KSN Awaits Full Report On Fake MC Case Linked To Civil Servant
According to him, the investigation is still ongoing and he has yet to receive a full report on the case.
'(The investigation) is still ongoing and the report will be submitted to me soon,' he told reporters after attending the Melaka-level Jelajah Taat Setia MADANI Programme at the Melaka International Trade Centre (MITC) in Ayer Keroh, here today.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh officiated the closing ceremony of the programme, which was also attended by Melaka State Secretary Datuk Azhar Arshad.
The media yesterday reported that three individuals, including a heart patient, had been arrested over their suspected involvement in the sale of fake MCs.
Their activities were uncovered following an internal probe into a policeman who frequently went on sick leave, with the MCs he submitted found to be suspicious.
Meanwhile, in his speech at the programme, Shamsul Azri said civil servants' loyalty to leaders should not be seen as personal, but rather as loyalty to the principles of constitutional democracy.
'As civil servants, we serve a legitimate government in accordance with the law. We are not bound to any political party, but to the oath of office we have taken to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law.
'Loyalty to leaders is not individualistic in nature but a means of strengthening national stability, enhancing administrative effectiveness, and ensuring the continuity of lawfully formulated national policies,' he said.

Umno must give youth the opportunity to make decisions
This step is crucial for Umno to keep pace with the evolving nature of today's political landscape, which is no longer driven by rhetoric. Umno President Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi attended the 2025 Lumut Umno Division Delegates Meeting at Dewan Merdeka, Manjung Municipal Council recently. Bernama FILE PIX SHAH ALAM – Umno should open up greater opportunities for youth to actively participate in the party's decision-making process by involving them directly in leadership teams that work collaboratively to interpret and communicate the party's ideals in a way that speaks to the younger generation. Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) political analyst Professor Datuk Dr Sivamurugan Pandian said this approach should be supported by the introduction of progressive policies that align with the aspirations of today's youth. Doing so, he said, would encourage young voters to assess political affiliation based on values and direction rather than personal loyalty to individual figures. Umno must ensure that no significant generational gap exists. Inset: Sivamurugan He emphasised that this step was crucial for Umno to keep pace with the evolving nature of today's political landscape, which was no longer driven by rhetoric. 'The reality is that politics is dynamic and no longer static. Umno must respond to this dynamism through substantive transformation, moving beyond mere historical values or legacy, though those still have their place. 'Umno must ensure there is no significant generational gap and instead build a leadership continuity that includes the systematic development of future members,' he told Sinar on Monday. He was responding to recent remarks by Umno vice presidents Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani and Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail, who both called on the party to adopt a fresh strategy to win over younger voters. Umno vice president Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani. Bernama FILE PIX Johari emphasised the need for Umno to move away from politics rooted in nostalgia and instead embrace a more dynamic and forward-looking approach, acknowledging that no political party can realistically expect to secure a clear majority in future general elections. Wan Rosdy, meanwhile, highlighted the importance of adopting fresh strategies to reclaim lost seats, including the Kepala Batas constituency in Penang, ahead of the upcoming 16th General Election. Building on this, Sivamurugan echoed the concerns raised by the party's senior leadership. He stressed that Umno must also remain consistent in advancing an inclusive and progressive narrative that focuses on real, everyday issues affecting the public. 'The issues frequently raised require strong commitment, such as the cost of living, taxation, education, housing, healthcare, digitalisation and democracy. 'In the meantime, Umno should practise a form of moderate, realistic politics, humble and empathetic without compromising its ongoing defence of Malay-Muslim principles, but doing so through a more innovative approach suitable for the current age of artificial intelligence (AI),' he said. He added that communication is now the most vital element in politics, as it needs to connect with people's hearts and emotions. Therefore, he said, networks and communication channels must be built to enable sincere, trustworthy and integrity-based engagement.

This is one percentage point higher compared to what had been announced in April. 08 Jul 2025 08:52am US President Donald Trump. Photo by Andrew Caballero-Reynolds/AFP KUALA LUMPUR - The United States has imposed a higher tariff of 25 percent on any and all Malaysian products sent into the country, separate from all sectoral tariffs, effective Aug 1, this year. This is one percentage point higher compared to what had been announced in April. In a letter to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim posted on Truth Social account on Monday, US President Donald Trump said "the 25 per cent number is far less than what is needed to eliminate the trade deficit disparity we have with your country". In a letter to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim posted on Truth Social account on Monday, US President Donald Trump said "the 25 per cent number is far less than what is needed to eliminate the trade deficit disparity we have with your country". Photo by Bernama However, the letter also said that there would be no tariff if Malaysia, or Malaysian companies, decide to build or manufacture products within the United States and that Washington "will do everything possible to get approvals quickly, professionally, and routinely - in other words, in a matter of weeks". Trump also said that if Malaysia decided to raise tariffs, the number that the country imposed will be added onto the 25 per cent that US is charging. Malaysia has been negotiating the US tariff with Washington since April, with the aim to lessen the 24 per cent tariff imposed earlier, with the latest talks held on June 18 this year. This announcement came ahead of the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's first trip to Kuala Lumpur for the ASEAN-US post ministerial conference and other meetings of the 58th ASEAN Foreign Ministers Meeting and related meetings starting today. - BERNAMA More Like This
