00:00In the future, we will have a few speeches, and then we will give it to Ibu Ayah Jum'at.
00:05Today is the first day of the SPM examination written on January 2, 2025 for SPM 2024.
00:15And today is the most important day for students.
00:19Today I came to the Central School of Religious Studies, Johor Bahru,
00:23to see our SPM candidates for the examination.
00:29This is not the first paper, it is the first Malay language paper.
00:34And the total number of students in the state of Johor who took the SPM examination
00:39is as many as 49,980 students from all over the state of Johor, including 306 schools.
00:46To them, we are happy to see and pray that they all succeed in the SPM examination this year.
00:54We also target that our previous record will be kept by the state of Johor for the SPM decision to come.
01:07So far, all of our students who have been nominated as SPM candidates,
01:12all went to the SPM.
01:13However, today is not the first day of the written examination,
01:17so we do not have the complete data yet.
01:20Because this is probably the first day of the number of students who attended the SPM examination.
01:30As of now, in Kota Tinggi, because I also visited two days ago,
01:35we have managed and the school for them to take the SPM examination is not involved in the flood.
01:40They can continue with the SPM examination.
01:44And we also give special options for these students to resume their studies at SK Gembol.
01:57For the 6th of this month, the state of Johor is indeed on vacation.
02:00According to the state government's decision, it is indeed on vacation.
02:03However, for SPM students, they continue with the SPM examination.
02:07We do not want to interfere with their momentum to answer in terms of school holidays.
02:12So, it is on vacation, but the SPM examination is still on.
02:14And teachers are also given the opportunity to take a break after the SPM examination.
02:32We have never run away from the Friday and Saturday holidays.
02:35We have also had Saturday and Sunday holidays.
02:38We have to believe that Friday is a must.
02:41Even if we are not working, we have to do our du'a.
02:46And we hope that the students, and there are also some schools,
02:50have been set up as Friday prayers.
02:55So, there is no hesitation for them not to go to Friday prayers.
02:59And I feel and expect that more people will attend
03:04because we provide a very long break for them to attend Friday school.
03:12For school, we finish at 12.30 and start the next session at 2.30, 2.45 in the afternoon.
03:21So, there is room for them to go to Friday prayers.
03:24And I hope there will be a lot of people attending Friday prayers for the first time this year.
