DAP's Bandar Utama rep Jamaliah Jamaluddin announces marriage to long-time partner
KUALA LUMPUR, June 9 — Bandar Utama assemblyman Jamaliah Jamaluddin today announced that she has tied the knot. The Selangor executive councillor for public health and environment said she had married her partner whose name she gave only as 'Joshua' in a private ceremony. 'With great gratitude to Allah SWT, I would like to share one happy news that is very personal to me — Alhamdulillah with His permission, my spouse and I have safely married yesterday,' the DAP state lawmaker wrote in a Facebook post this morning. Jamaliah said the wedding was held in a 'small and intimate setting' attended by immediate family members and close friends who had known the couple since their secondary school days. 'The decision was made based on discussions with family, and in respect of the family's request to focus on the wisdom of the marriage bond itself.' She added that Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari – her former 'boss' who had also 'once mentored my husband while undergoing industry training' – and Puchong MP Yeo Bee Yin were among those present for the marriage ceremony. Jamaliah also apologised to those who might feel left out of the quiet ceremony. 'Humbly, I apologise if this decision creates a feeling of disregard or displeasure to any party. 'It was not an easy decision, apart from friends and family members, I know many of the members and party leaders also always pray and expect the best for me,' she posted. She said the ceremony was made with 'great care' and guided by the agreement of both families. 'InshaAllah, my partner and I hope there will be another space and time to celebrate this happiness together with friends and acquaintances in a more open and lively atmosphere.'

Ramasamy wants Penang EXCO reprimanded for unilateral decision on Indian Muslim housing discount
I CANNOT stop wondering at how the Penang state government could permit an EXCO member to make unilateral announcements without the approval or endorsement of the state executive council (EXCO). I am bewildered that Penang state Housing and Environment Committee chairman Datuk Seri S. Sundarajoo could announce a 5% housing discount for Indian Muslims under the Madani housing scheme without apparent consultation with his other EXCO colleagues. Sundarajoo justified the move on grounds of low participation among Indian Muslims in state housing. But can he furnish data to back this claim? What are the comparative participation rates of Malays, Chinese, Indians and Indian Muslims? He also stated that this discount would not affect allocations for the Malays – yet he seems to overlook the complex identity overlap where some Indian Muslims are classified as Malay/Bumiputera while others maintain their distinct ethnic identity. Has there been any study quantifying the percentage of Indian Muslims who qualify under the Bumiputera category versus those who identify separately? Jumping the gun? Without such data, it's hard to justify a policy decision that could result in dual benefits for a segment of the population, raising questions of fairness and equity. Had this proposal been tabled in an EXCO meeting, its flaws could have been debated and possibly avoided. But instead, Sundarajoo proceeded based on consultations with developers – not the state government – casting doubt on the integrity of Penang's housing policy framework. This was a poor decision made without transparency and without consideration for other equally deserving communities. The policy lacked sound rationale and undermined public confidence. In this regard, I commend Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow for stepping in to reverse the decision and broadening the discount to all eligible Malaysians. I urge Chow to go a step further – reprimand Perai state assemblyman Sundarajoo for bypassing proper procedure and acting irresponsibly on a matter of public policy. – June 9, 2025 Former DAP stalwart and Penang chief minister II Prof Ramasamy Palanisamy is chairman of the United Rights of Malaysian Party (Urimai) interim council.

Urgent need for a clear definition of native: Parti Kerjasama Anak Negeri
Published on: Monday, June 09, 2025 Published on: Mon, Jun 09, 2025 By: Jinni Juanis Text Size: According to Henrynus, thousands of acres have been allegedly granted to 'dubious natives' (those with questionable native status) in several districts in Sabah. Kota Kinabalu: Parti Kerjasama Anak Negeri (PKAN) has called for a clearer definition of 'Sabah native' similar to Sarawak so as to bring clarity and remove any doubt and ambiguity about the word 'native'. Its President, Datuk Henrynus @ Rinus Amin, also wants an added clause that no native certificates be valid without an 'appropriate declaration by the Sabah Native Court.' Advertisement 'We want a clause that specifically states if evidence emerges that a citizenship or a native certificate was obtained fraudulently, the issuing authority, the Native Court in Sabah, has the legal right to revoke it, and those involved in the fraud face legal repercussions. 'There's an urgent need to resolve this issue because foreigners posing as Malaysian citizens and natives with fraudulently obtained identity cards are illegally occupying native or customary land across Sabah. 'We're getting troubling reports about native land being occupied by newcomers with dubious identity in Ranau, Keningau, Sook, Nabawan, Tongod, Beluran, Pitas, Sipitang, Lahad Datu, and Kalabakan,' he said. He alleged that these newcomers with questionable citizenship are purchasing or occupying these lands and creating new settlements and shifting demographics. Advertisement According to Henrynus, thousands of acres have been allegedly granted to 'dubious natives' (those with questionable native status) in several districts in Sabah. He did not say under which administration this happened but that hese individuals then register as voters, fundamentally altering the political demographics of these areas. He said as many as 500,000 individuals in Sabah may have obtained Malaysian identity cards (MyKad) through questionable means. Currently, the Kadazan Dusun population now stands at only 19 per cent in total. In contrast, another ethnic group has reportedly surged and this raised question of their origin. He said if they are not from Peninsular Malaysia, the conclusion is that they must be foreigners masquerading as bumis to obtain identity cards and subsequently claim rights to Sabah native land. 'The party is also concerned about coastal squatter settlements near major towns, which are populated by individuals of questionable citizenship claiming native status and seeking state recognition for their villages.' He said in Sabah, the primary enactment that defines 'natives of Sabah' is the Interpretation (Definition of Native) Ordinance 1952 (Sabah Cap 64). Unlike Sarawak, which lists specific indigenous races, he said the Federal Constitution for Sabah refers to 'a person of a race indigenous to Sabah,' again deferring to the Interpretation (Definition of Native) Ordinance 1952. He said the status of Kadazan Dusun, Murut and Sungai or collectively Momogun is not clearly defined in Interpretation (Definition of Native) Ordinance 1952. 'This lack of a precise list casts doubt on the validity and relevance of the existing definition,' he said. Henrynus said amendment to the definition of 'native' in Sabah has been a long-standing and complex issue which no state government was willing to take on. He is not sure what is being done by the State Government, but questioned why Kadazan Dusun assemblymen from Star, PBS and Upko who were outspoken on the issue during election, remain muted after the election. He said Parti Anak Negeri will push for the clause to be amended to clarify and establish the status of new migrants from Malaya, the Philippines and Indonesia as non-native. 'The vague definitions and the reliance on native court declarations have allegedly led to instances where individuals without genuine indigenous lineage have obtained native status.' * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
