PUTRAJAYA - Islamic Tourism Centre (ITC) menjelaskan bahawa Pengiktirafan dan Jaminan Pelancongan serta Hospitaliti Mesra Muslim (MFAR) bukan badan pensijilan halal dan tidak menggantikan Sijil Pengesahan Halal Malaysia (SPHM), sebaliknya melengkapkan ekosistem halal negara bagi memenuhi keperluan pelancong Muslim.ITC memaklumkan penjelasan itu dibuat susulan perbincangan di media sosial mengenai penggunaan istilah Mesra Muslim serta persoalan berkaitan skop dan pemahaman konsep berkenaan."MFAR ialah pengiktirafan rasmi yang dibangunkan ITC berdasarkan garis panduan khusus bagi memastikan produk dan perkhidmatan pelancongan memenuhi elemen mesra Muslim tanpa mengubah atau menggantikan keperluan pensijilan halal sedia ada."Skop MFAR merangkumi antaranya penginapan pelancongan, syarikat agensi pelancongan, premis spa dan kesejahteraan serta produk dan perkhidmatan lain dalam ekosistem pelancongan dan hospitaliti," menurut kenyataan itu hari ini.ITC memaklumkan bagi premis yang menyediakan makanan dan minuman, pematuhan terhadap keperluan Pensijilan Halal Malaysia merupakan antara elemen diberi perhatian dalam proses pengiktirafan MFAR, dengan pelaksanaannya dibuat menerusi kerjasama rapat bersama Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM)."Tujuan utama MFAR adalah menyediakan pengalaman pelancongan yang selesa, selamat dan berteraskan prinsip Islam melalui penyediaan kemudahan ibadah, makanan halal serta perkhidmatan yang memenuhi keperluan pelancong Muslim," menurut ITC.Menurut kenyataan itu lagi, pendekatan MFAR turut mendapat pengiktirafan antarabangsa apabila diterima pakai di beberapa destinasi luar negara termasuk Rusia dan Taiwan."Pembangunan Pelancongan dan Hospitaliti Mesra Muslim (MFTH) turut menyumbang kepada pengiktirafan Malaysia sebagai destinasi pelancongan mesra Muslim nombor satu dunia selama 11 tahun berturut-turut," menurut kenyataan itu.ITC yang ditubuhkan di bawah Kementerian Pelancongan, Seni dan Budaya (MOTAC) pada 2009 turut memaklumkan pihaknya terus memperkukuh kedudukan Malaysia sebagai destinasi mesra Muslim yang diyakini di peringkat global serta menggalakkan orang ramai mendapatkan maklumat sahih mengenai MFAR melalui saluran rasmi agensi itu

KUALA LUMPUR - The Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report on Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) should mark the end of the institution's dark chapter in management and the beginning of a more transparent and integrity-driven TH that truly serves the interests of the Muslim community, said Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim.The Finance Minister's political secretary said in a Facebook post today that the RCI report was a significant milestone for the country as it exposed the reality of misappropriation involving an institution entrusted with safeguarding the interests of Muslims and which had been allegedly plundered by certain groups.He said the public had the right to know the truth because every ringgit deposited with TH represented the hard-earned savings of ordinary Malaysians striving to fulfil the fifth pillar of Islam by performing the haj."It must be stressed that every ringgit deposited with the institution is not surplus money

KUALA LUMPUR - The Muslim Youth Movement of Malaysia (Abim) has described a call by eight United States Congress members for their administration to take action against Malaysia over the investigation into the "Network School" as a challenge to the country's sovereignty and the fundamental principles of international relations.In a statement today, Abim president Ahmad Fahmi Mohamad Samsudin said any investigation into the Network School issue in Johor should be left entirely to the Malaysian authorities, while allegations involving national security must be addressed through an independent, transparent and evidence-based legal process.He said any proven violations of Malaysian law, abuse of immigration facilities or threats to national security should be dealt with firmly, regardless of the nationality or background of those involved."As an independent nation, Malaysia has the sovereign right to determine its foreign policy, immigration policy and national security measures in accordance with the Federal Constitution and the principles of international law, free from pressure or interference by any party."Malaysia's position on Palestine is not driven by contemporary political interests but reflects a long-standing foreign policy based on justice, opposition to colonialism and respect for the right of peoples to self-determination

