He said Sabah's position was conveyed during the discussions, with several related matters now undergoing further refinement. While declining to reveal specific topics, Hajiji noted that the outcomes of the meeting are expected to benefit the state in due course. He clarified that the issue of Ambalat was not part of the consultation agenda, as it falls under international legal jurisdiction.

Also present were Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto and Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg. Hajiji was accompanied by key Sabah officials and had earlier attended a pre-council meeting chaired by the Prime Minister in preparation for the talks. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Prabowo reconciles with opposition through pardons
JAKARTA: President Prabowo Subianto has taken a major stride to reconcile with two convicted opposition figures by granting them clemency and eliminating their prison sentences, a move widely seen as an effort to curb dissent and stabilise his first term in office. In an unexpected move, Prabowo submitted a request with the House of Representatives requesting abolition for former trade minister Thomas Lembong as well as amnesty for 1,116 convicts, including Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) secretary-general Hasto Kritiyanto. Thomas was sentenced for 4.5 years in prison after the court found him guilty in a corruption case pertaining to raw sugar import. Meanwhile, the Jakarta Corruption Court sentenced Hasto last week to 3.5 years in prison over bribery pertaining to a 2019 legislative seat appointment scheme. House Deputy Speaker Sufmi Dasco Ahmad and Law Minister Supratman Andi Agtas, both from Prabowo's Gerindra Party, announced on Thursday (July 31) night that the legislature approved the proposal following consultations between the government and House party factions. Supratman confirmed that he initiated both clemency requests, citing 'national interest, political unity and the individuals' past contributions' to the country. 'This is about thinking in terms of the republic. Both individuals have demonstrated service to the nation, and the priority now is to strengthen our cohesion,' he told reporters during the briefing at the Senayan legislative complex in Jakarta. Deputy State Secretary Juri Ardiantoro reiterated national unity as the motivation behind the decision: 'If we want to move forward, it must be together through mutual cooperation.' He dismissed notions that Prabowo was seeking to interfere with the legal process, stressing that all Indonesian citizens are entitled to equal treatment under the law. Analysts called Prabowo's clemency for Thomas and Hasto a politicization of the justice system, warning that the decision risks eroding judicial independence and weakening Indonesia's anticorruption efforts. Constitutional law expert Bivitri Susanti slammed the move as a form of 'legal politicisation' with legal matters being settled through political means. She warned that such actions could undermine the rule of law. 'It may appear to solve problems for [Thomas and Hasto] as well as their supporters. But this is still political interference. It could create a dangerous precedent for antigraft efforts,' Bivitri said. She added that normal legal avenues, including appealing the court verdict, were still available, as legal teams of both convicts indicated that they had planned to file a petition with the appellate court. Lawyers of both convicts welcomed Prabowo's decision to give their clients pardons. Hasto's legal representative Ronny Talapessy insisted that the case was 'politically charged since the beginning', while Thomas' legal team said that the abolition should not be seen as 'acknowledging wrongdoing'. Both Thomas and Hasto's camps claimed both cases were politically motivated and driven by their criticism toward former president Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo, who tacitly backed Prabowo in last year's election. Thomas served as a co-captain of failed presidential candidate Anies Baswedan's campaign in the 2024 election. Meanwhile, PDI-P, the only de facto opposition party in the legislature, has repeatedly said the probe into Hasto was an effort to target him for being critical to Jokowi, a former member of the nationalist party. With both convicts pardoned, analysts see the chance of a strong opposition emerging against Prabowo's administration growing slim, as an amnesty for Hasto may influence how PDI-P may decide its stance towards Prabowo's administration. Political analyst Kennedy Muslim from Indikator Politik said the move was 'part of Prabowo's natural inclination to build a giant coalition' to 'balance power among parties so that none become too dominant, except for the President himself.' 'It's a small price to pay compared to giving PDI-P a clear 'brand' as an opposition party for the next four years,' Kennedy said. 'They are poised to reap the political benefits should Prabowo's administration underperform.' Prabowo might also be trying to ease political friction and maintain stability as well as cooperation between the government and opposition-leaning forces, said Arya Fernandes of Jakarta-based Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). An expected political reconciliation following the pardon suggests legal proceedings will be used as leverage in elite political negotiations, a trend which developed during Jokowi's administration and now persists under Prabowo, according to Ian Wilson, a senior fellow at the Indo-Pacific Research Centre at Murdoch University in Australia. 'It less sets a precedent than constitutes a continuation of the political weaponization of corruption charges seen in the previous administration,' Wilson told The Jakarta Post. He suggested the pardon had shifted the country's political landscape, pointing out PDI-P chair Megawati Soekarnoputri's call for members during a party event on Wednesday to back Prabowo's government for 'stability', despite the party having yet to take an official stance towards the administration. 'Pressure will now be on Anies to do something similar,' Wilson said, 'and abandon his opposition movement-building efforts such as through mass organisation.' Senior PDI-P politician Said Abdullah denied claims that the recent amnesty for Hasto was part of a political deal, stressing that such practices did not align with the party's principles. 'There was absolutely nothing transactional about it,' Said told reporters. 'Let's not jump to such conclusions. It's not in the character of our party, let alone Ibu Megawati.' - The Jakarta Post/ANN

