2 more Bersatu members arrested after anti-Anwar rally
The Perikatan Nasional rally on Saturday saw protesters, estimated at 18,000 by police, calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. PETALING JAYA : Two more Bersatu members have been arrested by police, believed to be in connection with the Turun Anwar rally held on Saturday. According to Bersatu Youth information chief Harris Idaham Rashid, the duo – Furqan Hakimi, who serves as the executive secretary of the wing's Perak chapter, and Syafiq Aziz – were picked up today. 'They are believed to have been arrested over the July 26 rally. Both will be taken to the Dang Wangi police headquarters. An application to extend their remand is expected to be made tomorrow morning,' he said. In the same statement, Harris said the magistrate had earlier today rejected an application by police to extend the remand order of two others. 'As a result, Badrul Hisham Shaharin and (Sijangkang PAS Youth chief) Ikhwan Syaffiq were released at 5pm today,' he said. Badrul, better known as Chegubard, was arrested by police at his home yesterday evening. Badrul earlier said in a Facebook post that police had informed him he was being probed under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act 1948 for doing or attempting to do any act with a seditious tendency, Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 for improper use of network facilities, and Section 504 of the Penal Code for intentional insult with intent to provoke a breach of the peace. He said he was also being investigated under Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955 for using indecent, threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour that could lead to a breach of the peace. The Perikatan Nasional rally on Saturday saw protesters, estimated at 18,000 by police, calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

Don't get too comfortable with your mandate in Melaka, Bersatu Youth tells Akmal
PETALING JAYA: Melaka needs leaders who solve the people's problems instead of squabbling, says Bersatu Youth. Its information chief Harris Idaham Rashid said there was dissatisfaction on the ground with the recent back-and-forth between Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan over seat sharing in next year's state election. He also advised Umno Youth chief Datuk Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh not to "get too comfortable" with the mandate the party received in the 2021 state polls, as the political landscape had changed. "The people want leaders who don't just criticise and fight among themselves, but who find solutions to the problems faced by the public," he said in a statement on Monday (May 19). He said support for Perikatan Nasional had surged in the state, as seen in the GE15 results in 2022 when the coalition won in Umno strongholds like Jasin, where Dr Akmal is division chief. In 2021, Barisan secured a two-thirds majority in the state assembly, winning 21 out of 28 seats. Pakatan won five and Perikatan, two. In GE15, however, Barisan lost in every parliamentary seat it contested in Melaka. Pakatan won three of the six seats, with Perikatan taking the remaining three. Earlier this month, nine DAP branches in the state proposed a 14-14 seat sharing formula between Barisan and Pakatan in the next Melaka election. Akmal had reportedly rejected the idea outright, telling his unity government colleagues to "dream on". Last week, Barisan chairman and Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said seat discussions should be left to the top leadership and besides, the Melaka polls are only due next year.
