00:00Mr. Chak Belchoy, to share his opening remarks.
00:13Academic pressure, emotional stress, digital exposure, cyber risk, and mental health challenges are no longer isolated incidents.
00:30There are systemic issues that require us to rethink how we define school safety.
00:41Today, safety can no longer be limited to physical protection alone.
00:49It must also include psychological safety, emotional resilience, and supportive ecosystems that allow young people to learn, to grow, and to thrive with confidence and dignity.
01:08It is in response to these evolving realities that the Safe School 2.0 initiative was developed.
01:20This initiative represents research-driven and policy-oriented efforts to strengthen Malaysia's school safety framework to a more holistic, compassionate, and evidence-based approach.
01:40It reflects our belief that universities have a responsibility not only to generate knowledge, but also to ensure that knowledge is translated into meaningful impact for society and governance.
02:00Through Safe School 2.0, the research team has shown how scholarship can be translated into practical insights that support evidence-based decision-making and long-term educational reform.
02:19This initiative exemplifies Ta UMT's role as a university that bridges disciplines and institutions, theory and practice scholarship and society in service of national development.
02:39Today's dialogue is particularly significant because it places students at the center of the conversation.
02:49Policies that affect young people should not be shaped solely by adult assumptions, which was the conventional way of policy-making.
03:04They must be informed by the life experiences, voices, and realities of students themselves.
03:14By listening directly to students, we strengthen the relevance, credibility, and sustainability of any framework we hope to implement at the national level.
03:31As we begin this dialogue, I encourage all participants, particularly the students, educators, and academics, and practitioners to listen openly, engage respectfully, and reflect sincerely.
03:52Let us approach this session with empathy and humility, recognizing that every voice shared today contributes to a deeper understanding of how we can build safer, more supportive schools for all.
04:11gratitude for all.
