Selangor to revoke land approvals for houses of worship left undeveloped
Selangor Local Government and Tourism Committee chairman Datuk Ng Suee Lim said that land approvals that are withdrawn would be given to other parties in need.
"The Selangor Non-Islamic Houses of Worship Committee has approved 400 land plots for non-Muslim houses of worship since 2008.
"If we allocate land for them to build a house of worship and no construction work is carried out within five years, we will apply (for forfeiture) to take back the land," he said at the Selangor State Assembly sitting today.
He was replying to a supplementary question from Lwi Kian Keong (PH-Sungai Pelek), who asked about the development period for a non-Muslim house of worship after its application is approved.

KDM eyes GRS stronghold in Ranau
Published on: Tuesday, July 29, 2025 Published on: Tue, Jul 29, 2025 By: Nikko Fabian Text Size: Wetrom expressed confidence in winning Kadazandusun, Murut and Rungus native seats, with plans to expand KDM's reach to other non-Muslim native constituencies. Kota Kinabalu: Social Democratic Prosperity Party (KDM) Deputy President Wetron Bahanda eyes Ranau as a target for electoral victory in the coming state election. 'KDM is preparing to challenge Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), which holds a stronghold in the ethnic Dusun heartland, spanning the foothills of Mount Kinabalu in the Ranau district,' he said. He attributed this surge in support to KDM's promise of prosperity, predicting a strong showing in the coming elections. Wetrom expressed confidence in winning Kadazandusun, Murut and Rungus native seats, with plans to expand KDM's reach to other non-Muslim native constituencies. 'The party has already nominated candidates for key seats - Datuk Rusdin Riman for Paginatan, Datuk Jeffry Mohd Ali for Kundasang and Datuk Karim Adam for Karanaan,' he stressed. He added these seats are currently held by prominent GRS and PBS figures - Datuk Seri Dr Joachim Gunsalam (Kundasang), Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun (Karanaan) and Datuk Abidin Madangkir (Paginatan). KDM's ambition reflects its growing influence in northern Sabah's Rungus community and its recent success in the Murut seat of Tenom. This aggressive strategy, despite the recent imprisonment of KDM President Datuk Peter Anthony, signals a determined bid to reshape Sabah's political landscape. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Labelling boosts transparency, but laws must follow
PETALING JAYA: The government's proposal to mandate the labelling of AI-generated content under the forthcoming Online Safety Act is a positive step but experts warned it must be reinforced by technical and legal safeguards to be effective. UTM Assoc Prof Dr Zool Hilmi Ismail said the move is timely but enforcing it across all platforms will be technically complex and may fall short of preventing malicious AI use. 'Detecting AI-generated content isn't foolproof. The tools we have are still developing and can struggle with new or cleverly altered content. Studies show that deepfake detectors often get it wrong with poor-quality videos, content involving non-Western faces or when the AI has used tricks to avoid detection. In general, technology can't keep up with how fast AI is advancing.' Zool noted that while labelling AI content could increase transparency, it also raises difficult questions about accountability. 'Who is responsible – the creator, platform or third-party aggregators? Logging digital signatures or watermarks could help, but setting up and regulating such a system end-to-end is complex.' He also cautioned that labelling alone will not deter more harmful applications of AI, such as scams and voice-cloning fraud. 'Malaysia needs to strengthen technical safeguards, such as digital watermarking at the point of creation, robust detection systems and fast takedown mechanisms. We also need advanced forensic tools to support investigations.' IIUM Assoc Prof Dr Mahyuddin Daud described the labelling proposal as a 'significant legal development'. 'It mirrors steps taken in countries such as Spain, where failing to label AI content is now considered a serious offence. China is also moving in this direction, requiring platforms to disclose watermarks and metadata.' However, Mahyuddin stressed that without strong enforcement, the law will have little effect. 'Malaysia should introduce clear penalties, such as fines tied to platform revenues and legal duties for platforms to actively detect and remove harmful AI content.' He also recommended mandatory standards for verifying AI material, backed by independent audits, along with specific laws targeting high-risk content such as deepfake pornography and political disinformation. On July 13, Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the government may consider making it mandatory for digital platforms to label AI-generated content under the Online Safety Act. He said it was crucial in addressing concerns about boundaries and the risk of misinformation and fake news spreading through social media. He added that the government may consider similar requirements under the Online Safety Act, which is expected to come into force by the end of the year.

Trump criticises London mayor Khan again during UK visit
TURNBERRY: US President Donald Trump once again targeted London Mayor Sadiq Khan during a press conference in Scotland, where he appeared alongside British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. When asked if he planned to visit London in September, Trump confirmed his intention but took the opportunity to criticise Khan. 'I'm not a fan of your mayor. I think he's done a terrible job,' Trump said. 'The Mayor of London... a nasty person.' Starmer, standing beside Trump, quickly interjected, 'He's a friend of mine, actually.' However, Trump doubled down, stating, 'I think he's done a terrible job. But I would certainly visit London.' The tension between Trump and Khan is long-standing. Khan, a Labour Party member like Starmer, has been a vocal critic of Trump. In January, ahead of Trump's return to the White House, Khan warned of the dangers posed by 'reactionary populists' in an article. Their feud dates back to Trump's first term when Khan criticised the US travel ban on citizens from several Muslim-majority countries. Trump retaliated by calling Khan a 'stone cold loser' and accusing him of mishandling terrorism. In a podcast recorded before Trump's 2024 re-election, Khan suggested that Trump's hostility was racially motivated. 'He's come for me because of, let's be frank, my ethnicity and my religion,' Khan said. Despite their differences, Khan acknowledged the democratic process after Trump's victory, telling AFP in December that the American people had 'spoken loudly and clearly.' Responding to Trump's latest remarks, a spokesperson for Khan said the mayor was 'delighted that President Trump wants to come to the greatest city in the world,' adding that Trump would see how London's diversity strengthens the city. - AFP
