Published on: Monday, June 02, 2025 Published on: Mon, Jun 02, 2025 By: Bernama Text Size: KUALA LUMPUR: His Majesty, Sultan Ibrahim ( pic ), the King of Malaysia, stressed that federal awards of orders, stars and medals are not for sale or lobbying, but are only given to individuals who are truly deserving and have rendered service to the government and the country. Sultan Ibrahim said that although the government has outlined the conditions for consideration, he will still re-evaluate each proposed candidate. 'In my view, only individuals who have served and rendered service to the government for a long time, or who have brought glory to the country, should be accepted. Indeed, not many pass the conditions every year. Although there are parties who lobby, I will not entertain them. 'The titles of Datuk and Tan Sri are not for sale. If you have a lot of money, do charity, help the poor and needy,' said His Majesty. In this regard, the King said that the successful recipients today should appreciate and be proud of the awards they have been bestowed with. Sultan Ibrahim said this at the investiture ceremony for 2025, held in conjunction with the official birthday celebration of the King at Istana Negara here today. Also present at the ceremony was Her Majesty, Raja Zarith Sofiah, the Queen of Malaysia. Present were Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, Minister of Communications Datuk Fahmi Fadzil and Cabinet Ministers. Meanwhile, the King also expressed his gratitude to the entire nation for the wishes and prayers that always accompany him in every step he takes in carrying out his duties and responsibilities as the Head of State. 'I would also like to express my gratitude to all parties who have made all the events in conjunction with my birthday celebration this year a success. 'Let us pray to the presence of Allah SWT, may this beloved country of Malaysia be blessed and remain peaceful, progressive and prosperous,' said His Majesty. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

A mother's heartache: Accepting a posthumous diploma for her late daughter
They say that the worst pain is a mother burying her child. It must also be painful for a mother to attend a graduation and accept a posthumous qualification on behalf of her late daughter. This was the painful reality for Mrs Thembisile Hlatshwayo. In an emotionally charged moment, Mrs Hlatshwayo took to the stage at the Durban University of Technology (DUT) at the weekend —not as a graduate, but as a grieving mother honouring the memory of her daughter, Sinenhlanhla Hlatshwayo. With tears streaming down her face and unimaginable courage in her heart, Mrs Hlatshwayo accepted a posthumous Diploma in Information and Communications Technology (ICT): Applications Development on behalf of her daughter, who passed away just days after completing her final exams. The graduation ceremony was held at the Olive Convention Centre in Durban.
