Muar hosts national month launch, honouring Johor's patriotic contributions
MUAR: Johor's Bandar Maharani being chosen as the venue for this year's National Month and Jalur Gemilang launch is a strong recognition of the state's historical, patriotic, and economic contributions to the nation. Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi described the launch in Muar as "no coincidence," noting that the district was the cradle of the country's independence movement. "This is not merely a launch venue. It is a symbol of honour, a tribute to Johor's deep-rooted spirit of patriotism and nationhood," Onn Hafiz said in his speech today. Held at Dataran Tanjung Emas, the event was launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Also present was Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. Onn Hafiz expressed gratitude to the prime minister and federal administration for choosing Johor, saying the decision reflected mutual trust and a renewed synergy between federal and state governments. In his speech, he welcomed key federal announcements, including the RM100 SARA aid for 22 million adults, the new RM1,700 minimum wage, reduced RON95 petrol prices, and the expansion of Rahmah Madani sales, calling them concrete steps towards easing the people's burden and realising true independence. "Real freedom isn't just about being rid of colonisers. It means escaping poverty, coping with living costs, and living with dignity in our own land," he said, adding that the theme Malaysia Madani: Rakyat Disantuni (Protecting the People's Welfare) resonates strongly with Johoreans. Citing recent data, Onn Hafiz revealed that Johor secured RM30.1 billion in approved investments in Q1 2025 alone, a significant jump from the previous year. "The state's gross domestic product grew by 6.4 per cent last year, surpassing the national average. "These are not just numbers. They reflect Johor's status as not only the economic driver of the south, but one of the key engines of national growth," he said. He expressed confidence that continued collaboration with the federal government would further strengthen Johor's path towards becoming a progressive and compassionate state. Calling for a renewed spirit of national unity, Onn Hafiz urged Malaysians not to let the Jalur Gemilang remain a mere ornament. "Let it live in our hearts as a symbol of struggle, freedom, and dignity. And fly the Johor flag with pride, because this is where our strength began," he said. He reminded the people that the current generation bears the responsibility to preserve and uplift the legacy left by those who fought for independence. "Let Johor not only be a state that develops, but one that unites. Let it not just be advanced, but honourable."

Anwar: Development must not come at cost of people's welfare
MUAR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has stressed that Malaysia's development must not come at the cost of people's rights and welfare, but instead be implemented based on the principles of justice and holistic balance. He said that sustainable economic development should not be carried out by marginalising the lower-income group, but instead provide equal benefits to all segments of society. "Let's not develop while destructing. We construct buildings, industries, technologies, economic zones… but the people are oppressed, neglected. "This is not true development," he said during the launch of the National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang 2025 Campaign at Dataran Tanjung Emas here today. Also present were Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil, Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar, and Information Department director-general Julina Johan. Elaborating, Anwar said the principle of balance, or ummatan wasatan, which is stressed in the Quran, encompasses justice from the perspective of faith and knowledge, spiritual and physical, as well as worldly and the hereafter. The prime minister also stressed the importance of a fair fiscal policy, including the implementation of progressive taxation that targets high-income earners and huge profit-making corporations, rather than burdening the poor. "We cannot tax the poor. "If schools need to be repaired, where must the money come from? We impose taxes on the rich and companies making millions in profits," he said. He cited major companies like Petronas, Tenaga Nasional Bhd and Maybank as examples that need to streamline their minimum wage policies with the profits they earn. "If a company makes RM1 million profit, but pays its workers RM1,500… how can? We have already raised the minimum wage from RM1,200 to RM1,500, and now to RM1,700. We will continue to do so gradually," he said. Anwar also said that independence is not merely a historical symbol, but it also comes with the responsibility to ensure the nation's wealth is distributed fairly and does not only benefit the elite.

PM Anwar stresses fair development and welfare in national agenda
MUAR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has reaffirmed that Malaysia's development agenda must not compromise the rights and welfare of its people. Speaking at the launch of the National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang 2025 Campaign at Dataran Tanjung Emas, he emphasised justice and holistic balance as core principles. 'Let's not develop while destructing. We construct buildings, industries, technologies, economic zones... but the people are oppressed, neglected. This is not true development,' Anwar said. He stressed that sustainable economic growth must benefit all segments of society, not just the wealthy. Anwar cited the Quranic principle of *ummatan wasatan* (balanced nation), which integrates justice in faith, knowledge, and material well-being. He also called for fair fiscal policies, including progressive taxation targeting high-income earners and profitable corporations rather than burdening the poor. 'We cannot tax the poor. If schools need to be repaired, where must the money come from? We impose taxes on the rich and companies making millions in profits,' he said. He urged major corporations like Petronas, Tenaga Nasional Berhad, and Maybank to align their wage policies with their profits. 'If a company makes RM1 million profit, but pays its workers RM1,500... how can? We have already raised the minimum wage from RM1,200 to RM1,500, and now to RM1,700. We will continue to do so gradually,' Anwar added. The event was attended by Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil, Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, and other senior officials. Anwar reiterated that national independence carries the responsibility of equitable wealth distribution, ensuring prosperity for all Malaysians. - Bernama
