SHAH ALAM - The actions of a DAP MP, who was seen celebrating the Kuala Lumpur High Courts decision rejecting former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razaks application for house arrest, have drawn criticism from several Umno leaders."Another reason to celebrate the end of this year," wrote Puchong MP Yeo Bee Yin in her Facebook post on Monday.Responding to the post, Umno Youth chief Datuk Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh reminded Yeo that what her party leaders were actually celebrating was the partys total rejection in Sabah."What more are we waiting for?

SHAH ALAM Umno President Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has issued a stern warning against "pouring oil on a raging fire" following the High Court's dismissal of Datuk Seri Najib Razak's house arrest bid.Although the Facebook post was brief, it is widely believed to be directed at DAP leaders who allegedly "celebrated" the Kuala Lumpur High Courts decision to dismiss the former prime ministers judicial review application regarding the royal addendum.Barisan Nasional (BN) Secretary-General Datuk Seri Zambry Abdul Kadir joined the fray, criticising the conduct of Puchong MP Yeo Bee Yin.Zambry described the DAP lawmakers actions as "inappropriate," noting that court decisions involve personal suffering and have significant consequences for the individuals and families concerned.The court's ruling has triggered a sharp reaction within Umno.Umno Youth chief Datuk Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh has gone as far as urging the party to withdraw its support for the current government.He stressed that it would be better for Umno to serve as a "dignified Opposition" than to remain in a coalition where it feels humiliated by its partners.The backlash follows the Kuala Lumpur High Courts rejection of Najibs application to compel the government to implement a royal addendum that would have allowed him to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest.Judge Alice Loke Yee Ching ruled that the alleged order was never discussed during the 61st Pardons Board meeting.She clarified that the order was not made in accordance with procedures under Article 42 of the Federal Constitution, as the specific issue of house arrest was not decided during the session.According to the judge, the supplementary document only contained a recommendation to consider Najibs request for a full pardon and a reduction of his sentence, rather than a finalized order for home detention.The 72-year-old former Pekan MP has been incarcerated at Kajang Prison since Aug 23, 2022, following his conviction for misappropriating RM42 million from SRC International Sdn Bhd.With this application rejected, Najib remains at the facility, with a scheduled release date of Aug 23, 2028.However, the defence still has the opportunity to file an appeal against the decision at the Court of Appeal in Putrajaya.

SHAH ALAM Todays content exposure landscape has undergone a fundamental shift, making regulatory efforts increasingly challenging in a borderless digital era.Angkatan Belia Islam Malaysia (ABIM) President Ahmad Fahmi Mohd Samsudin, said paid streaming platforms such as Netflix still require subscriptions and account controls to access certain content, unlike open social media platforms that allow sensitive material to be reached directly.He said platforms such as TikTok and X enable users to access high-risk content simply through keyword searches or specific hashtags, significantly increasing exposure without prior filtering.These developments make content regulation increasingly challenging, particularly in ensuring adequate protection for children and adolescents.ABIM stresses that the open nature of social media causes the normalisation of values to occur more aggressively compared with traditional streaming platforms, he told Sinar.He explained that short-form content, simple visuals and emotionally charged clips spread easily and are further amplified by algorithms, creating impact even when the material is not explicitly explicit.He also expressed concern over the countrys ability to maintain control over the filtering of foreign content, as more scenes appear to slip through in foreign films and dramas on streaming platforms.According to ABIM, age-control mechanisms, content reporting systems and self-regulation measures on social media remain weak and rely too heavily on users.When content can be accessed through basic searches, the responsibility for protection should not rest solely on parents or individuals, but must involve clear commitment from platform providers.ABIM rejects the narrative that deviant content only appears to those who seek it, as algorithms also push content based on minor interactions and viewing patterns, including to underage users, he said.
