Najib Razak’s legal team was deeply disappointed by the refusal to stay the 15-year 1MDB sentence imposed by Justice Datuk Collin Lawrence Sequerah, but Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah says the defence will now take a fresh stay application to the Court of Appeal, where Najib’s substantive appeal is already pending — even as his separate house-arrest arrangement moves closer to reality.
Bagi sebuah hotel yang mahu menjadi sebahagian daripada komuniti sekitarnya, menghargai abang-abang rider yang setiap hari berada di jalan raya adalah satu langkah kecil yang bermakna – lebih-lebih lagi apabila sarapan RM3 itu turut membantu mereka yang memerlukan, seperti apa yang dikendalikan oleh pekerja dan pengurusan Dorsett Hartamas.
Old wounds rarely disappear on their own. Some heal with time. Others reopen whenever they are touched. The recent elections in Sabah, Johor and Negeri Sembilan suggest that many Malay voters continue to view politics through the lens of memory, dignity and respect—values that, in their eyes, have yet to be fully acknowledged.
As voters prepare to choose a new state government, Negeri Sembilan's unprecedented royal dispute leaves a question the ballot box cannot answer. And if the BN-PN pact topples Pakatan Harapan just weeks after its Johor rout, the consequences could extend far beyond Seremban — perhaps even accelerating the road to GE16.
Johor has delivered more than a state election result — it has sent a powerful political message to Putrajaya. The scale of Barisan Nasional's victory suggests that voters were motivated less by political rhetoric and more by concerns over the rising cost of living, governance and leadership, making the election a significant barometer of national sentiment.
Walaupun BN dijangka kekal mempertahankan Johor, persoalan sama ada gabungan itu mampu mengulangi kemenangan besar 2022 tanpa pengaruh Datuk Seri Najib Razak kini menjadi tumpuan utama.
Remarks by Tony Pua may be constitutionally framed. But reducing the monarchy to its narrowest legal role risks misunderstanding the very Constitution he invokes.
Adendum Diraja yang mengandungi pengampunan berbentuk tahanan rumah bagi Perdana Menteri ke-6 Malaysia bukan tentang membatalkan kesalahan atau menentang mahkamah, tetapi tentang ihsan. Penolakan Adendum Diraja menimbulkan persoalan serius mengenai peranan perlembagaan Yang di-Pertuan Agong, sikap berdiam diri Raja-Raja Melayu, dan kedudukan UMNO dalam kerajaan perpaduan yang kini kelihatan selesa meraikan penghinaan.
The Royal Pardon is not about erasing guilt or defying the courts, but about mercy. The rejection of the King’s Addendum raises troubling questions about the Agong’s constitutional role, the silence of the Rulers, and UMNO’s place in a unity government that now appears comfortable celebrating humiliation.
Sebagai satu demonstrasi jalanan, himpunan Turun Anwar yang berlangsung Sabtu lalu mungkin tidak sehebat perhimpunan ICERD pada 2018, apatah lagi dibandingkan dengan siri protes jalanan di Bangkok, Jakarta atau Manila. Tetapi sama ada yang hadir hanya 100 orang dalam pelbagai rupa dan saiz, atau setengah juta yang sanggup berpanas, berjerubu dan berhujan, hakikatnya ia tetap menjadi satu detik penting yang tidak harus diketepikan – khususnya buat pemimpin Pakatan Harapan (PH) yang juga Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim.
As street demonstrations go, Saturday’s ‘Turun Anwar’ (Remove Anwar) rally may not have the numbers as the country’s ICERD protest in 2018, or the street demos in Bangkok, Jakarta or Manila. But whether it was 100 people in various shades and sizes, or half a million who braved the heat, haze and later, rain, like it or not, it should be a watershed moment for the Pakatan Harapan (PH) folks, especially for their leader, the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim.
