DPMs Zahid, Fadillah extend Raya greetings, encourage Malaysians to uphold Aidiladha's values of sacrifice (VIDEO)
KUALA LUMPUR, June 7 — The celebration of Hari Raya Aidiladha is a great symbol that teaches the meaning of obedience, sacrifice and sincerity to the commands of Allah SWT, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. In a Facebook post, Ahmad Zahid said the celebration highlights the story of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and his son, Prophet Ismail (AS), two individuals who are symbols of unwavering obedience and sacrifice to Allah SWT. 'May the spirit of sacrifice continue to be a guiding principle in every aspect of our struggle, whether in the family, society and also in developing this beloved country,' he said. Ahmad Zahid, who is also the Minister of Rural and Regional Development, prayed that Aidiladha would bring peace and blessings to all Malaysians, especially those facing various life challenges. 'To the pilgrims who are currently in the Holy Land, we pray that your worship will be accepted by Allah SWT and that you will return as accepted haji and hajah,' he said. Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said the story of the sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) is not just history, but rather a guideline for life that teaches that every sincere struggle will surely receive great rewards from Allah SWT. He said Aidiladha should be an occasion to express solidarity and love among fellow human beings, especially for those in need, including the poor, apart from reflecting the spirit of togetherness and mercy demanded by Islam. 'May all our worship, hajj, sacrifice and other practices be accepted and blessed by Allah SWT. Indeed, no sacrifice is small in His sight if done with sincere intentions. Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha to all Muslims,' he said in a Facebook post. Muslims in Malaysia will celebrate Aidiladha tomorrow. — Bernama

MCMC clarifies mobile phone data collection for national statistics, says no identifiable user information involved
KUALA LUMPUR, June 7 — The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has clarified its collection of mobile phone data (MPD) from Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), assuring that no Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is accessed, processed, or disclosed. The clarification comes amid recent media reports regarding the matter. In a statement today, MCMC said MPD was used strictly for the generation of official statistics to support evidence-based policymaking in two key domains, namely the ICT Sector and the Tourism Sector. For the ICT Sector, MPD helps produce granular statistics, such as the number of active mobile broadband subscriptions and penetration rates at the state, district, mukim, parliamentary constituency, state legislative assembly (DUN), and local authority levels. For the Tourism Sector, it generates indicators such as the number of visitors and domestic tourism trips. 'The MPD data requested from MNOs is anonymised and contains no PII. 'In addition, MNOs are given the option to either process the MPD data within their own secure environment and submit the required anonymised and aggregated output to MCMC, or, for MNOs without in-house processing capabilities, to submit the anonymised data to MCMC for processing. 'In both cases, no individual subscriber can be identified through the data collected,' it said. MCMC further clarified that the use of MPD as a new source of national statistics was a strategic direction set by the government to strengthen the quality and timeliness of statistical outputs for policy and planning purposes. Implementation of MPD is through collaboration with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the UN Committee of Experts on Big Data and Data Science, it added. Over the past two years, MCMC said extensive engagement with all MNOs had been carried out to ensure mutual understanding of the data requirements, processes, and privacy safeguards. These included the MPD National Workshop held from Sept 2 to 5, 2024, attended by representatives from the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM), International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Ministry of Communications, Ministry of Tourism, Art and Culture, and MNOs (CelcomDigi, Maxis, TM Tech, U Mobile, and YTL). 'This initiative aligns with international best practices. It mirrors similar projects already implemented in countries such as Indonesia and Brazil, where anonymised telecommunications data is used to enhance national statistics while fully safeguarding user privacy,' it said. — Bernama
