Malaysia's first ethnic Chinese 3-star general makes history in Malay-dominated military
Malaysia 's armed forces made a historic move when it promoted Johnny Lim Eng Seng to lieutenant general on Monday. Lim is the first ethnic Chinese serviceman to reach the rank of a three-star senior officer. It was a significant promotion in the country's Malay-dominated military, which has long struggled to attract interest from among the ethnic Chinese and ethnic Indian minorities to enlist as soldiers. Lim, who hails from Melaka state in the peninsula's south, has been with the armed forces for over 40 years. A graduate of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the UK, he was commissioned into the Malaysian Royal Ranger Regiment before rising to his current post as commandant of the Malaysian Armed Forces Defence College. 'It is truly something special. To say I am very proud of the achievement is an understatement. All the sacrifices made have been worth it,' he said, as quoted by The Star newspaper. Lim joined the army in 1984, during Malaysia's communist insurgency. His mother was initially reluctant to let her eldest child join up, he said. 'However, her love for me erased all doubts and she eventually gave her blessing.'

Malaysian lawmaker Syed Saddiq cleared of corruption after ‘5 years of hell'
The Malaysian appeal court on Wednesday quashed the corruption conviction of former youth and sports minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, admonishing the lower court for not throwing out the allegations of embezzling funds earlier. Advertisement Syed Saddiq, a 33-year-old rising political star, was found guilty in 2023 of abetting a subordinate to withdraw 1 million ringgit (US$235,000) from his party Bersatu's youth wing account, and misappropriating another 120,000 ringgit to fund his 2018 election campaign. He was fined 10 million ringgit on top of a seven-year prison sentence but was out on bail pending the appeal. On Wednesday, a three-member panel in the Court of Appeal unanimously overturned the conviction, ruling that it was the result of 'serious misdirection' by the trial judge.

Angel Chong may have to end controversial bid to join Miss Hong Kong Pageant
The youngest district councillor in Hong Kong may pull out of the Miss Hong Kong Pageant after her attempt to enter the competition drew criticism for compromising her duty to residents, with the leader of her political party telling the Post she would be reaching a 'thorough decision' soon. Gary Chan Hak-kan, chairman of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB), said on Wednesday that the party had called on Sai Kung district councillor Angel Chong Nga-ting, 24, to fulfil her duties. 'DAB has requested Chong to fulfil her duties and not let down the expectations of the residents, the Hong Kong government and everyone. I believe she will make a very carefully considered decision and announce it to everyone soon,' he told the Post. His comments came a day after Chong was spotted at Tseung Kwan O TVB City for the first round of interviews for the beauty contest. Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs Alice Mak Mei-kuen said on Tuesday that every district councillor, regardless of their profession, background or sector, must meet the requirements of the performance monitoring system. Asked if Chong could retain her post if she won the pageant, Mak stressed that district councillors must perform their duties conscientiously regardless of the activities or work they want to participate in.
