Kedah Sultan: Reject bullying, embrace culture of love and respect
ALOR STAR: The Sultan of Kedah, Al Aminul Karim Sultan Sallehuddin Sultan Badlishah, has called on students to embrace a culture of love and respect while rejecting bullying in any form, whether mental or physical. His Royal Highness said students must strive to become knowledgeable, skilful, and ready to serve religion, race, and nation. "Let us build a culture of compassion and respect, while rejecting all forms of immoral practices such as bullying, whether physical or emotional, that bring harm and distress to others. "May all students continue to excel with noble character in the future," he said in his speech at the 2025 Haflu Takrim Al Mutafawwiqin Ceremony of the Kedah Maktab Mahmud Board today. Sultan Sallehuddin said education is not solely the duty of teachers and schools. "Your (parents') role is vital in shaping a generation of quality and good character. "Parents, families, society, and institutions alike must share responsibility in supporting teachers and schools in fulfilling their duties. "Imam Al-Ghazali once said, 'Faith and deeds originate from knowledge. Knowledge is acquired through learning. Faith without deeds is meaningless, and deeds without sincerity have no value'." Therefore, continue your pursuit of knowledge, not only in schools but throughout life, he said.

Expectations surpassed as 33 exhibitors set for inaugural Mybos '25 in Langkawi
LANGKAWI: More than 33 exhibitors from within and outside the country will take part in the inaugural Malaysia International Boat Show 2025 (Mybos '25). The number, which includes luxury yacht, marine technology and nautical tourism investment companies, surpasses the organisers' initial expectations. The four-day event is scheduled to run from May 21 to 24 at the Royal Langkawi Yacht Club (RLYC), and will be officially launched by the Sultan of Kedah, Al Aminul Karim Sultan Sallehuddin Sultan Badlishah. The event's organising company chairman Datuk Mohammed Radzi Manan said the early response to the showcase had been overwhelming and far beyond expectations. "This is the first event of its kind in Malaysia and it reflects Langkawi's growing recognition as a major stopover for international sailors. The economic potential is enormous. "Mybos '25 is expected to attract thousands of local and international visitors, further cementing Langkawi's status as a premier yachting tourism hub in the region," he said in a statement today. Radzi said the exhibitors taking part in the show will include government agencies, private sector players and international institutions. The event will feature a combination of industry showcases, high-level forums and strategic networking sessions. "In addition to highlighting the beauty and potential of Malaysia's maritime sector, Mybos '25 will also host several key side events, including the Malaysia Yachting Conference on May 23 and the launch of the Malaysia Yacht Code 2025 Guideline by the Marine Department," he said. He added that among the highlights will be the showcase of Motoryacht MYA, a 110m-long luxury vessel registered under the Malaysian flag. "The yacht is currently anchored off the exhibition site to undergo audits and official checks related to its registration," he added. The debut event is jointly organised by Mybos Event Sdn Bhd and Sail Malaysia, with support from the Langkawi Development Authority, the Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry and the Transport Ministry.
