PKR's Digital Platform Virtual Campaigns Convey Message Effectively To Grassroots
KOTA BHARU, May 16 (Bernama) -- Incumbent and candidate for the post of PKR Deputy President, Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli is confident that the campaign approach through digital platforms can convey the party's message more effectively to the grassroots and representatives, even though the campaign period is only about a week long.
Rafizi said that PKR's strength on social media has always been an advantage in reaching not only party members at the grassroots level, but also the people who support the party's struggle.
"Every night, over 20,000 views are recorded for the virtual campaign sessions. This is not an election season, just a party election, yet this response shows that our message is getting through.

"What is important is that the message resonates with the core base of PKR ordinary members, representatives, and the people who support us," he said.
He said this to reporters after speaking at the Program Tour to Revive Reformasi Idealism in Power Test (HIRUK) Zone of Kelantan and Terengganu at the National Department of Culture and Arts (JKKN) Complex in Kelantan, Tanjong Chat, here tonight.
Meanwhile, commenting on the statement from the PKR Discipline Board urging all candidates and supporters to stop personal attacks, Rafizi said that this matter should be taken positively by all candidates.

War in the middle-east: Iran ready to end attacks if Israel halts assault
Huge smoke rises up from an oil facility facility after it appeared to have been hit by an Israeli strike Saturday, in southern Tehran, Iran, Sunday, June 15, 2025. -- AP Photo TEHRAN (Bernama-Anadolu): Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Sunday that Iran is ready to halt its attacks on Israel if Tel Aviv ends its assault on Tehran, Anadolu Ajansi reported. Speaking to foreign ambassadors in Tehran, Araghchi emphasised that the war was "imposed' on Tehran and that Iran was left with no choice but to respond. "Our defence is fully legitimate and will be carried out with strength, solely in response to aggression,' he said. "If the attacks cease, Iran's retaliatory actions will also end.' Tensions have sharply escalated between Iran and Israel following coordinated Israeli airstrikes on multiple sites across Tehran, including military and nuclear facilities, on Friday, prompting Iran to launch retaliatory strikes within hours. On Saturday night, Iran initiated a second wave of its operation, dubbed True Promise III, targeting primarily economic and industrial facilities in the Israeli port city of Haifa. In parallel, Israeli strikes hit the Defence Ministry and oil depots in Tehran. Iran said that 78 people were killed on the first day of the Israeli assault, and scores, including children, were killed on the second. The flare-up in hostilities led to the suspension of indirect nuclear negotiations between Iran and the US, which had been mediated by Oman. The sixth round of talks had been scheduled for Sunday in Muscat. - Bernama-Anadolu

Raja of Perlis: Unity crucial for Madani society, urges collective effort
KANGAR: Unity among people of different races, religions, and ethnicities is a vital asset and a central pillar in achieving the formation of a Madani society and nation, which the government is currently pursuing, said the Raja of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Jamalullail. His Royal Highness said that since unity is the key to the success and well-being of the people, continuous efforts must be made by all levels of society. "Everyone must realise their role and responsibility in contributing to the strengthening of unity and values. "Unity is not the responsibility of a single party. It requires a collective effort from government agencies, non-governmental organisations, community leaders, educational institutions, and every individual. "We all have a part to play. "Let us make our homes, schools, workplaces, and communities' platforms to nurture the spirit of unity and love among people," His Royal Highness said at the official opening of this year's state-level Unity Week celebration here today. Gracing the event was Raja Perempuan of Perlis, Tuanku Tengku Fauziah Almarhum Tengku Abdul Rashid. Raja Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail, Raja Puan Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Dr Hajah Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil and Deputy Minister of National Unity, Senator Saraswathy Kandasami were also in attendance. Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin said the challenges to unity have become increasingly complex, ranging from issues of racism to extremist ideologies, emphasising that initiatives like Unity Week should serve as a platform to strengthen inter-ethnic interaction, broaden community networks, and foster understanding among communities. "Therefore, I hope that this programme will achieve its goals by ensuring that the element of unity becomes the foundation in every action and interaction, based on mutual respect, cooperation, consensus, and tolerance," the Ruler said. Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin also urged the people of Perlis, regardless of their background, to continue supporting this noble effort to ensure the continuity of harmony and stability in the state and the nation. – Bernama

Malaysia To Contact Iran For Route Through Strait Of Hormuz Remain Open
GENERAL KUALA LUMPUR, June 15 (Bernama) -- Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan will contact his Iranian counterpart, Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, to request that the crucial oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) export route through the Strait of Hormuz remain open. He said that if the strait were to be closed, it could disrupt oil trade routes from the Middle East, leading to a global oil shortage and pushing up prices in the international market. 'There are rumours that Iran may close the supply route in the Strait of Hormuz, which serves as the gateway to the Iran-Oman border, a move that could potentially affect the global oil supply chain. 'This will cause serious complications for the world because a lot of oil supplies come from that area, especially from Iran and Qatar, so we hope that this will not be done and I will try to contact my Iranian counterpart, Araghchi, tonight or tomorrow, to think about it,' he told reporters after opening the Cheras UMNO Delegates' Meeting here today. He said that while Malaysia understands Iran's current position and the tense situation it faces, the country also bears a responsibility to the international community and the smooth flow of global trade. The global market, he added, is closely watching developments in the Strait of Hormuz, amid growing concerns that the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran could disrupt shipping traffic through the narrow and strategic passage. According to a report by Anadolu Agency, the Strait of Hormuz, located between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, is a vital sea route, with about a third of global oil trade, or 17 to 20 million barrels of crude oil and condensate, passing through it every day. About 70 per cent of that amount was sent to Asia, including China, Japan, India, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Pakistan and the Philippines, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). Meanwhile, Mohamad said the Foreign Ministry had issued a statement asking Malaysians in Iran, Iraq and Jordan to contact the Malaysian embassy in the respective country.
