In his address, Assistant Commissioner Abdul Rahman highlighted the significance of the knowledge and skills the students had acquired throughout the programme. He encouraged them to share their learnings with their peers and to act as role models within the school community. Emphasising the practical application of these new skills, he urged students to consistently set a positive example. He also called on parents to respect traffic rules and regulations, and to support their children in their roles as traffic monitors by adhering to their instructions.
