Old video of an ‘overly emo' minister re-surfaces to mock Fadhlina Sidek's unsuitability to helm MOE
A BIG red bull's eye seems to have been painted on Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek's back. Targeted for her perceived mishandling of Zara Qairina Mahathir's tragic death and the Education Ministry's (MOE) weak response to bullying in schools, to say the Nibong Tebal MP is under pressure is putting it mildly. The nationwide anger is seemingly an opportune time for the opposition to pour scorn and ridicule the 47-year-old former activist and lawyer who specialises in Islamic family law and child welfare. The latest to join the fray is renegade UMNO supreme council member Isham Jalil who dug up a video of a parliamentary session from 2023. The video shows an almost hysterical Fadhlina retorting to a written question by Wee Ka Siong in a belligerent manner. Banging her fists on the lectern, she sounded more like an exasperated housewife berating a child rather than a learned cabinet minister answering legitimate questions in the hallowed halls of the Dewan Rakyat. Editor's note: The description provided by KiniTV to the clip states: 'Education Minister, Fadhlina Sidek did not give space for (Datuk Seri) Wee Ka Siong (BN-Ayer Hitam) to interrupt to ask questions when winding up the Budget 2024 debate at the committee level for the MOE. During the debate earlier, Wee who is also the MCA president had questioned the inconsistent data provided by the MOE on the issue of teacher shortages. It may be old news but the timing couldn't be worse for the country's first female Education Minister as it just reinforces the perception that she is not cabinet material. Easily provoked This is more so as Isham who was also the former UMNO information chief sarcastically remarked on his Facebook page: 'Example of KBAT to kids on how not to answer a question (*not to be followed)'. Editor's Note: KBAT which stands for 'Kemahiran Berfikir Aras Tinggi' is a Malaysian educational framework focused on developing high-level thinking skills in school pupils. The post has already generated 8.1K likes, 3.8K comments and 912 shares at the time of writing which is an indication that – like it or no – the PKR women's wing chief is very much under the spotlight. Some commenters openly questioned her ability to carry such an important portfolio. It wasn't even a provocative query, observed one commenter. One commenter aimed a sarcastic barb at her being a 'PMX (Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim) sycophant'. The recent birthday message to PMX involving school kids chanting 'Happy Birthday, PMX' and 'We love you, PMX' also reinforces the view that she is nothing more than apple-polisher. Her fantastical outburst unfortunately led to claims that women were unsuited to such positions of power and authority. One commenter wondered just how Fadhlina was going to approach the issue of bullying in schools when a simple query in Parliament led to such an emotional tirade. It is not a good look for the Madani administration when the person in-charge of the education portfolio is being made to look incapable, emotionally unstable and foolish. It is certainly not great that calls for her to resign are getting increasingly louder and frequent by the day. – Aug 16, 2025.

People's Will, Not Mine – 85-year-old Yunus Shares Why He Stepped Into Bangladesh's Political Hot Seat
Chief Adviser to the Government of Bangladesh, Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus, in a recent interview with Bernama, said Malaysia could serve as the 'beneficiary window' for enhancing economic connectivity between ASEAN and the populous South Asian region. With Bangladesh's central position as a strategic hub for trade, production and investment, he noted, the potential for business opportunities is immense. — fotoBERNAMA (2025) COPYRIGHT RESERVED By Kisho Kumari Sucedaram KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 16 (Bernama) -- Age has not slowed down Nobel Peace Prize laureate Prof Dr Muhammad Yunus, 85, who could have chosen a quiet life of retirement, far from the turbulence of Bangladesh's national transition. Instead, he now finds himself in the centre of a political change, sitting in a hot seat to take up a role that he described not as ambition but a duty he has to perform. Yunus, the Chief Adviser to the Government of Bangladesh, responding to questions at a recent interview here, quickly says it was never about him but the people. 'It's not me. It's the people who want this change. I am just helping them to go the way they want,' Yunus told Bernama, in an exclusive interview at the end of his three-day official visit to Malaysia. He was in the country at the invitation of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim from Aug 11 to 13. 'I don't impose anything of my own. I just wait to see what the will of the people is, and then I facilitate it,' he said in a conversation with Bernama Editor-in-Chief Arul Rajoo Durar Raj, together with Editor of International News Service Voon Miaw Ping and Assistant Editor of Bernama Economic Service Kisho Kumari Sucedaram. For a man who earned global recognition as the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize laureate for pioneering microfinance, stepping into the seat of political leadership was never part of his plan. However, he said, circumstances left him with little choice. Yunus humbly describes his role, less as a leader, and more as a guardian of a democratic process long denied. Yet, he acknowledges the immense challenges ahead.

Yunus Rules Out Contesting Bangladesh Election, Focuses On Reforms
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 -- Chief Adviser to the Government of Bangladesh, Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus, in a recent interview with Bernama, said Malaysia could serve as the 'beneficiary window' for enhancing economic connectivity between ASEAN and the populous South Asian region. With Bangladesh's central position as a strategic hub for trade, production and investment, he noted, the potential for business opportunities is immense. — fotoBERNAMA (2025) COPYRIGHT RESERVED By Voon Miaw Ping and Noor Bakhtiar Ahmad KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 15 (Bernama) -- Chief Adviser to the Government of Bangladesh, Prof Dr Muhammad Yunus, reaffirmed he has no intention to enter active politics or contest in the country's upcoming general elections set for February next year. 'No, I'm not the person who has any chance of joining politics,' the Nobel Peace Prize laureate told Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama) in an exclusive interview during his official visit to Malaysia earlier this week. bootstrap slideshow In a conversation on a wide range of issues with Bernama's Editor-in-Chief Arul Rajoo Durar Raj, Editor of International News Service Voon Miaw Ping, and Assistant Editor of Economic News Service Kisho Kumari Sucedaram, Yunus reflected on the responsibility entrusted to him in the efforts to restore and rebuild Bangladesh. He said his immediate focus revolves around steering the interim administration to bring about its reform agenda. The world-renowned economist and social entrepreneur was hand-picked by Bangladesh's President Mohammed Shahabuddin to lead the transitional government on Aug 8, 2024, in the aftermath of the youth-led uprising that ousted former prime minister Sheikh Hasina and ended her 15-year authoritarian rule. 'We have come a long way within a year. We just completed our first year in August, and we have achieved a lot,' Yunus said. Among the key progresses, he said, was the formation of the Consensus Building Commission, which is based on the findings of the 11 reform commissions. Its work on election reforms is expected to conclude with a final report by the end of the month, marking a major step towards building a more inclusive, participatory, and credible electoral system.
