MERCY Malaysia's Fifth Medical Team Returns From Gaza Humanitarian Mission
KUALA LUMPUR, May 5 (Bernama) -- MERCY Malaysia's fifth Specialised Care Team (SCT 5) has returned safely from Gaza after successfully completing a one-month humanitarian mission from March 27 to April 26. The team was deployed under the coordination of the World Health Organization's Emergency Medical Teams Coordination Cell (WHO EMTCC), in response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region. President of MERCY Malaysia, Datuk Dr Ahmad Faizal Mohd Perdaus said the mission was part of the organisation's continuous efforts to provide impartial and needs-based humanitarian assistance, especially in conflict zones. 'The return of SCT 5 marks not only the successful conclusion of a vital mission, but also reaffirms our commitment to humanitarian action grounded in humanity and impartiality. 'In Gaza, the scale of need remains staggering. We call on all relevant authorities to facilitate unhindered access to humanitarian assistance and to uphold the protection of civilians and humanitarian personnel, in accordance with international humanitarian law,' he said during a press conference held at MERCY Malaysia's headquarters here today. Dr Ahmad Faizal said the team provided critical medical care at several severely impacted facilities in Gaza, including the Al-Shifaa Hospital, Al-Nasser Hospital and Kuwait Specialty Hospital. Working alongside local health personnel, they treated hundreds of patients suffering from blast injuries, fractures, burns and infections stemming from overcrowded shelters and poor access to clean water. He added that the mission was carried out in close collaboration with the Palestinian Ministry of Health, WHO EMTCC and other local partners, ensuring medical relief was aligned with broader humanitarian priorities and long-term recovery efforts. 'The SCT 5 was initially deployed in early recovery mode, but due to the breakdown of the ceasefire, the mission had to quickly shift into emergency response mode,' said Dr Ahmad Faizal who also voiced concern over the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza, highlighting that for the past 60 days including the month of Ramadan and Syawal—no aid has been allowed to enter Gaza due to an ongoing blockade.

SD to remove Peja baseless, attempt to divide Perak Bersatu, says Kader Maideen
PETALING JAYA: Claims that there is a statutory declaration (SD) calling for the replacement of the Perak chairman of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu), Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu, are baseless. The Taiping Bersatu division chief, Kader Maideen Hussain, said that it is not part of Bersatu's culture to use SDs for the appointment of state leadership body chiefs. He stated that the report claiming SDs exist from Perak Bersatu division chiefs to replace the current chairman is not true. 'The appointment of the chief is entirely the prerogative of Bersatu president, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, and any decision or appointment made by the President is fully supported without any doubt. 'The dissemination of false and baseless news from unnamed sources is deeply regrettable, and the motives of the news portal in question are questionable. We have no time for malicious attempts to divide unity within Perak Bersatu,' he said in a statement on Wednesday (April 30), reported by Malay daily, Sinar Harian. Kader Maideen added that Ahmad Faizal's leadership as Perak Bersatu chairman and Perak Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman has the full mandate from Muhyiddin, who is also the national chairman of PN. On Tuesday (April 29), a news portal claimed that 16 out of 24 Perak Bersatu division chiefs had signed an SD requesting a review or replacement of Ahmad Faizal's position as state chairman. The action reportedly stemmed from dissatisfaction over how Ahmad Faizal handled the request to switch seating arrangements between two Bersatu assemblymen — Datuk Zainol Fadzi Paharudin and Nadziruddin Mohamed Bandi — in the State Assembly. However, speaking to the daily, Ahmad Faizal chose not to comment on the alleged existence of the SD calling for his replacement. He took this approach, citing that the report merely quoted unnamed sources.

PN: Police report lodged against Perak Umno Facebook admin
PETALING JAYA: A police report has been lodged against the administrator of Perak Umno's Facebook page for allegedly slandering former Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu. According to a Facebook post by Perikatan Nasional, the report was filed by Ahmad Faizal's team, who claimed that Perak Umno insinuated that the Bersatu vice president had approved 103 pigsties in the state during his tenure as mentri besar. The allegation against Ahmad Faizal was reportedly made on Facebook. Ahmad Faizal served as Perak mentri besar from 2018 to 2021. "Although the statement was said to have been withdrawn from the page, no public apology or correction was made. It is only right to lodge a police report to impede any political slander which was made to deny any failure (in resolving) the people's issues for years," the statement read.
