KUALA PILAH: Kementerian Pendidikan (KPM) tidak akan berkompromi sekiranya benar dakwaan seorang murid lelaki Tahun Lima yang dirotan guru besar sehingga cedera di sebuah sekolah di Segamat, Johor dua hari lepas.

Menteri Pendidikan Fadhlina Sidek berkata KPM menyerahkan sepenuhnya perkara itu kepada pihak berkuasa dan pada masa sama, sesi intervensi termasuk sokongan psikososial kepada guru dan pelajar terlibat turut dilaksanakan.

"Kes ini kita dah serahkan untuk siasatan, kita kena hormat proses siasatan itu dan semua hasil akan dimaklumkan kembali kepada KPM.

"Saya memberi jaminan siasatan yang dijalankan adalah telus. Kita hendak maju dalam isu pendidikan," katanya kepada pemberita selepas menghadiri Karnival Mini Pendidikan MADANI Peringkat Negeri Sembilan di sini hari ini.

Terdahulu, media melaporkan seorang murid sebuah sekolah di Segamat mengalami kecederaan di badan dan muka selepas didakwa dirotan guru besar kerana tidak menyiapkan kerja sekolah.

Fadhlina berkata sebarang tindakan ke atas guru besar berkenaan adalah bergantung kepada hasil siasatan.

"Semua proses siasatan harus dipatuhi termasuk jika memerlukan keterangan diambil untuk memastikan ia berlangsung dengan baik...dan kalau dia (guru besar) kena hadir beri keterangan atau sesi kaunseling, dia kena hadir," katanya.

Sementara itu, beliau berkata KPM sentiasa memantau komitmen dan tanggungjawab golongan pendidik secara keseluruhannya termasuk dengan mewujudkan Standard Guru Malaysia (SGM) bertujuan memastikan guru benar-benar mencapai kualiti ditetapkan.

Beliau berkata demikian bagi mengulas kes tiga bekas pelajar sebuah sekolah di Kota Kinabalu, Sabah yang masing-masing menerima pampasan RM50,000 selepas berjaya dalam saman terhadap guru bahasa Inggeris mereka yang 'ponteng' kelas selama tujuh bulan pada 2017.

KUCHING: Ekoran tertarik dengan iklan pelaburan menguntungkan di media sosial, seorang lelaki berusia 25 tahun di Sibu (kira-kira 400 kilometer dari sini) menjadi mangsa penipuan dalam talian dan mengalami kerugian berjumlah RM101,200.

Pesuruhjaya Polis Sarawak Datuk Mohd Azman Ahmad Sapri berkata mangsa yang bekerja sebagai penjaga stor sebuah syarikat itu melakukan pelaburan dalam talian dengan memuat turun aplikasi 'PSLUS' menerusi Google Play setelah menonton iklan di Facebook pada 30 Mei lepas.

"Mangsa telah menghubungi nombor Whatsapp 621513-477+60 dan suspek telah menunjukkan bagaimana cara untuk membuat pelaburan serta mangsa diberitahu akan mendapat keuntungan yang tinggi mengikut nilai pelaburan yang dibuat," katanya dalam kenyataan hari ini.

JOHOR BAHRU: Kerajaan negeri menerusi Jabatan Agama Islam Negeri Johor (JAINJ) akan bekerjasama dengan Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia (MCMC) bagi membendung segera penyebaran ajaran sesat Suhaini Muhammad atau SiHulk di negeri ini.

Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Hal Ehwal Agama Islam negeri Mohd Fared Mohd Khalid berkata perkara itu telah diputuskan dalam mesyuarat Majlis Agama Islam Negeri Johor (MAINJ) hari ini dan tindakan lanjut akan dilakukan dalam masa terdekat.

Beliau berkata langkah itu diambil susulan beberapa video yang tular menerusi media sosial baru-baru ini melibatkan beberapa individu mengaku sebagai pengikut ajaran sesat itu, dipercayai berada di New Zealand, sekali gus menyukarkan tindakan penguatkuasaan diambil terhadap individu terlibat.

"Siasatan mendapati video dimuat naik dari New Zealand, maka jika ia disebarkan dan dimuat naik di luar negara, ia di luar bidang kuasa kerajaan negeri dan kita tidak boleh mengambil tindakan ke atas mereka secara perundangan, itu kesulitan yang perlu difahami.

