JOHOR BAHRU: The 2025 Johor edition of the MADANI Rakyat Programme (PMR) officially kicks off today at Toppen Shopping Centre here, with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim scheduled to officiate the event at 3.30 pm.

Other attractions at PMR Johor include tournaments for badminton, table tennis, netball, pickleball, chess, Mobile Legends eSports, aerobics sessions, the People's Comedy Festival (Temasya Komedi Rakyat), and a Viral Food Bazaar at the mall's outdoor area.
Johor is the second stop after Sabah (May 9–11) in this year's PMR tour series, which will continue in Lumut (Perak), Kuala Terengganu (Terengganu), Kota Lama (Kelantan), Nilai (Negeri Sembilan), Baling (Kedah), Jasin (Melaka), and Bintulu (Sarawak).
PMR serves as a strategic platform that unites the Federal Government, State Governments, Ministries, government agencies, and government-linked companies (GLCs) to deliver information, opportunities and services directly to the people.

Kota Kinabalu: The setting up of a recreation and welfare club for former Sabah sepak takraw players has received the support of former Chief Minister Datuk Seri Salleh Said. The call was made by Abdullah Hj Majid, who was the organising chairman of a reunion dinner (Majlis Reunion Legend-Legend Sepaktakraw Sabah) for former State players held here in Asia City on Tuesday. He said the aim of the club is to appreciate the contributions of all the players who have worn the Sabah jersey and brought glory to the state of Sabah and also to the country. Salleh, who was the guest of honour, has given his blessing for the club to be established so that the welfare of the players will be taken care of, especially during hard times. Abdullah added that they are planning to publish a 'Sabah Sepak Takraw Legend' magazine where the biodata of players from the 70s, 80s, 90s will be featured along with photographs involving them competing for the state and country.

United winger Amad explains obscene gesture
KUALA LUMPUR: Manchester United winger Amad says he doesn't regret making what appeared to be an obscene gesture towards some fans in Malaysia because his mother allegedly had been insulted. Footage shared widely on social media appeared to show the 22-year-old Ivory Coast international raising his middle finger while outside a hotel with his teammates in Kuala Lumpur earlier this week. 'I have respect for people but not for the one who insults my mum,' Amad wrote on X. 'I shouldn't have reacted like that but I don't regret what I did. 'We had a great time in Malaysia with good people.' United did not respond to a request for comment. The team's postseason Asia tour had already got off to a bad start when United lost their friendly against a Asean All-Stars 1-0 in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday. Some fans booed in response. Even Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was disappointed, suggesting United could be relegated after watching the team lose, despite the fact they were probably affected by jet lag. 'Ouch. Man United failed to win another trophy,' Anwar, one of 72,500 fans at Bukit Jalil Stadium in the Malaysian capital, wrote on social media. 'Looks like you're in for another tough season, hope you don't drop to the Championship,' he added, referring to England's second tier. United then travelled to Hong Kong for another friendly. 'We were not really focused in the last game, and everybody can feel it,' United manager Ruben Amorim said on Thursday. 'We just want to turn the page and improve in the next season.' On Sunday, United finished 15th in the Premier League, their lowest-ever ranking in the competition, just four days after a loss in the Europa League final to Tottenham meant their European season ended without a trophy. — AP
