Shahidan exits Malaysia Athletics race at last minute, leaving two-man contest for top post
KUALA LUMPUR, June 15 — The race for the top post in Malaysia Athletics (MA) turned dramatic today when incumbent president Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim withdrew at the eleventh hour. MA confirmed the development in a video posted on its official Facebook page, in which Shahidan did not disclose any reason for the withdrawal. 'I, Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim, wish to withdraw from contesting the presidency of Malaysia Athletics for the 2025–2028 term. I hope this General Assembly proceeds smoothly and in an orderly manner,' he said in the video. Shahidan previously helmed MA from 2006 to 2012, before returning to lead the national body in June 2022. It is understood that another candidate, Terengganu Amateur Athletics Association president Datuk Wan Hisham Wan Salleh, has also withdrawn from the race for the president's post. This development now sets the stage for a straight fight between current MA deputy president Datuk Mark William Ling Lee Meng and Perak Amateur Athletics Association president Datuk Karim Ibrahim. — Bernama

GRS confident of continued alliance with Pakatan in Sabah polls, says PGRS veep
LABUAN, June 15 — Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) is optimistic that its political alliance with Pakatan Harapan (PH) will continue into the Sabah state election. Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (PGRS) vice-president Datuk Mohd Arifin Mohd Arif said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Mohd Noor, who is also PGRS president, is making strategic efforts to ensure the continuation of the coalition's collaboration with PH both during and after the polls. 'The current Sabah government is a combination of GRS and president is fine-tuning the details of ongoing discussions with PH, and he will make an official announcement in due course,' he told Bernama after officiating the Labuan PGRS annual conference here today. He said the Labuan division would play a critical support role during the state election campaign, especially by reaching out to Labuan-based Sabah voters. 'One of the key efforts is the opening of an operations room here in Labuan, specifically to coordinate support for PGRS candidates,' he said. The current five-year term of the 16th Sabah state assembly will expire automatically on Nov 11. In a recent statement, Hajiji reaffirmed that the cooperation between GRS and PH is based on shared governance goals and the commitment to political stability in Sabah. He said that both coalitions have demonstrated that working together has yielded positive outcomes for the people, and the partnership remains essential for ensuring continued development and unity in the state. — Bernama

Ewon: Proposal submitted to teach four more Sabah ethnic languages in schools
PENAMPANG, June 15 — A proposal to expand the teaching of the Kadazandusun language subject in schools to include four other ethnic languages in Sabah has been submitted to the Federal Government for consideration, said Minister of Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Datuk Ewon Benedick. He said the four major ethnic languages proposed are the Tatana language in Kuala Penyu, Kadazan Tangaa in Penampang, Murut Timugon in Tenom and Dusun Lotud in Tuaran. The United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation (Upko) president said he, along with a delegation from Sabah, had held discussions with Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek and the Ministry of Education delegation last year. 'Yang Berhormat Fadhlina subsequently agreed for a special committee under the Ministry of Education to be established to study this proposal. I will continue to follow up on all efforts to realise this initiative. 'Up to now, the Kadazandusun language subject in schools has been based solely on the Bunduliwan Dusun dialect,' he said in a statement after officiating the Odou do Kaamatan celebration at Kampung Mahandoi here today. Ewon said efforts to strengthen the ethnic language curriculum are ongoing initiatives involving various parties including the Kadazandusun Language Foundation (KLF), the Momogun National Congress (MNC), and the Sabah Ethnic Languages Association. He said his ministry is also supporting the effort through the allocation of special funding to four ethnic language associations for the development of modules, workbooks and textbooks. 'The teaching of these four Sabah ethnic languages can be implemented on a pilot basis in selected schools. For example, in Kuala Penyu, teaching the Tatana language would be more appropriate compared to using the Bunduliwan dialect,' he said. According to Ewon, Sabah could emulate the implementation of ethnic language education in government schools in Sarawak, which has piloted the teaching of the Iban and Bidayuh languages. 'Efforts in this direction are underway. A delegation from Sabah has also visited schools in Sarawak to observe first-hand the implementation of Bidayuh language teaching, in addition to the Iban language,' he said. — Bernama