"Kalau tidak boleh ditangkap secara realiti, kita tangkap mereka melalui media iaitu bekerjasama dengan MCMC termasuk menghalang penglibatan mereka di media sosial dan paling penting, masyarakat perlu berikan maklumat kepada JAINJ dan kita akan salurkan kepada MCMC untuk tindakan lanjut," katanya pada sidang media di sini hari ini.

Mohd Fared berkata di Johor, ajaran itu telah difatwakan sesat sejak 22 Julai 2021 kerana didapati menyeleweng dan bertentangan dengan akidah, syariat serta akhlak Islam, sekali gus semua aktiviti yang berkaitan dengannya termasuk perniagaan dan perkhidmatan adalah dilarang dan difatwakan haram.

"Pengasas dan juga pengikut ajaran ini sebenarnya pengecut, mereka hanya berani mengeluarkan kenyataan setelah tidak berada dalam negara. Apabila ajaran-ajarannya pelik dan tidak logik, adalah lebih baik untuk dijauhi.

"Sehubungan itu, orang awam diminta untuk tidak terlibat secara langsung atau tidak langsung dengan mana-mana individu atau apa-apa aktiviti dijalankan pihak berkenaan," katanya sambil menambah sekiranya mereka pulang ke negeri ini, tangkapan boleh dibuat mengikut lunas undang-undang sedia ada.

Berhubung aktiviti perniagaan melibatkan air minuman SiHulk yang dijalankan pengasas dan pengikut ajaran itu, Mohd Fared memaklumk...

FSRA dimeterai PM Anwar beri ruang Felda struktur semula komitmen kewangan

Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim pada 26 Jun lepas menandatangani FSRA bagi penerimaan pertama geran RM990 juta setahun daripada Kerajaan Persekutuan untuk penebusan sukuk Felda.

KUALA LUMPUR: Lembaga Kemajuan Tanah Persekutuan (Felda) menjelaskan bahawa perjanjian bagi Akaun Rizab Perkhidmatan Kewangan (FSRA) antara lain memberi ruang kepada agensi itu untuk menstruktur semula komitmen kewangan terhadap kadar faedah dikenakan dan pemansuhan 80 peratus hutang peneroka berjumlah RM8.3 bilion.

Felda dalam kenyataan hari ini memaklumkan penghapusan sejumlah hutang peneroka dilaksanakan di peringkat agensi itu tanpa penyaluran peruntukan geran daripada Kerajaan Persekutuan pada 2021 serta 2022 dan ia memberikan impak besar kepada aliran tunai serta prestasi Felda.

Berikutan itu, Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim pada 26 Jun lepas menandatangani FSRA bagi penerimaan pertama geran RM990 juta setahun daripada Kerajaan Persekutuan untuk penebusan sukuk Felda.

"Perdana Menteri semasa Sambutan Hari Peneroka Felda pada 7 Julai lalu mengumumkan bermula tahun ini, Kerajaan Perpaduan meluluskan peruntukan sehingga RM990 juta setahun bagi membolehkan penebusan semula sukuk Felda, antara lain bagi membiayai hapus kira hutang peneroka agensi berkenaan.

"Secara keseluruhan, inisiatif itu melibatkan bantuan kewangan kepada Felda sebanyak RM9.9 bilion bagi tempoh 10 tahun," menurut kenyataan itu.

Menurut Felda, kenyataan Perdana Menteri telah disalah tafsir sehingga menimbulkan kekeliruan dalam kalangan rakyat dengan janji kerajaan terdahulu untuk menghapuskan hutang peneroka Felda berjumlah RM8.3 bilion.

Terdahulu, Anwar menerusi kenyataan ringkas hari ini mengotakan janji beliau dengan mengemukakan sebahagian dokumen FSRA yang ditandatanganinya sebagai Menteri Kewangan pada 26 Jun lepas.

Tiga helaian berkaitan FSRA itu menunjukkan ia ditandatangani Anwar bagi pihak kerajaan, dengan Pengerusi Felda ketika itu Tan Sri Idris Jusoh dan Ketua Pengarah Felda Datuk Amiruddin Abdul Satar.

Pemeteraian dokumen itu disaksikan oleh Timbalan Ketua Setiausaha Perbendaharaan (Pelaburan) Kementerian Kewangan Datuk Anis Rizana Mohd Zainudin.

Anwar menerusi kenyataan sama turut mendesak bekas Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin untuk memohon maaf atas fitnah yang dilemparkan kepadanya berkaitan pelupusan hutang peneroka Felda.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today presented the Assignment for Financial Service Reserve Account (FSRA) agreement document related to the Government Guarantee to the Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) which he had signed.

