[TOP NEWS PODCAST] Muda in Motion & Rebellion
Muda has been making headlines - but what's really happening behind the scenes? In this episode of Top News Podcast, we dive deep into the party's current direction, internal pressures, and ongoing struggles within Malaysia's political landscape.
Joining us is Amira Aisya Abdul Aziz, Muda's Acting President and Puteri Wangsa Assemblywoman. She opens up about her journey in the opposition, the emotional toll of political battles, and the realities of being a young leader in a system built to resist change.
From the renewed protests against MACC Chief Azam Baki to Syed Saddiq's ongoing court case, Amira offers a raw and honest take on what it means to fight for accountability when the institutions meant to protect justice seem to shield power instead.
She also talks about the rising cost of living, how it's affecting everyday Malaysians, and why youth voices especially students are more important than ever.
Amira reflects on the double standards faced by opposition reps, including her own challenges funding her constituency with a limited budget despite serving over 120,000 voters.

KUCHING (July 4): A total of 195 residents from Bario took part in the Integrity and Anti-Corruption Outreach Programme held at SMK Bario recently, organised by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Sarawak in collaboration with the Bario Secondary School Alumni Association (BSSAA). The programme began with three concurrent knowledge-sharing sessions, each tailored to students, educators, and community leaders. The first session, held in the school hall and conducted by MACC senior superintendent Maini William, focused on instilling integrity values among youths while emphasising their role in cultivating a corruption-free culture from a young age. The second session, conducted by MACC Sarawak deputy director (prevention) Wan Ahmad Nidzam on the first floor of the public library, targeted teachers from SMK Bario and SK Bario. The session highlighted the responsibility of educators as agents of change in shaping a culture of integrity within schools and the wider community. Simultaneously, the third session was held on the ground floor of the public library for local community leaders and government department heads. Led by MACC Sarawak director Hasbilah Mohamad Salleh, the discussion centred on strengthening clean, ethical, and corruption-free governance at the community and departmental levels. The event continued with speeches from SMK Bario principal Robin Amir, BSSAA president Datin Pearl Masna Mohan, and Bario Sub-District administrative officer Richard Usah, representing Deputy Minister in Sarawak Premier's Department (Labour, Immigration and Project Monitoring) and Mulu assemblyman Datuk Gerawat Gala, also an alumnus of SMK Bario. The programme's official launch was performed by Hasbilah, who also officiated at the opening of 'The Lentern Nook', an open reading corner established in SMK Bario. Souvenirs were presented to the school and BSSAA, followed by a Corruption-Free Pledge (Ikrar Bebas Rasuah) led by the community and witnessed by Richard. In the evening, the MACC Sarawak delegation led by Hasbilah visited the Bario Asal Longhouse upon special invitation from the BSSAA. Pearl, hailing from the longhouse community, facilitated the visit. 'The spirit of honesty and cooperation that has long been central to Kelabit culture is in line with the principles of integrity championed by MACC. 'We hope this visit will further strengthen the bond between MACC and the Bario community,' said Hasbilah in the session with the villagers. Bario MACC outreach programme

Saravanan: 'MIC has submitted proposals for inclusion in the 13th Malaysia Plan'
MIC has submitted an eight-thrust agenda to the government. The comprehensive plan covers proposals for improving university intake, preschool education, women's empowerment, religious affairs, economic opportunities, and community-specific programmes. MIC deputy president Datuk Seri M. Saravanan emphasised specific programmes to resolve social issues within the community, stating the 13MP offers a crucial chance for significant change. Traditional methods are no longer sufficient and urged the government to embrace innovative, targeted solutions to the challenges faced by the Indian community, which demands both commitment and a strategic approach. 'Malaysia needs to brace itself for becoming an aging nation by 2030. All-encompassing policies are required to back the aging population and guarantee their welfare,' asserted the former human resource minister. It is crucial for young Malaysians to acquire future-ready skills to navigate an increasingly competitive job landscape, the Tapah MP added. 'The youth should focus on building resilient skills for the Industrial Revolution 4.0, with a strong emphasis on artificial intelligence and robotics,' he added. Saravanan further noted that employers today are looking for applicants who are proficient in both technical and soft skills. He highlighted the critical need to prepare young Malaysians with future-ready skills to navigate an increasingly competitive job market. 'With a focus on talent, education and skills, it will be relevant and applicable to all Malaysians,' Saravanan stressed. ‒ June 4, 2025 Main image: The Edge Malaysia

Putra Heights gas pipeline fire: MCA calls for RCI, says residents 'deserve the truth'
MCA has called for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to recommend, with His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia's consent, to establish a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to probe the Putra Heights gas pipeline blaze on April 1. This is after the police had, on July 1, classified the incident as No Further Action (NFA) following criminal investigations that found no element of negligence or sabotage. 'Over three months have passed since the tragic gas pipeline explosion in Putra Heights, which destroyed over 80 homes and displaced hundreds of residents,' stated its vice president Datuk Ir. Lawrence Low. 'Yet recently, police concluded the case with an NFA classification—an announcement that left victims shocked and the public justifiably disheartened. 'As representatives of the people, we are deeply concerned that such a swift conclusion risks undermining public confidence in our justice system.' According to Low, Malaysians are not asking for closure by formality but are asking for truth, responsibility and justice, adding that if the current investigation cannot provide these answers, a more credible and authoritative body must step in. 'Community associations in the affected areas have voiced serious doubts about the transparency of the investigation. Their calls for an independent review must be taken seriously,' he continued. 'This was not an isolated event—it raises grave questions about national safety. With over 2,680 kilometres of gas pipelines beneath our towns and cities, how many more hazards remain undetected? 'The victims deserve to know why this happened, who is accountable, and what steps are being taken to prevent a recurrence.' Low said while the party welcomes Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari's move to establish a state-level committee, the scale of this disaster goes beyond state borders with implications touching national energy security and regulatory oversight. 'Therefore, we respectfully urge the Prime Minister to recommend, with His Majesty's consent, to establish of an RCI,' he said. 'The RCI must be independent, transparent, and led by experts in law, engineering, and disaster management. Its findings should be made fully accessible to the public and reported directly to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.' To move forward, MCA further proposed five urgent measures: Establish the RCI to investigate the explosion and recommend systemic reforms; Release all technical and forensic reports and form a technical task force team consisting of geological and geotechnical specialists to assess the affected and surrounding infrastructure; Provide legal support to victims to pursue compensation and safeguard their rights; Create a national dialogue platform to connect Petronas, local authorities, and residents; and Launch a transparent system to track each household's recovery and compensation progress. 'Residents in places like USJ and Subang Jaya now live in fear, unsure if their homes sit above the next disaster. We cannot allow silence or bureaucracy to deepen that fear. We must act—firmly, fairly, and with the victims at the heart of every decision,' Low stressed. Earlier today, Amirudin was quoted by Bernama as saying that the committee would comprise representatives from the state and federal governments, Petronas and relevant technical agencies to examine the findings of the full investigation report into the fire, which was submitted by the police and the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) on June 26. He also said the committee would also propose follow-up measures to be undertaken by the government, including from a legal perspective and other related matters, after examining the report. The blaze and explosion on April 1 destroyed 81 houses with structural damage exceeding 40%, partially destroyed another 81 and affected 57 without burning, while 218 houses were unaffected, including those in Kampung Tengah, Puchong. ‒ July 4, 2025
