The Moscow Metro has reached its 90th year of operation, marking a significant milestone for one of the world’s largest and longest-running urban transit systems.
Since its inauguration in 1935, the system has expanded to cover over 550 kilometers of track, with 302 stations, serving an average of 8 million passenger trips per weekday.
Maksim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry, said, “The opening of the Metro in 1935 was a historic event for our capital and the entire country. Even then, decades ago, the workers and builders set the highest standards for passenger service.
Today, in line with the goals set by Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin, we continue to uphold that standard. More than 65,000 people are currently employed by the Moscow Metro.
They not only help serve millions of passengers every day, but also work hard to earn the continued trust of Muscovites, so that each journey leaves a positive impression. I want to thank every employee for their dedication and wish them continued success.”
Initially launched with a single line spanning 11.5 kilometers and 13 stations, the Moscow Metro has expanded steadily over the past nine decades. In 2024 alone, the system transported 2.7 billion passengers.
Modernization has been a continuous process. Today, more than 75% of trains are newly developed models equipped with features such as automated speed control, open gangways, and updated safety systems. These advancements enable high-frequency operations, with intervals as short as 90 seconds during peak hours.

The system has also implemented digital ticketing solutions, including smart cards, virtual ticket options, and biometric payments, and are now used in the majority of daily trips. These technologies aim to streamline passenger flow and improve accessibility.
To mark the anniversary, a series of events and exhibitions were organized in the city, highlighting both the history and evolution of the metro system. Public displays featured restored early-generation trains and archival materials documenting the network’s development.
As one of the world’s most heavily used metro systems, the Moscow Metro continues to play a central role in urban transportation, reflecting broader trends in infrastructure investment, technological integration, and mass transit development over the past century.
In today’s rapidly evolving world, modern parents are seeking more than just a place to drop off their children for the day. They want an environment that nurtures their children’s growth — emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually.
Love & Laugh International Islamic Infantcare & Preschool is more than just a daycare centre; it is a place where children’s futures are shaped, starting from the earliest years of their lives.
The Science Behind Early Education
According to a study “Early Childhood Education and the Impact on Cognitive and Social Development (2019)” by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), children exposed to high-quality early education are more likely to succeed academically and socially throughout their lives.
This aligns with Love & Laugh’s philosophy, which focuses not only on academic achievement but also on the development of character, faith, and intellect. Through its holistic approach, Love & Laugh ensures that every child’s emotional, intellectual, and spiritual growth is nurtured from an early age — understanding the importance of building strong moral foundations that will guide them throughout their lives.
A Vision Beyond Academics
Love & Laugh is not just a preschool, but a platform for developing high-quality Muslim children who are equipped for both the world and the hereafter. The institution’s long-term vision focuses on building a generation of children with strong Islamic values, exceptional academic foundations, and well-rounded
personalities.
Through a strategically planned roadmap, Love & Laugh is committed to becoming a global leader in Islamic early childhood education — producing children who will grow into responsible, compassionate, and spiritually aware individuals.
A Curriculum that Nurtures the Whole Child
Love & Laugh understands that a child’s development goes far beyond academic learning — it also encompasses emotional, physical, and spiritual growth. That’s why the curriculum is not only academically enriching but also deeply rooted in Islamic values.
By integrating a thematic-based curriculum, QSTEAM (Quran-based Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), and daily spiritual practices such as prayer, dhikr, and moral education, Love & Laugh offers a holistic approach to early childhood education.
Every element is carefully structured to sharpen intellect, strengthen faith, and shape the child’s character.

Children’s safety is a top priority — with dedicated security personnel and 24-hour CCTV monitoring accessible to parents in real-time, offering peace of mind even while at work. The centre also provides breastfeeding rooms and supports mothers who wish to send expressed breast milk (EBM) daily.
A New Era Under International Leadership
A key turning point in the evolution of Love & Laugh was the transition to a new management team from Singapore. Bringing international expertise and best practices in early childhood education, this shift introduced a breath of fresh air — establishing new benchmarks that meet global standards while remaining deeply rooted in Islamic principles.
Parents can now expect an internationally informed curriculum, a dedicated and qualified teaching staff, and enhanced facilities that cater to both the intellectual and spiritual growth of their children.
Perfect for the Modern Muslim Family
Love & Laugh answers the growing demand from modern, urban parents who seek a balanced educational experience for their children — one that nurtures not only academic excellence but also Islamic values, emotional intelligence, and character development.
The combination of international management expertise and locally relevant Islamic teachings makes Love & Laugh the perfect fit for professional families in urban settings who want their children to excel both academically and spiritually.
Real Impact, Real Stories
At Love & Laugh, the focus is on more than just teaching academic subjects; it is about shaping the character, faith, and intellect of children from a young age. The institution’s holistic approach to education ensures that every child’s emotional, intellectual, and spiritual development is nurtured.
Parents consistently praise Love & Laugh for its personalized approach to childcare and education. One parent shared: “My child has tremendously grown ever since. She developed many skills, especially speech skills and social skills.”
This testimonial reflects the deep impact Love & Laugh has on children — fostering qualities like respect, curiosity, and faith that will serve them throughout their lives.

