Published on: Sun, Jul 20, 2025
By: Jonathan Nicholas Text Size: KOTA KINABALU: State Finance Minister Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun ( pic ) said another State Legislative Assembly sitting may be held before the next Sabah election to ensure the 2026 State Budget is tabled. He said the budget is crucial to maintain government operations, including civil servant salaries and ongoing programmes.
Advertisement Masidi noted that the budget could be presented in November as usual or in December, depending on the timing of the assembly's dissolution. On fiscal talks with the federal government, he said both sides have shared their expectations and will continue discussions to reach a fair outcome. Masidi also welcomed Sabah's recent recognition as Malaysia's Most Outstanding State 2024, describing it as a reflection of the government's efforts toward long-term development. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Sleepless in Kyiv: War takes psychological toll on city's residents
SEVERAL nights a week, Daria Slavytska packs a yoga mat, blankets and food into a stroller and descends with her 2-year-old Emil into the Kyiv subway. While air raid sirens wail above, the 27-year-old tries to snatch a few hours' sleep safely below ground. For the past two months, Russia has unleashed nighttime drone and missile assaults on Kyiv in a summer offensive that is straining the city's air defences, and has its 3.7 million residents exhausted and on edge. Other towns and villages have seen far worse since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in early 2022 — especially those close to the frontline far to the east and south. Many have been damaged or occupied as Russia advances, and thousands of people have fled to the capital, considered the best-defended city in the country. But recent heavy attacks are beginning to change the mood. At night, residents rush to metro stations deep underground in scenes reminiscent of the German "Blitz" bombings of London during World War 2. Slavytska has started nervously checking Telegram channels at home even before the city's alarms sound, after she found herself in early July running into the street to reach the metro with explosions already booming in the sky. The number of people like Slavytska taking refuge in the cavernous Soviet-era ticket halls and drafty platforms of Kyiv's 46 underground stations soared after large-scale bombardments slammed the city five times in June. Previously, the loud air raid alert on her phone sent Emil into bouts of shaking and he would cry "Corridor, corridor, mum. I'm scared. Corridor, mum," said Slavytska. Now, accustomed to the attacks, he says more calmly "Mum, we should go." The subway system recorded 165,000 visits during June nights, more than double the 65,000 visits in May and nearly five times the number in June last year, said its press service. More people were heading to the shelter because of "the scale and lethality" of attacks, said the head of Kyiv's military administration, Tymur Tkachenko. He said strikes killed 78 Kyiv residents and injured more than 400 in the first half of the year. In April, a strike destroyed a residential building a couple of kilometres from Slavytska's apartment block. "It was so, so loud. Even my son woke up and I held him in my arms in the corridor," she said. "It was really scary." After seeing how stressed Emil became after the air alerts, Slavytska sought help from a paediatrician, who recommended she turn off her phone's loud notifications and prescribed a calming medication. Scientists and psychologists say the lack of sleep is taking its toll on a population worn down by more than three years of war. Kateryna Holtsberh, a family psychologist who practises in Kyiv, said sleep deprivation caused by the attacks was causing mood swings, extreme stress and apathy, leading to declined cognitive functions in both kids and adults. "Many people say if you sleep poorly, your life will turn into hell and your health will suffer," said Kateryna Storozhuk, another Kyiv region resident. "I didn't understand this until it happened to me." Anton Kurapov, post-doctoral scholar at the University of Salzburg's Laboratory for Sleep, Cognition and Consciousness Research, said it was hard to convey to outsiders what it felt like to be under attack. "Imagine a situation where you go out into the street and a person is shot in front of you ... and what fear you experience, your heart sinks," he said. "People experience this every day, this feeling." As she tries to squeeze out more hours of sleep in the subway, Slavytska is looking into buying a mattress to bring underground that would be more comfortable than her mat. Others are taking more extreme measures. Small business owner Storozhuk, who had no shelter within 3km of her home, invested over US$2,000 earlier this year in a Ukrainian-made "Capsule of Life" reinforced steel box, capable of withstanding falling concrete slabs. She climbs in nightly, with her Chihuahua, Zozulia.

Malaysia-Indonesia border talks: Sabah, Sarawak leaders to join delegation
Published on: Tuesday, July 22, 2025 Published on: Tue, Jul 22, 2025 By: TV Sarawak Text Size: KUALA LUMPUR: Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Openg and Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor will join Prime Minister Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim's delegation for the Malaysia-Indonesia Annual Consultation in Jakarta on July 29. Key discussions will include the Sulawesi Sea maritime boundary. Anwar said their participation is essential, as any border agreement must be approved by the Sabah and Sarawak governments. He reaffirmed his practice of involving both state leaders in major bilateral talks. Responding to a question about the 2002 ICJ ruling on Ligitan and Sipadan, Anwar said the matter is unrelated to ongoing Sulawesi Sea negotiations, which remain unresolved. He noted that the 2023 Sulawesi Sea Treaty includes a non-disclosure clause and stressed that talks with Indonesia, led by President Prabowo Subianto, aim for compromise while preserving sovereignty and friendly ties. Anwar said Malaysia remains committed to resolving the issue through dialogue, without straining military or diplomatic relations. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

The renovation will add a roof, improved flooring and proper drainage, with work expected to last several months. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
