BDS tuntut penjelasan terperinci projek Network School di Forest City - Sinarharian - 14/07 4:15 pm

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.

Selangor to roll out free breakfast for 120,000 students from August - Sinardaily - 14/07 4:03 pm

SHAH ALAM - The implementation of the free breakfast programme for students in Selangor draws inspiration from several developed nations that have proven the initiative is not a waste but rather an investment in children's wellbeing.Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said several countries have long implemented free breakfast provision in schools, showing positive effects on students' welfare and development.He said Selangor will implement the programme starting this August, involving about 120,000 students in 965 schools including primary schools, secondary schools, Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS) religious schools as well as institutions registered with the Selangor State Education Department (JPN)."Developed nations such as Finland and the United Kingdom have long proven that free breakfast is not a waste but an investment."India also introduced it in 2022 and saw a marked increase in attendance as well as a decline in student dropout rates," he said in a statement on Facebook on Tuesday.Sinar reported on June 15 that the Selangor government would implement the Free Breakfast programme for 120,000 students in 965 schools across the state as an initiative under Phase 1 of the Selangor Resilience Reinforcement Package (PPDTS).The programme was introduced to help ease the burden on students affected by the cost of living, particularly those who do not have time for breakfast before going to school.Meanwhile, Amirudin said the programme will be delivered two to three times a week to students identified through JPN Selangor data to help reduce the burden on families in need.He said recipients of the programme have already been identified, with an implementation mechanism nearly similar to the long-running Supplementary Food Scheme (RMT)."Selangor is moving in the same direction by making schools not just a comfortable place to learn but a place that safeguards every child's wellbeing."This is among the Selangor government's efforts to help parents amid the crisis affecting West Asia," he said.

Melaka eyes new flight routes to boost tourism, investment, regional connectivity - Sinardaily - 13/07 1:19 pm

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

Experts reject blanket school metal detectors to avoid prison-like environments - Sinardaily - 11/07 8:30 am

SHAH ALAM - Installing metal detectors across Malaysia's nearly 10,000 schools could inadvertently transform nurturing classrooms into hostile, prison-like environments while completely failing to address the root causes of student violence, experts warned.The security debate has gained momentum following a series of distressing campus bullying incidents and weapon-related attacks.However, prominent analysts argue that implementing a blanket, high-tech security policy nationwide would induce massive financial deficits without actively solving student behavioral issues.Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) education expert Dr Anuar Ahmad asserted that academic institutions must remain safe havens for development rather than high-surveillance facilities.He noted that because only a small fraction of schools face chronic disciplinary risks, a uniform deployment of metal detectors would be an inefficient use of ministry funding."There is no need to install metal detectors in every school
