Ceasefire in focus as Thai, Cambodian leaders gather in Putrajaya
PUTRAJAYA: Leaders from Thailand and Cambodia are expected to meet here at 3pm on Monday (July 28) for a high-level negotiation aimed at halting deadly border clashes that have erupted between the two Southeast Asian neighbours. The conflict, which flared up on July 25 near Cambodia's northern border, has already claimed more than 20 lives on the Thai side. Cambodian authorities have reported five soldiers and eight civilians killed, with thousands of residents displaced across both sides. Tensions have been brewing since a fatal skirmish on May 28 near the disputed Preah Vihear border zone, where a Cambodian soldier was reportedly shot. The 817-kilometre undemarcated stretch between the two countries has long been a flashpoint for military and diplomatic disputes. On Sunday, the Thai government confirmed its participation in the regional consultation hosted by Malaysia, expressing hope that the talks would pave the way for informed decisions and help restore calm. Thai Government spokesperson Jirayu Huangsap said the meeting would serve to consider peace proposals submitted by both sides. In an event here on Sunday (July 27), Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said that he is expected to chair the meeting, having held separate discussions with Thai and Cambodian leaders over the past week. He said global leaders, including US President Donald Trump and representatives from China, have urged both parties to seek a peaceful resolution. - Bernama

Anwar partly to blame for public anger: LDP
Published on: Monday, July 28, 2025 Published on: Mon, Jul 28, 2025 Text Size: David said over the past year, Anwar's government has faced widespread criticism for controversies such as the delayed appointment of the Chief Justice. Such missteps he said have eroded public trust. Kota Kinabalu: The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) said while it does not support 'topple Anwar' movement, the Unity government must shoulder blame for failure to meet public expectations, leading to growing dissatisfaction. 'Anwar (Prime Minister) must demonstrate a firm commitment to practical reforms, rather than resorting to excessive 'performative politics' to please the public,' Vice President David Ong said in a statement. David said over the past year, Anwar's government has faced widespread criticism for controversies such as the delayed appointment of the Chief Justice. Such missteps he said have eroded public trust. 'The core responsibility of a leader is to resolve livelihood issues, not to create unnecessary political spectacles.' Regarding calls for Anwar to step down, David said it must be pursued through legitimate democratic mechanisms. 'Former Prime Minister Tun Mahathir remarked that a prime minister stepping down after losing public trust is a normal occurrence. 'However, we in LDP emphasise that Malaysia's 16th General Election is due by Feb 2028, it is better to let the people make their final judgment at the ballot box. 'We (LDP) criticise the Unity government's weak handling of economic and cost-of-living issues, noting that increased taxation, rising prices and stagnant wages have placed heavy burden on the people,' he said. David said Anwar had made repeated campaign promises to reduce fuel prices, review highway tolls and deliver justice in the Teoh Beng Hock case, but there has been little visible progress, leaving voters disappointed. He said since taking office, Anwar has shown 'more theatrics than tangible results.' 'The nation urgently needs structural reforms and pragmatic economic policies, rather than political shows and empty slogans,' he said. 'Frequent changes of leadership have not only damaged economic confidence but also caused international investors to adopt a wait-and-see attitude, leaving the country's direction increasingly unclear,' he added. * 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?
