Malaysia to seek preventive measures, diplomatic cooperation over transboundary haze, says Zahid

KUCHING, Sept 16 — Malaysia prioritises long-term diplomatic cooperation and early preventive measures over seeking compensation from neighbouring countries in addressing the issue of transboundary haze, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

Ahmad Zahid, who is also National Disaster Management Committee Chairman, said a prudent and structured diplomatic approach is the most effective way to address sensitive issues among Asean member states while ensuring optimal technical coordination.

“While seeking compensation does not necessarily imply definitive liability that must be borne by any specific country, taking preventive measures early would avoid the need to address such sensitive inter-state issues.

Where was PH uproar when Peter Anthony was released on parole, Wee asks Link

PETALING JAYA: MCA today questioned the apparent double standards of Pakatan Harapan (PH) which recently said that those convicted of corruption or abuse of power, particularly in high-profile cases, should serve their sentence in full.

MCA president Wee Ka Siong said there was no uproar from PH when former Sabah state minister Peter Anthony was released on parole in March, a year into his three-year sentence.

"The same principle must be applied consistently," he said in a statement.

Peter was convicted in 2022 of forging a letter from the office of the Universiti Malaysia Sabah deputy vice-chancellor 11 years ago in connection with a maintenance and service contract.

He was ordered to begin serving his jail sentence last year following the dismissal of his final appeal to have his conviction overturned.

Last week:

Malaysia plans to recruit about 200,000 Bangladeshi workers over the next six months, according to a Bangladeshi minister.
Bangladeshi local government, rural development and cooperatives junior minister Mir Shahe Alam said the workers would be recruited through companies approved by Malaysian authorities.
He said recruitment would begin in phases at the end of September and be completed within six months.
Of the total, 10,000 workers would not have to bear recruitment costs.
"They (Malaysia) will hire about 200,000 workers. Of them, they will hire 10,000 workers free of cost," Shahe Alam said, as reported by The Daily Star.

Fahmi: '200k workers from Bangladesh to Malaysia' claim not official position

A reported statement quoting the Bangladesh government that Malaysia plans to recruit 200,000 Bangladeshi workers over the next six months does not represent that country’s official position, said government spokesperson Fahmi Fadzil today.
Speaking at a post-cabinet press conference in Putrajaya, the communications minister said Human Resources Minister R Ramanan informed him that the statement was made by a junior minister and was not an official position of Bangladesh.

Seems like something fishy boiling underneath the news...

A printing company has blamed a rushed last-minute order and less thorough quality checks for an incorrect Jalur Gemilang star appearing on attire worn by Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor and several dignitaries at a Merdeka event.

Berita Harian reported that NE Creative Ventures has apologised publicly to the Kedah Menteri Besar’s Office and accepted full responsibility for the mistake, after photographs of the attire went viral on social media.

The Ayer Keroh, Melaka-based company said an error during production resulted in the star on the printed Malaysian flag having fewer than the official 14 points.

Controversial lecturer Solehah to challenge termination by IIUM

PETALING JAYA: Controversial lecturer Solehah Yaacob is challenging her termination by the International Islamic University Malaysia and has accused the university of being unprofessional in its decision.

Solehah said she was taking the university to the Industrial Court. “I was dismissed within 24 hours and not allowed to appeal,” she said. “IIUM wanted to pay me the equivalent of six months, but I refused," she told FMT.

Earlier today, the university said Solehah, who has a doctorate in Arabic linguistics, was sacked in April and was no longer a professor at the university from April 27.

It also said Solehah was not permitted to use any title or position linked to the university or claim any affiliation with the institution.

Solehah said IIUM was unprofessional in dismissing her, especially as she had been awarded the Malaysia Research Assessment award by the higher education ministry the day before.

The MyRa assessment, developed in 2006, is used to evaluate the research performance of universities in the country.

Solehah has been at the centre of public attention over several controversial views on Malay history and civilisation. Among the claims she was reported to have made included one that the Romans learned shipbuilding from the Malays, and that iron ore deposits in Malaysia were the results of meteor strikes.