SHAH ALAM - Tawaran pakej umrah pada harga luar biasa murah perlu dilihat dengan berhati-hati kerana ia boleh menjadi petunjuk awal risiko penipuan, termasuk kejadian jemaah terkandas selepas membuat bayaran kepada pihak tidak bertanggungjawab.Timbalan Presiden Persatuan Agensi Pelancongan Umrah dan Haji Malaysia (PAPUH), Dr Fathir Alhadad Badri berkata, masyarakat mesti mengubah persepsi bahawa harga paling murah memberikan keuntungan kerana dalam industri umrah, kos perjalanan mempunyai kadar tertentu yang perlu ditanggung oleh pihak pengendali.Menurut beliau, pengguna sering terpengaruh dengan tawaran pakej yang memberikan potongan harga terlalu tinggi tanpa membuat semakan latar belakang syarikat, lesen operasi dan kemampuan agensi terbabit dalam melaksanakan tanggungjawab."Keadaan tersebut akhirnya menyebabkan bakal jemaah berdepan masalah apabila syarikat gagal menyediakan perkhidmatan sepertimana dijanjikan, termasuk isu tiket penerbangan dan penginapan."Kalau ada pihak menawarkan pakej umrah RM3,000 atau RM4,000 sahaja sedangkan tiket penerbangan pun sudah sekitar RM3,600 hingga RM4,000, orang ramai perlu bertanya bagaimana pakej itu boleh ditawarkan."Ia sesuatu yang tidak logik," katanya ketika sidang media sempena Karnival Pelancongan Islam PAPUH-Muslim Travel Fair 2026 di sini pada Rabu.Hadir sama, Presiden PAPUH, Datuk Seri Razali Mohd Sham; Timbalan Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Penganjur, Muhammad Mursyid Abu Hassan; Ketua Pembangunan Perniagaan Islam dan Perniagaan Syariah Kumpulan RHB, Ishak Othman; Pengurus Bank Rakyat Cawangan Shah Alam, Huzaimi Ali serta wakil-wakil penaja.Muslim Travel Fair 2026 bakal berlangsung selama tiga hari bermula 31 Julai hingga 2 Ogos di Kompleks PKNS Shah Alam dengan pelbagai tawaran pakej umrah, aktiviti ilmu, cabutan bertuah dan sesi konsultasi bersama pemain industri.Antara pempamer yang bakal menyertai karnival itu ialah Ziarra Travel & Tours, Kembara Taqwa Humaidi Holidays, In Saff, Kiffah Travel and Tours, Safwah Travel, Citadel Travel & Tours dan Ghanaz Travel and Event.Karnival tersebut dijadual dirasmikan Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari pada hari pertama program.Dalam masa sama, Fathir menjelaskan, pengguna perlu memahami perbezaan antara promosi yang munasabah dengan tawaran terlalu murah sehinggakan tidak selari kos sebenar industri.Justeru, menurutnya, penganjuran Karnival Pelancongan Islam PAPUH-Muslim Travel Fair 2026 dilaksanakan sebagai platform untuk membantu masyarakat mendapatkan maklumat tepat dan membuat pilihan berdasarkan pengetahuan, bukan hanya dipengaruhi oleh faktor harga.Tambah beliau, sebanyak 56 syarikat mengesahkan penyertaan dalam karnival berkenaan, termasuk 52 syarikat yang menawarkan pakej umrah, selain pemain industri lain seperti syarikat penerbangan, institusi kewangan dan penyedia pelancongan."Kita mahu masyarakat datang dan melihat sendiri pilihan yang ada

