Penang Records RM12.5 Million In Parcel Rent Arrears
He said the majority of the arrears dated back to 2019, when parcel rent payments were first introduced for strata development schemes in the state.
Faizal said the Timur Laut district recorded the highest amount of arrears, involving 32,000 accounts.
'Failure to pay the arrears immediately may result in the issuance of a Notice of Demand via Form 11 under the Strata Titles Act 1985 to the parcel owners involved,' he said in a statement today.
He added that if the strata parcel owner failed to settle the arrears in full within three months from the date the notice was issued, confiscation action could be taken under Section 23 of the same Act.
Faizal said the enforcement action could be carried out by the land administrator, and ownership of the strata parcel would be transferred back to the state authority.
Therefore, he urged all parcel owners involved to settle their parcel rent arrears immediately to avoid confiscation action.
Strata parcel owners with further enquiries may contact the Penang Land and Mines Office or the respective District and Land Offices.

Kelantan Cultivating Onions To Reduce Reliance On Imports By 2030
GENERAL KOTA BHARU, July 15 (Bernama) -- A large-scale onion cultivation project spanning 30.85 hectares across seven districts in Kelantan is expected to reduce Malaysia's reliance on imported onions by 2030. Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Mohd Nassuruddin Daud said Malaysia currently imports all of its onion supply from countries such as India and China. 'For example, in 2022, we imported 685,400 metric tonnes of big and small red onions worth RM1.58 billion. This clearly reflects our heavy dependence on foreign sources,' he said in a statement via a video posted on his Facebook page today. He said the state government, through the Agriculture, Agri-Food Industry and Commodities Committee, is taking steps to strengthen the agriculture sector. This includes onion farming, with several projects approved, ongoing, or in the pipeline in Bachok, Pasir Mas, Pasir Puteh, Jeli, Kuala Krai, Machang and Tanah Merah. In addition, the Kelantan Department of Agriculture has allocated RM100,000 to the Kelantan State Agriculture Development Corporation for onion cultivation at Agro Valley Rong Chenok in Pasir Mas. Mohd Nassuruddin added that a one-hectare pilot onion farming project was launched in Kuala Krai last year, in collaboration with local entrepreneurs and the South Kelantan Development Authority (Kesedar). The project is expected to generate RM1.4 million in returns by 2025. Based on this progress, he said the aim is to gradually cut down on onion imports, and by 2030, produce up to 30 percent of the country's supply locally.

Maori tourism model seen as boost for Orang Asli growth
ROTORUA: The Maori community's success in transforming their village into a global tourism hotspot could serve as a blueprint for Malaysia's Orang Asli settlements, according to Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. During his visit to Rotorua, he highlighted the potential of adopting similar strategies to elevate Orang Asli tourism and socio-economic development. Ahmad Zahid, who is also the Minister of Rural and Regional Development, revealed plans to designate an area in Melaka as an international-class tourism centre for the Orang Asli community. 'Insya-Allah, there will be an area in Melaka designated as an international-class tourism centre for the Orang Asli community,' he said after a roundtable discussion with Maori business leaders. The deputy prime minister emphasised the government's inclusive approach, ensuring no minority group is left behind in national development. He noted that New Zealand prioritises indigenous welfare despite Maori heritage now being present in 70 per cent of the population through intermarriage and cultural integration. Ahmad Zahid, appointed as the coordinator for minority communities, pledged structured and sustainable support for the Orang Asli. 'I will ensure that this community is not left behind,' he said. His delegation also visited Whakarewarewa Living Maori Village and Onuku Farm to study agricultural best practices applicable to Malaysia's rural development. – Bernama

MTRT 2025 Platform To Foster Understanding, Strengthen Unity
KOTA BHARU, July 15 (Bernama) -- The Mosque Tourism Roundtable (MTRT) 2025 serves not only as a discussion platform but also as a medium to raise awareness among mosque management of the vast potential of mosques as tourism products rooted in spirituality, history and community. Deputy Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture Datuk Khairul Firdaus Akbar Khan said the sharing and engagement session demonstrated mosques' readiness to enhance their facilities, services and approach in welcoming visitors from across the country, regardless of religion or race. 'Mosque tourism should be viewed as a bridge that connects visitors to Islamic values, heritage and moderation, while also fostering dialogue between cultures and religions. 'With the commitment of local authorities and the concerted efforts of all parties, I am confident that Malaysia can emerge as a global leader in the tourism sector,' he told Bernama. Khairul Firdaus said that in the context of Malaysia's position as a global leader in Islamic tourism, the ministry's long-term vision was to make mosques among the key tourism products that showcased the wealth of Islamic heritage, architecture and universal values. 'We have mosques with impressive architecture and a wealth of historical significance, ranging from centuries-old structures to modern designs that reflect the country's progress. 'However, this physical beauty must go hand in hand with effective presentation so that tourists can appreciate the cultural, spiritual and social values embodied by the mosque,' he said. Khairul Firdaus said the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC), through the Islamic Tourism Centre (ITC), was committed to expanding mosque involvement in the tourism sector, including those in rural areas and states with their own tourism potential. 'We also encourage closer collaboration between mosques and industry players, including travel agencies, hotels and local authorities.
