Reject political narratives undermining Sarawak autonomy, says SUPP man
Sim voices concerns over recent actions by Malayan-based parties, particularly the DAP and PKR, which he said cast doubt on their commitment to Sarawak's rights.
KUCHING (May 9): The Sarawak United Peoples' Party (SUPP) Stakan Branch has urged Sarawakians to stay vigilant against political narratives that appear to prioritise Peninsular Malaysia's interests over Sarawak's autonomy and development.
The branch's chairman, Datuk Sim Kiang Chiok, voiced concerns over recent actions by Malayan-based parties, particularly the Democratic Action Party (DAP) and Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), which he said cast doubt on their commitment to Sarawak's rights.
He pointed out that the situation is becoming increasingly apparent as Sarawak DAP continues to criticise Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg, while PKR repeatedly defends Petronas.
'The public will realise from Singapore's example that all in Singapore became one when outsiders interfered with their politics in the recently concluded General elections.
'We ask DAP and PKR in Swk to become like the opposition in Singapore that defended their land.' he said in a statement today.
He stressed that Sarawak belongs to all Sarawakians, and even the opposition should serve in the interests of the state rather than what he described as their 'Malayan masters.'
He advised the public to take note of this and choose wisely in the coming Sarawak state elections and 'be rid of Malayan interests once and for all.'
'Sarawak is not short of locally based opposition parties and if we must have opposition why not opt for them instead of Malayan parties,' he said.
He also recalled the words of former chief minister, the late Pehin Sri Adenan Satem, who once said he could not ban Malayan parties because they were already represented in the Sarawak Legislative Assembly (DUN).
'As such, let's all be loyal Sarawakians and be rid of Malayan influence in Sarawak once and for all in the coming Sarawak and Malaysian General elections,' he added. dap pkr Sarawak autonomy Sim Kiang Chiok SUPP

Malaysia, Poland seek strengthened economic, trade ties
KUALA LUMPUR, June 10 (Xinhua) -- Malaysia is seeking strengthened economic and trade ties with Poland while reaffirming the importance of free and open trade, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Polish President Andrzej Duda said here on Tuesday. They reaffirmed the importance of adhering to internationally accepted trade norms and multilateral engagement and cooperation, as this would be mutually beneficial, the leaders said in a joint statement during Duda's official visit to Malaysia from June 9 to 11. "The leaders reiterated their unwavering commitment to open and inclusive trade and a fair, rules-based international trading system. They strongly reaffirmed their support for the swift advancement of the Malaysia-EU Free Trade Agreement (MEUFTA) negotiations and stressed the importance of concluding the agreement at the earliest opportunity," they said. "Both sides agreed to promote balanced trade by reducing economic barriers, enhancing consultation mechanisms between relevant ministries, and fostering collaboration amongst business communities," they said, adding that friendly bilateral cooperation will facilitate cooperation in a number of new and emerging fields such as the digitalization of public services, green transition, particularly the hydrogen economy and renewable energy and the maritime economy. Anwar and Duda also agreed to cooperate on security matters, including enhancing the exchange of experiences and coordination in combating crime, including organized and international crime. Poland is Malaysia's important trading partner among EU member states. Malaysia's main exports to Poland include electrical and electronic products, rubber products and machinery, while main imports from Poland consist of machinery, equipment and spare parts, electrical and electronic products, and transport equipment.

