Aidiladha reinforces values of sacrifice, sincerity, says Saifuddin
KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said Aidiladha underscores the spiritual essence of Islam, while reinforcing the values of sacrifice, sincerity and submission to Allah's will.
The Home Minister expressed hope that this Aidiladha would deepen faith, strengthen love, and help build a more united, peaceful, and prosperous Malaysian society.
"May every sacrifice we make, big or small, be a means to draw closer to His pleasure. For those returning to their hometowns for the celebration, please drive carefully and patiently. Cherish this festive time with your loved ones to foster unity and strengthen bonds of kinship,' he said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
He also invited fellow Malaysians who do not celebrate Aidiladha to embrace the spirit of unity in diversity by visiting and connecting with one another, emphasising that Aidiladha is not only a celebration of sacrifice for Muslims, but also a reflection of compassion and togetherness for all Malaysians.
"The security and harmony of our nation is not the responsibility of one group alone, but a shared duty for all,' he said.
Meanwhile, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said, in a post on the same social media platform, said that Aidiladha serves as a powerful reminder of the values of sacrifice, sincerity, and obedience to Allah SWT.
"May this Aidiladha nourish the spirit of sacrifice and strengthen the bonds of brotherhood among all people. Let us celebrate with gratitude and humility,' she said.
Also extending their Aidiladha greetings on their respective social media accounts were Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming; Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi; Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu, and Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan.

Sabah MTUC urges immediate re-election and council meeting to restore leadership
KOTA KINABALU (June 7): The Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) Sabah has called for an expedited re-election process to appoint new officers and restore effective leadership within the organization. Its chairman, Mohd Airy Arin, emphasized the urgent need for a general council meeting to ratify the election process, enabling MTUC to resume its vital role in representing Malaysian workers. MTUC is currently overseen by a special joint committee (JBK), appointed by the High Court on February 21, with a specific mandate to conduct leadership re-elections within 90 days — originally ending on May 22 and later extended until August. Mohd Airy noted that the JBK had issued a statement protesting the government's refusal to recognize MTUC delegates for participation in the International Labour Organization Conference (ILC) in Geneva, Switzerland. He recalled that the High Court's consent order on February 21 required the JBK to hold a Special Delegates Conference (SDC) to elect new leadership. However, the JBK has so far failed to meet this requirement. 'To date, there are still no officers capable of fulfilling the duties of MTUC,' he said in a statement. Highlighting the significance of the ILC as a tripartite platform involving governments, employers and workers, Mohd Airy stressed that the JBK lacks the mandate to nominate representatives on behalf of MTUC. 'Therefore, MTUC Sabah is urging the JBK to concentrate solely on conducting the re-election process and to convene a general council meeting immediately to formalize and ratify the process,' he added.
