PETALING JAYA: Sekretariat Rakyat Benci Rasuah submitted a notice to the police today on its plan to hold another anti-corruption rally on June 28 in front of the Sogo shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur. The group's coordinator, Fakrurrazzi Khairur Rijal, said the notice was delivered to Dang Wangi police in accordance with the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012, fulfilling the legal requirements for a public gathering.

'We welcome all Malaysians who believe in accountability and justice to stand with us on June 28,' it said. The rally follows a similar protest in January. The organisers said no significant action had been taken since a memorandum was submitted to the government in February, which was received by Sungai Petani MP Taufiq Johari along with 15 other government MPs. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Defence Ministry keeping close watch on Iran-Israel conflict

Mohamed Khaled Nordin KOTA TINGGI (June 21): The Defence Ministry will continue to closely monitor developments in the Iran-Israel conflict, given its potential implications for regional security and national interests, said Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin. He said the situation is alarming as it could escalate into a broader conflict, including disrupting the global supply chains, impacting the world economy, and endangering the safety of Malaysians in the region. 'We are monitoring the developments. When a world war breaks out, all countries are affected, oil prices surge, supply chains are disrupted, global trade is hampered, and trading nations like Malaysia will also feel the impact,' he said. The Kota Tinggi MP told reporters after officiating the ceremony to harvest young Bentong ginger in Kampung Gembut, near here, today. He said the Iran-Israel conflict offers insights into the use of technology, which in turn helps Malaysia fortify national defence preparedness. Mohamed Khaled said the Foreign Ministry is coordinating efforts to evacuate Malaysians in Iran via land routes, as there are no inbound and outbound flights from Iran. 'The country that has been arranged to receive them is Turkmenistan. From there, they will likely be brought home using commercial flights,' he said, adding that there is still a small number of Malaysians in Iran. 'The evacuation process will be carried out in an orderly manner, taking into account both security and diplomatic considerations,' he added. – Bernama Defence Ministry Iran-Israel conflict mohamed khaled nordin

Only Sabahans know state's woes: Masidi

Published on: Saturday, June 21, 2025 Published on: Sat, Jun 21, 2025 By: Clarence Dol Text Size: Masidi, PGRS leaders and supporters at the event. RANAU: The people of Sabah must give full support to the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) government because only local leadership understands the real needs of the state as well as the people here. Sabah Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (PGRS) Deputy President and Karanaan PGRS Division Head Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun said, as the state election looming, a new mandate must be given to the coalition in order to keep the prosperity going. Masidi highlighted the GRS government's achievements over the past 3 years despite various challenges. He noted that during the Covid-19 pandemic in September 2020, movement restrictions significantly impacted operations, but the government still managed to function effectively for nearly 4 years. He emphasized that the GRS government's achievements in 2 to 3 years were among the best in Sabah's history. Key accomplishments included increased government revenue, record-breaking public savings, and nearly triple the reserves compared to previous administrations. Advertisement Masidi who is also Sabah's Finance Minister was speaking when officiating the 2025 Annual Conference of the PGRS for the Kundasang, Karanaan and Paginatan Divisions that was held at the Dewan Masyarakat Ranau on Thursday. Regarding infrastructure, particularly water management, Masidi also addressed issues concerning electricity, roads and clean water supplies. He reminded the people that Sabah Electricity is not entirely under the state government, but it is more under the federal's Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB). In regards to the road problem, he said that such problems have also existed during the previous administrations, but today more road network and upgrading has been done, despite not being noticed by the oppositions. Concerning water issues, he explained that previous administration's decisions to terminate water management contracts led to current problems and legal claims totalling around RM300 million in compensation. He announced new developments, including a water treatment plant in Ranau from the Nakamura River that will provide consistent water supply regardless of weather conditions. Towards that end, Masidi emphasized the importance of political stability and professional governance for continued progress. The conference concluded with a call for unity within the party and focus on selecting capable candidates for upcoming elections. He stressed that elections are not beauty contests but rather about choosing hardworking individuals who can drive progress. Also present were PGRS Vice President Datuk Masiung Banah, Assistant Minister to the Chief Minister Datuk Abidin Madingkir, Ranau Member of Parliament Datuk Jonathan Yasin, Assemblyman-Elect Datuk Hjh Amisah Yassin and others. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
