Insufficient evidence to prosecute Zamri Vinoth, Firdaus Wong, says Azalina
The Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) stated that the police have initiated an investigation following complaints lodged against the individuals.
"The investigation file has been referred to the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) for instructions and a decision.
"Based on feedback from the AGC, I have been informed that there is, so far, insufficient evidence to prove the elements of an offence under any legal provision to prosecute both individuals in court," she said in a written reply to RSN Rayer (PH-Jelutong) on Tuesday (July 22).
Rayer had earlier asked the minister why the individuals were not charged in court despite reports lodged against them.
However, Azalina clarified that criminal cases are not subject to a statute of limitations.
"Therefore, if there are new developments in the future, further investigation and review of this case can still be conducted," she added.
The duo had earlier allegedly insulted the beliefs and religious practices of non-Muslims.

US' request gets Malaysian nod for zero rate on nearly 7,000 tariff lines
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia agrees to reduce tariff rates to zero for 6,911 out of 11,260 tariff lines or products requested by the US, representing 61 per cent, as part of reciprocal negotiations with the country. Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz said the move is part of efforts to strengthen market access and promote a more open flow of bilateral trade between the two nations. "This is a systematic and orderly approach to determining Malaysia's final offer to the US. "We have submitted a comprehensive offer covering 98 per cent of all tariff lines, but only agreed to liberalise 61 per cent of them," he said in a media briefing today. Tengku Zafrul also shared several red lines that Malaysia successfully defended during the tariff negotiations with the United States, which led to the 19 per cent tariff rate being announced for Malaysia. He said these included the imposition of excise duties, the removal of import licenses for United States products, liberalisation of equity ownership in strategic sectors, and Bumiputera privileges. "They asked us to eliminate excise duties, which as you know, are imposed on three items: cars, tobacco, and alcohol. "The automotive industry is important to the US, but we also have our own automotive industry, employing 700,000 workers. "We have a national car project and a broad supply chain. In other industries, we do not impose excise duties. "They see this as unfair, but other exporting countries face similar situations. "We have our own policies to ensure we remain competitive. "For now, I think we are not ready to remove these barriers, including equity ownership in strategic sectors, and some of their requests to review laws concerning digital platforms," he added. On matters concerning economic and national security, Tengku Zafrul said several measures have been put in place. He said these include the tightening of the issuance of Non-Preferential Certificates of Origin to address transshipment and false declarations of origin. He also added that the ministry is the sole issuer of the certificate for exports to the United States effective May 6. Tengku Zafrul said Malaysia has also strengthened control on exports of artificial intelligence chips originating from the United States by invoking Section 12 of the Strategic Trade Act 2010 under catch-all control provisions. At the same time, he said the country has committed to not imposing any export restrictions on rare earth elements or other critical minerals. Overall, Tengku Zafrul said the government hopes that the announcement of the tariff rates will provide certainty to exporters and industry players. "The ministry also urges industry players to fully leverage Malaysia's 18 Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) to diversify and expand their export markets," he said.

Multicultural Malaysia's race agenda in 13MP
COMMENT | No other country on earth can be more multicultural, multifaith, multiethnic and muhibbah than Malaysia, and yet, when it comes to Malaysia Plans, our leaders suffer from moral cowardice. Will it break the bank to accord equal status to the non-Malays, irrespective of their socio-economic status, in the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP)? The 13MP has not shed its race-based agenda. Were the formerly "Malaysian Malaysia" DAP politicians ambushed by pro-bumiputera cabinet members into accepting another recycled version of a bumiputera agenda? I cannot be the only one who is troubled by living in a 'two-tiered' nation where one race is treated preferentially over all others.

Malaysia's cross-border insolvency bill to boost investor confidence
KUALA LUMPUR: The newly passed Cross-Border Insolvency Bill 2025 is set to enhance investor confidence and align Malaysia with international business practices, according to Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said. The bill, approved by a majority voice vote in the Dewan Rakyat on July 29, will next be presented to the Dewan Negara. Azalina highlighted its significance for Malaysia's economic growth, stating, 'For many outside the business sector, cross-border insolvency may not be clear. But for businesses, it is crucial for a developing nation like Malaysia.' Speaking at the Islamic Arbitration Conference 2025 at the Asian International Arbitration Centre (AIAC), she emphasised that the reform reflects Malaysia's dedication to keeping up with global standards. 'This bill reassures investors that Malaysia is keeping pace with international practices,' she added. Azalina also noted Malaysia's leadership in Shariah-compliant sectors, including Islamic finance and banking. 'Given our strong foundation, we must expand our influence in Shariah-based Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR),' she said, commending AIAC's new Islamic mediation rules. AIAC CEO Datuk Almalena Sharmila Johan highlighted the growing need for culturally sensitive dispute resolution in cross-border commerce. The centre is preparing to launch the 2025 Suite of Rules, including updated i-Arbitration Rules, to provide Shariah-compliant solutions for global users. - Bernama