He presented the document today following his statement yesterday to former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin that he will present evidence today that he had signed a document for the cancellation of Felda settlers' debt.

"I present part of the Assignment for Financial Service Reserve Account (FSRA) agreement document related to the government guarantee to Felda which I have signed," the Prime Minister said in a two-paragraph statement today.

In a separate statement, the Ministry of Finance today confirmed that the Assignment for Financial Service Reserve Account (FRSA) agreement was signed by the Prime Minister and Finance Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on June 26, 2023.

According to the ministry, this agreement involves a government guarantee of RM9.9 billion to Felda to restructure the agency's loans through the issuance of sukuk and revolving credit in an effort to restore Felda's financial position.

"Under the agreement, the government will finance the repayment of the sukuk through a grant allocation of RM990 million every year for a period of 10 years," it said in a media statement.

The ministry also confirmed that the first disbursement of RM990 million was made on July 18, 2023 in line with the allocations provided in Belanjawan Madani 2023.

It said the government's guarantee agreement and the distribution of allocations to Felda are important elements implemented by the Unity Government to ensure the survival of Felda, among others, taking into account the impact on Felda's cash flow and financial position following the elimination of the Felda settlers' debt.

PUTRAJAYA: The Ministry of Health (MoH) will recommend to the Election Commission (EC) to adopt existing COVID-19 prevention standard operating procedures (SOP) in the elections in six states and the Kuala Terengganu parliamentary by-election, said its minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa.

Speaking to the media after launching her ministry-level National Month and the Fly the Jalur Gemilang 2023 here today, she said that the MoH will also hold discussions with relevant agencies and departments including the EC if the SOP for preventing spread of COVID-19 need to be improved or revised based on the current COVID-19 situation.

Among the existing SOPs for the prevention of COVID-19 as applied in the 15th General Election (GE 15) last November is that individuals who are positive are allowed to vote subject to certain SOP, she said.

"So far if we look at the trend of the cases we are receiving, we take note and the SOP are already in place.

"But we will discuss if it is necessary to carry out measures that are different from the normal SOP and will discuss with the EC, the National Security Council (MKN) and the agencies involved if there needs to be other procedures for improvement," she said.

The EC has fixed for state elections in Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu, Penang, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan as well as the Kuala Terengganu parliamentary seat by-election to be held simultaneously, with Aug 12 set as polling day and July 29 as nomination day.

KUALA LUMPUR: Tesla has officially launched its all-new electric sports utility vehicle (SUV), Model Y, in Malaysia today, priced from RM199,000 to RM288,000.

Model Y is the newest and most affordable electric SUV offered by Tesla and has been designed and built as Tesla's first mass-market SUV, marking a significant milestone in the company's mission to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy.

Delivery for Malaysian customers will begin in early 2024.

Tesla regional director Isabel Fan said that the company has begun with low-volume production to prove the security and viability of electric cars compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles.

"The revenue generated allowed us to produce more affordable vehicles and eventually expand into the mass-market high-volume production.

"Tesla has established numerous factories worldwide, including in Texas, Berlin, Shanghai, Fremont, and Mexico, with an annual production capacity exceeding two million vehicles," she said at the official launch of the new model here, today.

She said that Tesla is also the world's largest fast-charging network provider, with approximately 5,000 supercharging stations, including about 2,000 stations in the Asia-Pacific region.

"The first indoor supercharger station, consisting of eight charging points, has been constructed in the basement of Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. However, it is awaiting the licence approval before it can be commissioned and fully utilised," she said.

Meanwhile, in a statement, Tesla said, like every Tesla vehicle, Model Y combines range, performance, safety, and technology. Being a mid-size SUV, it offers 2.1 cubic metres of cargo space, providing versatile seating and storage for up to five passengers with their belongings.

"Model Y will begin delivery to Malaysian customers in early 2024. Tesla is committed and excited to helping drive a zero-emission and greener future for Malaysia, it said.

In line with Malaysia's goal to promote low-carbon mobility and supporting the electric vehicle (EV) industry, Tesla customers will enjoy full import and excise duties exemption for newly registered zero-emission Tesla electric vehicles.

Customers can benefit from 100 per cent road tax exemption and individual income tax relief of up to RM2,500 on expenses re...

SARIKEI: Kementerian Kesihatan (KKM) melahirkan kebimbangan terhadap tindakan sebilangan penjaja air balang yang menggunakan akuarium ikan untuk menjual minuman.

