Teachers are our guiding light, says PM


KUALA LUMPUR: Teachers are like candles that illuminate people’s lives for a lifetime despite challenges, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

He hoped teachers would continue to serve with dedication and uphold the people’s trust in educating children of the “Malaysian Family”.

In conjunction with Teachers Day yesterday, he said May 16 was a meaningful day for educators; for their services and sacrifices in educating the nation.

“Happy Teachers Day to all educators who never get tired of being a beacon for the Malaysian Family,” he said in a post on his Facebook page yesterday, Bernama reported.

Ismail Sabri said this year’s Teachers Day celebration, themed “Guru Tunjang Sekolah Sejahtera”, coincided with their commitment to always give their best in producing the country’s future generation.

The launch of the national-level 51st Teachers’ Day Celebration 2022 was held at Universiti Malaysia Kelantan.
