Rebuilding Putra Heights homes only 24pc complete, MB says Selangor to review progress
Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said the state government will also review the progress of the reconstruction and repair of the victims' homes to ensure work is going on smoothly.
'As I said at the recent Selangor State Legislative Assembly, the process will be completed in October. Yes, it will take some time because it depends on the severity of the damage, but if the (construction) work is slow, we will review it.
'I also mentioned at the assembly sitting the other day that the work is currently at 22 to 24 per cent progress, and carried out by Syarikat Perumahan Negara Berhad (SPNB), while rebuilding work in Kampung Kuala Sungai Baharu is progressing much faster,' he said.
He said this at a media conference after the Selangor Joint Committee for Industrial Coordination (JBI) meeting that he co-chaired with the Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI), Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Aziz, at Dewan Jubli Perak here today.
Amirudin also denied that there is a difference in the assistance received between victims in Kampung Kuala Sungai Baharu and Taman Putra Heights, adding that it instead depended on the damage suffered based on the stipulated ceiling payment.
'The houses (of the victims) in Putra Heights were completely damaged. We have several categories: houses that are recorded as total loss (will get) up to RM300,000, and those with minor damage up to RM60,000. There are certain processes between the two, there is no difference,' he said. — Bernama

Philippines Speaker to Senate: Impeach bid seeks answers Sara Duterte never gave
MANILA: The impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte was not motivated by politics but by a desire to hear answers she failed to provide, House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez told the Senate on Thursday (Aug 7). In a statement issued a day after the Senate voted 19-4 to archive the articles of impeachment, Romualdez said there should be no rush to bury the complaints, stressing that the House acted in good faith and not out of spite toward Duterte. 'Yesterday, the Senate—not sitting as an impeachment court—moved swiftly to archive the complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte, despite the case still pending before the Supreme Court (SC),' he said. 'Why the rush?' Romualdez asked. 'The Constitution is clear: Only the House has the exclusive power to initiate impeachment. That power is final within its sphere. We exercised that power lawfully, transparently, and in good faith—not out of spite, but out of duty. Not to attack, but to ask for answers—answers the Vice President never gave.' According to Romualdez, the House acted in pursuit of accountability, believing the prosecution team had strong evidence against Duterte. However, he lamented that the impeachment move was met with personal attacks instead of recognition that the House holds the sole power to initiate impeachment. 'This was never about political maneuvering. It was about accountability—pananagutan—anchored on verified facts and sworn documents,' he said. 'Yet we have been met with personal attacks, sweeping accusations, and a narrative that seeks to reduce a solemn constitutional duty to mere power play. That's not just unfair—it's dangerous. It undermines public trust in the very tools of democratic checks and balances,' he added. Romualdez also said the case should not be considered dead as the House has filed a motion for reconsideration, meaning the Supreme Court has not yet issued a final decision on the petitions against the impeachment. 'To archive is, in effect, to bury the Articles of Impeachment. Yet the ruling of the Supreme Court is not final. On August 5, the House of Representatives filed a Motion for Reconsideration. The Court found our arguments serious enough to require the respondents, including the Vice President, to submit their comment. The case is active,' he said. 'More than one-third of House Members signed the verified complaint. Under the Constitution, that triggered the automatic transmittal of the Articles of Impeachment. No referral to committee was needed. No further plenary action was required. The process was complete,' he added. During the Senate session on Wednesday night, senators explained their votes on the motion to archive the impeachment complaint. Senator Alan Peter Cayetano said he voted to archive the complaint, arguing that impeachment should not be used by political opponents as a tool for revenge. Cayetano added that those opposing Duterte's possible presidential bid in 2028 should challenge her at the polls. 'Isn't what the Supreme Court said correct? There can be an impeachment, but this should not be used by political opponents. If we do not want Vice President Sara to be elected president, beat her in 2028,' he said. Senate President Francis Escudero, who also voted to archive the impeachment, questioned whether proponents were genuinely pursuing accountability or simply opposed to the Dutertes. 'Today, Mr. President, the very supremacy of the Supreme Court is being called into question, and with it, the very foundation of the rule of law. As Senate President, a member of this chamber, and a member of the Bar, I will not sit idly by and allow this,' Escudero said. 'To those seeking to disregard the Supreme Court's decision, I ask this simple question: Are you truly for accountability or simply anti-Duterte? Do you truly respect and want to preserve the Constitution, or do you simply hate the Vice President? Are you serving the nation's interest or protecting and pursuing your own personal ambitions or agenda?' he asked. Romualdez's name was brought up during the Senate discussions. Escudero noted that critics of the Supreme Court decision, such as the Philippine Constitution Association, are associated with Romualdez. Senator Imee Marcos—a known Duterte ally and Romualdez's cousin—also called on House members to consider replacing the Speaker. Romualdez insisted they were not challenging the Senate, but merely speaking on behalf of people seeking truth and accountability. 'Let's be clear: The filing of the complaint was not rushed. What was rushed—remarkably—was its burial. This moment will be remembered. And when it is, we hope it will be said: That the House stood its ground. That we honored our constitutional duty. That we acted not for ourselves, but for the Filipino people,' he said. 'We do not rise against the Senate. We rise for the Republic. Tuloy ang laban. For the Constitution. For the rule of law. And for the enduring truth that no public office is ever beyond the reach of accountability,' he added. On February 5, 215 members of the House filed and signed a fourth impeachment complaint against Duterte. It was based on alleged misuse of confidential funds, threats against ranking officials, and possible violations of the 1987 Constitution. The articles of impeachment were immediately transmitted to the Senate on the same day, in line with the constitutional provision requiring a trial once at least one-third of House members—102 of 306—endorse the complaint. In February, two petitions were filed before the Supreme Court seeking to stop the impeachment. One was from Mindanao-based lawyers who said the House failed to act on the complaints within the 10-session-day rule. Duterte, represented by lawyers including her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, also petitioned the SC, arguing that the complaint violated the one-year bar on initiating impeachment against the same official. On July 25, SC spokesperson Camille Ting announced that the justices had unanimously declared the House's transmittal of the complaint to the Senate unconstitutional for violating the one-year bar rule. This prompted the Senate to deliberate on whether to proceed with the impeachment trial. Meanwhile, Duterte faces several allegations, including the improper use of confidential funds. The House committee on good government and public accountability investigated irregularities involving both her offices: the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education. One discovery involved acknowledgment receipts (ARs) for confidential expenses that appeared to be signed by people with unusual names. Antipolo Rep. Romeo Acop flagged the name 'Mary Grace Piattos,' which resembled a potato chip brand and restaurant. - Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN

