Drug menace a shared challenge, says Miri Resident
Photo shows the MTMD Miri in session. — Sarawak Public Communications Unit photo MIRI (July 4): The drug issue is not the sole responsibility of the National Anti-Drugs Agency (AADK) and other enforcement bodies, but a global problem that requires collective action from all levels of society. In stating this, Miri Resident Galong Luang says drug abuse cuts across socioeconomic status, age, education level, religion, and race, making it a pressing challenge for all. 'This is a shared challenge that affects everyone. 'Various initiatives have been intensified through collaboration with stakeholders and grassroots communities at the national, state, or district levels, regardless of the obstacles faced,' he said in a speech delivered by administrative officer Edward Tawang, who represented him at the division-level Anti-Drug Council Meeting (MTMD) here today. Galong called upon all government agencies, departments, local organisations, and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), as well as community and grassroots leaders, to work together in ensuring that anti-drug efforts across the division could be carried out effectively and efficiently. He said one of the council's roles was to monitor and coordinate the implementation of anti-drug policies, action plans, strategies, and programmes among all relevant agencies, departments, and organisations. 'The council is also tasked with evaluating performance, identifying implementation issues at the divisional level, and referring them to the state-level MTMD. 'In addition, the council submits periodic progress reports to the state-level MTMD and may establish special committees, if necessary, to carry out specific assignments,' he added. Also present at the meeting were AADK Miri chief and MTMD secretary Rosmah Nasir. aadk Miri Resident Galong Luang MTMD national anti-drugs agency

KUCHING (July 4): A total of 195 residents from Bario took part in the Integrity and Anti-Corruption Outreach Programme held at SMK Bario recently, organised by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Sarawak in collaboration with the Bario Secondary School Alumni Association (BSSAA). The programme began with three concurrent knowledge-sharing sessions, each tailored to students, educators, and community leaders. The first session, held in the school hall and conducted by MACC senior superintendent Maini William, focused on instilling integrity values among youths while emphasising their role in cultivating a corruption-free culture from a young age. The second session, conducted by MACC Sarawak deputy director (prevention) Wan Ahmad Nidzam on the first floor of the public library, targeted teachers from SMK Bario and SK Bario. The session highlighted the responsibility of educators as agents of change in shaping a culture of integrity within schools and the wider community. Simultaneously, the third session was held on the ground floor of the public library for local community leaders and government department heads. Led by MACC Sarawak director Hasbilah Mohamad Salleh, the discussion centred on strengthening clean, ethical, and corruption-free governance at the community and departmental levels. The event continued with speeches from SMK Bario principal Robin Amir, BSSAA president Datin Pearl Masna Mohan, and Bario Sub-District administrative officer Richard Usah, representing Deputy Minister in Sarawak Premier's Department (Labour, Immigration and Project Monitoring) and Mulu assemblyman Datuk Gerawat Gala, also an alumnus of SMK Bario. The programme's official launch was performed by Hasbilah, who also officiated at the opening of 'The Lentern Nook', an open reading corner established in SMK Bario. Souvenirs were presented to the school and BSSAA, followed by a Corruption-Free Pledge (Ikrar Bebas Rasuah) led by the community and witnessed by Richard. In the evening, the MACC Sarawak delegation led by Hasbilah visited the Bario Asal Longhouse upon special invitation from the BSSAA. Pearl, hailing from the longhouse community, facilitated the visit. 'The spirit of honesty and cooperation that has long been central to Kelabit culture is in line with the principles of integrity championed by MACC. 'We hope this visit will further strengthen the bond between MACC and the Bario community,' said Hasbilah in the session with the villagers. Bario MACC outreach programme

Russians, Cambodians arrested after impersonating Hun Sen to perpetrate fraud
Two Russian men and their two Cambodian accomplices were arrested for an online fraud operation which impersonated high-level officials to encourage investors. - Anti-Cyber Crime Department PHNOM PENH: Two Russian nationals and two Cambodians have been arrested by the Anti-Cyber Crime Department for impersonating Senate president Hun Sen and other high-ranking officials on Telegram. They used to fake accounts to encourage members of the public to invest in fraudulent investment schemes which promised high profits. On Friday (July 4), the department announced that it had conducted an investigation into the scheme, which had duped people out of more than US$40,000. Besides impersonating Hun Sen, the perpetrators also faked accounts of Heng Sour, Minister of Labour and Vocational Training, and Kim Santepheap, secretary of state at the Ministry of Justice. Initially, on June 21, anti-cyber crime officers detained one Cambodian suspect who was responsible for receiving money from the scam victims. Further investigation led to the arrest of three additional suspects on June 23, including two Russians and one Cambodian woman. According to the authorities, the Cambodian woman facilitated the transfer of funds from the initial suspect and converted the money into electronic funds, likely cryptocurrency. The four suspects have been referred to the Phnom Penh Municipal Court for legal proceedings. 'Please exercise caution before investing online and thoroughly verify the sources of online investment promotions to avoid financial losses or damage to your personal interests,' warned the department. - The Phnom Penh Post/ANN
