Young people are welcome to express opinions without going too far, says MCA Youth chief
JOHOR BARU: Youths are encouraged to have differing opinions, but these should be expressed without going overboard, says MCA Youth chief Ling Tian Soon.
He said youths, especially university students, tend to have opinions that diverge from those of the establishment.
'This is normal. Youths have the right to speak their mind – in fact, they are encouraged to do so through the right channels, such as rallies, without going overboard,' he said after a financial aid presentation ceremony here on Monday (June 23).

No action, but UMS will advise students on responsibilities of freedom
KOTA KINABALU: Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) will not take action against students involved in an anti-graft demonstration, as advised by the prime minister, said vice chancellor Professor Datuk Kasim Mansur. However, UMS will advise its students on the responsibilities that come with freedom. "Given that the prime ,inister has made a statement that no disciplinary action will be pursued, we will comply with the position. "However, at the university level, we will continue to engage students and help them understand that their freedoms come with responsibility," he said after handing over hybrid "bubu" fish traps to fishermen from Kampung Rampayan in Manggatal near here. UMS had considered suspending or expelling 13 students involved in the Sabah Gempur Rasuah 2.0 demonstration, including two who had burned an effigy of the prime minister. Kasim said the university respected students' right to voice their opinions, but there must be a balance between activism and adherence to regulations. "It has been stated by the higher education minister that the demonstration showed students have space to express themselves. "However, while AUKU (Universities and University College Act (Amended) 2012) allows students to participate in demonstrations, UMS is of the view that it should not reach a point where good judgment is lost. "The permission we granted was based on students respecting the law and not engaging in actions that could negatively impact the surrounding community. "It must be expressed in a civilised manner, without violating regulations. That is our stance on this matter," he said. On the hybrid "bubu" project, Kasim said it was in collaboration with the Higher Education Ministry and aligns with the state's Sabah Maju Jaya agenda to uplift coastal communities through sustainable economic activities in agriculture and fisheries. "The hybrid fish trap supplements traditional fishing methods and provides an alternative source of income without harming marine ecosystems." Present were UMS Blue Economy Research and Maritime Safety director Professor Dr Ismail Ali and and Rampayan village chief Amberen Aliamat.

Selayang PKR Youth leaders quit in solidarity with defeated colleagues, says party
PKR Youth deputy chief Izuan Kasim said the resignations of the 13 youth committee members and claims that the wing has been dissolved will be discussed at a coming meeting of the central leadership. (Facebook pic) PETALING JAYA : The 13 Selayang PKR Youth wing committee members who resigned recently had done so in solidarity with their defeated associates in the last division elections, PKR Youth deputy chief Izuan Kasim said. He said he was informed of this at a two-hour meeting with the division's committee and members of the central PKR Youth leadership on Thursday. 'The meeting was held as a platform for the committee members to voice their opinions,' he said. He said the outcome of the meeting, as well as claims that the wing has been dissolved, will also be discussed at a coming meeting of the central leadership. 'It is too early to say that the Selayang PKR Youth wing is officially dissolved. Any dissolution must be confirmed by the central PKR Youth leadership,' he said. It was reported that among those who resigned were the wing's deputy chief, Amir Sahmat, and vice-chief, Lee Fook Onn. Amir had said the resignations were triggered by dissatisfaction over the April 12 youth wing elections, where Tamilarasu Thamil Kalai was declared the division's youth chief. Although there have been claims that the resignations will trigger the wing's dissolution, PKR Youth secretary Omar Mokhtar A Manap emphasised that the wing has not been dissolved. Party secretary-general Fuziah Salleh also dismissed the claims, saying that at least two-thirds, or 18 of the 26 committee members, must resign for the wing to be considered dissolved. 'The total number of elected members is 18, and an additional eight may be appointed, making a maximum of 26. To meet the two-thirds threshold, at least 18 members must resign, Fuziah had said in a statement. 'Firstly, 17 resigned, then three withdrew, followed by another one. The latest figure of those who resigned is 13.'

MCA launches new service centre in Johor
JOHOR BARU: MCA has launched a new service centre in Taman Perling to boost grassroots engagement and better serve local residents, particularly working adults who struggle to access assistance during regular hours. The centre, led by Nicol Tan Hiang Kee, who also serves on the Iskandar Puteri City Council, will operate by appointment to provide flexible support for community members seeking help with paperwork or local issues. The centre was launched by MCA Youth chief Ling Tian Soon (pic), who said the party's strength lies in its consistent service to the people, regardless of electoral outcomes. 'Serving the people has always been MCA's core principle. Whether we win or lose elections, our commitment remains unchanged,' he said during the event yesterday. Ling praised party leaders such as Johor MCA deputy Youth chief Chua Jian Boon and Tan herself for continuing to serve their communities even after contesting unsuccessfully in previous elections. He also noted that the new service centre reflects MCA's ongoing efforts to stay connected with the grassroots. 'Whether it's at coffeeshops, markets, or wherever the people are, it is easy to find representatives from MCA,' he added. Addressing recent public concerns, Ling said MCA would continue to speak up on issues such as the expansion of the Sales and Service Tax and the SPM grade distinctions. 'Some policies may have inadvertently affected certain groups. That is when representatives must speak up,' he said.