Timbalan Menterinya Lukanisman Awang Sauni berkata pihaknya akan merujuk kepada bahagian atau unit yang bertanggungjawab di kementerian itu untuk tindakan.

"Kita bimbang penggunaan akuarium mungkin menjejaskan atau mencemarkan kualiti kualiti air tersebut dan kita akan teliti perkara ini," katanya kepada pemberita semasa melawat Hospital Sarikei di sini hari ini.

Beliau berkata demikian ketika diminta mengulas mengenai perkara tersebut yang tular di media sosial semalam.

Lukanisman percaya tindakan penjaja air balang itu adalah untuk menarik perhatian orang ramai.

"Tetapi kita mesti lihat kualiti bahan atau balang yang digunakan.

"Seperti yang di dalam Twitter ini, ia adalah sebuah akuariaum yang kebiasaannya untuk kegunaan memelihara ikan," katanya sambil menambah KKM akan melihat perkara tersebut dari sudut keselamatan dan kualiti makanan.

Sebuah akaun Twitter menggunakan nama "Jabatan Netizen Malaysia" dalam satu ciapan menyatakan perbuatan menjual air minuman menggunakan akuarium dan pam akuarium adalah salah, selain menegaskan silikon bukan bergred makanan digunakan untuk melekatkan kaca akuarium itu.

Ia menambah mereka yang ingin berniaga makanan wajib menyertai kursus mengendali makanan dan mereka akan diajar apa yang boleh atau tidak dilakukan dalam perniagaan makanan.

 A chief executive officer of a state Menteri Besar Incorporated (MBI) and a female company director were detained to assist investigations into alleged corruption and abuse of power in the mining sector, involving bribes exceeding RM13 million.

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) was granted a three-day remand order against the duo starting today by Magistrate Wan Shahida Abd Rahim at the Alor Star magistrate's court and Magistrate Norsyakirah Che Hashim at the Shah Alam magistrate's court today.

According to sources, the suspects, aged 63 and 40 respectively, were arrested separately in Alor Star and Kuala Lumpur late yesterday.

The sources claimed the mining activities were carried out illegally by the company which allegedly received protection from certain authorities since 2020.

It was learnt that the company, owned by the female director, was granted approval to carry out timber rubber clone planting for a forest farming project involving two compartments in Kedah in 2016.

The sources said in 2020, the same company submitted an application to the Kedah government to carry out rare earth element (REE) mining activities in the same compartments.

However, the state government has not issued any approval pertaining to the company's application to carry out the mining activity.

ALOR SETAR: Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail claimed that the Kedah Chief Minister's Corporation (MBI) knew about the theft of rare earth elements (REE) in the Bukit Enggang area, Sik, Kedah.

Saiffudin said that the Chief Minister of Kedah, Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor denied that MBI was involved or had anything to do with mineral theft when the issue was raised in the State Legislative Assembly (DUN).

However, he said, MBI should have known about the matter since it was the corporation that hired a group of Chinese workers to explore in the area.

Singapore opposition members quit in latest political shake-up

SINGAPORE: Two senior members of Singapore's largest opposition party quit on Wednesday after admitting to an inappropriate relationship, the latest scandal to hit a country otherwise used to stable and drama-free politics.

The Workers' Party (WP) said member of parliament Leon Perera and its youth wing president Nicole Seah had handed in letters of resignation after a video circulated on social media earlier this week showing the pair holding hands.

"The Constitution of the Workers' Party requires candidates to be honest and frank in their dealings with the party and the people of Singapore," Secretary-General Pritam Singh said, adding that Perera had been untruthful when first asked about the relationship in late 2020 to early 2021.

Seah had also denied the relationship when asked by party leaders at that time, Singh said, adding the pair's behaviour was "unacceptable".

This is the third scandal to rock Singapore's political landscape within a week.

Last week, the transport minister was arrested in connection with a graft investigation, and on Monday two lawmakers, including the house speaker, quit because of an inappropriate relationship. All three were members of the ruling People's Action Party (PAP).

Both the WP and the PAP have in the past sacked members for extramarital relationships.

National University of Singapore political scientist Chong Ja Ian said as the ruling party, the PAP had more to lose in light of the scandals engulfing its members, and that voters would judge its actions at the polls, due by 2025.

"The unknown is how many voters find (the PAP's) actions have addressed issues of authority, restraint, position, privilege, oversight, and transparency to their satisfaction."

