By: Bernama Text Size: LABUAN: Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) is optimistic that its political alliance with Pakatan Harapan (PH) will continue into the Sabah state election. Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (PGRS) vice-president Datuk Mohd Arifin Mohd Arif ( pic ) said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Mohd Noor, who is also PGRS president, is making strategic efforts to ensure the continuation of the coalition's collaboration with PH both during and after the polls.
Advertisement 'The current Sabah government is a combination of GRS and PH…our president is fine-tuning the details of ongoing discussions with PH, and he will make an official announcement in due course,' he told Bernama after officiating the Labuan PGRS annual conference here today. He said the Labuan division would play a critical support role during the state election campaign, especially by reaching out to Labuan-based Sabah voters. 'One of the key efforts is the opening of an operations room here in Labuan, specifically to coordinate support for PGRS candidates,' he said. The current five-year term of the 16th Sabah state assembly will expire automatically on Nov 11. In a recent statement, Hajiji reaffirmed that the cooperation between GRS and PH is based on shared governance goals and the commitment to political stability in Sabah. He said that both coalitions have demonstrated that working together has yielded positive outcomes for the people, and the partnership remains essential for ensuring continued development and unity in the state. * 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?

The silence of 'digital bystanders' amplifies hate online
IN my work at the intersection of content regulation and media ethics, I've come to believe that the most dangerous element in an online space is not always the person posting hateful content. It's the silence that surrounds it. To the algorithms curating our online experiences, silence on harmful content suggests engagement or approval. No reports, no objections, no friction? It must be fine. And to people within those digital communities, silence can feel like social permission. If no one's saying anything, maybe it isn't that bad. Maybe it's even true. This is how hate gets normalised — not with a bang, but with a shrug. The phenomenon is known as the digital version of the bystander effect — where the more people witness harm, the less likely any one person is to intervene. Online, that passivity is multiplied and masked by anonymity. Research shows that in extremist chat groups, more than 80 per cent of users never post anything themselves. They don't initiate hate, but they're there — watching, clicking, sharing. In doing so, they help keep those ecosystems alive. In Malaysia, research by The Southeast Asia Regional Centre for Counter-Terrorism has found that radical content spreads fastest not on public platforms, but in private or semi-private spaces — unmoderated Telegram groups, closed chat rooms and fringe forums. These aren't necessarily echo chambers of hardened extremists. They're often filled with regular people; friends, colleagues, acquaintances who may disagree with what they see, but stay silent nonetheless. It's no surprise then that many countries have turned to deplatforming as a response. Takedowns, content moderation, algorithm tweaks — essential tools in any regulatory arsenal. But they're not silver bullets. And, without thoughtful communication, they can backfire. Remove extremist content too swiftly, and its creators are recast as martyrs. Ban a channel without explanation, and you leave behind a vacuum that quickly fills with conspiracy theories. Kick bad actors off a platform, they don't disappear — they just migrate to more opaque, harder-to-monitor spaces. Simply removing content doesn't remove its influence. This is where counterspeech becomes not just useful, but necessary. Counterspeech means responding to harmful content with facts, empathy, questions or alternative narratives. It works best when it's fast, authentic and comes from peers, not just authorities. The idea is not to out-shout hate, but to interrupt it — early, calmly and effectively. And there's data to back it up. In Sri Lanka, a PeaceTech Lab pilot found that engagement with hate content dropped by 46 per cent when counterspeech was introduced early. In Germany, civic volunteers who replied to hateful YouTube comments within the first hour helped reduce hate-driven threads by 17 per cent. These aren't massive interventions. They're small, consistent disruptions, and they matter. At the Content Forum, we're building on this idea in many of our initiatives — from suicide content guidelines to training with influencers, and in ongoing efforts to educate children and parents about digital friction and media literacy. The goal is to give more people the tools and confidence to speak up before harm escalates. Still, the question remains: why don't more people do it? In every training I run, I hear the same three reasons: "I don't want to be attacked", "It's not my place", and "It won't make a difference". Truth is, counterspeech doesn't require you to win the argument. You don't need to craft the perfect reply or go viral with your response. You just need to say something. Even a simple, "Are we sure this is okay?" is enough to interrupt the flow. It breaks the momentum. It breaches the echo chamber, and often, that's all it takes. Whether we realise it or not, silence online isn't just abstinence — it's influence. It tells the algorithm: this is fine. It tells the community: no one minds. It tells the extremist: no one will stop you. But that doesn't have to be the message we keep sending. If harmful beliefs thrive in silence, then perhaps disruption begins not with noise or outrage, but with clarity, courage and consistency. We don't need everyone to be loud, social media is loud enough as it is! We just need more people to stop being quiet.

