SHAH ALAM Organisers of the Agro Selangor Fishing Festival @ Shah Alam 2026 have apologised following the controversy surrounding the release of Siamese catfish into Tasik Barat at Taman Tasik Shah Alam last Sunday.In a statement on Wednesday, the organisers said they had released baung catfish and patin in preparation for the fishing competition scheduled for July 26, but later received feedback and clarification from the relevant authorities.They said they were informed that the patin released had been identified as Siamese catfish, an introduced species and not a native species as they had been led to believe during the fish procurement process.The organisers said they accepted the criticism and feedback with an open mind and took full responsibility for the oversight."We deeply appreciate the concern shown by all parties in ensuring the continued preservation of the Tasik Barat ecosystem," the statement said.In line with instructions from the Selangor State Executive Councillor for Infrastructure and Agriculture, the organisers said several immediate measures would be implemented to minimise any potential impact on the lake's ecosystem.These include installing nets at all water inlets and outlets of Tasik Barat to prevent the Siamese catfish from escaping into other water systems.The organisers also said they would conduct a full removal operation by deploying nets across the entire lake to capture, identify and remove all Siamese catfish from the water body.They added that any Siamese catfish caught by participants during the competition would be removed and would not be released back into the lake.The organisers also pledged to work closely with the relevant agencies to monitor the situation and carry out follow-up measures, while strengthening their species selection procedures by obtaining technical verification from the relevant authorities before any future fish releases.The Agro Selangor Fishing Festival @ Shah Alam 2026 is scheduled to take place on July 26 at Tasik Barat, Taman Tasik Shah Alam.The inaugural event is jointly organised by the Selangor State Infrastructure and Agriculture Standing Committee and the Shah Alam City Council (MBSA), in collaboration with Ummah Care and 1StopFishing Malaysia

SHAH ALAM - Kota Damansara assemblyman Muhammad Izuan Ahmad Kasim has submitted a petition objecting to a proposed data centre development, following concerns raised by residents over the project's location and the public objection process.The move comes as today marks the final day for the public to submit objections to the proposal."As for now, my office has already submitted the petition against the development of the data centre in that particular area because today is the last day to submit the petition."I will get more information from Petaling Jaya City Council," he said.In the meantime, when contacted by Sinar Daily, Izuan noted that his office was initially unaware of the proposed development, saying the matter only came to their attention after it was highlighted by residents and the Residents' Association (RA).However, he assured that his office had acted immediately by lodging a petition and would seek further clarification from the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ).He said his office had not received prior information about the proposed project before residents raised the issue."My office does not have any information regarding this issue until it was raised by the residents and the RA," he added.The proposed development came to residents' attention after Petaling Jaya City Council put up a public notice seeking feedback on an application to surrender and re-alienate land for the construction of a data centre on Lot 50900, Jalan Rimba Riang, Seksyen 9, Kota Damansara.Residents have questioned the suitability of locating a data centre within a residential neighbourhood and near a school, while also criticising the public consultation process.Among the issues raised are the seven-day objection period, claims that the notice board was only installed a few days before the deadline and allegations that the reference number required for online submissions could not be found, preventing some residents from lodging objections electronically.The issue gained traction on social media after residents urged the local council to extend the objection period and provide greater transparency on the proposed development.Izuan said he would engage with Petaling Jaya City Council to obtain further details on the proposal and the approval process before determining the next course of action.

SHAH ALAM Allegations that Israeli nationals entered Malaysia through legal channels have highlighted the difficulties authorities face in identifying potential security threats among travellers carrying valid travel documents, a security expert said.The issue arose following claims that Israeli nationals participated in the Network School programme at Forest City, Johor, using passports issued by other countries.While their reported entry was legal based on the documents presented, the controversy has sparked questions over whether Malaysia's existing screening mechanisms are capable of identifying individuals whose full background may not be apparent from their travel documents alone.A security expert, who requested anonymity, said the use of second-country passports can complicate efforts to establish a traveller's complete identity, as immigration checks are generally conducted based on the passport presented at the point of entry."Travellers holding passports issued by international organisations, such as the United Nations, would also not raise immediate red flags, as such documents are not inherently invalid under national immigration law, he said.Asked how Malaysia could strengthen security at its borders, the expert said one approach was to assess whether a traveller's appearance was broadly consistent with the nationality stated on the passport, although he acknowledged the limitations of such a method.The expert also warned against placing excessive emphasis on monitoring passengers from particular flights, saying such practices could amount to profiling."By focusing on certain flights, we may be practising profiling, which is a bad word in terms of human rights and travel rights