In resignation letters shared by the party with the press, Perera and Seah, who were part of the party's top decision-making body, apologised to their families, constituents and the party.

With Perera's exit, WP is down to eight lawmakers in parliament from 10 who were elected in 2020, when the house was formed with a total of 93 lawmakers.

SEREMBAN: Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) Negeri Sembilan mahu kekal bertanding di kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Lenggeng pada Pilihan Raya Negeri (PRN) bulan depan.

Pengerusinya Datuk MK Ibrahim Abd Rahman berkata kerusi DUN Lenggeng yang telah dimenangi parti itu pada Pilihan Raya Umum ke-14 (PRU14) harus dipertahankan bagi memastikan wujudnya keseimbangan dan keadilan dalam perwakilan rakyat di negeri ini.

Beliau berkata Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Pimpinan Nasional parti itu pada 13 Julai lepas juga telah mengumumkan calon untuk semua kerusi yang akan ditandingi Amanah termasuk di DUN Lenggeng.







"Selagi belum diputuskan oleh Majlis Presiden (Majlis Presiden Pakatan Harapan), kita akan usaha sehabis baik untuk kekalkan kerusi berkenaan. Saya setiap hari berhubung dengan Presiden Amanah (Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu) dan pimpinan atas memang senada dengan pendirian kita (pertahan DUN Lenggeng)," katanya pada sidang media di sini hari ini.

Justeru, beliau berharap Majlis Presiden Pakatan Harapan akan mempertimbangkan perkara tersebut sekali gus bersama-sama dengan keputusan yang dibuat oleh Amanah negeri.

Baru-baru ini, Timbalan Presiden UMNO Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan dilaporkan berkata Barisan Nasional (BN) akan bertanding 17 kerusi DUN di negeri ini termasuk kerusi Lenggeng yang disandang oleh Amanah, namun MK Ibrahim terlebih dahulu mengumumkan parti itu kekal bertanding di DUN Lenggeng, Paroi dan Klawang.

Pada PRU14, Pakatan Harapan menguasai 20 kerusi iaitu DAP dengan 11 kerusi, PKR (enam) dan Amanah (tiga), manakala BN pula memenangi 16 kerusi iaitu UMNO (15) dan MIC satu kerusi daripada keseluruhan 36 kawasan DUN di negeri itu.

"...dan kalau tengok Menteri Besar Johor Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi juga turun padang bagi (meninjau dan mengambil langkah) melicinkan proses keluar masuk," katanya selepas menjadi tetamu pada program Ruang Bicara terbitan Bernama TV bertajuk 'Inisiatif Tangani Kesesakan Pintu Masuk Negara', Rabu malam.

Beliau berkata secara purata pergerakan keluar masuk di BSI adalah seramai 250,000 orang sehari, namun jumlah itu boleh bertambah dua kali ganda ketika musim perayaan dan cuti panjang manakala purata pergerakan keluar masuk bagi KSAB adalah seramai 10,000 orang sehari.

Mengenai inisiatif jabatan itu bagi menangani kesesakan di Terminal Satu Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur (KLIA), Ruslin berkata pihaknya dalam perancangan untuk mewujudkan 12 kaunter tambahan termasuk dua kaunter pemerhati bagi melancarkan urusan kemasukan pelancong ke dalam negara.

"Insya-Allah hujung tahun ini kita dapat laksanakan dengan kerjasama strategik antara Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) dan Kementerian Pengangkutan bagi memudahkan lagi dan mempercepat proses," katanya.

Mengulas mengenai dakwaan wujud budaya rasuah di pintu masuk negara, beliau berkata Jabatan Imigresen tidak akan bersikap defensif malah mengambil pendekatan terbuka untuk bekerjasama dengan mana-mana agensi penguatkuasaan bagi menjalankan siasatan.

PORT DICKSON: The Royal Malaysian Customs Department (JKDM) is offering a reward of 10 per cent of the value of the seizure to any individual who provides accurate information on the evasion of customs duties and taxes, we well as the perpetrators.

Deputy Minister of Finance I, Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan said the goods included cigarettes, liquor and vehicles with the identity of the informant being kept confidential.

"If the value of the seizure is worth RM1 million, then 10 per cent of that, which is RM100,000, will be given to the informant. There is indeed a provision for informants that we will evaluate according to category.

