A royalist activist holds a Thai flag as he protests in front of the Royal Embassy of Cambodia, following a recent clash at the Thailand-Cambodia border on May 28, 2025, in Bangkok, Thailand, June 6, 2025. - Reuters BANGKOK: Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra said she has discussed the Thai-Cambodia border situation with Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim during a phone conversation on Friday (June 6). She said Anwar has 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 to 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 said on her official X account on Friday. Malaysia as the current Asean chair, is understood to be closely monitoring developments on the border issue. Earlier Friday, Paetongtarn, after chairing the National Security Council meeting, announced that 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 the protection of sovereignty while safeguarding international relations to ensure 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 were involved 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, the two neighbours have agreed to discuss the issue through the Joint Boundary Commission (JBC), scheduled to meet in Phnom Penh on 14 June. - Bernama

JERANTUT: The Perodua Bezza involved in a tragic accident at Km7 of Jalan Jerantut-Maran earlier today had allegedly made a sudden U-turn at a junction along the poorly lit stretch, resulting in a collision with a Toyota Alphard. Five people, including four siblings travelling in the Bezza, died at the scene in the midnight crash. Three others, including a woman in the Alphard, sustained injuries. Jerantut district police chief, Superintendent Zukri Muhammad, said the department was alerted to the incident following a call from a member of the public at 12.40am. "Investigations revealed that the Alphard was travelling from Maran towards Jerantut town. The Bezza suddenly made a U-turn at the junction, which led to a collision involving both vehicles. "We will record statements from witnesses, including those travelling in the Alphard, to assist in the investigation," he said in a statement today. Zukri said the Bezza was driven by Mohamad Ikmal Ishak, 26, from Ulu Kinta, Perak, who was travelling with four siblings from Bota, Perak. The four siblings were Nur Arfiqah Aziz Jaafar, 23; Mohammad Zulkifli Aziz Jaafar, 21; Mohamad Azizul Hakimi Aziz Jaafar, 19; and Nurul Hazwani Aziz Jaafar, 17.

Published on: Saturday, June 07, 2025 Published on: Sat, Jun 07, 2025 By: Cynthia D Baga Text Size: The offence is framed under Section 324/326A of the Penal Code. Kota Kinabalu: A 43-year-old jobless was jailed six years and fined RM2,000 in default three months for causing hurt to his son with a wooden stick. Shahmar Asecio pleaded guilty before Sessions Court Judge Marlina Ibrahim, to the charge against him. Advertisement He hurt to his 16-year-old son by hitting him with the wood at 11.30am on June 2, this year at a house in Kg Baitam Laut, Membakut. The offence is framed under Section 324/326A of the Penal Code. The court ordered Shahmar to serve the jail sentence concurrently with the sentence for another offence. In mitigation, Shahmar who was not represented asked for a lenient sentence. Advertisement However, Deputy Public Prosecutor Afiqah Alya urged the court to impose a heavy sentence to deter and give a lesson not only to Shahmar but public at large from committing such offence. The court heard that while the son was in the kitchen Shahmar came from behind and hit him with wood on his shoulder, head and right leg. The victim's mother then tried to stop Shahmar who suddenly took a machete and threatened the victim with the weapon. The son who was in fear then lodged a police report which led to Shahmar's arrest on the same day. * 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?