“NGO juga berhadapan dengan cuaca, cara kehidupan yang berbeza di luar negara dan semua itu memerlukan perhatian yang serius sebelum kita membuat kerja-kerja kebajikan atau kemanusiaan rentas sempadan.
Wawancara khas – Kemanusiaan Rentas Sempadan

Perusahaan Mikro, Kecil dan Sederhana (PMKS) serta jenama tempatan dalam pasaran peruncitan Malaysia kini tidak lagi mempertikaikan kepentingan pendigitalan.
Daripada peniaga pasar malam dan gerai tepi jalan hinggalah ke kedai milik keluarga dan
penyewa premis di pusat beli-belah, perbincangan kini telah beralih daripada “Pilih e-dagang atau kedai fizikal?” kepada “Bagaimana kita boleh mempertingkatkan lagi perkembangan bisnes dengan menggabungkan saluran fizikal dan digital?”
Perubahan ini didorong oleh pelbagai sokongan sektor awam dan swasta terhadap transformasi digital, serta infrastruktur internet menyeluruh yang dibangunkan oleh kerajaan.
Usaha-usaha ini telah menghapuskan halangan bagi mana-mana perniagaan, tanpa mengira saiz, untuk menyertai ekonomi digital. PMKS yang inovatif di seluruh negara telah menunjukkan bagaimana mereka memanfaatkan kandungan dalam talian dan ekosistem menyeluruh TikTok Shop untuk menjana aliran pendapatan baharu, meningkatkan kehadiran pelanggan ke kedai fizikal, membina komuniti pelanggan setia, serta memperkaya pengalaman mereka.
Bagi Nik Nur Adzuan, pengasas bersama perniagaan pakaian solat patuh Syariah dan keperluan Haji & Umrah, Al-Cataly, yang telah beroperasi sejak 2014, cabaran utama
dahulu adalah untuk mengembangkan jenamanya ketika hanya memiliki sebuah kedai fizikal di Kota Damansara, Selangor.
“Menjalankan perniagaan secara fizikal sepenuhnya bermakna pengetahuan tentang
jenama kami hanya terhad kepada lokasi kedai sahaja. Untuk berkembang, kami
memerlukan modal besar untuk membuka cawangan baharu, termasuk kos pendahuluan
untuk deposit sewa, ubah suai premis, stok inventori, pengambilan pekerja, bil utiliti dan
sebagainya,” jelasnya.
Menurut Nik, perniagaan mereka mungkin tidak mampu bertahan lama dalam jangka
panjang jika mereka tidak berkembang. Ini disebabkan sifat perniagaan, yang meningkat
semasa musim puncak seperti cuti sekolah dan Haji, tetapi berkurangan semasa tempoh
bukan puncak kerana produk mereka tidak dicari dan dibeli setiap hari sepanjang tahun,
tidak seperti barangan runcit.
“Bagi menampung kos operasi seperti sewa dan gaji pekerja, kami perlu membina aliran
pendapatan yang lebih konsisten dengan memperluaskan jangkauan pelanggan tanpa
menanggung kos operasi yang tinggi. Inilah sebabnya kami menerokai jualan dalam talian
menerusi TikTok Shop,” kongsinya.
Nik menyatakan bahawa LIVE Hub oleh TikTok Shop dan TEKUN Nasional di Kuala Lumpur
memberi mereka akses mudah kepada latihan dan peralatan bertaraf studio untuk
menghasilkan kandungan dan siaran langsung berkualiti tinggi.
“Dalam tempoh hanya dua bulan, jenama kami telah berjaya menarik hampir 10,000 pengikut dalam talian, dan jualan kami telah meningkat sebanyak 12 kali ganda. katanya
dengan penuh keterujaan. Malah, kami turut mempunyai pelanggan dari seluruh negara dan juga Singapura yang mengunjungi kedai fizikal kami di Selangor setelah kami
membangunkan kehadiran jenama kami secara dalam talian,” katanya.

