Ramanan slams misuse of his name, urges public to trust only official statements
Ramanan, who is also the deputy entrepreneur development and cooperatives minister, said any official media statements would only be issued through his office or via his official social media platforms.
In a statement, he also criticised the irresponsible parties who have become "desperate" for political gain, and urged the public to remain cautious.
"As I suggested during my closing speech at the PKR National Congress last week, the phenomenon of spreading defamatory material is becoming more rampant, and party members must counter it with drastic measures," he said.

[UPDATED] Fuziah: PH and BN tie up in Sabah set in stone, but cooperation with GRS welcomed
KOTA KINABALU: PKR secretary-general Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh has confirmed the Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) alliance in Sabah for the upcoming state election. "PKR always welcomes cooperation with any party in facing the Sabah state election," she said. "PKR believes it is a win-win combination. It is a win for the people of Sabah, and also a win for all component parties in the cooperation," she told the New Straits Times. Yesterday, the Chief Minister and Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) chairman Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor reiterated his commitment to work with Sabah PH for the upcoming state election. He attributed this willingness to work with PH to their leaders' support during the attempt to topple the GRS-led state government in 2023. However, Hajiji said that the people of Sabah should vote wisely to ensure GRS, a local-based coalition, dominates the political scene in the state. Sabah Parti Keadilan Rakyat chief Datuk Mustapha Sakmud had said that despite PH eyeing over 20 seats, both coalitions would still have to sit down to negotiate on which seats to contest.

Bangladesh seeks Malaysia's backing for Asean membership during meeting with Nurul Izzah
NEW DELHI, July 28 — Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) deputy president Nurul Izzah Anwar called on Bangladesh interim leader Muhammad Yunus in Dhaka on Sunday. Yunus, during the meeting, sought Malaysia's support for Bangladesh to join the Association of South-east Asian Nations (Asean). 'We want to become a part of Asean, and we will need your support,' he told Nurul Izzah, according to a Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha report. Bangladesh applied to become an Asean sectoral dialogue partner in 2020. Yunus also invited Malaysian companies to invest in Bangladesh's growing economy. 'Asia is ageing rapidly, but Bangladesh has a lot of young people. Half of our population is under the age of 27. Set up your industries here and export from Bangladesh. It will help both our economies,' he said. The interim government's chief advisor informed the PKR deputy chief about Bangladesh's political reforms following last year's uprising, which ended Sheikh Hasina's nearly 16-year rule. Nurul Izzah spoke at Dhaka University on Sunday at a conference marking the first anniversary of the July Revolution. She also offered her condolences during the meeting with Yunus and at the conference over the loss of lives in the recent fighter jet crash at Milestone School in Dhaka. — Bernama

Pakatan eyes 25 seats in polls pact with GRS
KOTA KINABALU: Pakatan Harapan aims to contest up to 25 seats in an electoral pact with Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS). Sabah PKR chief Datuk Mustapha Sakmud said he expected the seat distribution to be ironed out soon. 'It has to be discussed with GRS, mainly PGRS (Gagasan Rakyat). We welcome the cooperation. The next step is to discuss seats,' he said after the Gagasan Rakyat annual general assembly here yesterday. Mustapha said Sabah Pakatan would like to contest between 23 and 25 of the 73 seats up for grabs. Sabah PKR won two seats – Inanam and Api Api – in the 2020 state election. It was earlier reported that PKR was eyeing between 13 and 18 seats, with Amanah seeking five, DAP six to eight and Upko up to eight. Mustapha said the pact with GRS was a positive development for political stability in Sabah. 'I want to thank the chief minister for upholding cooperation between GRS and Pakatan. As a Pakatan leader, I welcome it. I think it is good for Sabah and Sabahans,' he added.
