Residents say still waiting for PJD Link documents
PETALING JAYA : Residents in Petaling Jaya have urged the Selangor government to honour a High Court decision for it to hand over key documents related to the proposed Petaling Jaya Dispersal (PJD) Link project.
In March, the Kuala Lumpur High Court ordered the state government to hand over the documents within a month. In a statement today, though, the residents said they had yet to receive them.
'This leaves the residents of PJ anxious and displeased with the Selangor government and its unwillingness to stop this absurd project.
'We demand that the Selangor government honour the court's decision and hand over key documents related to the proposed PJD Link project to the four Petaling Jaya residents immediately,' they said.
The residents – T Chakaravarthi, Kum Koo Ji, S Saktiseelan and Loke Yin Pong – had sought to commence judicial review proceedings against the state and federal governments over the controversial project.
High Court judge Amarjeet Singh granted their judicial review bid in parts, ordering the state government to disclose the social impact assessment, environment impact assessment, and traffic impact assessment reports – documents previously submitted by the project developer, PJD Link (M) Sdn Bhd.
He also instructed the state government to provide residents with the detailed design and alignment of the highway project.
However, he dismissed the residents' request for the concession agreement between PJD Link and the federal government.
Eight groups endorsed the joint statement, including BK5 Kinrara Residents Against PJD Link, Gerakan Menentang Penilaian Tebuk Atap, Petaling Jaya Parti Sosialis Malaysia, Persatuan Penduduk Seksyen 20, and Persatuan Penduduk Suria Kinrara.
The statement was also endorsed by over 30 individual residents.

Ministry: Over 82,000 ‘immoral' social media posts in Malaysia taken down since 2022, over 37,000 more on false info
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 — A total of 82,076 pieces of immoral content on social media were taken down by platform providers between Jan 1, 2022, and July 1 this year following requests by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). The Ministry of Communications, in a written reply to Muhammad Ismi Mat Taib (PN-Parit) posted on the Parliament's website, said the removed content violated the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (Act 588) as well as other existing laws. Other actions taken include the blocking of the Facebook page named Grup Budak-Budak Sekolah Rendah, which was found to contain elements that violated Section 233 of Act 588, including child sexual abuse material (CSAM). In response to Muhammad Ismi's question on the existence of immoral service offerings on social media apps, the ministry explained that those actions were part of joint anti-vice enforcement operations under Ops Pedo and Ops Noda, aimed at curbing the spread of inappropriate content on digital and social media platforms. The ministry clarified that content removals are subject to the assessment and discretion of social media platforms, based on their respective community guidelines and the application of relevant local laws. 'In addition to social media filtering, the government, through MCMC, has also implemented blocks and restrictions on applications offering immoral services on platforms such as Google Play and Apple Store,' the reply stated. However, the ministry noted that control over content on such platforms remains under the policies of their respective providers, which are foreign-owned and operated outside Malaysia. From Jan 1, 2022, to July 1, 2025, social media platforms also removed 37,845 instances of false information and 7,846 posts linked to the sensitive 3R issues (race, religion, and royalty) upon MCMC's request. In a separate response to Chong Zhemin (PH-Kampar), the ministry said these actions included the takedown of politically driven troll accounts that manipulated information to provoke racial and religious tensions. 'All takedown actions are executed in accordance with existing legislation, regardless of an individual's political affiliation or beliefs, to ensure that freedom of expression is not abused,' the ministry said. The ministry also confirmed that MCMC works closely with the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) in enforcing Act 588 and related laws. 'Action may be taken against any individual under Section 233 of Act 588 for misusing applications or social media services to create and disseminate false or offensive content, with the intent to annoy, harass or harm others,' it added. — Bernama

‘Attempt to shut my mouth': Rafizi alleges son's assault linked to scandal exposé
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 — Pandan MP Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli has alleged that the attack on his son was an attempt to silence him from pursuing an ongoing scandal. Speaking at a press conference in the Parliament building today, Rafizi said that in his opinion, the assault was a strategy to ensure that he moves on and skip the matter altogether. 'I've given the same statement to the police, in my view, this is an attempt to shut my mouth, meaning there is something I'm looking at and this is a message (to me) so that I hands off from that matter,' he said 'Last week, there was a group of whistleblowers who came to me regarding a scandal, that I can tell. 'It means that, whoever is behind this knows, usually when I begin to look at a scandal I will dig and dig and dig and at the same time people with information will come forward,' he added.

Rafizi says wife got threatening texts, recalls meeting with whistleblowers
Pandan MP Rafizi Ramli speaking at a press conference in Parliament, joined by other Pakatan Harapan MPs. KUALA LUMPUR : Former PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli said his wife received two threatening text messages early this morning, a day after his son was attacked by two men with a syringe. According to Rafizi, his wife received a text message from an unknown number at 1.12am, reading: 'Be quiet. If you continue, AIDS.' At 11.02am, she received the same text message again followed by three syringe emojis. Rafizi said he suspected that the attack was linked to a case he was looking into, saying he had met with a group of whistleblowers just last week. 'Last week, I met with a group of whistleblowers regarding a scandal. In my opinion, this is an attempt to silence me and they want me to drop the case. 'I have given this information to the police and they are already aware of the phone number,' he said at a press conference in Parliament today. The attack on Rafizi's 12-year-old son occurred at a shopping mall in Putrajaya at around 2pm yesterday. The Pandan MP said CCTV footage showed that two men, dressed in black with their faces fully covered by helmets, had followed his wife's car on a motorcycle before the incident. His son, who was dragged and stabbed with a syringe, was rushed to the hospital for treatment and checks. The assailants meanwhile escaped. Rafizi said he believed the attack was planned in advance, and that his wife was likely surveilled by the assailants for a few days before the attack was carried out. 'I just moved house, so not many people know where I live. Clearly, my wife's movements have been tracked,' he said. He added however that his family was doing well and that his wife 'doesn't want to change course'. The former economy minister again vowed that he would not be silenced but would continue digging into the alleged scandal, details of which he did not disclose. He added that the necessary security arrangements would be made to ensure his family's safety.
