PAS claims Pahang is set to vote for PN in the next GE
'This development is not only evident from the encouraging attendance at various grassroots programmes, but it is also supported by independent studies and on-the-ground observations.
'Moreover, we can see that the people are increasingly rejecting any explanations or statements by the government on various issues,' he said in a statement.
The Cheka assemblyman Tuan Ibrahim also claims young voters, civil servants, and rural communities are increasingly rejecting the UMNO-Pakatan Harapan state government, forcing it to work harder to prove its competence.
Backing the claims by the PAS leader, Pahang PAS information chief Ustaz Aireroshairi Roslan, stressed that UMNO must mentally prepare to become the opposition after the GE16, following the increasing public support for PAS from GE13 to GE15.
He also said the 'PAS Leads Pahang' slogan taunted as mere rhetoric by UMNO shows that the ruling party is still in denial and refuses to accept the reality of the changing political landscape in the state.
'The strong public response to this tagline proves that the people are ready for a leadership change that is cleaner and more trustworthy,' he said in a statement, adding that UMNO is riddled with internal crises and leadership turmoil while PAS has strengthened party machinery.
On the other hand, he also said the cooperation between DAP and Umno is now a heavy liability for the Malay party.
'How can UMNO claim to fight for the Malay agenda when they are willing to collaborate with a party that has always opposed the special position of the Malays?' he questioned. — July 19, 2025

Behind Prison Walls: A Daughter's Love Marks Najib's 72nd Birthday
Subscribe to our FREE Today marks a milestone that would typically call for family gatherings, birthday cake, and celebration. Instead, Datuk Seri Najib Razak is spending his 72nd birthday behind the walls of Kajang Prison – but his daughter's touching tribute on social media proves that love knows no barriers. As the clock struck another year for the former Prime Minister, his daughter Yana Najib took to Facebook with a message that cut straight to the heart. She opened with a quote from former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, that seemed to capture everything: 'A brave man is not one who is not afraid but one who conquers his fears.' The timing wasn't coincidental. Today, 23 July, 2025, Najib turns 72 – a birthday that marks his third consecutive year celebrating behind bars, and his daughter wasn't about to let it pass unnoticed. Three Years of Separated Birthdays 'Happy birthday Daddy,' Yana wrote in Malay, her words carrying the weight of years of separation. May Allah SWT grant you strength and good health for Daddy. The reality she acknowledges is stark: 'We haven't been able to celebrate with Daddy for 3 years, separated from us.' Yet her message carries no trace of bitterness, only hope wrapped in faith: 'May all matters be made easy and God willing, we can be together again in the near future.' Yana's heartfelt tribute sparked a wave of solidarity across social media, as Najib's supporters joined in marking his 72nd birthday. Facebook and other platforms are filled with nostalgic posts from loyalists sharing fond memories of better times – photos from political rallies, screenshots of his achievements as Prime Minister, and throwback images of him with family during happier occasions. Among the throwback moments was a particularly endearing video clip showing Najib singing Cliff Richard's 1961 classic 'The Young Ones' – a moment that captured a lighter, more personal side of the former Prime Minister that many supporters fondly remember. Finding Light in Dark Times Yana's post reads like poetry born from pain: 'A calm heart behind the silence. A ray of hope illuminating the path in adversity. Surely there is wisdom behind every trial. More wise, patient and kind than before.' These aren't just words – they're a daughter's way of making sense of a situation that has redefined her family's reality since 23 August, 2022, when Najib began serving his sentence for the Najib has repeatedly denied wrongdoing. Today's birthday carries particular significance because it brings the family closer to potential reunion. The Pardons Board's February 2024 decision to That's just over three years away, making today's 72nd birthday a marker on a countdown that his family clearly holds dear. At the same time, the Attorney General confirmed the existence of a royal order that is crucial for Najib's Beyond Politics, Pure Love In a political landscape often defined by division and rhetoric, Yana's birthday message stands apart. Her hashtags #bossku and #dsn (Datuk Seri Najib) show unwavering support, but her words transcend politics entirely. This is simply a daughter honouring her father on his birthday, separated by circumstances but united by unbreakable bonds. The Mandela quote she chose resonates deeply – a reminder that even leaders who've faced imprisonment can emerge with wisdom and strength. As Najib marks his 72nd year today, his daughter's message suggests she sees this chapter not as an ending, but as a test of character that will ultimately reveal more profound truths.

Govt taking steps to keep food price hikes in check after SST expansion, Dewan Rakyat told
KUALA LUMPUR: The government is taking heightened measures to control living costs given the higher food inflation rate, says Deputy Finance Minister Lim Hui Ying. She said the average food inflation rate is at 2.1%, higher than the overall inflation rate which was at 1.1% as of June. 'We expected... an increase in the cost of food or cost of living owing to the expansion of sales and service tax (SST). 'The government, through the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry, will continuously monitor food prices to ensure (they) are controlled, especially essential items,' she said during Question Time in the Dewan Rakyat on Wednesday (July 23). Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin (PN-Larut) had asked the ministry to explain the measures taken to control food prices that did not reflect the inflation rate. Lim explained that while the food inflation rate is at 2.1%, some places in the country might have higher rates because of other factors. Earlier, she also said the government has outlined several assistance and subsidy programmes to reduce the burden on the people. She said this included higher Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah and Sumbangan Asas Rahmah, which had increased from RM10bil to RM13bil, benefitting nine million Malaysians. 'The allocation for assistance under the Social Welfare Department for this year has also increased to RM2.9bil from RM2.4bil. 'The government has also allocated RM1bil to more broadly address the cost of living, including controlling the prices of basic commodities such as rice and cooking oil. "This includes the Payung Rahmah Programme, for which RM300mil has been allocated this year," she added. Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel for breaking news alerts and key updates!
