Fuziah, when met, said the programme is part of a nationwide tour aimed at strengthening party solidarity and reuniting grassroots leadership across the country.

'We want to bring everyone back together, because there's a lot of work to be done. We are not fighting enemies—we are having disputes among siblings. Therefore, unity and togetherness are crucial to move the party forward,' she said.
On another note, Fuziah said the PKR president also stressed that there is no issue of membership suspension involving nine of its Members of Parliament.
She said the Prime Minister explained that the matter does not arise as all the MPs were merely voicing their views on people's issues.

Anwar extends condolences over plane crash in Russia's far east
Photo courtesy of Russian Investigative Committee via Facebook KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has extended condolences to the families of those affected by the plane crash in Russia's Far East on Thursday (July 24). "I was saddened to learn of the plane crash in Russia's Far East. My thoughts are with the families who have lost their loved ones. "In times like this, we are reminded of how fragile life is, and how connected we all are, across distance and borders. It also reminds us that our shared humanity matters more than geopolitics," he said in a Facebook post, Thursday. Anwar added that Malaysia conveys its condolences to the Russian people and stands in quiet solidarity with all who mourn. Earlier reports stated that the AN-24 aircraft, which went down in Russia's Amur Region, caught fire during its descent. No survivors were observed during an aerial survey of the crash site. The aircraft was carrying 46 passengers including two children and six crew members. - Bernama

Turun Anwar rally shows opposition lacks ideas, says Kamil Munim
KUALA LUMPUR: The upcoming 'Turun Anwar' rally reflects Perikatan Nasional's (PN) failure to present viable policy alternatives amid claims of economic mismanagement, according to Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim, political secretary to the finance minister. He dismissed opposition criticisms as baseless, citing improving economic indicators. 'Growth, inflation, unemployment rates, investment volumes are being demonised because of hatred and greed,' Kamil stated in a post on X. He argued that PN's focus on protests rather than policy proposals highlights their political shortcomings. Kamil noted that while the government works on national development, the opposition has yet to propose a credible prime ministerial candidate. 'This is clear evidence of how they have failed to argue and propose alternatives to the various good policies that we have translated,' he said. Despite the criticism, Kamil affirmed the government's commitment to peaceful assembly, stating that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has ensured no intimidation by authorities. However, he questioned the rally's purpose, saying, 'Demonstrating just to hate Anwar Ibrahim physically shows how weak, shallow and inept their politics are.' - Bernama

Construction of second batch of LMS vessels on schedule, says Defence Minister
Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled (centre) at the Istanbul Shipyard to survey the construction of the second batch of three Littoral Mission Ships (LMS) by Turkish defence firm Savunma Teknolojileri Muhendislik (STM). - Photo: Bernama ISTANBUL: The construction of the second batch of three Littoral Mission Ships (LMS) by Turkish defence firm Savunma Teknolojileri Muhendislik (STM) at the Istanbul Shipyard is proceeding according to schedule, says Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin. The Defence Minister said the first LMS is expected to be launched next April, followed by the second in June 2026 and the third in August 2026. "The construction of the second batch of LMS marks the first procurement following the signing of the government-to-government (G2G) memorandum of understanding (MOU) for defence acquisitions during my official maiden visit to Turkiye in June last year. "The progress of this construction is definitely important because it serves as the benchmark for the new procurement approach by the government," he told reporters after surveying the ship construction at the Istanbul Shipyard here on Thursday (July 24). He was accompanied by Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) chief Admiral Tan Sri Zulhelmy Ithnain and a delegation from the Defence Ministry. He said that after the vessels are launched into the water, they will enter a critical phase involving integrating various systems to be used on board, before Malaysia takes full delivery of the three ships by the end of 2027. He added that the procurement of the three LMS vessels will be followed by an Industrial Collaboration Programme (ICP), which has the potential to significantly impact the local defence industry, including through technology transfer that will be finalised by the end of this year. He said that Turkiye, before becoming a producer of defence products, also underwent a process of technology transfer from other countries before successfully developing its defence industry. "Malaysia has the same aspiration. Hopefully, the good bilateral relations and strategic collaboration between Malaysia and Turkiye can help propel the local defence industry, and at the same time, strengthen national sovereignty," he said. The second batch of LMS vessels for the Navy is based on the Ada-class corvette design developed by STM, which is equipped for multiple roles. Each of the ships will also be armed with ATMACA surface-to-surface missiles and air defence systems. Earlier, Mohamed Khaled attended the International Defence Industry Fair (IDEF) 2025, which is one of the world's prestigious defence exhibitions, organised by Turkiye's Ministry of National Defence (MOND) at the Istanbul Expo Centre. - Bernama
