Hot weather prompts Johor to ease uniform rules for religious school students, says state exco
Johor Islamic Religious Affairs Committee chairman Mohd Fared Mohd Khalid said there were no issues regarding the implementation, as the state government had authorised the District Islamic Education Office (PPID) to determine the appropriate attire.
He said similar measures had been implemented before and could be reintroduced when necessary.
'In Johor, students are required to wear baju Melayu, so having looser clothing makes it more practical, especially during the current weather,' he said after closing the Johor State-Level Mahabbah Komuniti Madani Carnival at Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) today.
On the programme, Mohd Fared said it was a strategic collaboration among various parties aimed at reaching out to the community, particularly the youth, to provide a clearer understanding of increasingly complex social and religious issues. — Bernama

Stay away from Tanjung Dawai beach, Kedah fire dept warns after viral video shows large waves
SUNGAI PETANI, July 14 — The Kedah Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) has advised the public, particularly those in coastal areas, to remain vigilant following reports of large waves off Tanjung Dawai beach. Kedah JBPM Operations Division assistant director Senior Fire Officer I Azhar Mohamad said water recreational activities such as swimming and fishing should be temporarily postponed.

'I urge parents to monitor their children and not let them play near the beach,' he told Bernama tonight. He added that all traders and nearby residents should also be aware of the current situation and be prepared for the possibility of seawater overflow. 'Comply with all safety instructions issued by the authorities. In case of an emergency, call 999 or report to the nearest fire station,' he said. A video showing large waves in Kampung Huma, Tanjung Dawai, went viral earlier today.

Weather now decides which durians travel: Tough Musang King heads abroad, delicate Tupai King stays home
Malaysia's weather that swings from blazing hot to pouring rain now decide which durians are for overseas markets and which for eating locally. Erratic rainfall and heatwaves are reducing yields, damaging fruit quality, and forcing farmers to prioritise exports based on durability and shelf life. There is now more durian supply year round, but logistical hurdles still restrict exports while branding and rarity continue to inflate prices of premium varieties like Tupai King. BEKOK, July 12 — Malaysia's increasingly topsy‑turvy weather is forcing durian growers to split the 'king of fruit' into two camps: hardy varieties robust enough for export and fragile gems that must be eaten quickly at home. Erratic downpours and bursts of intense heat are shortening shelf life, bruising fruit during transit and rendering cross‑border logistics a high‑stakes gamble, Singapore's The Straits Times reported farmers in Johor and Penang sharing during a visit to their orchards during the July–August harvest. 'The weather used to be more predictable. We knew when in the year it would rain, but lately, it's raining all the time. From last year till this year, the rain hasn't stopped,' Chin Kuan Voon whose orchard is in Bekok, Johor was quoted as saying. Tough fruit for long hauls, soft flesh for local palates Chin's 20‑hectare VS Farms is betting on three sturdier cultivars – Musang King, Black Thorn and newcomer Tupai King – but only the first two are earmarked for Singapore and China. Their firmer, bittersweet flesh copes better with cold‑chain trucks and day‑long customs queues. China is one of the top durian importers from Malaysia, but changing weather patterns are limiting what varieties can be shipped out. — Bernama pic By contrast, Penang's much‑hyped Tupai King will remain a largely Malaysian indulgence this year. Penang planter Eric Yeap keeps the variety at home 'because the eight‑hour journey from Penang will affect its quality'. Smaller harvest, sharper triage Storms have already felled four of Chin's mature trees, and he expects yields to drop 40 per cent in 2025 — a squeeze likely to push prices 10–15 per cent higher. With less fruit to sell, deciding which orchard rows feed export orders has become a game of loss minimisation. Rain also washed away much of last season's profits. Chin said Musang King's thicker skin and lower moisture content let it 'survive the vagaries of climate change'. By contrast, the once‑popular D24 suffers when nights stay warm because the flesh 'is very hard. It doesn't get enough water' as Chin put it, adding that this is not the preference for Malaysian tastebuds. Bonus January crop — but can it travel? Swings between scorching days and sudden showers have triggered an off‑season flowering every January. That means a second, smaller crop — but exporting it is tricky because Chinese New Year demand forces hauliers to stack crates and rush deliveries. 'Because the weather is becoming hotter and hotter, we can harvest durians in January as well,' Chin was quoted as saying. According to The Straits Times, Singapore wholesalers expect July's concurrent Johor and Pahang peaks to knock retail prices 20–30 per cent lower, yet admit they will skip Tupai King until supply stabilises. Branding, not just flavour, fuels price gap The Penang‑born Tupai King can fetch up to RM200 a kilogramme, triple a good Musang King; but Chin refuses to convert his entire orchard. 'You can't just sell expensive durians. You need to give people variety,' he told the Singapore newspaper. Marketers hail it for 'bittersweet depth, nutty undertones and subtle fermented notes', but growers concede the premium stems from scarcity and hype as much as taste. The erratic weather may be squeezing margins for durian exporters, but for now it is also ensuring that Malaysia's most fragile, flavour‑packed durians remain a treat best enjoyed on home ground where they drop. — Bernama pic With the changing climate limiting the crop's shelf life, Malaysian farmers say their new checklist looks like this: Hardier husk, drier flesh — to survive six‑ to eight‑hour road trips and two more days on foreign racks. Old‑tree fruit only — older root systems buffer water stress better than young saplings. Triage at orchard gate — fruit that softens within 12 hours is routed straight to domestic stalls instead of the export packing house. Staggered, smaller cuttings — picking in batches reduces pile‑up at customs during unexpected rain delays. Climate may be squeezing margins, but for now it is also ensuring that Malaysia's most fragile, flavour‑packed durians remain a treat best enjoyed where they drop.

Tents torn, stalls damaged: Storm hits 100 traders near Kuala Terengganu drawbridge
KUALA TERENGGANU, July 11 — About 100 traders near the Drawbridge here suffered losses after their stalls were damaged in a storm that occurred around 2.30pm yesterday. A char kuey teow seller at the location, Muhammad Zikri Mohd Noor, 31, said the incident happened while he was preparing ingredients at his home in Kampung Gelugor Kedai to start his business. However, Muhammad Zikri said he and other traders were quite fortunate as the damages caused only affected the tent structures and not their merchandise. 'At the time of the incident, I was at home in Kampung Gelugor Kedai, preparing equipment and sales items to start business around 4pm. After hearing the news, I rushed there (Drawbridge) and found almost all the stalls, chairs, and tables set up for customers scattered and in disarray,' he said when met at the Drawbridge sales site. Muhammad Zikri stated that this was the second time he had incurred losses due to a storm within the last two weeks. He added that the unpredictable weather conditions force traders to face risks due to sudden strong winds and heavy rain. 'We are aware that our business location, being next to the beach, is indeed risky. But that's the only option we have. Today I lost about RM500 because the tent can no longer be used; I have to buy a new one. Last week, my tent was also damaged by a storm, but the loss was smaller because it only involved the tent canopy fabric,' he explained. Meanwhile, another coffee and popiah (spring roll) seller, Tuah Taib, 59, from Bukit Payong in Marang, said he had to spend about RM350 to repair his broken stall poles. 'Throughout my three years of trading here, this is the third time I've suffered losses due to a storm. Today we were quite lucky because the incident happened early; our merchandise was still in the car and hadn't been taken out yet,' he said. Despite the risks, he chooses to continue trading at the Drawbridge sales site due to its strategic location and popularity among tourists, especially during weekends and holidays. — Bernama