ISKANDAR PUTERI A school operating within the Forest City development in Johor is under investigation by multiple federal agencies following allegations linked to the citizenship status of an individual connected to its operations.The probe into Network School drew in the Home Ministry, the Immigration Department of Malaysia, the Royal Malaysia Police, the Royal Malaysian Customs Department and local authorities, signalling the seriousness with which authorities were treating the matter.Forest City, the developer behind the sprawling Iskandar Puteri project, said in a statement on Wednesday that it supported the government's position that no party would be allowed to use Johor as a base for any ideology, movement or activity that contravened national laws.The developer pledged full cooperation with all investigating agencies and said it was committed to submitting all required documents to help facilitate a thorough and accurate fact-finding process."Forest City is also committed to submitting all relevant documents required to help facilitate the investigation and accelerate the fact-finding process thoroughly, accurately and effectively," it said.Forest City stressed its zero-tolerance stance towards any violation of the law, misuse of its premises, non-compliance with immigration regulations or any activity that could compromise public safety and order.It warned that should authorities find any breach of laws, immigration regulations, licensing conditions, land use terms or agreements, it would exercise its rights under the law and relevant contracts."Forest City remains committed to fulfilling its responsibilities, compliance and transparency in accordance with Malaysian law to ensure community safety, protect Johor's interests and uphold national sovereignty," it said.

ISKANDAR PUTERI The Network School premises in Forest City here, which has been linked to allegations of Israeli nationals participating using second-country passports and is currently being investigated by the authorities, was observed to still be operating.The journey to the location from Kota Iskandar, the nearest state government administrative area, takes about 20 minutes, covering a distance of around 20 kilometres.Observations found several individuals believed to be foreigners and dressed casually entering and leaving the building throughout the monitoring period

ISKANDAR PUTERI - Premis Network School di Forest City di sini yang dikaitkan dengan dakwaan penyertaan warga Israel menggunakan pasport negara kedua dan kini sedang disiasat oleh pihak berkuasa, dilihat masih beroperasi.Perjalanan ke lokasi dari Kota Iskandar, yang merupakan kawasan pentadbiran kerajaan negeri paling hampir, mengambil masa kira-kira 20 minit dengan jarak sekitar 20 kilometer.Tinjauan mendapati beberapa individu dipercayai warga asing dan berpakaian biasa dilihat keluar dan masuk ke bangunan berkenaan sepanjang pemerhatian dilakukan, namun tiada sebarang aktiviti mencurigakan dapat diperhatikan dari luar premis.Aspek keselamatan di kawasan itu juga kelihatan diberi perhatian apabila terdapat pengawal keselamatan ditempatkan di pintu masuk dan sekitar bangunan.Keadaan di sekitar kawasan kejiranan Forest City pula agak lengang dengan kebanyakan individu yang ditemui terdiri daripada warga asing, pelancong serta pekerja yang berulang-alik ke Singapura.Difahamkan, satu operasi bersepadu melibatkan beberapa agensi kerajaan telah dijalankan di premis itu pada petang Isnin bagi membantu siasatan yang sedang dijalankan.Bagaimanapun, sehingga kini tiada kenyataan rasmi dikeluarkan mengenai hasil operasi berkenaan kerana siasatan masih diteruskan oleh pihak berkuasa.Sementara itu, Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Kota Iskandar, Datuk Pandak Ahmad berkata, sebarang tindakan yang didapati bercanggah dengan dasar kerajaan atau undang-undang negara perlu disiasat secara menyeluruh sebelum tindakan sewajarnya diambil."Sekiranya perkara itu benar dan melanggar dasar kerajaan, sudah tentu kami tidak bersetuju dan meminta pihak berkuasa mengambil tindakan sewajarnya," katanya.Sebelum itu pada Selasa, Kementerian Dalam Negeri (KDN) melalui Jabatan Imigresen Malaysia (JIM), Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) dan agensi berkaitan sedang menjalankan semakan serta siasatan menyeluruh berhubung isu operasi 'Network School' di Forest City, Johor.Menteri Besar Johor, Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi dalam kenyataannya, menegaskan kerajaan negeri tidak akan membenarkan mana-mana pihak menjadikan Johor sebagai tapak untuk membawa ideologi atau gerakan yang bercanggah dengan undang-undang, kedaulatan serta kepentingan negeri dan negara.

