He emphasized the council's commitment to resolving complaints within 24 hours, reinforcing its dedication to enhancing public service quality. 'We really welcome all parties to provide their views. We don't view ourselves as perfect, so when we accept criticism and suggestions, we can improve from time to time,' he added.

'Turun Anwar' Rally Proves Opposition Running Out Of Ideas

KUALA LUMPUR, July 24 (Bernama) -- The 'Turun Anwar' rally this Saturday is the culmination of Perikatan Nasional (PN)'s mental block to present ideas as an alternative to the alleged accusation that the "government has failed to manage the economy". Political Secretary to Finance Minister Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim said current figures and reports showed that the country's economy is recovering and growing consistently, thus burying their baseless claims. "Growth, inflation, unemployment rates, investment volumes are being demonised because of hatred and greed. "This is clear evidence of how they have failed to argue and propose alternatives to the various good policies that we have translated," said the Angkatan Muda Keadlilan (AMK) chief in a tweet on X today. He said while the country's leaders are working hard to develop the country, the opposition has chosen the path of fighting, and even to this day they have failed to present a candidate to replace Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. However, Muhammad Kamil said the MADANI government upholds freedom, especially to assemble peacefully, while informing that the prime minister has given assurances that there will be no intimidation from the authorities. "However, demonstrating just to hate Anwar Ibrahim physically shows how weak, shallow and inept their politics are in the face of our agility in translating the wishes and desires of the people now," said Kamil. -- BERNAMA

Ringgit Ends Higher Against US Dollar, Other Major Currencies On Malaysia-US Trade Deal Optimism

By Fatin Umairah Abdul Hamid KUALA LUMPUR, July 24 (Bernama) -- The ringgit ended higher against the US dollar, buoyed by optimism that Malaysia could secure a more favourable trade deal with the United States (US), said an analyst. The local note also traded higher versus the US dollar for the fifth consecutive day. At 6 pm, the ringgit rose to 4.2135/2210 against the greenback from Wednesday's close of 4.2255/2300. Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz said Malaysia is actively engaging in discussions with the US over the impending 25 per cent tariff rate set to take effect on Aug 1, aiming to secure a rate below 20 per cent. SPI Asset Management managing partner Stephen Innes said regional tailwinds further lifted sentiment after US President Donald Trump concluded a trade deal with Japan on Tuesday, which included reducing tariffs on the import of Japanese goods into the US to 15 per cent from 25 per cent. 'These developments are fuelling hopes that Washington's broader tariff strategy is shifting from confrontation to compromise. 'Against this backdrop, investors see Malaysia as a likely beneficiary of the next wave of bilateral deals,' he told Bernama. Innes added that the ringgit's recent gains may signal its potential to benefit from improved trade conditions following the US-Japan agreement.
