IPOH: The Perak MADANI Rakyat Programme (PMR) 2025, to be held at Lumut Waterfront from June 13 to 15, will feature a range of engaging activities, including satellite programmes with the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN), the local fishing community, and religious events.
The Prime Minister's Department, through the Performance Acceleration and Coordination Unit (PACU), said the programme is organised in collaboration with the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) as the lead ministry, with the Perak state government as host. With the theme 'Pendidikan Tinggi Pemacu Negara MADANI', this year's edition focuses on the vital role of higher learning institutions in national development.
'This Perak PMR will highlight the role of universities and colleges in shaping policies and driving initiatives based on knowledge, research, innovation, and critical thinking.
'It will also feature public outreach services, community welfare programmes, leadership engagement sessions, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities by government-linked companies (GLCs), in line with efforts to bring government services closer to the people and promote MADANI values,' PACU said in a statement.
Visitors can also look forward to mobile service counters from federal and state ministries and agencies, local authorities, and a special showcase by the state government. The Perak Sejahtera 2030 agenda will be promoted through development booths expected to draw public attention.
The programme will run from 9 am to 10 pm on Friday and Saturday, and from 9 am to 6 pm on Sunday. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is scheduled to officiate the event, which will also be attended by senior leaders from both federal and state governments.
PACU Strategic Programme director Mohd Zainuddin Mohd Noor said one of the main satellite events is the Kenduri Rakyat MADANI with RMN personnel, which the Prime Minister will attend on June 15.
Other activities include a community event with fishermen in Kampung Datuk Seri Kamarudin on June 21, and religious programmes at Felcra Gugusan Lekir on June 20 and 21, organised by FELDA's regulatory division.
Meanwhile, MOHE's Management Services Division secretary, Mohd Fazli Said, said the Perak PMR will also showcase the success and contributions of Malaysia's higher education system, particularly in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).
'Over the three-day event, we will offer various services and education opportunities, especially for SPM and STPM school leavers interested in furthering their studies.
'There will also be demonstrations of TVET students' skills, such as free motorcycle inspection services by polytechnic students,' he said.

[UPDATED] Malaysia to continue diplomatic efforts for Palestinian cause

PUTRAJAYA: Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said regional leaders have agreed to continue consultations and explore urgent solutions to the Gaza crisis, reaffirming a united front against Israeli aggression. Speaking after attending Aidiladha prayers at Masjid Putra, Anwar said his recent conversations with foreign counterparts — including Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Iranian President Dr Masoud Pezeshkian, and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif — had focused on the worsening situation in Gaza. "In all these discussions, we expressed a clear and united stance on Gaza — to stop the violence, reject all efforts to obstruct humanitarian aid, and to strongly condemn Israel's brutal and aggressive actions," he said. Anwar said the leaders had agreed to continue consultations and find alternative ways to resolve the crisis as soon as possible. Malaysia does not have diplomatic relations with Israel and has consistently voiced strong support for the Palestinian cause. The country has long advocated for Palestinian statehood and regularly condemns Israeli actions in the occupied territories. The United States recently vetoed a resolution calling for a ceasefire and unrestricted humanitarian access in Gaza, arguing that it would undermine ongoing diplomatic efforts. The move was heavily criticised by other members of the United Nations Security Council. It marked the 15-member body's first vote on the situation since November, when the United States — a key Israeli ally — also blocked a resolution calling for an end to the fighting. Asked whether Malaysia would raise the matter directly with the United States following its latest veto, Anwar said the government had already conveyed its position. "We have expressed our views, and they are already known to the international community. But this is not something one country can resolve on its own. "As we did with the Gulf states recently through Asean-GCC cooperation, we are rallying other nations to issue firm statements and pressure the world to stop the violence," he said. Anwar also criticised countries that publicly condemned Israel while continuing to supply it with weapons. "To condemn while selling arms to Israel is an act that clearly violates international and humanitarian law," he said. The conflict began after Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel on October 7, prompting a large-scale Israeli military offensive in Gaza. The war has left Gaza's population facing severe shortages of food, water and medicine, as humanitarian conditions continue to deteriorate.

Anwar says Malaysia supports Thai-Cambodia peace talks on June 14, offers to help de-escalate tensions

PUTRAJAYA, June 7 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today Malaysia is prepared to help Thailand and Cambodia reach a peaceful solution amid tension along the two countries' borders. Malaysia currently chairs the ten-member Association of South-east Asian Nations (Asean), and Anwar held talks last night with the prime ministers of both countries as he sought to de-escalate the dispute, which reportedly caused one fatality. 'I have spoken to both of them and they've taken steps that we support, that includes dialogue at a meeting on June 14,' he told reporters after performing the Aidiladha prayers here. 'We are ready to observe and help if necessary, but so far, both nations have agreed to talk.' Thai and Cambodian troops were reported to have engaged in a brief skirmish in Thailand's Ubon Ratchathani province and Cambodia's Preah Vihear province on May 28, which killed one Cambodian soldier. Phnom Penh said it plans to bring the matter to the International Court of Justice, while Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra yesterday expressed willingness to solve the dispute peacefully.

Malaysia supports June 14 Thailand-Cambodia border talks

PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim says Malaysia supports the measures taken by Thailand and Cambodia in addressing the border dispute involving both countries. Anwar said that Malaysia, as the Chair of ASEAN 2025, is prepared to follow the development of the negotiations between Thailand and Cambodia that is slated for June 14, in addition to providing the cooperation required in the talks. 'I spoke with both the Prime Ministers (of Thailand and Cambodia)... they have taken several measures that we support, namely the June 14 talks regarding the Thailand-Cambodia border dispute. 'I'm ready to follow and provide the cooperation (that is) required. So far, both governments have taken the stance of continuing negotiations amicably,' he told the media after performing the solat sunat Aidiladha with about 15,000 congregants at Masjid Putra here today. On May 28, Thai and Cambodian troops were involved in a brief skirmish in Thailand's Ubon Ratchathani province and Cambodia's Preah Vihear province, which reportedly resulted in the death of a Cambodian soldier. Cambodia has since announced its intention to bring the border dispute to the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Thailand, meanwhile, has reportedly reiterated its commitment to resolving the issue peacefully in accordance with international law, as well as existing agreements and memoranda with Cambodia. Following the tension, the two neighbours have agreed to discuss the issue through the Joint Boundary Commission scheduled to be held in Phnom Penh on June 14. This is expected to be a crucial step towards a peaceful long-term resolution between the two ASEAN neighbouring countries.