PUTRAJAYA- Jabatan Imigresen Malaysia (JIM) melaksanakan naziran terhadap sebuah komuniti antarabangsa di Forest City, Johor pada Selasa membabitkan pemeriksaan ke atas 266 warga asing dari 40 negara.Operasi itu dijalankan dengan kerjasama Majlis Bandaraya Iskandar Puteri (MBIP), Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia (MCMC), Pejabat Setiausaha Kerajaan Negeri Johor serta Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM).Ketua Pengarah Imigresen, Datuk Zakaria Shaaban berkata, hasil semakan awal mendapati kesemua individu yang diperiksa memiliki dokumen imigresen yang sah berdasarkan rekod semasa.Bagaimanapun, katanya, semakan dan siasatan lanjut masih diteruskan bagi memastikan pematuhan sepenuhnya terhadap syarat kemasukan serta peruntukan Akta Imigresen 1959/63 dan undang-undang berkaitan."Setiap kemasukan warganegara asing ke Malaysia adalah tertakluk kepada peruntukan undang-undang imigresen yang berkuat kuasa."Pemeriksaan di pintu masuk negara dilaksanakan berdasarkan dokumen perjalanan yang dikemukakan, semakan terhadap pangkalan data berkaitan serta rekod penguatkuasaan yang tersedia ketika pemeriksaan dijalankan," katanya dalam kenyataan pada Rabu.Menurutnya, JIM akan menjalankan siasatan lanjut terhadap mana-mana perkara yang menimbulkan keraguan atau sekiranya terdapat maklumat baharu berkaitan penyalahgunaan identiti, dokumen perjalanan, kemudahan imigresen atau pelanggaran syarat pas yang dikeluarkan."JIM tidak akan berkompromi terhadap sebarang pelanggaran undang-undang imigresen atau penyalahgunaan kemudahan imigresen," katanya.Katanya, mana-mana individu yang didapati melanggar undang-undang akan dikenakan tindakan penguatkuasaan berdasarkan hasil siasatan serta peruntukan undang-undang yang berkuat kuasa."JIM bekerjasama rapat dengan Kementerian Dalam Negeri (KDN) serta agensi berkaitan bagi memastikan setiap aspek di bawah bidang kuasa masing-masing disemak secara menyeluruh, profesional dan berlandaskan undang-undang demi memelihara keselamatan, kedaulatan serta kepentingan negara," katanya.Pada Selasa, media melaporkan KDN melalui JIM, PDRM dan agensi berkaitan sedang menjalankan semakan serta siasatan menyeluruh berhubung isu operasi 'Network School' di Forest City, Johor.Ini termasuk dakwaan terdapat warga Israel yang menyertai program berkenaan menggunakan pasport negara kedua.KDN dalam kenyataan berkata, siasatan merangkumi semakan identiti dan kewarganegaraan individu terlibat, status dan kesahihan dokumen perjalanan yang digunakan, jenis pas atau kemudahan imigresen serta tujuan kemasukan ke Malaysia.Menurutnya kenyataan tersebut, pihaknya juga menyiasat pematuhan terhadap syarat-syarat ditetapkan di bawah undang-undang imigresen serta undang-undang lain yang berkaitan.Terdahulu, Menteri Besar Johor, Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi menegaskan bahawa kerajaan negeri tidak akan membenarkan mana-mana pihak menjadikan Johor sebagai tapak untuk membawa ideologi atau gerakan yang bercanggah dengan undang-undang, kedaulatan serta kepentingan negeri dan negara.

