Thailand and Cambodia ceasefire talks begin in Malaysia
PUTRAJAYA: Thailand and Cambodia initiated ceasefire discussions on Monday as border tensions entered their fifth day, with over 200,000 civilians displaced by artillery and gunfire exchanges. The talks, held at Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's official residence, Seri Perdana, included delegations from the US and China. Thai acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet met shortly after 0700 GMT, following US President Donald Trump's intervention. Trump reportedly secured commitments from both leaders to 'quickly work out' a truce during late-night weekend calls. Malaysia, as the current ASEAN chair, is mediating the negotiations. However, hostilities persisted ahead of the meeting, with both sides exchanging fresh accusations. Phumtham claimed Bangkok doubted Phnom Penh's sincerity, while Cambodian defence ministry spokeswoman Maly Socheata accused Thailand of continued territorial incursions with heavy weaponry. The disputed border region, home to ancient temples, has seen repeated clashes despite past ceasefire agreements. US State Department officials and a Chinese delegation were present at the talks, reflecting international interest in stabilising the conflict. – AFP

Education amendment bill 2025 makes secondary school compulsory
KUALA LUMPUR: The Education (Amendment) Bill 2025 was tabled for its first reading in the Dewan Rakyat today, proposing significant changes to Malaysia's education system. The bill aims to make secondary education compulsory, expanding the current definition under the Education Act 1996. Deputy Education Minister Wong Kah Woh introduced the bill, confirming that the second reading will follow during the ongoing parliamentary session. The amendments target Section 2 of the Education Act 1996, redefining 'compulsory education' to include secondary schooling. A new provision, Section 32A, mandates that parents of Malaysian children residing in the country must enroll their children in secondary education institutions and ensure continuous attendance. Non-compliance could lead to penalties, including fines up to RM5,000, imprisonment for six months, or both. The bill acknowledges that these changes will require additional government funding, though the exact financial impact remains undetermined. The move aligns with broader efforts to enhance educational attainment and reduce dropout rates nationwide. - Bernama
