MADANI Framework Remains Grounded In Strong Moral Values, National Unity
PUTRAJAYA, July 27 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today reaffirmed the government's commitment to ensuring that Malaysia's development under the MADANI framework remains grounded in strong moral values and national unity. Speaking at a Majlis Ilmu MADANI event with Islamic scholars at Kompleks Seri Perdana here today, Anwar said that even though Malaysia is a multiracial country, the values of Islam are important in guiding its future. He added that while Malaysia wants to keep up with modern technology and move forward quickly, it should always stay true to strong morals and compassion. "We need to progress. We need to ensure that there is peace and political stability, to craft an economic move forward at a faster pace, an accelerated pace. But at the same time, we are mindful of the fact that as Muslims, the issue of values is very pertinent," he said. Also present were Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar and Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek. Yusuf Islam, the British musician formerly known as Cat Stevens and Dr Shaykha Haifaa Younis, an American Board Certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist who is also a prominent Islamic scholar, were also present. On Gaza, Anwar said the world must not forget the pain and suffering endured by the Palestinian people amid the ongoing war in Gaza. Meanwhile, Haifaa also shared her Gaza journey where the place transformed her into a more spiritual person and left an unshakable imprint on her heart. 'The ummah (the Muslim community) is going through a tough time. Gaza is bleeding. It hurts deeply when I raise my hands to Allah, I know everyone is doing their best, but still I ask, what more can we do.

Hajiji, who is also the Chief Minister, said this was because many of Sabah's demands under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) had been approved and implemented for the benefit of the people, leaving no reason for GRS not to support the MADANI Government. 'I would like to reiterate that GRS remains supportive of the Prime Minister. Many of our initiatives and demands under MA63 have been approved by him. bootstrap slideshow 'Previously, it was very difficult to devolve powers or approve our requests... if the MADANI Government is good for our state, why wouldn't we support it?' he said here tonight. Hajiji, who is also president of Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (Gagasan Rakyat), said this in his winding-up speech before adjourning the Gagasan Rakyat Annual General Assembly. Hajiji further explained that GRS decided to shift its support to the MADANI Government after the previous administration was said to have expressed dislike for the term 'Borneo Bloc'. bootstrap slideshow 'I was shocked by those remarks... I reflected on it for a long time and eventually lost heart in them. After much consideration, I made the decision (to support the MADANI Government),' he said. Meanwhile, Hajiji told reporters that he would also be attending the Malaysia-Indonesia Annual Consultation in Jakarta, which, among others, would discuss matters concerning the Sulawesi Sea. -- BERNAMA

Nurul Izzah Pays Tribute To Bangladesh's July Revolution At Dhaka Conference
WORLD NEW DELHI, July 27 (Bernama) -- Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) deputy president Nurul Izzah Anwar on Sunday paid tribute to the 2024 student-led uprising in Bangladesh as a quest for sovereignty and dignity. Bangladesh is holding a series of events to mark the first anniversary of the fall of Sheikh Hasina's nearly 16-year rule as a result of what has become known as the July Revolution. She said the events of last year were not just a protest but became an avenue for the rebirth of the nation's spirit. "At the end of the day, any regime, no matter how powerful, cannot stand against the will of an awakened people," Nurul Izzah said. Hasina resigned and fled to India on August 5 as protests mounted against her rule across Bangladesh. Nurul Izzah said the July Revolution is a reminder that "stability without justice is fragile." She also referred to the ongoing genocide by Israel in Gaza in her speech, which covered wide-ranging topics such as democratic and political reforms, her own struggles, youth activism and economic empowerment. Nurul Izzah said the "enabling of the genocidal onslaught in Gaza by the hegemons and their ilk reminds us of the need to reaffirm our solidarity." She spoke alongside international and Bangladeshi speakers at the first International Conference on the July Revolution, organised by the Dhaka-based think tank Research and Integrated Thought (RIT) and Dhaka University's Department of Political Science.