SHAH ALAM - Gerakan Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions Malaysia (BDS Malaysia) menggesa kementerian dan agensi kerajaan berkaitan memberikan penjelasan terperinci mengenai pelabur dan pihak yang terlibat dalam projek Network School di Forest City, Johor susulan dakwaan mempunyai kaitan dengan Israel.Menurut BDS Malaysia, penjelasan itu juga perlu merangkumi maklumat mengenai rakan kongsi, peserta, proses pengambilan dan sebarang hubungan secara langsung atau tidak langsung dengan individu, entiti atau institusi Israel.Menurutnya, keyakinan rakyat terhadap perkara berkenaan hanya dapat dipertahankan melalui keterbukaan dan akauntabiliti pihak berkuasa."Malaysia telah lama mengekalkan pendirian berprinsip dalam menyokong rakyat Palestin, sekali gus menentang pendudukan, aparteid dan genosid Israel."Sebarang dakwaan yang mencadangkan kemungkinan kemasukan, pemberian kemudahan atau normalisasi kepentingan berkaitan Israel di Malaysia wajar diteliti dengan berhati-hati demi kepentingan negara," katanya dalam satu kenyataan pada Selasa.Network School merupakan komuniti kediaman dan ruang kerja bersama persendirian yang dilancarkan pada 2024 oleh pelabur teknologi, Balaji Srinivasan.Bagaimanapun, premis itu mula menjadi perhatian ketika tempoh Pilihan Raya Negeri (PRN) Johor susulan dakwaan di media sosial bahawa warga Israel yang menggunakan pasport kewarganegaraan kedua merupakan antara individu yang tinggal di komuniti tersebut.Justeru, BDS Malaysia menggesa semua ahli Parlimen tanpa mengira fahaman politik menyokong siasatan menyeluruh dan telus terhadap perkara berkenaan.Tegasnya, pendirian teguh Malaysia dalam menyokong rakyat Palestin perlu diterjemahkan bukan sahaja melalui kata-kata, tetapi juga menerusi dasar, institusi dan penolakan terhadap sebarang usaha normalisasi dengan Israel."Perjuangan untuk keadilan Palestin memerlukan tindakan tegas dalam negara selain solidariti di peringkat antarabangsa," ujarnya.Dalam pada itu, BDS Malaysia menyambut baik komitmen Ahli Parlimen Muar, Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman untuk menyiasat sendiri kebimbangan yang dibangkitkan berhubung projek Network School.Gerakan itu turut menghargai tindakan pantas beliau dalam memberikan respons terhadap kebimbangan awam, selain mengakui perkara berkenaan wajar mendapat perhatian Parlimen.Menurut BDS Malaysia, tindakan tersebut mencerminkan peranan penting wakil rakyat dalam memastikan ketelusan, akauntabiliti dan keyakinan awam terus terpelihara.

KOTA BHARU Strategi yang akan digunakan Perikatan Nasional (PN) bagi menghadapi Pilihan Raya Negeri (PRN) Negeri Sembilan berbeza daripada pendekatan yang diambil pada PRN Johor sebelum ini.Ketua Penerangan PN, Tan Sri Annuar Musa berkata, jika di Johor fokus utama gabungan itu adalah menyekat kemaraan Pakatan Harapan (PH), namun di Negeri Sembilan strategi yang dirangka lebih agresif."Di Negeri Sembilan, konsepnya ialah mengambil alih pentadbiran kerajaan negeri," katanya semasa sidang media selepas merasmikan Majlis Memperkenalkan Pemain Kelantan City FC di Dewan Rimba Bukit Marak di sini pada Selasa.Sebelum ini, pengakuan Pas bahawa rundingan dengan Barisan Nasional (BN) sedang berlangsung bagi menghadapi PRN Negeri Sembilan membuka satu lagi babak baharu dalam dinamika politik negara.Kenyataan Presiden Pas, Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang bahawa perbincangan itu menunjukkan perkembangan positif memberi gambaran bahawa parti berkenaan sedang meneroka ruang kerjasama bagi memperkukuh kedudukan menjelang medan persaingan politik yang semakin mencabar.Namun, reaksi Presiden UMNO, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi memperlihatkan wujudnya jurang tafsiran antara kedua-dua parti.Peringatan beliau supaya tidak terlalu 'positif' terhadap Pas menggambarkan sikap berhati-hati UMNO terhadap sebarang kemungkinan kerjasama politik.Malah, penegasan bahawa tiada perbincangan rasmi mengenai hala tuju strategi politik menjelang PRN Negeri Sembilan menunjukkan UMNO masih belum bersedia mengiktiraf rundingan tersebut sebagai satu bentuk persefahaman politik yang konkrit.Dalam politik, kenyataan yang berbeza daripada dua pemimpin utama ini bukan sesuatu yang luar biasa.

