Madani communities to get simplified info within 24 hours after announcements
'For technical matters, it may be difficult, but we want the Madani Community to get the simplest explanation,' Fahmi said during the 2025 Peninsular Malaysia Madani Community Retreat, yesterday.
The event, held at Mini Stadium Bistari in Ayer Keroh, also marked the launch of the National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang 2025 campaign.
Around 2,300 participants from 1,406 Madani Communities attended the retreat. Also present were Melaka Science, Technology, Innovation and Digital Communication Committee chairman Datuk Fairul Nizam Roslan, Senior Division Secretary (Management) of the Ministry of Communications Mazlan Abd Mutalib, and Information Department director-general Julina Johan.
Fahmi highlighted that one of the major upcoming announcements is the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), set to be tabled by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on July 31. He acknowledged that such plans often contain complex technical details but assured that simplified breakdowns would be provided to Madani Community members for easier dissemination.
'But within 24 hours, the Madani Community will receive simplified explanations and breakdowns so that they can communicate the information in an easy-to-understand way to their respective communities,' he said.
Addressing recent political developments, Fahmi dismissed concerns over Anwar's position as Prime Minister following a rally in Kuala Lumpur. He clarified that changing a Prime Minister requires either a parliamentary vote of no confidence or a general election.
'Previously, the Prime Minister had already told (the Opposition) to move a vote of no confidence, but to this day the motion has not been submitted,' he said. - Bernama

13MP flood mitigation, climate plans lauded
PETALING JAYA: The RM20 billion allocation for flood mitigation projects nationwide under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) has been viewed as a positive step to protect lives and property, especially with the growing impacts of climate change. The 13MP outlined key climate mitigation and adaptation efforts, but experts stress that lasting political will and public awareness are vital for sustained impact. Pertubuhan Alam Sekitar Sejahtera Malaysia president Mohd Yusaimi Md Yusof told theSun that long-term success depends on planning and proper implementation. 'The upgrades to rivers and drainage systems must consider current capacities, environmental impacts and climate resilience to ensure the projects remain effective for decades. 'Better water flow management and upgraded infrastructure are crucial, as current facilities are based on outdated capacities.' He said early warning systems using accessible technology are important, so communities can respond quickly during disasters. On Thursday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced that the government would table a National Climate Change Bill and introduce a National Adaptation Plan under the 13MP to regulate Malaysia's climate response and strengthen national preparedness against the impacts of global warming. Mohd Yusaimi said the Climate Change Bill must go beyond being a symbolic policy and be enforced at federal, state and local levels, given that land and forest matters fall under state jurisdiction. He said strong enforcement, accountability and coordination among all levels of government are needed to ensure the Bill translates into action rather than remaining a statement of intent. 'Apart from mitigation, adaptation is equally important. The proposed Bill could help Malaysia prepare for the impacts of climate change. 'All parties must be willing to take action. For example, ensuring that forest cover consists of actual forests, not tree plantations, and addressing issues such as rare earth element mining,' he said. Mohd Yusaimi also said the Bill demonstrates Malaysia's commitment to global climate agreements such as the Paris Agreement, a 2015 treaty under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which could enhance the country's international standing and show that Malaysia is serious about meeting its environmental responsibilities. He highlighted that the introduction of the Bill could raise public awareness about climate change and the importance of collective action to address these challenges. 'The Bill could also strengthen the green economy by encouraging sustainable business practices, innovation and investment in renewable energy and climate friendly industries. 'However, these opportunities must be inclusive and accessible to all segments of society, not just industry players or academia. In many cases, local communities could come up with solutions that are relevant to their specific needs.' Despite the positive outlook, Mohd Yusaimi raised concerns about whether these measures would continue if there is a change in government. 'While the 13MP emphasises strengthening mitigation measures, including flood mitigation projects and better water management to reduce flood risks, the question remains whether these measures would be sustained in the long term. 'If there is a change in government, would current policies also change? Policy continuity is vital. If each administration shifts its priorities, the impact of climate initiatives would be compromised.' He added that the 13MP stresses the importance of public awareness and participation in climate action. 'Communities must be active partners, not just passive spectators. When people are empowered to understand and take part in climate solutions, the outcomes are more sustainable. 'Raising awareness and embedding environmental values in society are just as important as building infrastructure or passing new laws.'

Seramai 12,000 peserta mengambil bahagian dalam acara larian yang terbahagi kepada tiga kategori iaitu sepuluh kilometer (km), lima km, dan tiga km. --fotoBERNAMA (2025) HAK CIPTA TERPELIHARA PUTRAJAYA: Every project under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) will be monitored regularly to ensure there are no delays in implementation, says Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar (pic). Accordingly, the monitoring of projects under the 13MP will be jointly conducted by the Finance and Economy ministries, with reports to be made twice a year. 'This time, we will really make sure that the 13MP is implemented as planned, because it spans a long period until 2030. 'All approved projects must be implemented promptly, because any delay will cause disappointment among the people,' he said after launching the Mappa XX 2025 Run here yesterday. Shamsul Azri said he will personally conduct site visits and carry out spot checks at all 13MP project locations, Bernama reported. 'Our aim is to serve the people. Therefore, we must implement development initiatives without delay and free from bureaucracy,' he said. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, when tabling the 13MP in the Dewan Rakyat, said monitoring will be enhanced through the Policy Implementation Plan Monitoring System. 'The 13MP governance structure will also be mobilised in stages, culminating in reports to the Cabinet,' he said. Under the 13MP, Anwar said infrastructure and public facility projects involving flood mitigation and improved road accessibility are among the people-centric initiatives that will be prioritised from 2026 to 2030. A total of RM20bil has been allocated to implement 103 flood mitigation projects to reduce the risks and impact of such disasters. In addition, one million units of affordable housing will be built by the federal and state governments, as well as private developers, from 2026 to 2035 to enable as many people as possible to live in safe and comfortable homes. Meanwhile, Shamsul Azri expressed appreciation to the approximately 12,000 participants who took part in the Mappa XX 2025 Run in Putrajaya. 'Healthy citizens, prosperous nation. Let's be active and engage in sports,' he said.