"We hope that more people will contact the JKDM if they see something suspicious, we consider these informants as category A, which means that when the JKDM arrives at the place, they can immediately arrest the perpetrators and seize the goods. It also includes cases involving drugs," he said.

He said this after officiating the Negeri Sembilan JKDM Community Service 2023 programme which was also attended by state JKDM director Mohammad Hafiz Ishak here today.

He added that information was needed to eradicate the activities that would harm the people and the country and that the rewards had been given out by JKDM for a long time but had not been announced.

"There is still a lot of this evil work being done out there, therefore I call on everyone to come forward and pass on the information by contacting JKDM in their respective areas... however, don't give false information," he said.

He said the duty and role of JKDM is not only to collect taxes or revenue for the country but also to maintain national order.

Meanwhile, Mohammad Hafiz in his speech, said that Negeri Sembilan JKDM had already recorded revenue collection amounting to more than RM300 million as of June 31 this year. The target for this year is RM588 million.

"I believe in the persistent efforts of the state JKDM in improving the results which to some extent can help the government's efforts in rehabilitating the national economy and further help the people," he said.

LONDON: India's Tata Group will build an electric vehicle battery plant in Britain to supply its Jaguar Land Rover factories, delivering a major boost for a car industry in need of domestic battery production to help secure its future.

Under the plan, announced by the government and Tata on Wednesday, the company will build its first gigafactory outside of India in Britain with an investment of 4 billion pounds ($5.2 billion), creating up to 4,000 jobs and producing an initial output of 40 gigawatt hours.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's government has declined to say how much financial support it promised in order to secure the investment and fend off Spain, which had also lobbied to win the project. The BBC said the government would provide subsidies worth hundreds of millions of pounds to Tata.

Britain has lagged European rivals in building electric vehicle (EV) battery gigafactories, with more than 30 planned or under construction across the European Union. Britain currently has one small Nissan plant and another in the works.

"Tata Group's multi-billion-pound investment in a new battery factory in the UK is testament to the strength of our car manufacturing industry and its skilled workers," Sunak said in the statement.

The new plant is expected to be built in Somerset, south-west England, while Jaguar Land Rover's UK factories are based near Birmingham, central England.

Production at the factory, which is set to supply JLR's future battery electric models, including the Range Rover, Defender, Discovery and Jaguar brands, is due to start in 2026, the government said.

Domestic production is vital for automakers which rely on heavy batteries being built near their car plants.

With an initial output of 40 gigawatt hours, Britain said the factory would provide almost half of the battery production needed by 2030. The Faraday Institution has projected UK battery demand to reach over 100 GWh a year by that time.

"With this strategic investment, the Tata Group further strengthens its commitment to the UK," Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran said in the statement.

SHOT IN THE ARM

Mike Hawes, head of Britain's auto industry group SMMT, said the investment was a shot in the arm for the UK.

KUALA LUMPUR: It is not appropriate to equate the arrest of Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor with that of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in 1998, said Pakatan Harapan (PH) communications director Fahmi Fadzil.

Fahmi said a better comparison for Muhammad Sanusi's case was the arrest of an elderly man in 2021 for allegedly making a statement insulting the Kedah Menteri Besar.

"It's different (Anwar's arrest and Sanusi's case). This is the narrative trying to be spun (by certain quarters). But the reality is that in 2021 there was an elderly man in his 60s who was arrested at 3 or 4 am for allegedly insulting Muhammad Sanusi.

"So to me that may be a more accurate comparison," Fahmi, who is Communications and Digital Minister, told reporters after the national-level Maal Hijrah 1445H/2023 celebration at World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL) here today.

He was commenting on media reports which described the arrest of Muhammad Sanusi by police at 3 am yesterday as somewhat reflective of what happened to Anwar during his arrest in 1998.

On Aug 9, 2021, a 61-year-old man was arrested at a house in Lenggeng, Negeri Sembilan at 3.57 am and remanded to help in investigations into the circulation of a video which insulted the Kedah Menteri Besar.

Yesterday, Muhammad Sanusi was arrested at about 3 am in Kuala Lumpur, after he could not be contacted by police to secure his attendance at the Selayang Sessions Court the same day to face two charges under the Sedition Act in relation to his remarks at a ceramah last week.

KUALA LUMPUR: Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor was arrested early this morning after he ignored the calls made by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM).

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said the telephone calls were made after police received instructions on the charges involving Muhammad Sanusi from the Attorney-General's Chambers yesterday.

He said police checks found Muhammad Sanusi was not in Kedah and was at a television station in the federal capital.

