Ramasamy Withdraws Suit Against Chow Over Batu Kawan Land Deal
The consent judgment was recorded by Sessions Court Judge Helmi Ghani here after lawyer Dr Shamsher Thind Singh, representing Ramasamy, informed the court that his client agreed to withdraw the suit without the liberty to re-file it.
Ramasamy initiated defamation proceedings against Chow on July 18 last year, over a statement published on Chow's official Facebook page on Oct 3, 2023, which Ramasamy alleged gravely damaged his reputation.

Rally Ends Peacefully Without Incident
KUALA LUMPUR, July 26 (Bernama) -- The rally at Dataran Merdeka today concluded peacefully without any untoward incident with about 18,000 individuals attending. Acting Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Mohamed Usuf Jan Mohamad said they were grateful for the good cooperation shown by participants, who did not create any problems throughout the rally. 'Everything went smoothly, even though there were one or two things that might not have been agreed upon initially, but were resolved well,' he told reporters after the rally ended this evening. He also advised the organisers to be more transparent in sharing information with the authorities in the future to ease security and logistic controls. 'Malaysians have the right to gather, and to gather peacefully. In terms of safety, that's the most important. Sometimes if we don't allow an event, it usually is due to a safety issue, as that is a responsibility of the police,' he said, adding that 3,000 police officers and personnel were mobilised to ensure safety throughout the duration of the rally. Mohamed Usof also said the police would study the speeches delivered by several leaders at the rally, especially if there were elements touching on 3R (religion, race, royalty) or seditious in nature. 'The right to gather peacefully is there, but we are still bound by existing laws. If there are violations, action will be taken according to legal provisions,' he said, adding that there were over 60 reports lodged regarding the rally, mostly by those who disagreed with it being organised. An internal postmortem to access aspects that could be improved would also be conducted, Mohamed Usof said. -- BERNAMA

UMNO Information chief Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said said that with these capabilities, UMNO must rise to close the gap in public perception regarding the party's image. 'In addition, I also reminded (party members) that the unity government or coalition government model is one that has been used by UMNO since the days of the Alliance, and subsequently with the establishment of Barisan Nasional.

Palestinian Journalist Echoes The Cries Of His People
By Suraidah Roslan KUALA LUMPUR, July 26 (Bernama) -- Palestinian journalist Younus Abdel Hamid Abu Jarad may be miles away from Gaza, but the anguish of his homeland weighs heavily on him. Based in Istanbul, Turkiye, 43-year-old Younus turns his pain into purpose, using powerful stories and images shared by his colleagues in Gaza to report on the suffering there. bootstrap slideshow Through his work, he gives a voice to those in pain and tells the world about their ongoing struggle with deep determination. 'It is hard not to feel emotional when you witness the suffering of others. Although I am not on the ground covering the unrest, I feel equally saddened by the stories and images shared with me. 'In the past few days, people have been collapsing from hunger. People are dying of starvation as humanitarian aid is being blocked by the Israeli military,' he said during a special meeting with a Palestinian activist delegation organised by the Palestinian Cultural Organisation Malaysia (PCOM) here recently. These accounts, he explained, were shared by a trusted partner he has been working with directly in Gaza, despite the severe lack of resources and the difficult conditions on the ground. 'Palestinians have no life left to live, yet they hold on to the smallest glimmers of hope just to stay alive and endure this genocide,' said Younus, who holds a Bachelor's degree in Economics and Political Science and a Master's degree in Modern History, both from the Islamic University of Gaza. Sharing his views, Younus said there is a serious imbalance in the global narrative about the situation in Gaza, mainly due to limited international media coverage.
