Bersatu proposes united opposition front

PETALING JAYA: Bersatu is proposing the formation of a united opposition front involving parties outside the government bloc to coordinate a joint stand on matters affecting the people. According to party secretary-general Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali, the proposal was put forward during the party's supreme leadership council (MPT) meeting and will be discussed at the Perikatan Nasional presidential council meeting later this weekend. He said that the party leaders have also agreed to have party president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin lead the efforts to initiate this collaboration. Azmin added that Muhyiddin had also instructed Bersatu leaders to intensify groundwork in key constituencies ahead of the Sabah state election. "The MPT is confident that the people of Sabah are receptive to and support the struggle of Bersatu and Perikatan Nasional," he said in a statement on Tuesday (July 15). The council also confirmed the party's annual general assembly will take place on Sept 6–7 in Shah Alam, Selangor, with a ninth-anniversary dinner to be held on the final night, expected to host over 2,000 guests. Azmin said the council had also approved the launch of the Infaq Bersatu fundraising programme, inviting contributions from the public to support its pro-rakyat agenda. Additionally, he said that Bersatu would mobilise its leaders and supporters for the "Himpunan Turun Anwar" rally at Dataran Merdeka on July 26, scheduled to begin at 2pm. "This peaceful gathering aims to defend the Constitution and the rule of law, and to stand against oppression," said Azmin.

#NST180years: A tradition of trust and a vision for the future

THE New Straits Times has been a faithful chronicler of Malaysia's unfolding story since 1845. From ink-stained broadsheets to today's digital platforms, we are the nation's trusted witness, recording every pivotal moment with care and conviction. As the Fourth Estate, the NST carries a responsibility that goes beyond daily headlines. We uphold the highest standards of journalism, integrity, accountability and an unyielding commitment to the truth. In a media landscape clouded by noise and misinformation, the NST has stood as a benchmark of credibility, telling every story with clarity and balance. Today, this commitment continues as we evolve. The NST is harnessing the power of digital technology, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things. Our AI-powered newsroom delivers real-time updates, adding layers to each story as they develop. Our investigative team pursues stories that directly impact you. Our multimedia storytelling brings the news to life in ways our founders never imagined. By embracing these innovations, we give readers faster access to accurate information, interactive content and the tools to navigate an increasingly complex world. The NST is not just adapting to change, it is shaping it. We are pushing boundaries to deliver journalism that goes beyond the surface. From analysis to in-depth features and incisive commentary, we examine every issue from multiple perspectives. In 2014 and 2015, the NST broke the 30-year dominance of Bahasa Malaysia newspapers by winning the prestigious Kajai Award, back to back. Securing Malaysia's top journalism honour two years in a row stands as a testament to our commitment to investigative excellence and impactful reporting. The NST continues to earn international recognition, with top awards from the Society of Publishers in Asia (SOPA) and the World Association of News Publishers (WAN-IFRA), for its excellence in feature writing and news reporting. Even as news consumption evolves, from print to digital, social media and television, our core values remain the same. The New Straits Times will always stand for truth, integrity and objectivity. Formats may shift and technology will advance, but our purpose endures: to deliver journalism worthy of Malaysia's past, present and future. In our relentless pursuit to innovate, the NST is launching "Heard the News?", an initiative to help transform Malaysians into an enlightened, knowledge-based society. Its goals are clear: to empower citizens to be better informed, strengthen their command of English and support the government's aspiration to make Malaysians more competitive globally. It is a natural extension of our nation-building mission, one we have proudly embraced for 180 years. We stand today on the shoulders of giants, generations of reporters, editors and visionaries who paved the way. They set a standard of excellence that guides us to this day, reminding today's journalists, and those who will inherit their mantle of our shared responsibility, to uphold the principles they fought so hard to defend. This isn't just our history, it's yours. And for the next 180 years, we will continue writing it together.

#NST180years: Marking a milestone - A legacy of 180 years, built by many

I WOULD like to extend my deepest gratitude and warmest congratulations to all employees, past and present, on the occasion of the New Straits Times' 180th anniversary. One hundred and eighty years is indeed a remarkable milestone by any measure — one that only a few organisations worldwide can truly claim. The NST's story is inextricably woven into Malaysia's rich and colourful tapestry. Today, both the nation and this newspaper move forward with resilience and confidence, meeting daunting challenges in an increasingly complex world. Despite being 180 years old, the NST remains a cornerstone and bedrock of the country's media landscape. We have embraced the social media age, dedicating more focus and resources to our digital platforms to deliver the diverse content Malaysians, especially the younger generation, seek. The NST's achievements over the years are the result of the dedication, sacrifice and teamwork of countless professionals who poured their energy and passion into its pages. Today, let us honour all those who came before us, each playing their part in shaping the NST into the respected institution and trusted name it is today. To those currently carrying the mantle, your hard work, perseverance and dedication have ensured that the NST — both digital and print — remains the source of reference for Malaysians from all walks of life, including leaders, businesspeople and students. The NST continues to be their trusted destination for news, knowledge and a place to hone their language skills. On this historic and momentous occasion of the NST's 180th anniversary, let us all renew our commitment to do our best to ensure the flame of excellence continues to burn brighter than ever. Thank you.
