Court bins N Sembilan nobles' gag order bid; PAS No 2 asks why Bersatu still with 'damaged' PN

 


Court 

  • The Kuala Lumpur High Court today rejected a gag order bid by three former Negeri Sembilan undang and the incumbent Johol undang in their judicial review application against the Negeri Sembilan menteri besar and the state government.

    Quoting sources, The Edge reported that judge Norliza Othman did not grant the oral application by the quartet’s lawyer, Khairul Azam Aziz, following opposition from the Council of the Yang di-Pertuan Besar and the Ruling Chiefs (Dewan Keadilan dan Undang) and the state government.

    The respondents are said to have cited how the case, which centres on seeking the state government’s acknowledgement of the quartet’s removal of Yang di-Pertuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir as the state ruler, involves matters of public interest.


Politics

  • If Bersatu considers Perikatan Nasional “damaged”, then why would the party want to stay in it, asked PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man.

    He was commenting on Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin’s assertion that PAS had damaged the opposition coalition.

    Tuan Ibrahim also told Sinar Harian that PN has sent letters to the Registrar of Societies and Bersatu regarding reports that the party lacked the necessary quorum for its supreme council meetings, but has yet to receive any response.

    “Bersatu’s position in PN may be discussed by the (coalition) supreme council. After all, we need an explanation from the PN secretary-general whether Bersatu has responded to the letter or not,” he added.

State governance

  • ADS

    The Selangor government plans to develop an integrated application or “super app” that will include all the services and complaint channels of the state’s 12 local authorities.

    State Local Government and Tourism exco Ng Suee Lim said the initiative aims to expedite and simplify matters for the public by providing access to various local council services via a single platform.

    Berita Harian reported him saying that the plan considered the confusion members of the public sometimes face when determining which local council governs their residential area.

    He added that data security and confidentiality would also be prioritised to prevent leaks and abuses.

    “Every place (local council) has one app, two apps… three apps. This causes confusion among the public because there are too many applications… this is one of the problems,” Ng reportedly said.

Islamic affairs

  • The Malaysian Islamic Da’wah Foundation (Yadim) refuted claims that Islam is being sidelined in Malaysia, with the agency under the Prime Minister’s Department insisting that Islam continues to be empowered through various government-linked means. 

    Yadim president Hasan Bahrom said that under the Madani government, allocations for Islamic affairs increased from RM1.9 billion in 2024 to RM2 billion in 2025 and RM2.6 billion for 2026.

    Bernama also quoted him as saying that claims against certain parties allegedly “continuing colonial work” and eroding the status of Malay-Muslims should be evaluated based on facts and actual action, following remarks by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang. - Mkini
