Dr Zaliha: JWP, agencies committed to implementing Kembara Diraja
In a statement on her Facebook page, she said the tour would provide an opportunity for His Majesty to personally engage with the people across the three Federal Territories and distribute zakat aid to those in need.
Yesterday, Sultan Ibrahim announced that he would embark on the Kembara Diraja across the Federal Territories to observe the people's living conditions firsthand and distribute zakat to the poor and the eight eligible asnaf groups.
His Majesty made the remarks during the 2025 Investiture Ceremony held in conjunction with his official birthday at Istana Negara yesterday.
Dr Zaliha said JWP also fully supports His Majesty's emphasis on the need for civil servants to uphold the principle of Loyalty to the King and Country, which aligns with the Harmoni work culture introduced in the Federal Territories as a foundation for good governance.
"As a policy-implementing body, JWP personnel will remain committed to enhancing the delivery of public services that are efficient, with integrity and people-oriented, in line with the spirit of Malaysia Madani," she said. – BERNAMA

Four senior govt officials in the running for Johor state secretary
JOHOR BARU: Four senior government officials are said to be in the running to become the next state secretary following the transfer of Tan Sri Dr Azmi Rohani to Istana Negara from July 1. They are Johor financial officer Datuk Mohammed Ridha Abd Kadir, Johor deputy state secretary (development) Datuk Asman Shah Abd Rahman, Johor lands and mines director Mohammed Shakib Ali, and Kumpulan Prasarana Rakyat Johor Sdn Bhd (KPRJ) chief executive Datuk Lukman Abu Bakar. A state government official said that talk has been rife that Johor will get a new state secretary, especially after Johor Ruler Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar ascended the throne as King of Malaysia last year. "Whoever is appointed by the Johor Civil Service (JCS) will be based on merit and will need to know how to handle the fast pace of development taking place in the state, especially in regards to the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ). "I am sure there will be a lot of pressure for the JCS to be able to adapt and keep up in terms of cutting red tape and to be investor-friendly,' the official said, adding that an official announcement would be made soon. Meanwhile, news of the appointment of the new state secretary intensified when Sultan Ibrahim met Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi along with Mohammed Ridha and Mohammed Shakib during an audience with His Majesty in Istana Pasir Pelangi on July 3. Last week, Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar announced that Azmi has been appointed Datuk Pengelola Bijaya Diraja at Istana Negara beginning July 1. He said that His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim had consented to Azmi's appointment as Comptroller of the Royal Household. Shamsul expressed confidence that with Azmi's vast experience and credibility, he would be able to strengthen the administration at Istana Negara and carry out his duties to assist His Majesty as the Head of State. Shamsul said that Azmi, 59, has served in the civil service for 33 years. Azmi served as Johor state secretary for eight years and six months. Azmi holds a Bachelor's degree in Development Science (Economics and Management) from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, as well as a Master's degree in Human Resource Development and a PhD in Land Administration and Development from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.

Zaliha denies rumours Tuaran MP appointed Labuan Corp chairman
Federal territories minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa said the government is committed to finding a candidate who will serve the best interest of Labuan's socio-economic development. LABUAN : Federal territories minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa has dismissed rumours that Tuaran MP Wilfred Madius Tangau has been appointed as the new chairman of Labuan Corporation. She said no appointment has been made thus far, and that Putrajaya, through the federal territories department, is still evaluating several candidates for the leadership role at Labuan's local authority. 'The rumours and speculation circulating about the Tuaran MP assuming the position are not true. We are carefully scrutinising several potential individuals for the chairman's post,' she said in a statement to Bernama today. Zaliha said the government remains committed to identifying the most suitable candidate who will serve in the best interest of Labuan's socio-economic development. 'We are seriously looking into the right person to lead Labuan Corporation. We want someone capable of driving the island's growth and addressing the needs of the community,' she said. She urged the public to refrain from spreading unfounded claims and speculation, which could mislead and confuse the people of Labuan. The post of Labuan Corp chairman became vacant following former Kimanis MP Anifah Aman concluding his term last month.

Troops must not share sensitive content on social media, says minister
Defence minister Khaled Nordin said armed forces commanders must issue firm instructions to their personnel on the responsible use of social media. (Bernama pic) TAWAU : Members of the Malaysian armed forces have been reminded to refrain from uploading sensitive content on social media, particularly related to security assets, to prevent hostile parties from identifying the nation's defence capabilities. Defence minister Khaled Nordin said he was confident that armed forces commanders would issue firm instructions to their personnel to use social media responsibly and avoid compromising national security. 'Sometimes in their eagerness to showcase training or equipment, some personnel may unintentionally reveal where such assets are stored. 'This could expose our strengths to those with ill intent,' he told reporters after officiating the Tawau 2025 Civil-Military Cooperation (Cimic) carnival at the Tawau Sports Complex today. Khaled was responding to a reminder issued yesterday by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Ibrahim, who cautioned military personnel against sharing everything on social media, particularly sensitive information related to troop movements and operations. Meanwhile, Khaled said the defence ministry continues to acquire strategic assets annually to strengthen national security. These are not off-the-shelf purchases, he stressed, but custom orders tailored to the armed forces's operational needs across land, air and sea to ensure suitability and effective deployment. 'We have already procured 18 FA-50 aircraft from South Korea, three littoral mission ships and are continuing with the construction of the littoral combat ships, alongside radar purchases to bolster our national defence,' he said. Commenting on ongoing global conflicts, including in Russia-Ukraine, Gaza, Iran-Israel, and India-Pakistan, he said these developments highlight the importance of Malaysia prioritising the acquisition of technology-driven defence assets. 'We are also aware of ongoing tensions in the South China Sea, which remain a serious concern. The government is committed to ensuring balanced defence preparedness between Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia,' he added.
