PKR divisional polls: Outcome of objections to be known next week
Dr Zaliha, who is also Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories), said the committee is currently awaiting reports before making a final decision.
'It will take time as we need to thoroughly review all objections and complaints before coming to a conclusion.
'There are several objections involving divisional results and we will announce the outcome next week,' she told reporters after the launch of the Warisan KL: Warisan Ibu Kota Malaysia MADANI project by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, here today.
Yesterday, Dr Zaliha said any objections and appeals submitted by PKR leaders over the divisional-level election results would be assessed by the Complaints Committee and the Appeals Committee before further action is taken.
She said the Complaints Committee, chaired by Datuk Ahmad Kassim, will evaluate all objections and complaints, while the Appeals Committee, chaired by Mohd Khuzzan Abu Bakar, will handle appeals.
Among those who have filed formal objections with the JPP is Deputy Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation, Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir, following his defeat in the contest for the Johor Bahru division chief post.
Other leaders who have taken similar steps include PKR communications director Lee Chean Chung (Petaling Jaya), deputy information chief Chua Wei Kiat (Selayang), and Sungai Siput MP Kesavan Subramaniam, who has lodged an official appeal with the JPP after narrowly losing in the Sungai Siput division.

Malaysia uses AI to boost Quran appreciation among youth
KUALA LUMPUR: The government is intensifying efforts to foster Quran appreciation among younger generations by integrating modern technology, including artificial intelligence (AI). Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs), announced this during the closing ceremony of the 65th International Quran Recitation and Memorisation Assembly (MTHQA). Mohd Na'im emphasised the importance of nurturing a MADANI generation deeply connected to the Quran. He highlighted the role of religious agencies in advancing Quranic education. Darul Quran, under the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM), was recognised as a leading centre for professional tahfiz education. The institution has produced thousands of skilled huffaz dedicated to serving the nation and the Muslim community. The minister also introduced the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) initiative for tahfiz students. This programme aims to equip huffaz with technical, entrepreneurial, and professional skills alongside Quran memorisation. Mohd Na'im stated that the MTHQA, themed 'Membangun Ummah MADANI', reflects the government's commitment to uplifting the ummah. He expressed hope that the event, first held in 1961, would remain a unifying platform for Muslims worldwide. The 65th MTHQA saw participation from 71 contestants representing 49 countries. Winners in the recitation and memorisation categories each received RM40,000, jewellery from YAPEIM, and additional prizes. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and other dignitaries attended the ceremony, reinforcing national support for Quranic initiatives. – Bernama

PM: Take action and protect no one
Planting progress: Anwar visiting a padi-planting project under Kemubu Agricultural Development Authority at Desa Gemalai Baruh Padi Alami in Mulong, Kelantan. With him are Mentri Besar Datuk Mohd Nassuruddin Daud (in green) and other officials. — Bernama Anwar calls for unbiased probe into student's death KOTA BARU: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has given his assurance that the death of Form One student Zara Qairina Mahathir will be investigated transparently without protecting anyone. He said the case should not be taken lightly, especially as various allegations have emerged, including that the victim had fallen, been pushed or bullied. 'Our child in Sabah has died; some say she fell, some say she was pushed, some say it was due to bullying. We do not take this lightly, and we do not want it to be turned into political fodder. 'Our instructions are clear – no compromise, regardless of whose child it is, whether the child of a minister or anyone else, I don't care,' he said at the Rancakkan Madani Kelantan Programme at USM Health Campus, Kubang Kerian, here yesterday. The Prime Minister said he had contacted Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail, Attorney General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar and Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail to ensure the investigation is carried out fairly, Bernama reported. 'I asked whether there were any mistakes in the investigation into Zara Qairina's case. If there were, take action. 'This is a death. Regardless of whether it is the child of the poor or the rich, in the mountains, on land or at sea, we will pay attention because the investigation must be conducted transparently. 'I am saddened because she could have been my child or grandchild,' said Anwar. 'Due to suspicions, the Attorney General's Chambers has ordered the exhumation of the body for a second post-mortem.' Anwar said Bukit Aman CID director Comm Datuk M. Kumar has also been instructed to go to Sabah to monitor the investigation to prevent any perception that certain parties are being protected. 'This is the Madani government; we will not protect murderers,' he added. On a separate matter, Anwar urged pondok school teachers in the country to master information technology and AI to meet the challenges of the digital era. He said failure to grasp the latest technologies could cause the traditional religious institution to be overwhelmed by 'a new wave of attacks' of the mind that have replaced past forms of colonisation. 'If we do not master it, others will, and our children will adopt AI based on the frameworks of the United States or France. 'So, how do we change the approach to this AI framework? It is by ensuring our children have resilience, an understanding of Islam, intelligence and wisdom in knowing what they want to achieve,' he said in his speech at the opening of the Madani Ijtimak (Assembly) of Kelantan Islamic Scholars and Pondok Teachers 2025 at Universiti Teknologi Mara Machang campus here. Anwar also said it was time to rebuild the pondok institution as a stronghold of Islamic history to counter secular influences. 'Last month, I called in officials from the Finance Ministry to find a way to rebuild pondok (schools) as strongholds. Only then will Madani be realised in its true sense,' he added. Earlier, Anwar presented a contribution totalling RM1.03mil to representatives of pondok schools attending the National Umara'-Ulama Pondok Dialogue 2025. Previously, Anwar was quoted as saying that the government would restore and elevate the country's pondok institution so that it can remain a bulwark for safeguarding the faith, morals, and character of the Muslim ummah in line with current needs. He stated that this initiative involves collaboration between the Finance Ministry and the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia to ensure that religious and pondok schools can be upgraded with new facilities and technology.

Akmal wishes Zafrul luck after acceptance into PKR, says 'warning given'
Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh today launched a thinly veiled attack on PKR and its newest recruit, Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz, following the latter's announcement of his PKR membership. In a Facebook post, Akmal (above) sardonically thanked PKR for 'showing us Umno grassroots the true meaning of this unity government', while asserting that a 'warning' was already given with regard to Zafrul's defection from Umno to PKR.
