Global Unity Key To Ending Gaza Suffering
By Ahmad Idzwan Arzmi and Suraidah Roslan KUALA LUMPUR, July 23 (Bernama) -- Iran's Ambassador to Malaysia, Valiollah Mohammadi Nasrabadi, has called for united global action - by both Muslim and non-Muslim nations - to pressure Israel into ending its blockade of Gaza as the humanitarian crisis in the besieged enclave escalates to a devastating scale. Raising the alarm over the worsening situation in Gaza, Valiollah said collective international action is needed to de-escalate tensions and address the crisis as the population faces severe starvation due to Israel's continued blockade of aid access. bootstrap slideshow 'The only way forward is unity. Muslim and non-Muslim countries must come together and take collective action against Israel's criminal aggression in support of the Palestinian people,' he said in an interview with Bernama in Malaysia's capital on Wednesday. He said the ongoing crisis requires collective and coordinated efforts from all countries, regardless of religious or geopolitical alignment, to pressure Israel to open the border and allow immediate humanitarian aid. 'We believe that all nations, especially Muslim and developing countries, must stand united and take concrete steps,' he said. On Iran's nuclear programme, Valiollah reaffirmed the country's long-standing commitment to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and stressed its firm opposition to nuclear weapons. He said Iran's nuclear activities are strictly for peaceful purposes, including in the fields of energy, medicine and agriculture. 'Iran was one of the founders of the NPT and has always emphasised that countries in the Middle East must remain a nuclear weapons-free zone and stay united for peaceful purposes.

A-GC warns Malaysia civil servants on rally participation
KUALA LUMPUR: Civil servants who participate in the rally on July 26 may face disciplinary action for breaching civil service regulations, the Attorney-General's Chambers (A-GC) said. In a statement today, the AGC stressed that civil servants are bound by the pledge outlined in the Public Officers (Appointment, Promotion and Termination of Service) Regulations 2012, as well as the Public Officers (Conduct and Discipline) Regulations 1993. Both impose restrictions on conduct that may be deemed detrimental to the government's image. "Under these regulations, every civil servant must observe loyalty to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the nation and the government. "They must not act in a way that tarnishes the public service or make statements that could embarrass or discredit the government," the statement read. The AGC said that failure to adhere to the service pledge, government circulars or directives, such as the recent reminder from Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar, could subject officers to disciplinary action. It acknowledged that the Federal Constitution, under Article 10(1)(a) and (b), guarantees citizens the right to free speech and peaceful assembly. However, the A-GC reminded that such rights are not absolute. "Public assemblies must still comply with existing laws, including any directives from authorities such as the chief secretary. "Civil servants, in particular, are expected to uphold the rules and integrity of the public service at all times," it said. The A-GC's statement comes in response to Shamsul Azri's earlier statement cautioning civil servants against taking part in the rally organised by opposition groups.