Tengku Zafrul: Neglect workers and SEA risks extreme political backlash like in West
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 7 — Senator Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz today urged Southeast Asian companies to learn from the rise of trade protectionism in Western countries, calling on them to take proactive steps to ensure their growth is fair and benefits all levels of society. Speaking at the PRAXIS public policy conference at KLCC, the minister of trade, investment and industry said companies in the region must do their part to avoid the trend seen in developed countries, where years of declining living standards for workers have fuelled support for far-right movements. 'I fear the long-term trend where more and more people are challenging the current world economic order,' Zafrul said, in response to a question from a forum moderator. 'We're now seeing governments questioning the current global economic model and calling for a new one. People are increasingly turning to the far right or left. If Malaysians end up worse off, we too may become inward-looking,' he added. He said companies must be ready for such changes and should make sure their growth is inclusive. Asean members are among some of the worst hit by President Donald Trump's aggressive trade policy, a move that has been described as an attempt to redraw the global trade order and bring back manufacturing jobs to the US. Creating jobs was a key election promise of Trump's campaign platform that helped the right-wing tycoon get re-elected for a second term.

ITMAX secures 10-year smart parking contract from Shah Alam City Council
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 7 — ITMAX System Bhd, via its 70 per cent-owned subsidiary Selmax Sdn Bhd, has secured a 10-year contract from the Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) to manage the Selangor Intelligent Parking (SIP) system. In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, ITMAX said the contract includes an option for a five-year extension, subject to assessments by MBSA and SIP system provider Rantaian Mesra Sdn Bhd (RMSB), a wholly owned unit of Menteri Besar Selangor Inc (MBI). Selmax, which accepted the revised letter of appointment (LOA) from MBSA on Aug 1, 2025, referencing the original appointment dated July 9, 2025, will also manage parking compounds in areas under the jurisdiction of MBSA. All three parties, Selmax, MBSA and RMSB, will enter into a tripartite agreement to formalise the arrangement. 'The LOAs are expected to contribute positively towards the earnings and net assets per share of the company over the period until the expiry of the contract period,' ITMAX said. The smart parking operator added that all parking collections would be distributed based on the revenue-sharing arrangement comprising 10 per cent for RMSB, MBSA (40 per cent) and Selmax (50 per cent). — Bernama