JEMPOL - Tindakan bekas Menteri Kesihatan, Khairy Jamaluddin atau KJ membangkitkan soal Melayu dan Islam lebih kepada usaha untuk dilihat relevan serta membina semula tapak politiknya selepas kembali kepada UMNO.Pengarah Komunikasi Pakatan Harapan (PH), Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil berkata, KJ sudah agak lama meninggalkan parti berkenaan."Dia keluar (UMNO) agak lama dan mahu memulakan semula asas politiknya."Jadi, dia akan mengeluarkan apa sahaja kenyataan yang dirasakan perlu supaya keberadaannya dapat dilihat oleh orang ramai," katanya kepada pemberita selepas selesai Program Ziarah Kasih di Felda Palong 2 bersama calon PH, G Manivanan pada Isnin.Terdahulu, Khairy yang juga bekas Ketua Pemuda UMNO berkata, keputusan BN memilih untuk bekerjasama dengan Perikatan Nasional (PN) pada PRN Negeri Sembilan merupakan isyarat kepada PH.Katanya, sebahagian ahli parti merasakan kerajaan Persekutuan kurang peka terhadap sensitiviti orang Melayu, selain gagal menunaikan beberapa janji yang dibuat sebelum ini.Dalam pada itu, Fahmi turut menolak dakwaan bahawa PH tidak mempunyai pemimpin Melayu-Islam yang memperjuangkan kepentingan kaum dan agama.Justeru, beliau menasihati KJ agar berpada-pada, selain tidak keterlaluan dan taksub terhadap beberapa pandangan sehingga seolah-olah menidakkan kewujudan Melayu-Islam dalam PH."Anwar Ibrahim itu bukan Melayu-Islam? Mohamad Sabu bukan Melayu-Islam? Dzulkefly Ahmad bukan Melayu-Islam? Amirudin Shari, Aminuddin Harun bukan Melayu-Islam?"Saya rasa hentikanlah bermain dengan kepalsuan ini. Ingat, sebagai seorang Muslim, setiap perkara yang kita katakan sekiranya dusta maka ada balasan di akhirat," katanya.

SHAH ALAM - Sebanyak 31 pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO) Malaysia membantah pelantikan Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem sebagai peneraju baharu MMC Port Holdings kerana mendakwa ia menimbulkan persoalan berkaitan integriti, ketelusan dan keselamatan strategik negara.Surat terbuka tersebut disokong oleh 31 NGO termasuk BDS Malaysia, Sekretariat Solidariti Palestin, Pertubuhan Kadazan Dusun Murut Muslim SeMalaysia (KDMRS Muslim), Citizens International, CENTHRA Malaysia, Mahabbah Malaysia, Pertubuhan Mawaddah Malaysia, MANDIRI, GEGAR, HALUAN, MWCQP, Pertubuhan Intelektual Perlis, Pertubuhan Agenda Wanita Malaysia (AGENDA) dan MACSA.Bantahan sama turut disuarakan Dunia Palestin Network, MyCARE, Malaysian Protest 4 Palestine (MP4P), Palestine Solidarity Penang (PSP), Viva Palestina Malaysia, Ban War Criminals, ACCIN, ALIRAN, Pertubuhan IKRAM Malaysia, Persatuan Mantan Profesor UM (PMPUM), Pergerakan Tenaga Akademik Malaysia (GERAK), Pertubuhan Intelektual Perlis (PiP), Gerakan Solidariti Pembebasan Palestin (GSPP), Yayasan Amal Malaysia, Palestine Centre of Excellence (PACE), Majlis Perundingan Pertubuhan Islam Malaysia (Mapim) dan Kesatuan Ulama Muslimin Sedunia (KUMS).Kesemua NGO menggesa pelantikan tersebut ditarik balik kerana Sultan Ahmed sebelum ini dilaporkan meletakkan jawatan daripada syarikat logistik global, DP World susulan dakwaan kaitannya dengan pesalah seks disabitkan kesalahan, Jeffrey Epstein."Selain kaitan Sultan Ahmed dengan fail Epstein, pelantikan berkenaan juga tidak boleh diterima atas beberapa faktor termasuk perubahan kepimpinan yang berlaku secara mengejut tanpa penjelasan dan kebimbangan terhadap aspek geopolitik dan keselamatan negara."Sultan Ahmed dipaksa meletakkan jawatan sebagai Pengerusi dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif DP World pada Februari lalu selepas Jabatan Kehakiman Amerika Syarikat (AS) mengeluarkan dokumen tanpa suntingan yang didakwa mengandungi ribuan komunikasi e-mel antara beliau dan Jeffrey Epstein," katanya dalam satu surat terbuka pada Isnin.Sebelum ini, Reuters melaporkan mengenai pelantikan Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem sebagai Pengerusi Eksekutif MMC Port Holdings.Mereka turut mendakwa beberapa institusi kewangan antarabangsa menggantung pelaburan baharu dalam DP World susulan pendedahan berkenaan.Selain itu, NGO terbabit mempersoalkan perubahan kepimpinan di MMC Ports apabila Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Kumpulan Malaysia syarikat itu digantikan secara mengejut pada 12 Julai lalu tanpa sebarang penjelasan rasmi atau pengumuman pengganti tetap.Dalam masa sama, gabungan NGO tersebut turut membangkitkan kebimbangan terhadap kawalan ke atas infrastruktur kritikal negara memandangkan MMC Ports mengendalikan tujuh terminal utama di sepanjang Selat Melaka yang merupakan antara laluan perkapalan dan transit minyak paling penting di dunia."Meletakkan kawalan langsung ke atas infrastruktur strategik negara di tangan seorang warga asing yang dibayangi skandal antarabangsa dan pernah dikaitkan dengan individu yang disyaki mempunyai hubungan dengan Mossad bukanlah demi kepentingan jangka panjang negara," menurut NGO terlibat.Sehubungan itu, gabungan NGO berkenaan menggesa supaya keputusan pelantikan individu terbabit dipertimbangkan semula demi menjaga kepentingan negara.

