Archbishop Caccia: ‘Development should serve the well-being of all'
The Holy See's Permanent Observer to the United Nations, Archbishop Gabriele Caccia, speaks at the Conference on Financial Development in Seville, Spain, emphasizing the importance of fostering development on those most in need while upholding the dignity of every human being. Jul 03, 2025 Archbishop Caccia speaks at the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development, in Seville, Spain By Grace LathropArchbishop Gabriele Caccia, Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the UN, stressed the importance of looking beyond just economic metrics or financial systems when discussing approaches for development after recent funding cuts to international aid. Speaking at the Conference on Financial Development in Seville, Spain, he called for world leaders to rethink priorities, act in solidarity, and fix global systems so that they uplift all people. The purpose of development In his speech, Archbishop Caccia addressed King Felipe VI of Spain, saying that in order to see results, development projects must be human-centered and deeply rooted in moral value. He also spoke on behalf of those suffering the most from recent funding cuts, saying development 'must not be at the service of economy, but have at its center and promote the God-given dignity of every human person.' For decades, global development has been measured through different economic indicators, he said, calling for a change in priority. He argued that 'development should serve the well-being of all, especially the poor and most in need, fostering justice, solidarity, and peace.' Archbishop Caccia said the Holy See believes that the world must shift from focusing on economic markets to integral human development in order to effectuate change. A broken system Archbishop Caccia explained that the current financial system does not properly serve those in need, saying it comes as 'a result of a series of decisions and priorities which frequently fail to serve the common good, consistently leave those in the most vulnerable situations struggling.' The Archbishop also raised the concern that current economic plans are going against long-standing Catholic traditions, like serving the poor and vulnerable. Results of development models are leading to a growing increase in inequality, rather than helping to overcome it, he said. Pope Leo XIV, noted Archbishop Caccia, has stated that 'every effort should be made to overcome global inequalities that are carving deep divides between continents.' Policy and development choices continue to drive divides between economic classes and as Archbishop Caccia mentioned, global financial systems are not neutral players. A call to action In his address, the Holy See's representative at the UN called for reform of the international financial systems, describing them as outdated and unable to affectively solve current world problems. The current system does not have the means to support countries to achieve further human development, and the Holy See is urging world leaders to make a change. Archbishop Caccia concluded by reminding global leaders that 'the time to act is now, not as isolated entities, but as one human family.'--CNA

Johor Tops National Growth With 6.4% GDP Surge In 2024
Johor recorded the highest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in the country for 2024 at 6.4%, surpassing the national average of 5.1%, according to the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM). The surge was largely driven by strong momentum in the services, construction, and manufacturing sectors, bolstered by rapid development in data centres, digital infrastructure and a competitive industrial ecosystem. Johor also maintained its position as the main contributor to the national agriculture GDP at 17.3%, supported by increased palm oil production and growth in the food processing and vegetable oil subsectors. Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi said the state's achievement has strengthened the execution of Agenda Maju Johor, which targets annual GDP growth between 7% and 8% by 2030. 'Praise be to God. Johor has emerged as the state with the highest growth rate in 2024 at 6.4%, surpassing the national growth rate, with the state's GDP now reaching RM158.0 billion. My deepest appreciation to all parties who have worked together to achieve this,' he said in a Facebook post today. 'May this achievement catalyse Johor to continue advancing as an international investment hub, driving national economic growth and securing a brighter future for all, God willing.' He attributed the growth to investor-friendly policies, modern infrastructure development and initiatives to empower the rakyat's economic elements aimed at positioning Johor as a prosperous, sustainable, and inclusive state. Onn Hafiz also highlighted the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) as a key driver in attracting regional investments. Johor's strategic location, world-class ports, strong infrastructure and expansive industrial zones continue to boost investor confidence. 'My utmost gratitude to the Regent of Johor, Tunku Mahkota Ismail, for his continuous support, guidance and advice in ensuring the state's economic development continues to advance for the progress and well-being of the Johor people,' he added.

M'sian pays RM2.50 for one curry puff, gets almost no filling
As prices of certain goods are set to increase starting July 1, some vendors are already under fire for reducing portions — and one recent case has struck a nerve with Malaysians online. A disgruntled customer recently took to Reddit's r/Bolehland community to share his disappointing experience after purchasing what he called an 'oxygen curry puff' — a curry puff that appeared to contain almost no filling. In the 10-second video clip, the user showcased the inside of the snack, revealing a nearly hollow shell with barely any sign of potato. He claimed he was charged RM2.50 for the item. 'RM2.50 per curry puff. End up with oxygen,' he wrote in frustration. 'I always laughed at those posts during Ramadan. Never thought I'd end up getting scammed like this too. I hope to God this fella never sells kuih ever again.' The post quickly gained traction, with fellow Redditors empathising and criticising the seller for short-changing customers. 'I pray these kinds of sellers have their daily routines ruined by bloating for every oxygen puff they sell,' one commenter said. 'The suffering should prolong for ruining people's mornings. Imagine biting into a hollow shell that reminds you of your wallet — that's real pain.' Another user pointed out that accountability matters: 'Nothing wrong with calling out these vendors. If they can't sell decent food, they shouldn't be selling at all.'
