Terengganu PAS apologises for jalur Gemilang error in event logo
PETALING JAYA: Terengganu PAS has issued a public apology for a Jalur Gemilang error used in the Teguh Memimpin Terengganu (TMT) 2025 logo.
The programme's secretariat earlier withdrew the logo and released an updated version.
They openly apologised to the public and supporters for the mistake and said they took immediate action to remedy the situation.
"The secretariat of the TMT 2025 gathering would like to express our utmost appreciation and thanks for the feedback from various parties regarding the 'teaser' logo design.
"We would like to extend an open apology to the public and supporters for the oversight and have taken immediate action to withdraw its use," it said.
It noted that the corrected version of the TMT 2025 logo had been released and would be used in all future promotional materials and official announcements.
Last week, PAS began promoting the TMT gathering scheduled to take place in Kemaman, Terengganu from May 29 to 31.
The logo featured the Jalur Gemilang on the left, the PAS logo in the middle and the Terengganu flag on the right.
However, the logo was criticised for depicting only an 11-pointed yellow star and 12 red-and-white stripes.
The Jalur Gemilang should have a 14-pointed star with 14 red-and-white stripes, symbolising the 13 states in the federation plus the federal territories.
The latest blunder came in the wake of other errors since last month when the Jalur Gemilang was depicted with various inaccuracies.

PAS condemns US attack on Iran
PETALING JAYA: The attack on Iran by the United States is a violation of sovereignty and a war crime under international law, says PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang. He said that the attack amounts to an invasion that contravenes the United Nations Charter. 'This act not only violates Iran's sovereignty but also constitutes a war crime that clearly breaches international law and the UN Charter,' he said on Sunday (June 22). He said that the assault reveals the 'true nature' of the US and its ally, Israel, accusing them of acting like terrorists with no regard for international norms. 'This attack exposes the true face of the United States and its ally, Israel, as terrorists who blatantly disregard international law and universal humanitarian values,' he added. He urged the UN Security Council and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation to take firm action against this aggression. 'PAS calls for strong and immediate action from the UN Security Council and the OIC to halt this aggression and to condemn the arrogance of the United States, which remains a staunch ally of the illegitimate Israeli regime,' he said.

Reform The Education System, No Time To Cut Corners
In recent years, concerns regarding the state of education in Malaysia have been raised across various platforms, with social media providing a space for both parents and citizens to express their frustrations. Issues such as teenagers struggling to form coherent English sentences, alongside the widespread use of shortcuts in the national Malay language, have compromised proper language use and understanding, affecting other educational areas such as STEM, which relies heavily on clear and precise language to foster innovation and problem-solving. These discussions highlight a growing concern about the quality of education. The Education Ministry (MOE) must address this issue immediately because the stagnation in Malaysia's education system is not simply reflected in statistics; it directly affects the nation's long-term competitiveness and its ability to prosper in the global market. If Malaysia is to realise its full potential, education must be treated as a priority, and its focus must be broadened beyond superficial aspects like the Jalur Gemilang badges or shoe colour. MOE should be focusing on more substantial matters such as academic standards, student well-being and access to quality education for all. Statistics from the Human Rights Measurement Initiative revealed that Malaysia is falling short in terms of education rights. The country ranks third-lowest in ASEAN for education rights, ahead of only Brunei and Laos, with a score of only 67.5%. Even more troubling, this score has remained largely unchanged over the past decade, suggesting little progress has been made. This is worrying, as it indicates that we are not fully utilising the potential of our educational system, particularly when compared to other nations with similar economic standing. This underperformance is not an issue to be taken lightly. Education is a fundamental right, not a privilege, and cutting corners in this area not only jeopardises the future of Malaysians but also limits the nation's broader growth and global competitiveness. If Malaysia is to thrive on the international stage, we cannot afford to neglect our education system. Additionally, the shift towards an exam-oriented system, focused on memorisation rather than fostering true understanding, points to a deeper, systemic issue within our educational framework. Furthermore, every child deserves access to quality education, regardless of their socio-economic background, ethnicity or legal status. Denying this rights stifle potential, perpetuates inequality, and undermines the nation's progress. These challenges are most acutely felt by the most vulnerable in society. People with disabilities, those from lower social or economic backgrounds, street children and indigenous communities continue to face significant barriers to accessing quality education. The lack of equal opportunities for these groups only deepens educational inequality and reinforces socio-economic disparities. Only by addressing these systemic issues can Malaysia hope to unlock its full potential and secure its position as a competitive force in the global economy. Education is a right, not a luxury, and ensuring this right for all is essential in creating a more equitable future for the nation.

Perlis MB fails to oust Arau PAS chief as allies suffer major defeats in state party polls
KANGAR, June 22 – Allies of Perlis Menteri Besar Shukri Ramli have reportedly suffered a series of defeats in PAS' party elections in the Arau division, including Shukri himself who failed to unseat the incumbent division chief. Malaysiakini reported that Shukri lost his bid for the division chief post to Solahhudin Azmi, the current officeholder and Perlis PAS election director. 'Shukri failed to win the post of Arau PAS division chief, losing to Solahhudin Azmi,' the report quoted an anonymous party source. Razali Saad, another ally of Shukri and a Perlis state executive councillor, also reportedly lost his position as division vice-chief to Nur Yusairy Mansor. Meanwhile, Perlis state assembly speaker Russele Eizan was unseated as division deputy chief by Ridzuan Hashim, a rank-and-file member. Russele also holds the role of Perlis Perikatan Nasional vice-chairman II, but his alignment with Shukri remains unclear. These losses come amid previous controversies involving Shukri's family, notably his son Syafeeq who was charged last year with submitting a false claim. In May 2024, Syafeeq pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court in Kuala Lumpur to a charge of submitting a false claim amounting to RM19,505.10. He was charged with submitting a document, 'Pesanan Kerajaan (Bekalan/Perkhidmatan) Kerajaan Negeri Perlis', containing a false claim to Nurul Nabilah Mohd Sukri, an Administrative Assistant at the District Administration Division, Perlis State Secretary's Office, on February 19 this year with an intent to deceive the latter. The charge was framed under Section 18 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009 (Act 694), punished under Section 24(2) of the same law, which provides imprisonment for up to 20 years and a fine of not less than five times the amount or value of the bribe or RM10,000, whichever is higher upon conviction.
