Melaka first state to introduce 'lafaz taklik' document in Braille
MELAKA: Melaka has become the first state in the country to provide the "lafaz taklik' document in Braille for the visually impaired (PwD) community, as part of efforts to facilitate the process of declaring marriage agreement during their solemnisation. Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusof said the initiative marks a significant step towards inclusive empowerment in Syariah legislation, as it not only allows PwD couples to fully understand their marriage vows, but also reflects the commitment of religious authorities and marriage institutions to ensure justice and inclusivity for all segments of society. "Congratulations to the Melaka Islamic Religious Department (Jaim) for its efforts to support the PwD community by diversifying initiatives that simplify procedures for them to understand and declare taklik through Braille. "This, in turn, serves as an example of how the values of Hijrah can be translated into reform and improvement, bringing religion and Islamic teachings closer to every level of society, regardless of ability or condition,' he said. He told reporters this after the state-level Maal Hijrah 1447H/2025M celebration themed "Membangun Ummah MADANI' at Masjid Al-Hakeem, Kampung Tehel, here on Thursday night (June 26). The ceremony, officiated by Melaka Yang Dipertua Negeri Tun Mohd Ali Mohd Rustam, also saw the launch of the Guidelines and Procedures for the Management of Marriage, Divorce and Reconciliation among Muslims in Melaka. Ab Rauf also said the state government has allocated RM86,000 to 12 recipients of the 1447H/2025M Maal Hijrah Awards in recognition of their contributions and service in strengthening the development of the Muslim community in the state. "The recipient of the Abu Bakar As-Siddiq Award received an umrah package worth RM10,000 and RM10,000 in cash, while the other 11 awardees each received a 'Pakej Kembara Ilmiah' worth RM3,000 and RM3,000 in cash,' he added.- Bernama

Actress Fan Bingbing Enters Malaysia Book Of Records For Boosting Melaka's Digital Image
A year ago, Chinese actress Fan Bingbing (范冰冰) was announced as Melaka's tourism ambassador, sparking mixed reactions. However, it seems the controversial appointment paid off for the Malaysian state. Earlier this week, Melaka Chief Minister Ab Rauf Yusoh revealed that he had travelled to Hong Kong to meet with the Chinese actress to award the star a certificate from the Malaysia Book of Records (MBOR). Fan Bingbing was recognised for 'Largest Digital Hits for Malaysian Tourism on WeChat Platform Using Celebrity Ambassador' after Melaka recorded 1.5 billion digital impressions with the 'Malacca x Fan Bingbing' campaign. Ab Rauf Yusof said that Fan Bingbing's appointment as tourism ambassador also helped lead to a significant increase in tourists to Melaka, particularly from China. The Chief Minister shared that the state had 204,818 Chinese tourists by December 2023 but welcomed 664,687 Chinese tourists by December 2024. He also said that her ambassadorship had catapulted Melaka into the global tourism spotlight. Earlier this year, it was announced that Melaka will be the host for the World Tourism Day (WTD) 2025 and the World Tourism Conference (WTC) 2025 this 27th to 29th September 2025 (Saturday to Monday). While unconfirmed, Ab Rauf Yusof said that Fan Bingbing's appointment as the state's tourism ambassador had helped Melaka achieve this milestone. Fan Bingbing and her Malaysian manager, Jersey Chong, have expressed thanks towards the Melaka state government for the MBOR recognition. In an Instagram post, Jersey wrote, 'Gratitude to the Malacca state government for the unwavering trust, and to Bingbing for consistently promoting cultural exchange with sincerity and professionalism. We look forward to crafting more remarkable chapters together.'. While Fan Bingbing's appointment as Melaka's tourism ambassador received mixed reactions, we can't deny the impact that the actress has had. Here's to hoping that the historic state will continue to become a must-visit destination for international travellers.