"He was not there, and he rejected our calls to inform him to be present in court. We also called him through his political secretary and other officers, but all calls were rejected," he told a special media conference at Bukit Aman here today.

Razarudin said Muhammad Sanusi was arrested because he was involved an investigation under the Sedition Act and the investigation found that the matter has a tendency of hatred and contempt related to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah and the Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.

IPOH: Pemuda Sosialis DAP (DAPSY) Perak membuat laporan kepada Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah (SPRM) bagi menjalankan siasatan berhubung penamatan surat hasrat (LOI) pembekalan kenderaan kerajaan yang berlaku ketika pentadbiran bekas Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

Setiausaha DAPSY Perak, Steven Tiw Tee Siang berkata siasatan itu perlu dilakukan kerana ia didakwa mempunyai elemen rasuah susulan pemberian kontrak bernilai RM700 juta kepada syarikat lain iaitu kos yang lebih tinggi berbanding bidaan syarikat usaha sama (JV) Kumpulan Berjaya dan Kumpulan Naza.

Sekiranya berlaku campur tangan dan unsur rasuah daripada mana-mana pihak, mereka wajar diheret ke mahkamah kerana RM700 juta ini adalah satu amaun yang besar dan pada masa itu negara sedang mengalami ketidakstabilan ekonomi.

Perlakuan tersebut adalah amat tidak bertanggungjawab dan perlu dikenakan tindakan yang sewajarnya.

Perkara ini tidak boleh diremehkan kerana apabila negara sedang mengalami ketidakstabilan ekonomi, ada pihak pula yang berani yang begitu berani sakau kewangan negara, dakwanya.

Beliau berkata demikian kepada pemberita pada sidang media selepas membuat laporan di Pejabat SPRM Perak Meru Raya dekat sini pada Selasa.

Hadir sama Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Jelapang, Cheah Pou Hian; ADUN Malim Nawar, Shasha Veraiah; ADUN Keranji, Angeline Koo Haai Yen serta ADUN Pasir Pinji, Goh See Hua.

Pada Isnin media melaporkan Kumpulan Berjaya dan Kumpulan Naza memfailkan saman terhadap Kementerian Kewangan (MoF) kerana menamatkan LOI yang ditawarkan kepada JV itu.

Pengasas dan Penasihat Kumpulan Berjaya, Tan Sri Vincent Tan, mendakwa LOI yang berkaitan dengan kontrak untuk membekalkan kenderaan kerajaan, ditamatkan tiga bulan selepas Muhyiddin mengambil alih jawatan Perdana Menteri daripada Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad pada Mac 2020.

Dakwa Vincent, perkhidmatan JV ditamatkan dan diberikan kepada syarikat lain dengan perbelanjaan RM700 juta lebih tinggi berbanding bidaan JV.

KUALA LUMPUR: Former coach of the national football team, B Sathianathan was reported to have died on Tuesday.

The sad news was shared by FIFA Media Officer who is also a former Member of the Executive Committee of the Malaysian Football Association, Christopher Raj.

"Rest in peace, Anna. You have fought well," said Chris on his Twitter page just now.

The deceased was reported to have died at the age of 65 and it is understood that the deceased died after a year of fighting cancer.

The deceased was the head coach of Harimau Malaya from 2007 to 2009.

Prior to that, the deceased also guided the national U-23 squad from 2006-2008 with the success of winning the Merdeka Football Festival in 2007 and becoming runner-up in 2008.

In addition, the late also led Kelantan to the Malaysia Cup in 2010 in addition to guiding ATM and Felda United to win the Premier League in 2012 and 2018 respectively.

He was also crowned as the best coach in the 2017 National Football Awards (ABK2017).

Previously, Sathianathan had been reported to be unwell and suffering from heart problems.

Following that, he no longer manages any team in the Malaysian League.

On the other hand, he appeared a lot in the live broadcast of Super League matches on Astro and his physique was seen to be getting thinner.

In October last year, through media reports, Sathianathan stated that he had fully recovered and was ready to return to coaching.

According to him, the attending physician informed him that he has recovered, based on the latest health report conducted on him.

Globally, Kaspersky's Anti-Phishing System prevented 507.85 million attempts to follow a phishing link, it said in a statement. - FREEPIK

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is among the top three phishing targets in Southeast Asia with a total of 8.27 million malicious emails blocked by Kaspersky Anti-Phishing System in 2022, said the global cybersecurity company.

