More than 4,600 hardcore poor families uplifted
Tunku Ismail tells the State Legislative Assembly at Bangunan Sultan Ismail, Kota Iskandar, that state must not overlook the needs of Johor citizens as it moves towards becoming a developed state. JOHOR is getting closer to its goal of reducing poverty after it successfully uplifted more than 4,600 hardcore poor families. Johor Regent Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim said this included 234 households that were uplifted with the help of the state government in the first four months of this year. 'I have been informed that the state government assisted 4,378 heads of hardcore poor households during the first phase last year.' He said those households were no longer classified as hardcore poor as of July 31, 2024. According to him, as of April 29, another 234 households were moved out from that category, under the second phase. Tunku Ismail said this when officiating the fourth term of the 15th Johor State Legislative Assembly at Bangunan Sultan Ismail, Kota Iskandar. The Regent said he was pleased with the state government's commitment to safeguarding the people's welfare. 'I would like to express my appreciation to the state government for implementing various initiatives in collaboration with the Federal Government to make the elimination of hardcore poverty in Johor a reality. 'This commitment clearly reflects the concern and determination of the Johor government in safeguarding the welfare of its people, especially those in need.' He also said that the state must not overlook the needs of Johor citizens as it moved towards becoming a developed state. 'I hope priority will be given to the people of Johor when it comes to job opportunities and that greater efforts will be made to create more employment, especially high-paying jobs. 'Johor's economic growth must benefit all its people. 'The income levels of Johor citizens should also rise accordingly to help cope with the increasing cost of living,' he said. On a separate matter, Tunku Ismail said the Johor royal family hoped that all Johor citizens would have access to affordable homes. 'Housing for the people of Johor has always been a priority of the Johor royal family. 'Through the Johor Affordable Housing Scheme (RMMJ), every Johor citizen should be able to own a home without shouldering a burden that is too heavy to bear. 'A total of 21,000 units of RMMJ were completed as of last March, which is 70% of the target of 30,000 units by 2026. Of that number, 16,000 units have been occupied so far,' he said. In April, Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi said the state government planned to build 50,000 more affordable homes by 2029, after delivering 16,000 units in the past three years.

TMJ slams river polluters, cites burden on public funds
ISKANDAR PUTERI: The Regent of Johor, His Royal Highness Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, has expressed disappointment over the irresponsible actions of individuals who recently dumped rubbish into rivers in the state. Tunku Ismail said that such behaviour burdens the state government, which has to spend public funds on cleaning efforts. Stricter laws should be enforced against individuals or parties who continue to indiscriminately dispose of rubbish in rivers or any other location within the state, he said. "I am disheartened to hear and witness that there are still irresponsible parties disposing of waste into rivers recently. "Public funds used for river cleaning should instead be utilised for development purposes. "Such incidents should not occur, and I urge the Johor government and relevant authorities to hold discussions and implement harsh penalties against those who continue to carelessly dispose of rubbish into rivers or elsewhere," he said. Tunku Ismail made the remarks during the opening of the Fourth Session of the 15th Johor State Legislative Assembly at Bangunan Sultan Ismail today. Also present was the Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi. Earlier, it was reported that a man was caught red-handed on a motorist's dashcam discarding rubbish into a river in Taman Sri Plentong, Masai, on May 5 at about 6.30pm. The motorist confronted the man and also lodged a police report. A company responsible for throwing away rubbish into and by the river in Taman Sri Plentong, Masai, was fined RM1,000 last week, but the penalty was criticised by social media users who felt it was too lenient given the severity of the offence. Meanwhile, Tunku Ismail urged tourism operators in the state to maintain cleanliness and avoid greed-driven actions that could harm the tourism ecosystem. He also advised tourism operators to work with the state government to contribute ideas and effort in advancing Johor's tourism sector. "Please always maintain cleanliness and avoid greed, which can damage the ecosystem of tourist sites. "Every plan should be systematic and take all aspects into account to ensure the preservation and value of natural beauty," he said. Tunku Ismail said that Johor is fortunate to possess beautiful natural landscapes and historic heritage buildings capable of attracting tourists from around the world. Therefore, he urged the Johor government to upgrade existing tourism infrastructure. "This matter requires the full attention of the state government to allocate resources for upgrading infrastructure and promoting tourism," he said.

Registration open for 2025 Boston Walk for Epilepsy at Fenway Park
BOSTON (WWLP) – Registration is now open for the 2025 Boston Walk for Epilepsy, the largest epilepsy-focused event in the Northeast, scheduled to take place at Fenway Park on Sunday, June 1. Organized by the Epilepsy Foundation New England (EFNE), the annual walk draws thousands of supporters from across New England. Hundreds participate in 15th annual Western Mass Mother's Day Half Marathon Proceeds from the event will fund a wide range of programs that support individuals living with epilepsy, including support groups, financial aid, scholarships, youth camps, educational webinars, seizure first-aid training, and research grants. 'This event provides a real, tangible impact on the lives of the 100,000 people across New England living with epilepsy,' said David Searles, EFNE's Vice President of Development. 'This event serves as a sort of family reunion for the epilepsy community, with many participants meeting up year after year to share their successes and struggles from the past year.' Participants will follow a short walking route through the Fenway neighborhood before returning to the iconic ballpark for lunch in center field. EFNE's mascot, Hope the Lion, will be on hand to cheer walkers on as they complete the course. After the walk, attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy lunch while taking in views of one of baseball's most storied stadiums. According to organizers, the event serves as a yearly gathering point for individuals and families affected by epilepsy. Epilepsy affects approximately one in 26 people during their lifetime. For nearly one-third of those living with the condition, treatment remains ineffective. Events like the Boston Walk for Epilepsy aim to raise both awareness and critical funding to close that gap. The event is open to individuals, families, and teams of all sizes. For more information on the walk of EFNE's program, visit WWLP-22News, an NBC affiliate, began broadcasting in March 1953 to provide local news, network, syndicated, and local programming to western Massachusetts.

Ex-mayor Tiwari to represent city at finance commission meeting
Nagpur: Former mayor Dayashankar Tiwari will represent Nagpur city at the 16th Finance Commission 's crucial meeting scheduled for May 8 at Sahyadri, Mumbai. The meeting, chaired by Arvind Panagariya, will deliberate on fiscal allocations for the next five years starting FY 2026-27. Tiwari is one of four ex-mayors chosen to represent their cities and urban local bodies after a video conference conducted by the urban development department's principal secretary on Friday. The virtual meet screened six former mayors from key Maharashtra cities — Nagpur, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, Nashik, Pune, and Pimpri-Chinchwad. Apart from urban leaders, 19 representatives from rural bodies and members of commerce and industry associations also took part. Nagpur's inclusion in the final panel comes amid a funding drought under the 15th Finance Commission. A senior official from Nagpur Municipal Corporation 's (NMC) finance and accounts department confirmed that the city did not receive a single rupee under the 15th Finance Commission during the last three financial years. "This has severely impacted growth. Many infrastructure and development projects were stalled due to lack of funds," the official said. Tiwari is expected to strongly raise the issue before the commission and justify why Nagpur requires financial assistance. He will also present a detailed list of proposals on behalf of the NMC. "Before 2022, we received almost Rs200 crore under the 15th Finance Commission. But the last three years saw complete neglect," the official added. The commission's terms of reference also include recommending measures to strengthen the Consolidated Funds of states for supporting panchayats and municipalities and reviewing disaster management funding. The govt has deliberately kept the scope flexible, allowing the commission room to make broader suggestions within constitutional limits. Tiwari, the last elected mayor before the NMC's general body was dissolved in March 2022, has been invited based on his administrative experience.