“This breakthrough collaboration brings together Samsung’s leadership in home innovation with Maybank’s trusted financial services to offer consumers an accessible and sustainable future through cutting-edge technology.
“With this initiative, we are laying the foundations of building a connected, greener and smarter future filled with new possibilities,” said Charles Kim, President of Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

Together, we see immense potential for two innovation leaders to co-create purpose-driven solutions that are not only accessible and scalable to consumers, but also across businesses – from SMEs to corporates – as we support the transition to a more sustainable and connected ecosystem,” said Syed Ahmad Taufik Albar, Group CEO, Community Financial

Pengerusi NGO Antarabangsa merangkap Profesor Adjung Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) Dato Dr Mustapha Ahmad Marican telah mengadakan Syarahan Khas bertajuk “Membina UMT, Spectrum, Peranan dan Tanggungjawab pasukan badan beruniform UMT.
Mustapha dalam ucapannya berkata, keterlibatan para graduan ini dalam aktiviti badan beruniform ini dapat membentuk sahsiah dan sosial setiap mahasiswa.
“Aktiviti ini juga dapat mengangkat displin serta semangat kebersamaan sebagai warga universiti dan kokurikulum ini bertujuan memberi kemahiran tambahan kepada mahasiswa selain dari meningkatkan prestasi dalam bidang akadenik,” katanya ketika menyampaikan syarahan di UMT, semalam.
Antara badan beruniform UMT ialah Pasukan Latihan Pegawai Simpanan Darat dan Laut (Palapes), Kor kesukarelawan Polis (Suksis), Kor Siswa Siswi Pertahanan Awam (Sispa) dan pasukan kadet Maritim Malaysia (Paskam). Ketika ini seramai 500 mahasiswa dan mahasiswi UMT terlibat dalam badan uniform.
Mustapha seterusnya memberi penekanan kepada lima teras utama. Bagi para mahasiswa yang terlibat dalam kokurikulum iaitu
1. Mengimbangkan perkembangan rohani, jasmani dan emosi
2. Mengukuhkan hubungan dan pergaulan
3. Meningkatkan minat dan bakat yang diceburi
4. Meningkatkan disiplin dan kerjasama mahasiswa
5. Dapat melahirkan mahasiswa yang serba boleh
Turut hadir pada majlis ini Naib Canselor UMT, Kepten Kehormat TLDM Prof Ir Ts Dr Mohd Zamri Ibrahim selaku Komanden Palapes Darat dan Laut.
Beliau dalam ucapannya juga memberi penekanan kepada aspek keterlibatan mahasiswa dalam aktiviti dan UMT dalam rangka untuk menubuhkan pasukan Kadet Bomba sekiranya tidak halangan dari Kementerian ini kerana Terengganu juga terdedah kepada pelbagai masalah khususnya banjir, cuaca panas terik yang berisiko menyebabkan kebakaran.
Menurut Prof Ir Ts Dr Zamri, UMT dalam rangka untuk menyiapkan bangunan UMT di Bukit Koh Marang, Terengganu.
“Apabila siap sepenuhnya, badan badan beruniform UMT seperti Palapes akan berpindah disini kerana dilengkapi pelbagai kemudahan yang diperlukan seperti tapak halangan untuk membuat latihan dan kemudahan padang kawad yang serba lengkap. Selain itu, terdapat kemudahan pembelajaran dan hospital di kampus baharu ini,” katanya.
Mustapha dalam pada itu menyeru pada graduan mengambil maklum kepentingan badan badan uniform di universiti ini kerana zaman ini keputusan akademik yang baik selepas tamat pengajian tidak mencukupi untuk mendapatkan pekerjaan malah majikan juga akan melihat dari bukan akademik.
Beliau juga menyeru supaya graduan beruniform seharusnya meneruskan badan uniform dianggotai selepas tamat pengajian Universiti ini kerana banyak kelebihan yg diperolehi kelak. Ini bagi mengelakkan graduan tersebut mengganggur selepas memiliki Ijazah.
Turut hadir Leftenan Kehormat Maritim, Borhanudin Mohd Yusof @ Mohamed yang juga Pengarah Pusat Ko Kurikulum dan Citra Pelajar UMT, Pensyarah Pensyarah dan jurulatih pasukan beruniform UMT.
