KPKT Selects Kampung Tok Kepak For MADANI Adopted Village Programme 2025
In a statement, the ministry said the programme aligns with the government's efforts to narrow the development gap between rural and urban areas under the MADANI aspiration.
A total of 15 high-impact projects have been planned and are underway in the village. These include five under KPKT's KAM 2025 initiative, four under the BP1 Assistance Programme, two from the Urban Community Development Programme (PPKB), two by the National Landscape Department (JLN), one by the Kedah ICU, and one by the Ministry of Education (MOE).
'These projects focus on both physical and social development, aiming to enhance the quality of life for Kampung Tok Kepak residents, especially in terms of public facilities, economic opportunities, and community empowerment,' the statement read.
Among the completed projects is the demolition and reconstruction of the village community hall, a collaborative effort between the Department of Local Government (JKT) and the Kubang Pasu Municipal Council (MPKP).
The upgraded facility, now known as the Kampung Tok Kepak Community Hall, was officially launched on July 19 by KPKT secretary-general Datuk Wira M Noor Azman Taib.
During the event, he expressed hope that the new hall would serve as a hub for community activities and be well cared for by local residents for their shared benefit.
Other projects currently in progress under the KAM initiative include road resurfacing, upgrades to the KEMAS preschool and Tok Kepak Mosque, enhancements to Sekolah Kebangsaan Tok Kepak, installation of LED streetlights, landscaping works, and the construction and repair of homes for eligible residents. The total investment exceeds RM3 million.
'These efforts reflect KPKT's strong commitment to empowering rural communities through balanced, inclusive, and people-centric development,' the ministry added.

Asean FMS urge restraint, immediate ceasefire in Thailand-Cambodia border conflict
KUALA LUMPUR: The Asean Foreign Ministers have urged Thailand and Cambodia to exercise maximum restraint and implement an immediate ceasefire over the ongoing border dispute between both countries. They also called on both sides to return to the negotiating table and refrain from taking any actions that may undermine peace efforts. In a statement dated July 27, the ministers said they are deeply concerned with the situation that has resulted in an increasing number of casualties on both sides, destruction of public properties, and displacement of a large number of people along the border areas. "We further urge both sides to cease all hostilities, return to the negotiating table to restore peace and stability, and settle disputes and differences by peaceful means, based on the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, the Asean Charter, as well as the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia (TAC) and in the spirit of Asean family, unity, and good neighbourliness," the statement read. The ministers have reaffirmed their support for efforts by the Asean Chair to facilitate dialogue between both sides and bring an end to the fighting. The statement came ahead of a planned peace talks between Cambodia and Thailand scheduled for 3 pm Monday in Putrajaya. Cambodian Premier Hun Manet and Thailand's acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai separately confirmed yesterday that they would attend the highly anticipated meeting initiated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as current Asean Chair. The two Southeast Asian neighbours have a long history of diplomatic rows over an 817-kilometre undemarcated stretch of their shared border. Tensions between Thailand and Cambodia have been simmering since May 28 following a skirmish between their troops near the disputed Preah Vihear border area, which claimed the life of a Cambodian soldier. The latest round of hostility erupted on July 24. Armed clashes have been reported along Cambodia's northern border region, with fatalities on both sides. — BERNAMA

CGTN Highlights President Xi's Call For Stronger China-EU Ties At Landmark 25th Summit
BUSINESS KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 (Bernama) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping met with European Union (EU) leaders at the 25th China-EU Summit in Beijing, marking 50 years of diplomatic relations and calling for deeper cooperation in trade, investment, and global governance. As reported by China Global Television Network Corporation (CGTN), the summit emphasised China's push for multilateralism, economic openness, and mutual respect as the guiding principles for future China-EU relations. During a meeting at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing recently, President Xi told European Council President Antonio Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen that China-EU relations have entered a critical historical juncture. Xi said there are no fundamental conflicts of interest or geopolitical contradictions between the two sides, stressing that cooperation remains the dominant feature of bilateral ties, according to CGTN in a statement. He proposed that both parties uphold mutual respect, pursue openness and cooperation while managing differences, and jointly safeguard multilateralism and the international rules-based order. Xi said the China-EU economic relationship is naturally complementary and mutually beneficial and highlighted the importance of deepening partnerships in green and digital sectors. According to China's customs data, trade between China and the EU reached US$785.8 billion in 2024, a 300-fold increase compared to 1975, when relations were first established. (US$1=RM4.21) He also urged the EU to maintain an open market and refrain from restrictive trade measures to ensure a favourable business environment for Chinese enterprises in Europe, citing Chinese battery giant CALB's US$2.2 billion plant in Portugal—expected to create 1,800 jobs—as a model of productive bilateral investment. CGTN highlighted that both sides agreed to upgrade their export control dialogue mechanism, enhance communication, and ensure the stability of industrial and supply chains at the summit.
