Fadhlina fires back at Rafizi, defends work as minister
Education minister Fadhlina Sidek said every major policy and reform planned for her ministry had been discussed at Cabinet meetings. SELAYANG : Education minister Fadhlina Sidek has hit back at her PKR colleague Rafizi Ramli, who had criticised her ministry for apparently failing to come up with any 'major policy framework' since the government's formation. Fadhlina said every major policy and reform planned for the education ministry had been thoroughly discussed at Cabinet meetings, chaired by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. 'We have already tabled the major policy matters, including reforms we want to carry out. 'So there's no such thing as us not doing anything, because everything has already been discussed at the Cabinet meetings,' the Wanita PKR chief told reporters after an event here. Rafizi was part of the Cabinet until June 17. On Friday, Rafizi parried criticism over his resignation as economy minister, saying his critics should train their guns on the education ministry instead for not introducing any major policy framework after two-and-a-half years. The former PKR deputy president argued that he had completed most of his key initiatives during his tenure, including the 13th Malaysia Plan, energy transition, labour market reforms, progressive wage policy, fiscal reforms, targeted subsidies and digital government initiatives. Fadhlina had defended her post as Wanita PKR chief in the party's elections last month, defeating Ampang MP Rodziah Ismail, who was aligned with Rafizi. Rafizi meanwhile lost the PKR deputy presidency to Nurul Izzah Anwar.

Influencer Mekyun lodges report over indecent child-related content
Influencer Wee Yun Nee, popularly known as Mekyun, lodged a report at Bukit Aman today, accompanied by her lawyer and brother, Jason. (Instagram pic) PETALING JAYA : Influencer Wee Yun Nee, popularly known as Mekyun, has filed a police report after discovering a Facebook group which posted, among others, pictures of her younger self. In a social media post, Wee said she lodged the report at Bukit Aman. She was accompanied by her lawyer and brother, Jason. 'Do not remain silent if this happens to you', she said and urged children to not be afraid to inform their parents if they are similarly harassed. On Wednesday, Malaysiakini reported that Wee took to social media to raise awareness about Facebook groups promoting child-related indecent content. She said she became aware of such groups after numerous followers had alerted her that an image of her in a 'baju kurung' school uniform when she was younger was being circulated. Wee urged the police and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to investigate the matter. Earlier today, Wanita PKR had called for swift action to be taken against those who perpetrated sexual crimes against minors after the discovery of a Facebook group which shared photos of underage schoolchildren. The party wing demanded that the police, MCMC and women, family and community development ministry take immediate and serious action on the matter. The 'Group Budak2 Sekolah Rendah' page, now inaccessible, had over 12,000 members and many explicitly sexual comments and captions on its photos. The images included underage students wearing primary and secondary school uniforms, traditional wear, sports attire, and casual clothing. The issue came to light after rapper Ariz Ramli, better known as Caprice, was notified of the group's existence via an Instagram message. The group was then reported to MCMC as well as the police.