Anwar's defining week: Broker of peace and economic reprieve
COMMENTARY, Aug 2 — It has certainly been a defining week for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as he notched double wins at the diplomatic and economic fronts, which even his opponents would find difficult to fault. He has certainly been in top form as he brokered a ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia, orchestrating a diplomatic breakthrough, and then went on to make a call to United States President Donald Trump at 6.50 am. Anwar received plenty of messages from world leaders congratulating him on the handling of the potentially dangerous conflict between two neighbouring countries. It was a huge test for him as the Chair of Asean, but he pulled off magnificently as he brought the leaders of Thailand and Cambodia to Kuala Lumpur for a dialogue. He also made sure that officials from the US and China, the two important players in the region, were present to observe the talks. It is also evident that Malaysia's neutral posture of not taking sides has shown positive results, as that brought the two countries, locked in conflict, to the negotiating table. Trump himself reportedly intervened in the ceasefire negotiations by threatening both parties with heavy tariffs, but Malaysia's central role in mediating the agreement gave it diplomatic capital. At the same time, Malaysia scored a much-needed economic reprieve after the US agreed to scale back steep tariffs that had been threatening Malaysia's export-driven economy. At one point, Washington had threatened Malaysia with reciprocal tariffs of up to 25 per cent in retaliation for what it claimed were unfair trade practices and currency. This week, the White House agreed to lower the rate to 19 per cent, offering breathing room to Malaysia's key sectors, especially electronics and palm oil. The sound of relief could be heard across the nation. Without doubt, Anwar was properly prepared by officials for his telephone conversation with Trump. But as many world leaders would know, an element of uncertainty can also be expected when dealing with Trump, as some US allies have ended up with high tariffs. Both cases, which Anwar handled well, demonstrated strategic diplomacy which was carried out with precision and the personal charm offensive, which Anwar is good at. By now, world leaders would have watched how Anwar has the ability to lift up the phone to call his counterparts. The world will certainly now see that there is value in Malaysia as a stabilising force and an economic partner. The week has not just been a personal success for Anwar and his government, but as one analyst put it, they are a reminder that middle powers like Malaysia can shape outcomes when they choose engagement over posturing. Thai veteran journalist Kavi Chongkittavorn wrote that Anwar has now positioned himself as a peacemaker. 'Asean is doing a somersault. It just needs decisive leadership,' he said, pointing out that Anwar got the US and China to be present, which was another coup, as 'both superpowers rarely collaborate on anything these days. Yet both sent envoys to support the Asean Chair's initiative.' These successes are not just wins for Anwar's government; they are reminders that middle powers like Malaysia can shape outcomes when they choose engagement over posturing. Writing in the Thai PBS World, he described that on the regional stage, 'PMX just had his finest hours.'' On the economic front, Malaysia has ended up having the same 19 per cent tariff as Indonesia and the Philippines. However, in Jakarta and Manila, there has been reported unhappiness that they have given in too much to Trump. Malaysia stood its ground that it would not allow the red lines to be crossed, particularly on its Bumiputera policy during negotiations. To the protestors who turned up by the thousands calling on Anwar to step down, they may not understand headlines like tariffs or ceasefires, but this week's developments demonstrated the importance of leadership. — Bernama • Datuk Seri Wong Chun Wai is a National Journalism Laureate and chairman of the Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama).

Muhyiddin denies opposing Borneo bloc, emphasizes support for Sabah and Sarawak
KOTA KINABALU: Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has denied allegations that he opposed the formation of a Borneo bloc aimed at giving Sabah and Sarawak a stronger voice in the Federal Government. The Perikatan Nasional chairman and Bersatu president dismissed such accusations as lies. He stated that he has been visiting Sabah for years and continues to do so, recognizing the state's economic potential for greater development. "Since when did I say that I did not support this Borneo bloc? I myself do not know who is in the bloc," said Muhyiddin during his speech at the Jelajah Rakyat function in Tawau on Friday (Aug 1) night. Previously, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor mentioned that a former leader's opposition to the Borneo bloc led him to leave the coalition he was in at that time to support the unity government. The Borneo bloc was an initiative following the 2018 general election to give Sabah and Sarawak MPs a greater voice in the Federal Government. After the November 2022 general election, Hajiji led a mass exodus to support the Unity Government, leaving Perikatan Nasional and Bersatu. Hajiji and senior leaders of Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah were with Bersatu, led by Muhyiddin at that time. Speaking to reporters after the event, Muhyiddin said that working with strong electoral partners is part of their strategy heading into the upcoming state elections. Not wanting to reveal their game plan, he emphasized the need to work with reliable partners to form the state and Federal Government. When asked if meetings have been held with any leaders including Parti Warisan, he mentioned these strategies cannot be disclosed. Muhyiddin said seat allocations, including how many and where, are part of their strategy and need careful consideration. "Our candidates will be capable individuals while our logo will still remain the same," he said, adding that Perikatan is committed to solving Sabah's long-standing infrastructure and wellbeing-related issues without corrupt practices. However, Sabah Perikatan chief Datuk Seri Dr Ronald Kiandee had earlier mentioned that Perikatan could go it alone, having formed both state and Federal Governments before. He also criticized other coalitions for promoting the 'Sabah for Sabahan' slogan but then working with various partners, which he described as a love triangle.
