PETALING JAYA: The Vice-Chancellor of Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI), Professor Datuk Dr Md Amin Md Taff, has clarified that the bus journey involved in the tragic accident along the East-West Highway in Banun, Gerik, was a private arrangement made by students themselves and not a university-organised programme. According to him, the tour bus had been privately hired by students for their return journey to campus after spending the Aidiladha holidays in their hometowns around Jertih and Hulu Terengganu areas. 'This journey was entirely managed by the students themselves for their return from the Hari Raya Haji break, with no involvement from lecturers or university staff,' he emphasised during an interview with Sinar Harian, today. Following the tragic incident, UPSI took swift action by establishing a special operations centre operating round-the-clock to coordinate welfare assistance and provide support to victims and their families.

Embassy hosts Aidiladha celebration for Malaysians in Bangkok
- Photo: Malaysian Embassy in Thailand BANGKOK: (Bernama) The Embassy of Malaysia in Thailand hosted a gathering for Malaysians abroad and local guests on Saturday (June 6) to mark this year's Hari Raya Aidiladha. Chargé d'Affaires ad interim of Malaysia to Thailand, Bong Yik Jui, said while Aidiladha signified the values of sacrifice, devotion, and unity among Muslims worldwide, it also solemnly reflected to the duty and dedication carried out by the mission, in upholding Malaysia's interests overseas. The embassy also welcomed a visiting delegation from the Royal Military College (RMC), comprising 32 Putera cadets and five officers at the celebration. The delegation, led by its Commandant, Brig Gen Shaiful Azuar Ariffin, is currently in Bangkok for a one-week student exchange programme with Thailand's Armed Forces Academies Preparatory School (AFAPS). Bong noted that the visit offered RMC students a unique opportunity to experience Hari Raya celebration away from their families and friends. "The celebration served not only as a religious gathering but also as a meaningful occasion to strengthen the bonds among Malaysians in Thailand,' he added. - Bernama
