Negeri Sembilan empowers women in leadership roles across sectors
SEREMBAN: The Negeri Sembilan government continues to create opportunities for women to assume strategic roles at all levels, from villages to state administration. Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun emphasised that women should champion public concerns on critical issues like education, healthcare, housing, and the environment. 'Women bring empathy, transparency, and diligence to governance. Their role as educators and shapers of future generations must be strengthened, as they are the primary educators within families and communities,' he said during the launch of Wanita MADANI Inspirasi (WADANI) Negeri Sembilan. Aminuddin highlighted that WADANI should recognise women as social drivers and community activists. 'They create change by engaging with communities, raising awareness, and fostering attitude shifts, not just through assistance,' he added. He expressed hope that WADANI would equip women with communication and empathy skills, enabling them to effectively address societal issues. 'We want women to lead social change, empower families, drive community economies, and become moral pillars in challenging times,' he said. - Bernama

Pahang Sultan: Dishonourable titleholders will be stripped of state honours immediately
KUANTAN, July 26 — Sultan of Pahang, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, today emphasised that titles and state honours should not be used as an excuse for abusing power, nor are they mere ornaments or sources of pride at social gatherings. His Royal Highness said these awards represent a symbol of dignity, trust, and honour - attributes reserved for those who uphold integrity and respect the laws of the state. Such honours cannot, and will not, protect individuals who violate the law, betray the state, or undermine justice. 'I will not tolerate the misuse of the honour bestowed upon individuals to oppress others, steal state resources, or tarnish the reputation of the royal institution,' Al-Sultan Abdullah said. He further stressed that, effective immediately, any individual holding titles such as Dato', Dato' Indera, Dato' Sri, or similar, and found to be involved in criminal activities, corruption, land encroachment, illegal mining, or logging without a permit, will face immediate suspension or revocation of their title. His Highness made these remarks during the Investiture Ceremony at Istana Abdulaziz here in conjunction with the 66th birthday of the Sultan of Pahang. The Ruler also revealed that, to date, 49 out of 67 individuals are awaiting the revocation of their state honours due to various violations. His Highness expressed concern over certain individuals who, without hesitation, falsely invoke his name as Sultan of Pahang or associate the Pahang Palace with claims of royal approval or protection, which have no basis. On the issue of illegal land encroachment, Al-Sultan Abdullah called for a comprehensive inspection, investigation, and strict enforcement across all districts, with actions to be extended throughout Pahang. 'I do not want Pahang's agricultural industry, particularly the durian sector, which is a source of pride, to suffer the same fate as neighbouring countries, where weak land management and unclear policies have led to monopolisation and a lack of competitiveness,' His Highness said. Furthermore, His Highness expressed disappointment with those who fuel division, particularly those who subtly sow discord between races and religions. 'I urge, especially the youth, to be responsible users of social media. Use your voices and influence to build, not destroy; to unite, not divide,' Al-Sultan Abdullah said. Regarding healthcare, His Highness emphasised the urgency of expediting the construction of the Maran Hospital, as it is no longer a choice but a critical necessity. His Highness also called for Pahang to become a state that is conducive to the growth of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), encouraging opportunities across various sectors and ensuring that entrepreneurs are not hindered by bureaucratic obstacles. In his royal address, His Highness further urged the state government to strengthen, expand, and streamline the Pahang Prosperity Initiative, increase targeted assistance, and enhance welfare funds, food aid, job training, and housing support. — Bernama

Zahid: Viral attacks can ‘destroy' Umno if left unanswered
ARAU, July 26 — Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has urged the party's leadership and members to respond swiftly to various issues raised by detractors. The deputy prime minister said that if such issues are not addressed in a timely manner, they could go viral and affect public perception, regardless of their validity. 'Even if these are repeated or fabricated issues without basis, if left unaddressed, they will become a severe cancer that could bring us down,' he said when officiating the Arau Umno division office here today. Ahmad Zahid acknowledged that Umno must accept the reality that it has been ineffective in managing issues, which has allowed other parties to win more seats in elections by manipulating public sentiment. 'There are parties that instil cult-like loyalty among their followers. Though their membership is smaller than ours, they secure more seats than we do,' he said. Ahmad Zahid, who is also rural and regional development minister, called on Umno leaders at all levels to deal with arising issues promptly and effectively. At the same time, he urged Umno's leadership and members to protect internal unity and party strength, even if faced with differing views and opinions. — Bernama
