Jamal Abdillah now a successful cattle farmer
Compiled by BENJAMIN LEE, ALLISON LAI and R. ARAVINTHAN THE golden voice behind hits like Kekasih Awal Dan Akhir is now hoping to expand his cattle farming to selling burgers, minced meat and meatballs, Utusan Malaysia reported. Datuk Jamal Abdillah, 66, said he started a commercial cattle farm in 2023 after his previous farm in Bagan Serai, Perak, was well received by customers. Having begun with 25 cows on a 2ha field, he said his commercial farm now has many more cows, motivating him to work harder. 'I plan to expand my business to manufacturing food products using beef, like burgers, minced meat and meatballs.' Jamal also said that he has started rearing goats and ornamental fish at his farms which he said had great potential to meet market demand. His plan is to sell his products in Teluk Intan, Perak, as it is his hometown. He also spoke of his fondness for giant freshwater prawns from Sungai Perak. 'The taste is different,' he said. > For four-year-old Nur Aisya Khadeeja, her world has been one of silence. Her father, Muhamad Razmein Abdullah, first noticed his only child was non-verbal about two years ago. 'We noticed she was unable to speak and was unresponsive to sounds,' he told Harian Metro. Muhamad Razmein, 30, was distraught when medical tests revealed narrowed auditory nerves in both of Nur Aisya's ears, severely impacting her hearing. Even with hearing aids, her condition barely improved. 'Doctors have recommended cochlear implant surgery, but we can't afford it due to the high cost which can go up to RM115,000,' said Muhamad Razmein, a delivery rider. His wife Haslinda Mohd Zamidi, 35, works as an administrative officer. The family, who live in Bukit Mertajam, Penang, has only managed to save about RM5,000 for the surgery, which is scheduled for July 17. For now, a charity organisation is collecting funds for the family. The above articles are compiled from the vernacular newspapers (Bahasa Malaysia, Chinese and Tamil dailies).

[UPDATED] MACC to charge Works Department director in graft case
PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is set to charge a Works Department director tomorrow over alleged bribery involving hundreds of thousands of ringgit. MACC deputy chief commissioner Datuk Seri Ahmad Khusairi Yahaya said today that the case was investigated by the commission's Special Operations Division and is now complete. "We expect to charge the director tomorrow at the Special Corruption Sessions Court in Jalan Duta," he said at MACC Headquarters. As part of the investigation, the MACC has frozen 95 bank accounts, comprising 79 belonging to individuals and 16 linked to companies, with a total value of RM613 million. The commission has also seized properties, vehicles, and cash believed to be connected to the case. In May, the MACC remanded six individuals, including two senior civil servants with the title 'Datuk' and an engineer from a government department, for allegedly receiving bribes in connection with development and maintenance contract awards since 2021. According to a source, initial investigations revealed that the two main suspects, who hold the positions of director and engineer at a government department, had received approximately RM115,000 from middlemen in the form of cash, home renovation payments, and mobile phones.