Sabah polls: GRS faces tough fight to stay in power, say analysts
KOTA KINABALU: The ruling Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) is facing an uphill battle to hold on to power in the upcoming state election, according to political analysts. The eight-party GRS led by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor is expected to struggle to meet voter expectations that include bread and butter issues, jobs, infrastructure needs and resolution on Sabah rights. Observers do not rule out another hung result in the polls, with winning political parties cobbling together a new coalition government that could be led by GRS if it wins sufficient seats to be at the negotiating table. "At this point, it seems no party will be able to gain more than 20 of the 73 state seats. We may have Madani 2.0 in Sabah," Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) lecturer Dr Romzi Ationg said. Romzi foresees the next Sabah government being formed by parties collaborating after contesting against each other, a situation similar to the formation of the Madani government of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim after the 2022 general election. "GRS seems all ready for the state election, but I am unsure about its chances to win. "Voters throughout Sabah are talking about the videos (bribery allegations), this suggests that GRS is in dire need to explain themselves," Romzi said, adding that local sentiments and federal-state relations, among others, are on the minds of voters. Political analyst Tony Paridi Bagang from UiTM Sabah campus said that a hung state assembly might emerge after the election only if there was no electoral pact among the coalition and parties, ending in a free-for-all contest among them. "Voters remain watchful as they anticipate the formation of political alliances ahead of the upcoming election, with no clear pact having yet emerged. "(While) the sentiment favouring a locally-led government continues to gain traction, it is increasingly tempered by public dissatisfaction over the slow pace in resolving infrastructure problems and perceptual issues stemming from recent political controversies, particularly allegations of corruption," he said. At the just-concluded state assembly meeting on Tuesday (July 8), he said that GRS had held up its report card, showcasing its achievements under the Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) development plan. "These accomplishments will likely serve as a key factor in persuading the public to give them a fresh mandate in the upcoming election," Bagang added. Hajiji's Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (Gagasan Rakyat) is the anchor party of GRS, while two non-Muslim native based parties - Sabah STAR led by Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan and Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS), under acting president Datuk Seri Dr Joachim Gunsalam - are major partners. GRS is keen to continue working as a coalition partner with Sabah Pakatan Harapan, which came to the rescue of Hajiji's state government after Sabah Barisan Nasional, led by Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin, pulled out its support for GRS in January 2023. Both Sabah Barisan and Sabah Pakatan, who are major partners in the Federal Government, are working on a seat-sharing formula. Observers expect Sabah Barisan to field candidates in GRS contested seats, while both parties will not contest in seats allocated for Sabah Pakatan. Remaining in opposition at the state level, though part of the Madani government, are Parti Warisan led by former chief minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal and Parti KDM under acting president Prescilla Peter, the daughter of jailed party president Datuk Peter Anthony. Both parties with substantial political influence have maintained that they will go solo in the election. Other national parties like Perikatan Nasional's Bersatu and PAS are also expected to enter the fray with several other local parties that have resurfaced.

Ukraine detains Chinese father and son for alleged espionage
BU officers detain one of the Chinese nationals in Kyiv on suspicion of espionage related to Ukraine's Neptune missile technology. Photo published on July 9, 2025. - Photo: SBU/Telegram KYIV, (Ukraine): Ukraine's SBU security service said Wednesday (July 9) it had detained a Chinese father and his son who had allegedly tried to smuggle navy missile technology out of the war-torn country. Relations between Kyiv and Beijing, a key Russian ally, are strained. Ukraine and the West accuse China of enabling the Russian invasion through trade and of supplying technology, including for deadly drone attacks. Ukraine also says dozens of Chinese citizens have been recruited by Russia's army and sent to fight. The SBU "detained two citizens of the People's Republic of China in Kyiv who were attempting to illegally export secret documentation on the Ukrainian RK-360MC Neptune missile system to China," the agency said in a statement. The son is a 24-year-old former student of a technical university in Kyiv, it said, adding that the father, who lives in China, had travelled to Ukraine to coordinate his son's "espionage activities". If convicted, they face up to 15 years in prison on espionage charges. Kyiv used the anti-ship Neptune missile to destroy the flagship of Russia's Black Sea Fleet, Moskva, in the early days of the more than three-year war. In April, Ukraine's military captured two Chinese nationals and said it had details of dozens more who were fighting for the Russian army. Beijing rejected the allegations that its citizens were being recruited en masse to fight for Russia as groundless and irresponsible. Moscow and Beijing struck a "no limits" partnership on the eve of Russia's February 2022 invasion, and have since deepened political, military and economic cooperation. - AFP
