‘Political stability brings real gains': Azalina hails govt policies for driving economic growth, people-first aid
KUALA LUMPUR, July 25 — The MADANI Government's success in achieving political stability has been the main driver enabling comprehensive policies that directly benefit the people, says Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said. She said this stability had allowed the government not only to attain commendable economic growth but also to translate that growth into tangible assistance and support for the people. 'This has been made possible following the implementation of MADANI policies and programmes aimed at good and principled governance,' she said in a statement uploaded to her Facebook account here today. As such, she called on all parties to maintain this strong unity and cohesion, focusing on strengthening the nation for the sake of the country's and the people's wellbeing. The minister was commenting on the various 'Appreciation for the People' initiatives announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on Wednesday, which she said reflected the government's ongoing commitment to developing efforts and initiatives that prioritise the people. Earlier, Azalina also attended the weekly Cabinet Meeting chaired by the Prime Minister at the Perdana Putra Building in Putrajaya. The meeting was also attended by both Deputy Prime Ministers Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, members of the Cabinet, and Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar. On Wednesday, Anwar announced several initiatives as a gesture of the government's appreciation to the people, including a one-off RM100 cash assistance via MyKad under the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (SARA) programme and the postponement of toll rate hikes for 10 highways. Anwar also announced that the price of RON95 fuel would be reduced to RM1.99 per litre following the fuel subsidy rationalisation plan, as well as the declaration of an additional public holiday on Sept 15 in conjunction with this year's Malaysia Day celebration. — Bernama

Thailand says open to Malaysia mediating in Cambodia conflict
Frame grab from UGC video footage taken and posted on Facebook by Chatchak Ratsamikaeo on July 24, 2025 shows smoke billowing from the roof of a convenience store attached to a petrol station in Sisaket province after it was hit by a rocket strike from Cambodia. – AFP photo BANGKOK (July 25): Thailand is open to Malaysia mediating in efforts to find a negotiated solution to its bloody conflict with Cambodia, its foreign ministry spokesman told AFP today. The two neighbours are locked in their most intense fighting in more than a decade, battling with artillery and ground troops over sections of their disputed 800-kilometre border. The crisis will come before the UN Security Council today and multiple major powers have called for a ceasefire and negotiations. Thai foreign ministry spokesman Nikorndej Balankura said Bangkok was open to talks, possibly aided by Malaysia. 'We are ready, if Cambodia would like to settle this matter via diplomatic channels, bilaterally, or even through Malaysia, we are ready to do that. But so far we have not had any response,' Nikorndej told AFP. Malaysia currently holds the chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) regional bloc, of which Thailand and Cambodia are both members. Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said in a Facebook post late Thursday he had spoken with Thailand's acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet. He called on both sides to stop fighting and seek a diplomatic solution. 'I welcome the positive signals and willingness shown by both Bangkok and Phnom Penh to consider this path forward,' he wrote. Nikorndej said that in the call, Anwar sought to explore 'whether we can deescalate the situation… whether there is the possibility to hold talks'. But the two sides traded deadly artillery salvos today for a second day, with acting PM Phumtham warning of a risk that the clashes could develop into war. – AFP cambodia clash malaysia Thailand war
