Hamzah hints at possible no-confidence motion against Anwar
"It's okay. Wait. We will do (table) it later. Why would we reveal it now?"
He said this when approached at the Pas-led rally today by New Straits Times Press reporters.
When asked if discussions on the matter had been made, Hamzah gave a wink.
Anwar had previously said the unity government would not block any vote of confidence in Parliament, amid calls from the opposition for him to step down.

Nga Kor Ming chastises ‘Turun Anwar' rally-goers for littering; trolled to 'stop talking rubbish'
Editor's Note: Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming had in the Dewan Rakyat today (July 28) stood by his statement that 20 metric tonnes of rubbish were left scattered following Saturday's (July 26) PAS-inspired 'Turun Anwar' rally. He went on to attribute the data to the Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing Corporation (SWCorp) which carried out the clean-up after the rally ended. THE fallout from the 'Turun Anwar' rally over the weekend has begun. Not with a dramatic stepping down of PMX but rather the more prosaic need to clean up after exercising one's democratic rights. This came about as Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming slammed the actions of rally participants who threw garbage everywhere, thus causing inconvenience to sanitation workers. Through a post on the X platform, the Teluk Intan MP stressed that due to the irresponsible actions of the opposition supporters, the Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing Corporation (SWCorp) had to work hard to clean up the mess left behind. Selaku Menteri yg menjaga agensi pembersihan awam @swcorp_my,saya berasa amat kesal dgn kelakuan PN yg kotor & membuang sampah di merata tempat. Krjn Madani meraikan demokrasi & tiada halangan dgn perhimpunan aman tapi tolonglah jaga kebersihan. Jangan memalukan negara. Faham? — Nga Kor Ming (@NgaKorMing) July 26, 2025 'As the Minister in charge of the public cleaning agency, I feel very sorry for the dirty behaviour of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) and the dumping of garbage everywhere,' he remarked on Saturday (July 26). 'The Madani government celebrates democracy and there is no obstacle to peaceful assemblies, but please maintain cleanliness. Don't embarrass the country.' It was claimed that 20 metric tonnes or 20,000kg of rubbish was left behind by the participants of the gathering. The opposition's response was sharp and swift, accusing Nga instead of twisting the facts and being quite poor at maths! According to PAS information chief Fadhli Shaari, if the claim was true, it would have put the attendance closer to 200,000 participants rather than 20,000. As expected, battle lines were drawn with commenter's party loyalties clearly on display. Nga's ropey calculations were called into question by various commenters with many asking how the DAP national deputy chairman derived such a figure. The cops after all had placed the attendance in the region of 18,000 protesters. Many netizens also highlighted the brazen hypocrisy, citing the damage caused at previous rallies that were pro-Pakatan Harapan (PH) in nature. More than a few highlighted the damaged police vehicle at a previous BERSIH rally (in 2011). Electoral disgruntlement was obvious with plenty of commenters asking Nga if there were no other issues to highlight. The recent gas explosion at Putra Heights, Selangor was a glaring example of a pertinent issue that needed to be discussed but could have conveniently swept under the carpet. Comments on the PAS lawmaker's Facebook page was even more scathing with many calling for Nga and the Madani administration to step down. One commenter argued that PH coalition's attitudes has not changed whether they were in opposition or in Putrajaya. Of course, racist comments are never far off whenever a DAP politician speaks with one equating the 'fight' against the 'communists' as some sort of jihad (martyrdom). It accused these 'communists' as always looking for opportunities to 'betray the Malays and seize the country'. Few things this storm-in-a-teacup highlights. The stench of hypocrisy is always prevalent. As rightly pointed out, the damage and mess caused by earlier pro-PH rallies were just as bad, if not worse. Secondly, didn't Nga's PR team brief him on the maths? His claims would inadvertently place a lot more protestors at the scene, surely not something he was aiming for. Last not least, when will Malaysians learn to focus on the pertinent issue at hand? Criticise him by all means for talking rubbish (pun fully intended) but not because of his ethnicity. – July 28, 2025

Thailand and Cambodia ceasefire talks begin in Malaysia
PUTRAJAYA: Thailand and Cambodia initiated ceasefire discussions on Monday as border tensions entered their fifth day, with over 200,000 civilians displaced by artillery and gunfire exchanges. The talks, held at Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's official residence, Seri Perdana, included delegations from the US and China. Thai acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet met shortly after 0700 GMT, following US President Donald Trump's intervention. Trump reportedly secured commitments from both leaders to 'quickly work out' a truce during late-night weekend calls. Malaysia, as the current ASEAN chair, is mediating the negotiations. However, hostilities persisted ahead of the meeting, with both sides exchanging fresh accusations. Phumtham claimed Bangkok doubted Phnom Penh's sincerity, while Cambodian defence ministry spokeswoman Maly Socheata accused Thailand of continued territorial incursions with heavy weaponry. The disputed border region, home to ancient temples, has seen repeated clashes despite past ceasefire agreements. US State Department officials and a Chinese delegation were present at the talks, reflecting international interest in stabilising the conflict. – AFP