Foreign students prepare Plan B as US closes door
OVER the last few weeks, 28-year-old Raj Iyer and his family have been scrambling to figure out ways to fund his Master's programme at Columbia University in the United States. Iyer, who used a pseudonym to avoid potential reprisals, received a partial scholarship but still needed to come up with nearly US$110,000 to cover tuition and living expenses, for which his family took out a loan and used their savings. Now Iyer fears it is all for naught. Less than three months before classes start, Iyer has been left stranded after the US government announced it is pausing student visa interviews. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio last month instructed embassies to stop scheduling new visa appointments, saying the Trump administration would review the process and expand vetting of students' social media profiles. Officials have not said when student interviews will resume, plunging the education of students from abroad into doubt, including those in India, the biggest contributor of international students to US schools of higher learning. According to the US Embassy in India, more than 331,000 students went there in 2024. Students hoping to attend university in the US are now deleting their social media posts, writing emails to their universities and laying out hastily crafted backup plans. Even before the decision to pause student visas, the Trump administration had revoked visas or terminated visa records belonging to 1,600 international students by May 7, according to data from the US-based National Association of Foreign Student Advisors. Indian students have borne the biggest brunt of these actions, the data showed, with 309 visas revoked, following closely by Chinese students. In March, the Trump administration cancelled the visa of Indian PhD student Ranjini Srinivasan and called her a "terrorist sympathiser" for her pro-Palestine activism on campus. Vibha Kagzi, founder and chief executive officer of ReachIvy, a Mumbai-based education consultancy that helps Indian students seek admission at foreign universities, said she was seeing "anxiety and a flurry of queries" from both students and parents. "There's a deep sense of uncertainty, ranging from fear of deferral to questions around return on investment," Kagzi told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. Iyer, a filmmaker, is especially concerned about the introduction of stringent social media vetting and is unfollowing pages and undoing previous "likes" on political posts on his accounts. "I have always been a person with strong convictions, and I don't walk back on them. I am going to a place where I know my freedom of speech is going to be curtailed," he said. "This is making me feel like a hypocrite." Some of the students interviewed for this story said their universities had not reached out about potential next steps. Kagzi said she was advising students to "keep calm" and wait for updates from their schools, including possible alternatives, like online classes. The uncertainty has prompted some Indian students to consider enrolling at universities outside of the US. Lakshmi and her partner had been looking at a half-dozen American universities for the PhDs they both want to pursue. But a crackdown on political activism on US campuses, the deportation of students and earlier changes in visa rules has prompted them to look elsewhere. "In February, we decided that we won't go to the US at all and are now looking entirely at European universities," said Lakshmi, using a pseudonym. Lakshmi said the decision to turn to Europe comes with reduced funding options, shorter PhD programmes and fewer work opportunities after earning her degree. For those still hoping to study in the US, the delay in visa appointments may force them to put off the start of their studies. Even without the pause, the online State Department calendar shows the average wait time for a student visa is as long as two months in Mumbai, where Iyer is applying. Unless the embassy restarts visa interviews soon, Iyer fears it will be too late. "I feel like I am running out of time," he said.

Malaysia commits to labour rights reforms, gig economy protections
PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia is moving forward with bold and comprehensive labour reforms as it aims to further empower workers, strengthen unions and ensure equitable rights across all regions and sectors, including the gig economy, says Human Resources Minister Steven Sim. He said Malaysia's commitment to labour rights was unwavering and continued to evolve in line with international standards and global solidarity. "When I came last year, I represented Malaysia to ratify the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Convention C155 on Occupational Safety and Health. "I am proud to say that today, Malaysia has implemented over 100 improvements to our national Occupational Safety and Health legislation in line with ILO C155," he said in his address at the 113th Session of the International Labour Conference (ILC) in Geneva, Switzerland. Sim said several key milestones Malaysia had achieved in the past year, including the removal of restrictive barriers to labour union formation, which is expected to double union membership nationwide. "Today, Malaysia has radically reduced previous government restrictions on setting up labour unions," he said. He also highlighted the harmonisation of labour standards across Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak for the first time in two decades. "Today, we have synchronised these three labour standards, thus giving equal rights and protections to every worker in Malaysia regardless of gender, race, religion and region after 20 years of disparity," Sim said. The minister said social security benefits had been increased by 20 per cent, with coverage expanded to migrant workers and round-the-clock protection beyond work-related accidents. "Statutory minimum wage has increased by 13 per cent this year, while median monthly wage has increased by 11 per cent compared to when I came to this conference a year ago," he said, adding that national unemployment was at a 10-year low. Sim also brought with him the final draft of Malaysia's Gig Workers Bill, which he plans to table in parliament soon. "I look forward to tabling this historic legislation in the coming Malaysian Parliament. "I am confident the conversations we have here will strengthen Malaysia's resolve to put our country among the handful of jurisdictions in the world to have laws protecting workers in the gig economy," he said. Although Malaysia was a small economy, the well-being of workers was non-negotiable to the country, he said. Sim urged global labour stakeholders not to fall into a transactional mindset or adopt a zero-sum approach to international cooperation. "To insist on building more bridges towards peaceful collaborations, this is the only way forward," he said, adding that Covid-19 had underscored the interdependence of nations. He said workers in smaller nations would be vulnerable if global trade punished the protection of workers' well-being. Meanwhile, Sim reaffirmed Asean's commitment to solidarity, citing the recent Kuala Lumpur Declaration, which outlined a 20-year roadmap for close cooperation among member states. "Multilateral platforms such as the ILO need to do more to foster such solidarity," he said, welcoming the ILO's partnership with Malaysia and Asean to launch the Asean Year of Skills 2025. This is the way forward — more conversations, more coalitions, more collaborations, and more concerted actions," he said. – Bernama