Kaspersky thwarted 43.44 million phishing attacks in the region with Vietnam having the most attacks at 17.85 million followed by Malaysia in second position and Thailand at 6.28 million.

Globally, Kaspersky's Anti-Phishing System prevented 507.85 million attempts to follow a phishing link, it said in a statement.

Kaspersky Asia Pacific managing director Adrian Hia said the global phishing trend has risen and increased markedly last year.

This tactic remains a go-to infection technique for cybercriminals because it is "effective and easy to conduct," Hia said.

"As the bad actors continue to be creative to hack our human minds through topics we care about, we need to continuously raise our awareness and act to protect our devices against cyberthreats," he said.

According to Kaspersky in 2022, pages impersonating delivery services had the highest percentage of clicks on phishing links blocked by its solutions at 27.38 per cent, online stores (15.56 per cent), payment systems (10.39 per cent) and banks (10.39 per cent).

"Recently, we have seen an increase in targeted phishing attacks in which scammers do not immediately move on to the phishing attack itself, but only after several introductory emails with active correspondence with the victim.

"Our experts predict that this trend is likely to continue. New tricks are also likely to emerge in the corporate sector in 2023, with attacks generating significant profits for attackers," Hia added.

Singapore, by comparison, has increased its score by 25, pushing it up five places over the past 10 years to number one, Henley & Partners Chairman Dr. Christian H. Kaelin said. - Astro AWANI/Filepic

SINGAPORE is now officially the most powerful passport in the world, with its citizens able to visit 192 travel destinations out of 227 around the world visa-free, knocking Japan off the top spot on the Henley Passport Index, conducted by Henley & Partners.

The index, based on exclusive and official data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), showed that Japan has been knocked off the top spot for the first time in five years and bumped into third place, joining six other nations namely Austria, Finland, France, Luxembourg, South Korea and Sweden, with access to 189 destinations without a prior visa.

Germany, Italy and Spain all move up into second place with visa-free access to 190 destinations while the United Kingdom (UK) appears to have finally turned the corner after a six-year decline, jumping two places on the latest ranking to fourth place, a position it last held in 2017.

On the other hand, the United States (US) continues its now decade-long slide down the index, plummeting a further two places to eighth spot with access to just 184 destinations visa-free.

Henley & Partners Chairman Dr. Christian H. Kaelin says only eight countries worldwide have less visa-free access today than they did a decade ago, while others have been more successful in securing greater travel freedom for their citizens.

"The UAE has added an impressive 107 destinations to its visa-free score since 2013, resulting in a massive leap of 44 places in the ranking over the past 10 years from 56th to 12th position.

"Of the countries sitting in the Top 10, the US has seen the smallest increase in its score, securing just 12 additional destinations. Singapore, by comparison, has increased its score by 25, pushing it up five places over the past 10 years to number one," he added in a statement.

The general trend over the history of the 18-year-old ranking has been towards greater travel freedom, with the average number of destinations travellers are able to access visa-free nearly doubling from 58 in 2006 to 109 in 2023.

However, the global mobility gap between those at the top and bottom of the index is now wider than it has ever been, with top-ranked Singapore able to access 165 more destinations v...

AGC has strong case against Sanusi, says DPM Ahmad Zahid

Kedah MB Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor was charged in the Selayang Sessions Court here earlier today with uttering seditious words regarding the appointment of the Selangor MB during a political talk last week. - Astro AWANI/SHAHIR OMAR

KUALA LUMPUR: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the Attorney-General's Chambers has a strong case to charge Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor in court.

He said that the charges against Muhammad Sanusi also had nothing to do with the Aug 12 state elections as well as the decree issued by the Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah who said that the issue regarding the statement by Muhammad Sanusi, which is considered insulting to the Selangor royal institution, is not over yet.

"In my opinion, the prosecution was made because the AGC has a strong case, so if he is innocent, the court is the best platform to answer all the accusations and defend himself," he told reporters after launching the 2023 MARA Educator Awards Day here today.

The Minister of Rural and Regional Development was commenting on Pendang MP Datuk Awang Hashim's statement that Muhammad Sanusi's prosecution was to 'cripple' the progress of PAS and Perikatan Nasional (PN) ahead of the state polls.

Asked why Muhammad Sanusi was arrested at 3 am, Ahmad Zahid, who is also UMNO president, said it was the enforcement agency's right to do so.

"That's the right of the enforcement agency, they can make an arrest at any time, 24/7," he said.
