as previously there was a lack of sufficient budget for maintenance of existing quarters, particularly for police personnel in smaller and even some larger towns.

"I hope that a substantial portion of the allocated funds will be dedicated to the maintenance of these quarters.

Melaka school rape case a wake-up call for stronger moral education, says Lam

KUALA LUMPUR: The recent alleged gang rape incident involving several secondary school students in Melaka should serve as a wake-up call for all stakeholders to intensify efforts in strengthening moral education, student discipline, and school safety mechanisms, said Alliance for a Safe Community chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.

He said the incident reflects a serious moral and disciplinary breakdown that must not be taken lightly, stressing that schools should always be safe spaces that nurture learning, character building and personal development.

"Schools are meant to be safe places for learning and personal growth. That such a serious crime could occur in a classroom setting is totally unacceptable and points to serious lapses in supervision, moral education, and awareness about respect, consent, and proper conduct among students,” he said in a statement on Sunday (Oct 12).

Lee said the incident should serve as a wake-up call for parents, educators and authorities to strengthen the moral and emotional development of young people.

"Beyond academic achievement, greater emphasis must be placed on character building, values education, and understanding of right and wrong,” he said.

He also urged the Education Ministry (MOE) to review school safety procedures, strengthen supervision within school compounds, and ensure the availability of counselling services and confidential reporting channels for students who may be victims or witnesses of such incidents.

"Parents, too, have a vital role to play by maintaining open communication with their children about respect, empathy, and consequences of harmful behaviour. Communities must unite to create an environment where such acts are not only condemned but prevented through education and

Lee called for a full and transparent investigation into the case, along with firm disciplinary and legal action against those responsible, as well as comprehensive support and protection for the victim.

"Every child has the right to feel safe at school, and we must act decisively to restore trust and strengthen safety within our education system,” he said.

According to police, four 17-year-old students who are due to sit for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination next month have been remanded for six days to assist investigations into the alleged gang rape of a 15-year-old female student at a school in Alor Gajah last week.

Melaka police chief Datuk Dzulkhairi Mukhtar said the case, being investigated under Section 375B of the Penal Code, took place around 2.50pm on Oct 2 in a classroom, when the victim returned to retrieve her science project materials. - Bernama
