JPP denies Rafizi's claim on vendor appointment for PKR election system
JPP chairman Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa said Rafizi attended the discussion on the appointment of the vendor and auditor held by PKR's Political Bureau and the Central Leadership Council (MPP).
'During the discussion, Rafizi did not raise any objections regarding appointing the vendor responsible for the voting system. Most of the concerns were about the auditor's appointment. Nothing was said about the vendor.
'Why is the vendor appointment being questioned after we've already completed divisional-level elections?' she said in a video posted on her Facebook page today.
Speaking at the Jelajah Hidupkan Idealisme Reformasi Dalam Ujian Kuasa (HIRUK) in Perak yesterday, Rafizi, who serves as the Economy Minister, alleged that the vendor managing the party's electoral system was appointed secretly without being discussed by the PKR's Political Bureau.
Dr Zaliha, also Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories), emphasised that the JPP should not be dragged into conflicts among candidates contesting in the party's elections for the 2025-2028 term.
She said the committee is an independent body dedicated to ensuring the voting process runs smoothly, in line with the principles of fair and transparent democracy.
'We will ensure that the election process during the congress (PKR Annual Congress) proceeds smoothly. InsyaAllah, we will continue to uphold a fair, clean and transparent process conducted with integrity,' she said.
'Campaign healthily and maturely, present your strengths, and demonstrate what you can contribute for the good of the party and to ensure the party remains relevant,' she added.
The 2024/2025 PKR Annual Congress, including the congresses for Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) and Wanita PKR, will take place from May 22 to 24, with voting scheduled for May 23.

Posted then deleted: Cambodian soldier caught on video carrying landmine near border
PHNOM PENH: A leaked footage showing a Cambodian soldier carrying a landmine near the border, has sparked Ottawa Treaty violation claims. A Facebook page specialising in military affairs has released video footage allegedly showing a Cambodian soldier carrying a landmine near the Thai border. The clip was posted on Saturday (July 19) by the "Military News" page, showing what appears to be a Cambodian soldier holding a TM-57 landmine—an anti-tank mine originally developed by the Soviet Union—while patrolling a border area. The footage was reportedly circulated online within Cambodia before being swiftly taken down. - Photo: The Nation/ANN In a recent Cambodian government statement, Phnom Penh reaffirmed its full compliance with the treaty. That statement also highlighted Cambodia's historical suffering from landmine contamination and claimed that under the leadership of former Prime Minister Hun Sen and current Prime Minister Hun Manet, the country has consistently promoted peace and committed itself to a mine-free world. Cambodia, a state party to the Ottawa Convention, has in the past been praised for its mine-clearing efforts and hosted two major international summits on landmine eradication in 2024: the 11th Meeting of States Parties and the 5th Review Conference, dubbed the 'Siem Reap–Angkor Summit on a Mine-Free World.' Tensions along the Thai-Cambodian border escalated in July 2025 following an incident in which three Thai soldiers were seriously injured after stepping on landmines while patrolling a disputed area near Chong Bok in Thailand's northeastern province of Ubon Ratchathani, close to the border with Cambodia. The explosion occurred during a routine patrol by the Royal Thai Army's Suranaree Task Force, which is responsible for securing parts of the border in the Second Army Area. Thai military officials believe the mines were newly planted, as the area had previously been cleared and marked as safe. The type of explosive device—believed to be anti-personnel landmines—sparked serious concerns, particularly because Cambodia is a signatory to the Ottawa Treaty, which bans the use, production, and transfer of anti-personnel mines.

Marzuki rebuts Rafizi's claim: PN did offer DPM post and cabinet roles to BN after GE15
FORMER PKR Deputy President Rafizi Ramli claimed that PN did not offer any positions to BN during post-GE15 negotiations and that PN leader Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin looked down on UMNO. However, former Political Secretary to the eighth Prime Minister, Datuk Dr Marzuki Mohamad, has now countered Rafizi's claims by revealing a letter proving that PN did offer BN the Deputy Prime Minister post, Cabinet positions, and other government roles. Marzuki insisted that negotiations were cordial, Muhyiddin never belittled UMNO, and it was Rafizi who was lying about what truly happened in those discussions. 'I watched a podcast video by Rafizi claiming that PN did not make any offer to BN during the negotiations to form a government after GE15. 'In fact, he claimed Tan Sri Muhyiddin looked down on UMNO. He said he had an insider in the PN-BN negotiations at Hotel St Regis on 23 November 2022. 'I don't know if he really had an insider or not. Brother Rafizi, you are lying,' he said in a Facebook post on Saturday. Marzuki emphasised that he wasn't merely an insider but was directly involved in the negotiations from beginning to end. He described the discussions with BN as having taken place in a friendly and respectful atmosphere. 'Not once did Muhyiddin belittle UMNO. Moreover, those who attended were all his friends from UMNO and BN. They spoke like friends too. 'Secondly, in any negotiation, there must be offers. The BN delegation came with the offer of BN MPs giving 'en-bloc' support to Muhyiddin as Prime Minister. 'In return, PN offered the Deputy Prime Minister post to BN, Cabinet positions according to the number of parliamentary seats won, and several other matters,' he said. —July 20, 2025 Main image: Sinar Harian

PM Anwar revisits childhood home in Cherok Tok Kun
PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim took a brief but poignant detour during his official duties in Penang, yesterday to visit his childhood home in Cherok Tok Kun, Bukit Mertajam. The modest wooden house, where he grew up, holds deep sentimental value for the nation's leader. For Anwar, the house is more than just a structure. It represents the foundation of his life journey, filled with love, sacrifice, and dreams that shaped his leadership today. 'This house was small and simple, but it was where love flourished,' he wrote in a heartfelt Facebook post, which garnered over 18,000 likes and 600 shares by 11.30am. He recalled growing up there with his siblings, playing freely, laughing, and crying together while witnessing their parents' relentless efforts to secure a better future for the family. 'Every corner of this house holds a thousand stories, its floors bearing witness to small steps that have carried me this far,' Anwar shared. The visit also allowed him to embrace and catch up with his brothers, Idrus and Marzuki, rekindling cherished memories. 'There's a longing fulfilled, memories that bloom again,' he wrote emotionally. To me, Cherok Tok Kun remains the base of my roots, no matter how high I have soared. The humble home symbolises the core of his struggles today—justice, dignity, and love for the rakyat. 'This is where I began—Cherok Tok Kun, Bukit Mertajam. Every return reminds me that everything I fight for today started here, with this family, with this sacred love that never fades,' he added.
