Speaking at the Kelantan-level Citrawarna Siam Malaysia Festival 2025 at Wat Machimmaram, Shaharuddin noted recurring fraud cases and stressed the importance of public vigilance. 'Awareness helps people identify legitimate services,' he added.

#SHOWBIZ: HK actor Alfred Cheung praises Ipoh hor fun
KUALA LUMPUR: Hong Kong actor Alfred Cheung Kin Ting delighted Malaysians in May when he revealed he was in Kuala Lumpur for a holiday with his niece and a group of friends. At the time, Cheung, 69, was full of praise for Malaysia, calling it a potential second home and highlighting the country's cleanliness, as well as the warmth and humility of its people. Cheung recently made a return trip – this time to Ipoh, Perak, where he sought medical treatment. Even with health matters on the agenda, the foodie in him couldn't resist indulging in local cuisine, including kaya toast, bean sprouts chicken rice, and Ipoh white coffee, which he described as a "richer Hong Kong-style afternoon tea". However, it was the city's chicken hor fun that truly stole the filmmaker's heart. "It's the best Cantonese dish I've had in decades. I used to think the best hor fun was from Guangzhou, but after trying the one in Ipoh, everything else doesn't compare," he said in a Facebook post. Cheung, who has participated in the production of over 80 films, also took the opportunity to commend the people in Ipoh, Penang, and KL for their efforts in preserving traditional Cantonese culture. "Not only do they preserve traditional Cantonese culture but also blend it with Malay culinary traditions to create unique flavours," he added.

Unrest, disease risk not a deterrent for M'sian travellers
At the ready: Thai authorities manning a roadblock in Narathiwat during an inspection. — Bernama GEORGE TOWN: Thailand remains a top holiday destination for Malaysians despite the country's latest political crisis. The suspension of Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra coupled with ongoing violence in some of the country's southern provinces and a surge in respiratory illnesses are unlikely to deter Malaysians. Haadyai, a city close to the border with Kedah, remains a favourite for a quick break. Executive Erma Idayu Mohd Yusop, 38, is planning a weekend trip there with her family despite the country's troubles. 'I'm not worried at all. In fact, we're heading to Haadyai this weekend for a short family vacation,' she said. She said she would avoid the so-called Deep South – the provinces of Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat and parts of Songkhla – where violence linked to a decades-long insurgency has increased. 'Of course we won't go to risky places. I'll also wear a face mask and stay away from crowded spots, especially with my elderly parents and kids,' she said. On July 1, Thai Department of Disease Control spokesperson Dr Jurai Wongsawat warned of increased risks for eight diseases including Covid-19, influenza, dengue fever and measles as the country heads into its rainy season. Dr Jurai also urged the public to take precautions in light of the rising cases of Covid-19 and the threat of bird flu, which has recently emerged in Cambodia. Civil servant Edward Lee, 45, is also heading north. 'I feel the western coast of southern Thailand is still relatively safe. The issues seem to be concentrated in the southernmost areas,' he said. He has visited Haadyai before and plans to go again this week. 'As long as we stay cautious and avoid troubled zones, there shouldn't be a problem. Life has to go on,' he said. He said many Malaysians are still drawn to Thailand for its food and shopping. A travel agency said demand for trips to Haadyai had spiked. 'All seats for this weekend are fully booked,' said a staff member. 'Families, couples and even groups of friends are going. Everyone wants a short getaway.' Insurance and travel agent Mohd Hazrizal Abdul Halim, 26, whose shop is near Bukit Kayu Hitam, said he had seen more customers than usual. The surge in Malaysian visitors to Thailand are occurring even as the past three months have seen more than 10 violent incidents in the southern provinces which have claimed the lives of children, security personnel and village defence volunteers. 'Sales went up about 20% for this weekend,' said Mohd Hazrizal, adding that he expects to see more business as school holidays approach. 'Malaysians just love going to Thailand,' he added.

Business as usual in Bangkok
PETALING JAYA: For Malaysians working in Thailand, life is the same daily grind of getting through traffic and dealing with the heat, amid the latest political upheaval that has rocked the 'land of smiles'. Life in bustling Bangkok is just the same as any other day – its roads are clogged with traffic and pavements packed with tourists and office workers. Individuals who trade between Thailand and Malaysia also say nothing has changed for ordinary folk after Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra was suspended on Tuesday by a special Constitutional Court. Thailand remains vibrant and safe, said Chia Chin, 38, who owns a clothing shop in Bangkok. Chin, who regularly travels to Bangkok, says his shop is located more than 5km from Bangkok's Victory Monument, where anti-government demonstrations often took place. 'As my store is not close to the protest site, I chose to stay open. Still, I was prepared to shut down operations if the situation escalated. 'That day, business was completely flat — I didn't make a single sale,' he said. Nevertheless, Chia believes Thailand is safe for both tourists and business people. 'I feel secure here. Once the political situation calms down, things will return to normal,' he added. Malaysia remains the largest source of foreign tourists to Thailand with 2,041,002 visiting the country in the first half of 2025, according to the Thai Tourism and Sports Ministry. Malaysian visitors overtook those from China at 2,029,481 and India (1,035,864). Dr Silva Kumar, who works for a US-owned food processing equipment manufacturer, said that it is the heat and humidity that bothers him more than the latest twists in Thai politics. 'We are used to these sorts of silent upheavals. 'So far nothing has happened, just the daily traffic jams, grind of work and tourists in the city,' said the Provisur Technologies NewCo Thailand Ltd general manager. The 65-year-old, who is originally from Taiping, Perak, lives with his wife in the bustling area of Asoke in Bangkok. As a precaution, Silva said he avoids areas that are popular spots for protesters. He said that the Malaysian Embassy is also constantly in touch with Malaysians in Bangkok. A digital creator who only wants to be known as Mrs Neo, 27, said the situation is calm as even when there are protests, they are not violent. Neo, who is from Kuala Lumpur, currently lives in Muak Lek in Saraburi province. 'Life goes on but many locals seem to want the prime minister to resign because they didn't like what they heard in the recording.' But she added that Thais also do not want a return to the political instability that rocked Thailand in the past. On June 28, anti-government protesters gathered in Bangkok demanding that Paetongtarn quit after a recording of a phone call between her and Cambodian leader Hun Sen was leaked. In the recording, Paetongtarn was heard addressing Hun Sen as 'uncle' and denigrating a Thai military commander at the centre of a border dispute between the two countries. The Thai constitutional court has suspended Paetongtarn pending investigation into the call. Wongpun Amarinthewa, a Thai journalist with said the fate of the current government is hanging by a thread. 'Last Saturday, the anti-government protest was considered the biggest since the return of the Pheu Thai government in 2023. 'The majority of protest leaders are the former leaders of the yellow shirt protests of 2005-2010 against the Shinawatra family. 'This makes Thais feel like the old political scene and actors have returned,' he said. Wongpun said many also believe that the constitutional court's decision was not justified.
