Prevent an imbalance of civil servants, only 5.4% are Chinese Malaysians
THE low representation of Chinese Malaysians in the civil service is a cause for concern. The government must take proactive measures to encourage greater participation from young Chinese Malaysians in national administration, ensuring governance reflects the voice of all citizens.

PAS leader disrespected Agong, armed forces
Criticisms mount against Sungai Buloh PAS division chief Zaharuddin Muhammad for seemingly taking issue with the appointment of Malaysia's first Chinese lieutenant general. People's Progressive Party (PPP) Youth chief S Sathiah said not only did Zaharuddin undermine the armed forces, he also seemed to be questioning the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's wisdom, who serves as the supreme commander of the armed forces.

Putin will not go to BRICS summit in Brazil due to ICC arrest warrant, Kremlin aide says

Sputnik/Alexander Kazakov/Pool via REUTERS/ File Photo MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russian President Vladimir Putin will not travel to next week's BRICS summit in Brazil because of an outstanding arrest warrant issued against him by the International Criminal Court (ICC), Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov said on Wednesday. The ICC issued the warrant in 2023, just over a year after Russia launched its full-scale war against Ukraine, accusing Putin of the war crime of deporting hundreds of children from Ukraine. Russia denies allegations of war crimes and the Kremlin, which did not sign the ICC's founding treaty, has dismissed the warrant as null and void. But it means that Putin needs to weigh the risk he might be arrested if he travels to another country that is a signatory to the ICC treaty. In 2023 he decided against travelling to one such country, South Africa, for a BRICS summit. But last year he was given a red carpet welcome in Mongolia, even though it is an ICC member state. Ushakov said Putin would take part via video link in the July 6-7 BRICS summit in Brazil. "This is due to certain difficulties, in the context of the ICC requirement. In that context, the Brazilian government could not take a clear position that would allow our president to participate in this meeting," Ushakov said. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will travel to the summit to represent Russia. According to media reports, Chinese President Xi Jinping will skip the summit.

Taiwan says military drills will involve largest call-up
TAIPEI: Taiwan said Wednesday military drills to be held in July will involve the largest ever mobilisation of reservists for the annual exercises, which are being extended to improve the island's response to 'grey zone' harassment by China. Beijing insists democratic Taiwan is part of its territory and has never renounced the use of force to bring the self-ruled island under its control. The Han Kuang exercises, which the defence ministry said would be held from July 9-18, are conducted every year across Taiwan to train its armed forces as China ramps up military pressure on the island. Defence Minister Wellington Koo told parliament as many as 22,000 reservists would be called up to take part in the exercises, up from 14,647 last year. 'Our main objective is to verify how much time it takes for a reserve brigade to regain full combat capability after being called up,' Koo said. Taiwan maintains a standing call-up system to train its reservists. This year the mobilisation will be expanded as part of the annual Han Kuang military drills. The defence ministry also said the annual drills would be extended to 10 days and nine nights, compared with five days and four nights last year. Koo said the most significant change would be the inclusion of 'grey zone harassment' scenarios, simulating a military escalation based on 'regional developments'. Taiwan accuses China of using 'grey-zone' tactics -- actions that fall short of an act of war -- to weaken its defences. Beijing regularly deploys fighter jets, warships and coast guard ships near Taiwan, and has held several major military exercises around the island in recent years. The Taiwan reservists called up will undergo a full 14-day training programme, 10 days of which will be dedicated to participation in the drills. In March, Taiwan's defence ministry said it would simulate possible scenarios for a Chinese invasion in 2027 during Han Kuang drills. Officials in the United States -- Taipei's main backer and biggest arms supplier -- have previously cited 2027 as a possible timeline for a Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
