FOREWORD Prof. Dr. Sugata Mitra Winner of the 2013 TED Prize (USD 1 million), Founder of “Hole-in-the-Wall” & “School in the Cloud” “Children do not learn the deepest moral values through lectures, but through experience — by doing, playing, and discovering for themselves. Augmented Reality (AR) allows us to bring moral situations directly into their world: they can see, touch, and choose the right action in a safe and joyful environment. The EGK Pendidikan Karakter Pintar book and app represent the finest example of how 21st-century technology can powerfully strengthen character education in Malaysian primary schools.” Prof. Dr. Sugata Mitra Professor Emeritus, NIIT University, India 2013 TED Prize Winner Page 4 of 111

CORE VALUE 1: FAITH / BELIEF IN GOD (Rukun Negara, Perlembagaan Persekutuan, Harmoni Beragama)Page 10 of 111
FAITH / BELIEF IN GOD “Our religions are different, but the God who teaches us to love one another is the same.” Definition Faith (Keimanan) means: - Respecting your own religion and the religions of others - Praying/worshipping with full devotion and focus - Showing noble character even in small actions - Staying quiet and respectful when a friend is praying/worshipping - Helping one another regardless of religion or race Why It Matters ✓ Builds religious harmony ✓ Supports the syllabus of Islamic Education & Moral Education ✓ Shapes noble character Multi-Religious References (read one each morning in rotation) Islam: “And help one another in righteousness and piety.” (Al-Ma’idah: 2) Christianity:“Love your neighbour as yourself.” (Mark 12:31) Buddhism: “Do not hurt others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.” Hinduism:“All beings are family of God.” Sikhism:“We are all children of the One God.” Real-Life Story – “Prayer in the Classroom Corner”* During recess, Sarah (a Christian) sat in the corner of the class, closed her eyes, and prayed before eating. Ali noticed, immediately kept quiet, and sat a little further away so Sarah wouldn’t be disturbed. When Sarah opened her eyes, Ali smiled and offered his food: “My mum made nasi lemak. Want to try some?” Sarah replied: “Thank you, Ali! Just now I prayed that all my friends stay healthy and happy… including you.” They ate together while laughing. From that day on, whenever someone was praying, everyone stayed quiet and showed respect. 10 Ways to Respect a Friend’s Religion 1. Stay quiet when a friend is praying/meditating 2. Say “Selamat Berpuasa” (Happy Fasting) to Muslim friends 3. Say “Selamat Hari Wesak” to Buddhist friends 4. Say “Selamat Deepavali” to Hindu friends 5. Say “Selamat Hari Krismas” to Christian friends 6. Never touch another religion’s holy book without permission 7. Don’t laugh at friends wearing religious clothing Page 11 of 111
8. Share halal/kosher/vegetarian food when inviting friends over 9. Learn to say “thank you” in your friend’s religious language 10. Pray that all your friends reach their own heaven/paradise Classroom Activity – “Little Interfaith Harmony Festival”1. Each group chooses ONE religious/cultural celebration 2. Create a poster + bring a special food from that celebration + teach one short greeting/prayer (examples: Selamat Hari Raya, Gong Xi Fa Cai, Happy Deepavali, Merry Christmas, Happy Wesak) 3. Everyone tastes the food and learns the greeting 4. Final moment: All students hold hands in a big circle and recite the Joint Faith Prayer togetherAR Scene in the App Scan using the EGK Karakter Pintar app → watch Ali quietly and patiently waiting while Sarah prays.
