SEREMBAN, April 24 (Bernama) -- Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir has called on all assemblymen to shoulder the responsibility of guiding the people towards a state that is united, peaceful and prosperous.
In his royal address at the opening ceremony of the First Meeting of the Third Session of the 15th Negeri Sembilan State Legislative Assembly, Tuanku Muhriz emphasised the importance of ensuring that all planned development projects are executed effectively and truly benefit the people.
'Always remember that the rakyat closely watches every action and decision you make. In today's borderless digital age, information is readily available.
'Debate with rationality and intellect. Ensure that each argument presented is beneficial to the community and addresses the issues faced by the people,' he said.
Tuanku Muhriz also reminded all assemblymen to uphold, protect, preserve and defend the Federal Constitution and the Negeri Sembilan State Constitution at all times.
He further stressed the need for strict adherence to the Standing Orders during debates and throughout the assembly's proceedings.
'Hold firmly to the principle of prioritising the people's welfare and the state's prosperity in every statement made,' he said.
In conjunction with the Visit Negeri Sembilan Year 2026, Tuanku Muhriz expressed hope that the state government would intensify efforts to promote the state more widely and generate a positive economic impact for the local community.
He said attention should be given to three key tourism segments, namely the beach resorts in Port Dickson, ecotourism and the cultural uniqueness of Adat Perpatih in every district.

Govt Mulls Mandatory Labelling Of AI-generated Content To Combat Misinformation
GENERAL KUALA LUMPUR, July 29 (Bernama) -- The government is mulling mandatory labelling for content generated or modified using artificial intelligence (AI) as part of efforts to curb the spread of misinformation on social media, the Dewan Rakyat was told today. Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the proposed labels, such as 'AI-Generated' or 'AI-Enhanced', would help users identify content created or altered with AI technology. 'We are looking into implementing this through Act 866, or the Online Safety Act (ONSA), and we expect that once regulations are finalised by the MCMC (Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission), ONSA will come into force by the end of this year,' he said during the Minister's Question Time. Fahmi said this in reply to the supplementary question by Datuk Mohd Suhaimi Abdullah (PN-Langkawi), who raised concerns about the growing presence of deepfakes on social media platforms. Addressing the issue of deepfakes that misuse the likeness or voice of public figures, Fahmi emphasised that regulating generative technologies like AI is now a topic of active discussion both nationally and internationally. 'Social media platforms have a responsibility; they must not allow deepfake content to spread unchecked,' he added. In response to Suhaimi's primary question regarding MCMC's investigative procedures for social media-related complaints, Fahmi explained that investigations are conducted under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (Act 588), beginning with a first information report (FIR) and potentially leading to referral to the deputy public prosecutor. 'For cases under investigation, a notice under Section 255 of Act 588 may be issued to the individual concerned…if there is initial evidence linking the person to the alleged offence, their communication devices can be seized by either MCMC or the police,' he said. Nevertheless, Fahmi assured that all investigations are carried out transparently and thoroughly to ensure the fair application of the law.

Thai-Cambodia Ceasefire: Malaysia Makes Global Headlines, Draws International Praise
GENERAL KUALA LUMPUR, July 29 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's successful mediation of an 'immediate and unconditional ceasefire' between Thailand and Cambodia has drawn international praise and put Malaysia in the global spotlight for the right reasons. The peace deal, brokered in Putrajaya after five days of escalation, was prominently reported by major global media outlets including the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), The New York Times, Al Jazeera, and international news wires Reuters, Associated Press (AP) and Agence France-Presse (AFP). Al Jazeera's headline read: 'Thailand, Cambodia agree to 'immediate, unconditional' ceasefire: Malaysia', noting that 'Malaysian PM Anwar Ibrahim says truce between the Southeast Asian neighbours to begin at 17:00 GMT.' The BBC similarly reported: 'Thailand and Cambodia agree to 'immediate ceasefire'.' Despite the involvement of global powers such as the United States (US) and China, Malaysia's role as current ASEAN Chair proved crucial in preventing a broader humanitarian crisis stemming from the century-long border conflict, which had already claimed over 30 lives and displaced more than 300,000 people within just five days. Anwar's success in bringing both Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thailand's Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai to the negotiation table has been widely applauded. Even the US acknowledged Malaysia's leadership. 'We are grateful to Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim for his leadership and for hosting the ceasefire talks,' US Secretary of State Marco Rubio was quoted as saying in a statement issued by the State Department on Monday. This is not the first time Malaysia has played a significant role in mediating regional conflicts. The country has long earned trust as a neutral peace broker, having previously contributed to peace efforts in Aceh, southern Thailand and the southern Philippines.
