A step closer to enhanced elders' rights
The Women, Family and Community Development Minister said it is expected to be tabled in Parliament next year.
Nancy said her ministry plans to submit the draft to the Attorney-General's Chambers by the end of this year.
At the moment, she said, the ministry is engaging in further consultations with industry players and state governments, including those in Sabah and Sarawak.
'What we are doing now is that we need to go back to the industry players, the stakeholders, to talk to them again. And we also have to refer to every state.
'So this is an ongoing thing because the Bill is not just for us in the peninsula. It's also for various states, especially those in the Borneo side,' she told a press conference after launching the Asean + Republic of Korea Conference on Care and Support for Older Persons here yesterday, Bernama reported.
Also present were Deputy Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Dr Noraini Ahmad and Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Asean, Lee Jang-keun.

Time running out for Sabah to take control of its carbon sovereignty, activists and state reps warn
KOTA KINABALU: Environmental groups and state leaders want Sabah to assert its rights before the Climate Change Bill is tabled in Parliament this year or risk losing control of its carbon assets, just as it did with oil and gas. They warn that without firm state legislation in place, Sabah may be forced to comply with federal climate policies drafted without its full input, repeating past mistakes that cost the state control over petroleum, palm oil, and its territorial seas. The state does not have a clear carbon policy even after the Sabah Climate Action Council was set up last year, they noted. Concerns are also mounting that Putrajaya may fast-track national climate laws that override state jurisdiction, weakening Sabah's ability to manage its own forests – the very ecosystems that make it Malaysia's largest carbon sink. Environmental NGO Future Alam Borneo chairman Anton Ngui said Sabah must act decisively before it is too late. "If we fail to assert our rights over our carbon resources, we risk losing control over one of our most valuable assets. 'Sabah is a net carbon sink, and we should be in a leadership position when it comes to national climate decisions and international representation,' he said in a statement on Wednesday (July 2). Anton said Sabah's ecological advantage is also an untapped economic opportunity that could push the state forward in climate finance, green technology and sustainability-linked investment. 'There is an opportunity here for Sabah to be in a globally significant position. This can complement our labour-intensive agriculture sector and sputtering industrialisation plan,' he said. He urged Sabah leaders to be 'on the ball' and insist on strong state representation at the federal level. 'Once again, we are staring at the possibility of Sabah being legislated out of its own forests if we remain slow or silent," he said. Earlier this year, Sabah Climate Change adviser Datuk Darrel Webber, when speaking at the Carbon Sovereign Sabah (CSS) briefing, said Sabah's decades-long forest conservation efforts have made it a vital carbon sink that offsets emissions from other regions. 'It is crucial that Sabah does not lose its ability to manage these resources. Once control is lost, it is very difficult to reclaim,' he warned. Tungku assemblyman Assaffal Panglima Alian echoed these concerns and called for stronger, state-led legal frameworks to protect Sabah's interests. Senator Datuk Nelson Wences Angang said that while federal climate efforts are commendable, Sabah must have a seat at the table to ensure its rights are not sidelined. WWF-Malaysia's head of conservation for Sabah, Dr Robecca Jumin, noted that Sabah had already taken a step forward by amending its Forest Enactment 1968 to pave the way for carbon governance. 'But delays in building on that momentum could weaken Sabah's position, especially once federal laws are in place,' she said. Sabah Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan also addressed the issue in the state assembly in June last year, warning that Sabah must move quickly to pass its own carbon legislation or risk being boxed in by national policies.

Timor-Leste's ASEAN membership to boost regional reach and partnerships
KUALA LUMPUR: After 26 years, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is set to welcome its first new member since 1999 as Timor-Leste nears full accession. This milestone carries significant implications for both the nation and the regional bloc amid shifting geopolitical and economic dynamics. Timor-Leste's inclusion is expected to reinforce ASEAN's strategic influence and global relevance. Political analyst Professor Camilo Ximenes Almeida from the National University of Timor-Leste highlighted the potential for joint economic growth and regional stability. 'The integration of Timor-Leste represents a strategic opportunity for ASEAN, expanding its interregional relations and fostering a stronger, more united bloc,' he told Bernama. The path to membership has been long. Timor-Leste, Southeast Asia's youngest nation, applied in 2011, nine years after gaining independence in 2002. Despite challenges, Dili has shown strong commitment to meeting ASEAN's rigorous requirements. In November 2022, ASEAN granted Timor-Leste observer status, allowing participation in meetings and summits. With a population of 1.3 million, Timor-Leste relies heavily on oil and gas exports, though agriculture and services are growing contributors to its economy. The country recorded a GDP growth of 4% in 2024, up from 2.4% in 2023. Malaysia has played a key role in supporting Timor-Leste's bid, including a US\$200,000 pledge to the ASEAN Secretariat and technical assistance through the Malaysian Technical Cooperation Programme (MTCP), which has trained 319 Timorese officials. 'This support strengthens bilateral ties and underscores ASEAN's inclusivity,' Ximenes noted. Timor-Leste's membership could also introduce new dynamics, particularly in peace-building. Its reconciliation experience may serve as a model for other ASEAN members, including Myanmar. Additionally, Timor-Leste's Lusophone heritage could enhance ASEAN's ties with Portuguese-speaking regions in Europe, Africa, and Latin America, fostering trade and cultural exchanges. Full membership is expected to be formalised at the 47th ASEAN Summit in October, pending completion of the Full Membership Roadmap, which covers political, economic, and socio-cultural criteria. ASEAN, founded in 1967, currently has 10 members, with Cambodia being the last to join in 1999.

China, Russia to sign SEANWFZ treaty as US reviews decision
KUALA LUMPUR: China and Russia have confirmed their intention to sign the Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone Treaty (SEANWFZ), while the United States is still reviewing the agreement, according to Malaysian Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan. The participation of major global powers in the treaty is expected to reinforce Southeast Asia's status as a peaceful region free from nuclear threats. 'We have established Southeast Asia as a peaceful region, and next week, foreign ministers will convene for further discussions,' Mohamad said during Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's engagement session with the Malaysian diaspora in Rome. The SEANWFZ, also called the Bangkok Treaty, was signed in 1995 by all 10 ASEAN member states and took effect in 1997. The treaty's protocol requires Nuclear Weapon States (NWS) to respect the zone's non-nuclear status, refrain from threatening nuclear attacks, and avoid actions that undermine the agreement. Malaysia is set to host the 58th ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting (58th AMM) and related sessions from July 8 to 11 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC). The country assumed the ASEAN Chairmanship in January 2025, succeeding Laos under the theme 'Inclusivity and Sustainability.' This marks Malaysia's fifth time leading ASEAN, having previously chaired in 1977, 1997, 2005, and 2015.