Jadi saya menerima keputusan ini demi kepentingan bersama," katanya.Sementara itu, Ketua Wanita Kongres India Muslim Malaysia (KIMMA) Bahagian Port Dickson, Siti Hawa Mohamad turut menyifatkan kerjasama BN- PN sebagai keputusan yang tepat demi memastikan kemenangan gabungan tersebut."Saya rasa ini satu keputusan yang baik

SHAH ALAM - The upcoming Negeri Sembilan state election is increasingly being viewed as a repeat of Johors recent polls, with the contest effectively shaping up as a straight fight between Pakatan Harapan (PH) and what many describe as "Muafakat Nasional 2.0".The political landscape has been shaped by the electoral cooperation between Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN), as well as the absence of smaller parties such as Muda and Parti Bersama Malaysia.International Islamic University Malaysia political analyst Associate Professor Dr Syaza Shukri said the political dynamics in Negeri Sembilan closely resemble those seen in Johor, where the contest ultimately centred on PH and BN despite the participation of smaller parties.From my perspective, the political situation in Negeri Sembilan closely mirrors what happened in Johor. Although smaller parties contested in Johor, the election was widely viewed as a contest between PH and BN, with Pas backing BN.In Negeri Sembilan, the electoral understanding between BN and PN has effectively turned the contest into a straight fight, particularly as I do not think Bersatu would have made a significant impact on its own, she said in an interview with Sinar Daily.Syaza said cooperation between BN and PN could significantly strengthen their electoral prospects by preventing the Malay vote from being split, particularly in constituencies where three-cornered contests had previously benefited PH.More broadly, she believes the cooperation further reinforces a political contest framed around Malay-Muslim unity on one side and the others on the other.The cooperation between BN and PN gives them a notable advantage because it avoids splitting the Malay vote

SEREMBAN -Parti Berjasa mengumumkan akan bertanding di kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Nilai pada Pilihan Raya Negeri (PRN) Negeri Sembilan, sekali gus dijangka menyaksikan saingan lebih sengit di kawasan berkenaan.Presidennya, Zamani Ibrahim berkata, keputusan itu dibuat selepas parti berkenaan meneliti perkembangan pengumuman calon oleh parti-parti yang bertanding.Menurutnya, kajian yang dijalankan mendapati antara faktor menyumbang kepada kadar keluar mengundi rendah dalam kalangan pengundi Melayu ialah ketiadaan calon Melayu di kawasan majoriti Melayu."Berjasa hadir bagi mendengar dan memahami isi hati serta hasrat pengundi Melayu Islam di Negeri Sembilan."Atas prinsip untuk menyuburkan demokrasi dan memberi pilihan kepada pengundi Melayu Islam mendapatkan calon Muslim yang berwibawa, Berjasa memutuskan untuk bertanding di kerusi N.10 Nilai," katanya dalam satu kenyataan pada Jumaat.Zamani berkata, Nilai dipilih kerana kawasan itu dilihat sebagai titik permulaan yang sesuai untuk meletakkan calon Melayu di kawasan majoriti Melayu.Katanya, senario yang menyaksikan semua calon diumumkan sebelum ini bukan daripada kaum Melayu di Nilai turut menjadi antara pertimbangan utama parti itu membuat keputusan tersebut.Bagaimanapun beliau menegaskan, Berjasa kekal komited terhadap agenda penyatuan Melayu dan tidak akan meletakkan calon di kawasan majoriti Melayu yang sudah mempunyai calon Melayu daripada Barisan Nasional (BN), Pas dan Parti Wawasan.Menurutnya, langkah itu diambil bagi mengelakkan pertembungan sesama calon Melayu di kawasan berkenaan.Sebelum ini, Pakatan Harapan (PH) mengumumkan akan mempertaruhkan penyandang kerusi tersebut, manakala Perikatan Nasional (PN) turut mengesahkan penyertaannya.Pengumuman Berjasa itu dijangka mewujudkan pertandingan sekurang-kurangnya tiga penjuru di DUN Nilai, tertakluk kepada pengesahan calon pada hari penamaan calon.Pada Pilihan Raya Negeri 2023, kerusi DUN Nilai dimenangi calon PH daripada DAP, JArul Kumar dengan majoriti 10,889 dalam saingan empat penjuru apabila mendapat undian sebanyak19,133.Lawannya, Gan Chee Biow (PN-Bersatu) mendapat 8,244 diikuti dua calon bebas, Omar Mohd Isa (1,430 undi) dan S Yessu (57 undi).

