Child with heart disease receives financial aid from PM
KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim made a contribution to ease the cost of treatment of a two-year-old child, Ayyash Waseem Mohd Fuad, who has been suffering from heart problems since birth.
The contribution was presented by the Prime Minister's Political Secretary Datuk Ahmad Farhan Fauzi to the child's father, Mohd Fuad Abd Malek, during a visit to the family home at Indera Mahkota 2, Kuantan, Pahang.
Sharing the matter on Facebook today, Ahmad Farhan said the donation was a sign of concern for the tests the family was going through.
"Hopefully, this small assistance can ease their burden, and may this child continue to be strong against the health tests she is facing," he said in a post that was also shared by the prime minister.
Ahmad Farhan said Mohd Fuad cultivated kantan flowers to cover the cost of Ayyash Waseem's treatment which could reach up to RM600 per month, in addition to the needs of his two other children who are still in school.
"I also understand that Ayyash had recently undergone a surgery procedure involving her heart. InsyaAllah, another surgery is scheduled when this child will be five years old," he said. – Bernama

Thai PM thanks Anwar for offer to assist in border dispute
BANGKOK: Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has discussed the Thai-Cambodia border situation with Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in a phone call on Friday, where Anwar expressed readiness to assist both sides in resolving the dispute. "Thank you, PM Anwar Ibrahim, for the call this afternoon to discuss the Thai-Cambodian border situation and to express readiness to help both sides resolve the matter. I reaffirmed Thailand's commitment to a peaceful resolution through existing bilateral mechanisms while safeguarding our sovereignty in accordance with international law," she stated on her official X account. Malaysia, as the current Asean chair, is closely monitoring developments on the border issue. Earlier on Friday, after chairing a National Security Council meeting, Paetongtarn announced Thailand had established a special task force to address security concerns along its border with Cambodia. She said the army had been assigned to coordinate operations and maintain readiness to respond to any developments, prioritising sovereignty protection while ensuring international relations and national security. The meeting was attended by Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, Foreign Minister Maris Sangiampongsa, Supreme Commander General Songwit Noonpakdee, National Security Council Chief Chatchai Bangchuad, and the military's commanders-in-chief. On May 28, Thai and Cambodian troops engaged in a brief gunfight in Thailand's north-eastern Ubon Ratchathani province and Cambodia's northern Preah Vihear province, where one Cambodian soldier was reportedly killed. Cambodia has since announced its intention to bring the border dispute to the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Meanwhile, both countries have agreed to discuss the issue through the Joint Boundary Commission (JBC), which is set to meet in Phnom Penh on June 14.– BERNAMA

Hun Manet Briefs Anwar On Cambodia-Thai Border Dispute
By Vijian Paramasivam PHNOM PENH, June 6 (Bernama) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet said today that he had discussed the ongoing border tension with Thailand with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Manet in his Facebook posting said he explained the Kingdom's position related to the Cambodia-Thailand border to Anwar during a phone conversation. bootstrap slideshow 'Cambodia adheres to the principle of maintaining peace, friendship, and good cooperation with Thailand. 'Cambodia's decision to refer Ta Moan Thom Temple, Ta Moan Tauch Temple, Ta Krabei Temple and Mom Bei areas to the International Court of Justice is to seek an early, peaceful and permanent solution to the border issue in these areas rather than to prolong the uncertainty which can lead to renewed armed conflicts,' said Manet. Border dispute between both the neighbours was triggered after a Cambodian soldier was killed following a clash with Thai troops in Preah Vihear province on May 28. He further added that the Kingdom continues to cooperate with Thailand to expedite the demarcation and delimitation of the border (except the four areas mentioned above) through the Cambodia-Thailand Joint Commission on Demarcation for Land Boundary (JBC). The joint commission meeting is scheduled for June 14 in Phnom Penh. 'Cambodia continues to maintain relations between the two countries through all existing mechanisms for the mutual benefit of the two peoples,' he told Anwar, who is the chair of ASEAN this year.

Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said the story of the sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) is not just history, but rather a guideline for life that teaches that every sincere struggle will surely receive great rewards from Allah SWT.
