3,800 packs of meat distributed during Hang Tuah Jaya parliamentary qurban ceremony
MELAKA: A total of 3,800 packs of meat were distributed during 'Ibadah Korban Perdana' (Grand Qurban Ceremony) held by the Hang Tuah Jaya parliamentary constituency in conjunction with the Aidiladha celebration.
Youth and Sports Deputy Minister Adam Adli Abd Halim said 15 cows were sacrificed and the meat was distributed to recipients including the underprivileged group (asnaf), single mothers, senior citizens, B40 families, and local residents.
'The qurban ritual is not only about fulfilling religious obligations but also symbolises compassion and solidarity within the community.
'These are the values we aim to cultivate in Hang Tuah Jaya, ensuring that no one is left out from experiencing the joy and blessings of Aidiladha,' he said in a statement today.
Adam Adli, who is also the Member of Parliament for Hang Tuah Jaya, said the initiative also reflected the constituency's efforts to strengthen the spirit of unity and communal care in line with the Malaysia MADANI principles, which emphasise empathy, inclusivity and social well-being.
'We also extend our thanks to all parties involved, especially the staff and volunteers who arrived as early as 8.30 am to ensure the smooth execution of the sacrificial ritual, meat processing, and distribution,' he added.
The ceremony, organised by the Hang Tuah Jaya Parliamentary Service Centre, was held at Dataran Mat Riau, Bukit Baru, involving around 120 members and volunteers from Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK).

Journalists must return to basics, uphold integrity
KUALA LUMPUR: In an increasingly challenging era of journalism, media practitioners are urged to steadfastly uphold integrity, truth, and social responsibility in addressing contemporary challenges, Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir said. He said in the current post-normal and post-truth era, fake news and conspiracy theories spread easily, posing a serious challenge to public trust in the media. 'This is where modern journalists must return to the fundamentals of truth and social responsibility. Commitment to these values makes journalism a cornerstone of an informed society. 'The role of journalists as trusted bearers of information is increasingly important, to sift fact from fiction, report fairly and uphold the principle of speaking the truth, even when it is bitter,' he said. Zambry was speaking at the 2025 Malaysian Journalism Night and at the Malaysian Press Institute (MPI)-Petronas Journalism Awards held here tonight. Zambry also said that under the Malaysia MADANI framework, ethical and independent journalism must continue to be strengthened as a vital pillar of democracy and social justice. 'Journalists are friends of truth and foes of oppression. Our job is not to please or attack those in power, but to uphold good and oppose wrongdoing, guided by facts and reasoned arguments,' he said. He said journalists serve as the eyes and ears of the people, delivering constructive criticism and honest reporting, enabling leaders to make informed decisions that reflect the voice of the public. Zambry also encouraged stronger collaboration between higher learning institutions and media organisations, including through joint research, industrial training programmes and journalism ethics colloquiums. He stressed that the Higher Education Ministry is committed to ensuring that communication and journalism curricula remain relevant and current, incorporating elements such as artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, cyber laws and professional ethics. 'We aim to produce knowledgeable and ethical journalists, because only then can journalism continue to be a respected profession trusted by the people,' he said. The event, organised by the Malaysian Press Institute (MPI), was attended by media practitioners, representatives from local news agencies and winners of various categories in the 2024 Malaysian Journalism Awards.