SHAH ALAM Pas president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang has claimed that Pakatan Harapan (PH) is using Islamophobia as a political weapon after failing to capitalise on sentiments linked to Islam.He alleged that the narrative is being driven by DAP following its gains in the 15th General Election (GE15).In a Minda Presiden post on Facebook on Thursday, the Marang MP claimed DAP began promoting the "Green Wave" narrative after PAS emerged as the party with the most parliamentary seats in GE15, took control of four states and made significant gains elsewhere.He also noted that Pas is represented in every state legislative assembly except Sarawak."The weapon of Islamophobia is being used by DAP after it failed to rely on a weapon disguised in Islam, using the Islamic brand through several groups with an Islamic image, such as Islamisation based on secularism."That is, implementing Islam selectively while using the term Madani in an absolute sense, as though it represents human nature without the guidance and correction provided by Islamic teachings," he claimed.Hadi also alleged that some groups in Malaysia have aligned themselves with DAP while invoking the Quranic phrase Islam Rahmatan lil 'Alamin. He claimed they have remained silent in the face of wrongdoing, including economic issues affecting the public.He further alleged that while such groups promote initiatives such as the Rahmah Sales programme, they have failed to act against those responsible for corruption and other misconduct that continue to affect the people.Hadi described Islamophobia as prejudice against Islam and Muslims

KUALA LUMPUR - Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today extended his deepest condolences over the passing of Professor John L. Esposito, one of the world's most respected scholars of Islam.In a Facebook post, Anwar said his friendship with Esposito spanned more than five decades, dating back to their first meeting in the early 1970s.He described Esposito as an influential scholar who built the intellectual foundations for a deeper understanding of Islam in the West, adding that his contributions to Muslim-Christian dialogue were immense.Anwar also highlighted Esposito's role as founder of Georgetown University's Centre for Muslim-Christian Understanding and his work as co-author of Makers of Contemporary Islam."Esposito built bridges where others were content to build civilisational barriers," the Prime Minister said.He said Esposito's more accessible works, including "What Everyone Needs to Know About Islam and "Who Speaks for Islam?, brought academic rigour to a wider audience, especially after 9/11, when the world badly needed it.Recalling their decades-long bond, Anwar said he had always valued Esposito's wisdom and guidance, calling him a formidable scholar and above all, a loyal friend.He said Esposito was "as generous in private conversation as he was rigorous on the page" and stood by him through thick and thin."On behalf of Malaysia, I extend my deepest condolences to his beloved wife, Jean, and to John's family, colleagues and students."May his scholarship and the dialogue he spent his life building continue to bear fruit

Esposito, sarjana kajian Islam tersohor. Anwar berkata persahabatan mereka terjalin sejak 1970-an dan menghargai sumbangan Esposito memperkukuh dialog Muslim-Kristian.

