PM: Conference of Rulers expected to announce new Chief Justice today
PUTRAJAYA: The Conference of Rulers is expected to decide and announce the appointment of the new Chief Justice today, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said yesterday. He also confirmed having met with the Conference of Rulers on Tuesday morning. "I had a lengthy discussion with the Conference of Rulers, and it is best to let them decide. God willing, there will be a clear announcement tomorrow (today) that will dispel all negative perceptions," he said during his keynote address at Malaysia's International Conference on Governance and Integrity 2025, here, yesterday. The prime minister also acknowledged public concern over the delay in appointing the chief justice and the negative perceptions surrounding the matter. "There is a perception that some appointments to key positions in the judiciary may appear to be compromised or tainted. "Certain candidates have reportedly been questioned or doubted by some quarters, but I can assure you that this is not the case. "And the names that have been questioned or viewed with suspicion were never even submitted to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong or the Conference of Rulers. "So I am closing this chapter, and I hope, God willing, when the announcement is made, it will prove that the Madani Government is committed to reforms, including upholding the principle of judicial independence," he said. Additionally, he emphasised that he has never discussed any court cases with any judge, to preserve the principle of judicial independence. "I have never discussed any case with any judge, whether with the chief justice or other judges. I remain committed to the principle of judicial independence," he said.

Chip Gaines defends decision to include gay couple on 'Back to the Frontier' show
Television personality Chip Gaines defended the inclusion of a same-sex couple in 'Back to the Frontier,' a new show featuring him and his wife, Joanna, about families who give up technology and try to live as homesteaders did in the 1800s. The show features married couple Jason Hanna and Joe Riggs and their 10-year-old twin sons, sparking backlash from prominent religious conservatives online. Franklin Graham, the son of evangelical pastor Billy Graham, said in a post on social media that the casting of a gay couple is 'very disappointing.' 'While we are to love people, we should love them enough to tell them the truth of God's Word,' Graham said. 'His Word is absolute truth. God loves us, and His design for marriage is between one man and one woman. Promoting something that God defines as sin is in itself sin.' Gaines responded to the criticism in a social media post Sunday, encouraging people to ask questions and 'maybe even learn.' He added, 'It's a sad Sunday when 'non believers' have never been confronted with hate or vitriol until they are introduced to a modern American Christian.' Gaines has responded to dozens of other critics in defense of Hanna and Riggs' inclusion in the show, quoting Bible verses and saying there are other TV shows critics could watch. In response to a critic who said 'we are extremely sad because of how much we have grown to admire and appreciate you both,' Gaines responded encouraging Christians to 'judge not' and 'love one another.' Hanna thanked Chip and Joanna Gaines in a post on his Instagram story Tuesday for 'leading with love, listening, and learning.' 'Representation matters deeply — especially for those who are still finding the courage to live their truth,' Hanna said in a longer post responding to the backlash from some conservatives. 'When families like ours are visible, it opens doors for others to feel safe, loved, and validated. Visibility isn't just about being seen; it's about making sure no one feels alone.' The couple has faced backlash before, but more often from those who support LGBTQ rights. They attend the Antioch Community Church, an evangelical church in Waco, Texas, which opposes same-sex marriage. In a 2021 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Joanna Gaines said accusations that the couple is racist and anti-LGBTQ are 'so far from who we really are' and that the criticism is 'the stuff that keeps me up.'

Field Commander in Al-Quds Brigades reveals details of complex operation targeting Zionist armored vehicle in Absan
Gaza – Saba: A field commander in Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine, operating in the Khan Younis Brigade, disclosed details on Wednesday of a complex and high-quality operation targeting a Zionist armored personnel carrier (APC) in the Absan al-Kabira area east of Khan Younis on Tuesday. The operation aimed to capture several soldiers. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the commander explained that the operation began with the detonation of pre-planted explosive devices of the "Barq al-Sadmiya" (Shock Lightning) type, which had been carefully placed along the vehicle's route following precise surveillance and days of preparation. The explosion completely destroyed the APC, setting it ablaze. He added that immediately after the blast, their fighters rushed toward the armored vehicle, engaging its crew at point-blank range and managing to drag one soldier out in an attempt to capture him. However, during the operation, nearby military vehicles intervened, shelling the scene with artillery and heavy machine gun fire, hindering the completion of the capture. This resulted in the death of the targeted soldier and the martyrdom of a group of their heroic fighters, who had carried out the mission with utmost bravery. The commander emphasized that this was not the first operation of its kind, as numerous attempts had been made in other conflict zones. He expressed high confidence in their fighters, stating, "We trust our mujahideen, and God willing, they will achieve success." Since October 7, 2023, Palestinian resistance factions have continued their heroic operations against the Zionist enemy as part of the ongoing "Al-Aqsa Flood" battle. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