KOTA BHARU - Rundingan antara Pas dan UMNO bagi menghadapi Pilihan Raya Negeri (PRN) Negeri Sembilan masih berlangsung meskipun wujud kenyataan bercanggah daripada pemimpin kedua-dua parti berhubung perkara itu.Perkara tersebut disahkan oleh Timbalan Pengarah Pilihan Raya Pas Pusat, Tan Sri Annuar Musa yang mendedahkan perbincangan antara kedua-dua parti sentiasa berjalan melibatkan PRN Negeri Sembilan.Menurut beliau, segala persoalan mengenai bentuk kerjasama dan agihan kerusi akan lebih jelas selepas Barisan Nasional (BN) mengumumkan barisan calonnya pada Rabu, diikuti Perikatan Nasional (PN) sehari kemudian."Rundingan dan perbincangan antara Pas dengan UMNO sentiasa berjalan termasuk yang di Johor dan Negeri Sembilan

MELAKA - The Melaka government is actively negotiating with several airlines, including low-cost carriers (LCCs), to launch new domestic and international flight routes aimed at enhancing air connectivity and driving growth in the state's tourism and economic sectors.State Public Works, Infrastructure, Public Amenities and Transport Committee chairman Datuk Hameed Mytheen Kunju Basheer said the proposed routes include Batam in Indonesia, Penang, and Kota Bharu, while opportunities are also being explored in Thailand, Vietnam, and China."The primary focus of this initiative is to strengthen the regional aviation network and connect high-value tourism and investment markets to Melaka International Airport (LTAM)," he told the State Assembly today.He was responding to a question from Low Chee Leong (PH-Kota Laksamana) on the state's plans for LTAM over the next five years.Hameed said the resumption of the Pekanbaru-Melaka-Pekanbaru direct flight operated by Wings Air on June 10 has already contributed to an increase in foreign tourist arrivals, particularly from Indonesia.The state government is targeting about 700,000 Indonesian tourist arrivals this year, representing an increase of nearly 30 per cent from the 515,086 visitors recorded in 2025.He added that the Pekanbaru route also serves as an important transit hub for travellers from major Indonesian cities such as Jakarta, Batam, Medan, and Surabaya, providing easier access to Melaka via Pekanbaru."The state's air connectivity strategy is focused on expanding health tourism, heritage tourism, and the meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) sector, while also attracting more foreign investment into Melaka."For the Indonesian market, we aim to launch the Melaka-Batam route by the end of this year, while efforts are also being intensified to establish direct connections from major cities in China to Melaka," he said.Hameed also revealed that discussions are ongoing with Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) to attract regional airlines to operate flights between Bangkok, Thailand, and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and LTAM.Meanwhile, he said the federal government has no immediate plans to extend LTAM's runway, as the existing infrastructure is sufficient to support current operations.He noted that although LTAM has the capacity to handle up to 500,000 passengers annually, it recorded only 39,222 passengers in 2025.The airport's existing runway is capable of accommodating Code 4C aircraft, including the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320

PENGADIL Perancis, Clement Turpin yang pernah tular kerana dikatakan memiliki wajah seiras bintang Arsenal, Leandro Trossard bakal mengendalikan aksi suku akhir Piala Dunia 2026 antara England dan Norway.Turpin, 44, menjadi perhatian peminat bola sepak selepas gambarnya sering dibandingkan dengan penyerang Belgium itu gara-gara persamaan raut wajah, sehingga ada yang menggelarnya sebagai kembar Trossard.Namun, di sebalik perhatian luar padang itu, Turpin memiliki pengalaman luas di pentas tertinggi apabila dipilih mengadili pertemuan penting England dan Norway pada Ahad (5 pagi waktu Malaysia).Beliau sebelum ini pernah menjadi sasaran kritikan keras jurulatih England, Thomas Tuchel ketika mengendalikan aksi Liga Juara-Juara 2023 membabitkan Bayern Munich dan Manchester City.Tuchel ketika itu memberikan penilaian hanya 1/10 terhadap prestasi Turpin selepas Bayern tersingkir di tangan pasukan kendalian Pep Guardiola.Bagaimanapun, Turpin memiliki rekod baik bersama England selepas mengadili kemenangan 4-2 Three Lions ke atas Croatia pada Piala Dunia kali ini, selain pernah mengendalikan aksi mereka ketika Euro 2024.Turpin juga antara pengadil yang kurang mengeluarkan kad dalam kejohanan kali ini apabila hanya melayangkan tujuh kad kuning dalam tiga perlawanan.Namun beberapa tonggak England seperti Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham, Marc Guehi dan Nico O'Reilly perlu berhati-hati kerana berdepan risiko digantung aksi separuh akhir jika menerima kad kuning.

Berdasarkan kertas pertuduhan, Chegubard didakwa menerbitkan penerbitan menghasut dalam media sosial kira-kira jam 6.30 petang, 26 April lalu. Dalam hantaran itu, Chegubard mengaitkan Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Ibrahim; Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dan dua individu didakwa taikun judi dengan projek kasino di Forest City