SHAH ALAM Pas says its objective in the Johor state election had been achieved by preserving Malay-Muslim political power in Malaysia's multiracial society while preventing Pakatan Harapan's (PH) expansion in the state.Bachok MP Mohd Syahir Che Sulaiman said although Perikatan Nasional (PN) failed to win any state seats, Pas' primary objective had nevertheless been achieved based on the election outcome.He said the results, which saw Barisan Nasional (BN) secure 48 of the 56 state seats, PH win eight seats and PN fail to win any, should be viewed within the context of Johor's political landscape."However, Pas' objective was achieved, namely maintaining Malay-Islamic political power within the plural society and curbing PH's advance in Johor as well as subsequently in Parliament."The popularity of Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi as BN's 'poster boy', coupled with a shift in support among fence-sitters, including some PN supporters, particularly Pas voters, also contributed to BN's landslide victory," he said in a statement on Sunday.Syahir said voters in state elections generally tend to support parties or coalitions perceived as having the capability and credibility to form the government.He added that PN was not seen as a viable alternative to BN and PH in Johor as it did not present a Menteri Besar candidate or a sufficiently convincing manifesto, while also facing the combined strength of the state and Federal Government's machinery and media influence.Meanwhile, he said BN's emphatic victory had given Umno fresh momentum ahead of the 16th General Election (GE16).Commenting on PH's performance, Syahir claimed that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and DAP were the parties most affected by the Johor election results.He said BN should not interpret its victory in Johor as a sign that the party's brand had been fully embraced by the people once again.According to him, the shift in support towards BN in Johor was likely temporary, as some voters sought to reject PH, while PN had failed to position itself as a credible alternative.He said PN should strengthen its position in several states, including Selangor, Melaka, Perak and Pahang, by fielding credible Menteri Besar candidates and presenting a more convincing manifesto in preparation for GE16.

KUALA LUMPUR -Jabatan Perdana Menteri (Hal Ehwal Agama) mengecam sekeras-kerasnya tindakan rejim Zionis Israel yang menahan Mufti Besar Baitulmaqdis dan Masjid Al-Aqsa, Sheikh Muhammad Hussein sejurus selepas Solat Jumaat di masjid berkenaan pada Jumaat lepas.Menterinya, Senator Dr Zulkifli Hasan dalam kenyataan berkata, meskipun Sheikh Muhammad Hussein kemudiannya dibebaskan, tindakan terhadap seorang pemimpin agama ketika melaksanakan amanahnya di masjid suci umat Islam merupakan suatu pencabulan terhadap kebebasan beragama serta menjejaskan kesucian Masjid Al-Aqsa."Jabatan ini menggesa masyarakat antarabangsa, khususnya Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (PBB) dan Pertubuhan Kerjasama Islam (OIC), supaya bertindak tegas bagi memastikan hak beribadah, keselamatan para pemimpin agama dan status Masjid Al-Aqsa terus dipelihara selaras dengan undang-undang antarabangsa."Kami kekal teguh bersama rakyat Palestin serta akan terus menyokong segala usaha ke arah keamanan yang adil, mempertahankan hak asasi rakyat Palestin dan menamatkan segala bentuk penindasan terhadap mereka," katanya.Dalam perkembangan lain, Zulkifli turut mengajak rakyat Malaysia memperingati genap 31 tahun tragedi pembunuhan beramai-ramai Srebrenica di Bosnia dan Herzegovina yang mengorbankan lebih 8,000 lelaki dan kanak-kanak Muslim etnik Bosniak pada Julai 1995.Beliau berkata, walaupun Srebrenica diisytiharkan sebagai 'kawasan selamat' oleh PBB, tempat itu tetap ditawan tentera Serb Bosnia, manakala lebih 1,000 mangsa masih hilang dan baki rangka jenazah terus dikenal pasti untuk dikebumikan hingga hari ini."Sejarah turut merakamkan peranan Malaysia dalam memperjuangkan nasib umat Islam di Bosnia menerusi usaha bekas Perdana Menteri, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad dan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, selain penglibatan awal Angkatan Belia Islam Malaysia (ABIM) dalam menyalurkan bantuan kemanusiaan," katanya.Beliau berkata, Malaysia turut membuka pintu perlindungan kepada pelarian Bosnia, menyediakan peluang pendidikan di Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (IIUM) serta menghantar seramai 10,514 pegawai dan anggota Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM) bagi menyertai misi pengaman PBB di Bosnia dan Herzegovina dari 1993 hingga 1998 menerusi penugasan Batalion Malaysia (MALBAT) dan Pasukan Pelaksana Damai (IFOR).Dalam pada itu, Zulkifli menyeru anak muda menjadikan tragedi Srebrenica sebagai pengajaran untuk menolak segala bentuk kebencian, perpecahan dan kezaliman."Ayuh kita bersama-sama menitipkan doa agar para syuhada Srebrenica ditempatkan di maqamtertinggi di sisi Allah SWT dan seluruh keluarga yang ditinggalkan terus dikurniakan kekuatan serta ketabahan yang luar biasa

Johor PAS chief Mahfodz Mohamed says the outcome of the Johor election shows that voters have rejected Pakatan Harapan and DAP.

The lack of a credible and united Malay-Muslim challenger, because of divisions between PAS and Bersatu, is also seen as a factor.
