KUDAT: Former Kudat Member of Parliament Datuk Amir Kahar Mustapha has stepped forward to address concerns over eviction notices issued to residents of Kampung Landong Ayang, claiming that the situation has been misrepresented. In a media statement Sunday, Amir who is also a former Kota Marudu Member of Parliament said the eviction notice dated May 19, 2025, issued by the Sabah Land and Survey Department, affects only two houses in the village and not the entire community as some parties have suggested. 'The houses involved are located entirely within the gazetted area,' said Amir who is also a former Banggi Assemblyman. His statement comes amid concern among residents and social media speculation about mass displacement. He said the notice delivery process was conducted in an orderly manner with full transparency. Kudat District Chief Aliasgar Alibaba was present during the notice delivery, ensuring proper protocol was followed.
Advertisement Amir dispelled rumours that the entire village was under threat of eviction, adding that this is not a sudden development. 'The affected residents have been informed about the land status issue repeatedly over the past 20 years, contradicting claims that the eviction notice came without warning. 'There were no elements of coercion or shocking actions taken without prior notification,' he said, pointing out that the authorities have followed proper procedures throughout the process. The former legislator urged all parties not to be misled by irresponsible slander and false accusations circulating about the issue. He called for full cooperation with authorities to resolve the matter harmoniously and wisely. 'As a former people's representative in this area, I will always be concerned about the fate of the people, while upholding the law and the rights of legitimate authorities,' he said. * 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?

Dismissive attitude towards Borneo Bloc led to political shift: Hajiji

Published on: Monday, July 28, 2025 Published on: Mon, Jul 28, 2025 By: Jonathan Nicholas Text Size: KOTA KINABALU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor ( pic ) said the lack of respect shown towards the Borneo Bloc by the previous federal leadership prompted him to reconsider his political alignment. He recalled a meeting in Kuala Lumpur with Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun and Datuk Seri Jeffrey Kitingan where a senior federal leader dismissed the idea of a united Sabah and Sarawak voice. According to Hajiji, the leader's comment, declaring himself as 'the Master,' signalled a clear disregard for the Borneo Bloc's aspirations and Sabah's role in shaping its future. Speaking during the Gagasan Rakyat AGM on Sunday, Hajiji, who is also Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) Chairman and Gagasan Rakyat President, said the incident led to deep reflection and eventually convinced him that change was needed for the sake of Sabah. He said the Unity Government under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had taken Sabah's longstanding concerns seriously, particularly those related to the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63). Hajiji stressed that GRS backs the current government because it respects Sabah's dignity and has begun to deliver on long-overdue commitments such as the devolution of powers. He confirmed he would join Anwar during his visit to Sabah today, with cross-border cooperation and regional concerns in the Sulawesi Sea expected to be among the key matters discussed. * 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?

Anwar open to no-confidence motion in Parliament

Published on: Sunday, July 27, 2025 Published on: Sun, Jul 27, 2025 Text Size: Pic by Bernama PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim ( pic ), on Sunday, said he remains open to any motion of no-confidence brought against him in Parliament. He noted that the opposition has repeatedly raised the idea of such a motion over the past three years. Anwar said if the opposition decides to proceed with the move, the government will not stand in the way. He added that the process is part of a proper parliamentary democracy and should be respected as such. The remark came after opposition leader Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin recently hinted at tabling a no-confidence vote. However, Perikatan Nasional chief whip Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan said the opposition might not have the numbers to push it through. Anwar previously instructed the Dewan Rakyat Speaker to allow any such motion to proceed if formally tabled. * 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?

Thailand, Cambodia agree to Malaysia as mediator, talks tomorrow

Published on: Sunday, July 27, 2025 Published on: Sun, Jul 27, 2025 By: Bernama Text Size: For illustrative purposes only. KUALA LUMPUR: Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to accept Malaysia as a mediator in efforts to resolve the border conflict between the two countries, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said. He said Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thailand's Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai are expected to arrive in Malaysia tomorrow evening to discuss a resolution to the conflict. 'I had the opportunity to speak with the Foreign Ministers of both Thailand and Cambodia. They both agreed that no other country should be involved in this issue. They have full confidence in Malaysia and have requested me to act as mediator. 'I am also waiting for a phone call from the US secretary of State (Marco Rubio) as they wish to know how the US can assist. 'However, I believe it is better for Malaysia to act as mediator first, as this is an internal ASEAN matter, and Malaysia, as the ASEAN Chair, should play that role,' he told Bernama after officiating the Segambut UMNO division delegates meeting here today. * 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?
