‘Just like football, can't merely rely on the striker': Johari urges Umno team unity ahead of GE16

SHAH ALAM, July 27 — UMNO members have been advised to continue working as a team, which is free from internal squabbles, in preparation for the next general election. UMNO vice-president Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani said the formation of a machinery as a solid team could prove decisive towards achieving success in the general election. 'In football, when we play against another team, you can't just rely on one striker. If you only have one performing striker, while the rest are not, it'll be difficult. So, we must play as a team. 'If the team is right, solid and has no squabbles, particularly in facing the general election, Insya-Allah, 50 per cent of the battle is won. The others depend on issues cropping up in the government and the country,' he said after officiating the Shah Alam UMNO Division delegates meeting here today. Johari, also the Minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities, advised UMNO members to consider the views of the younger generation, in particular, who form 40 per cent of the total number of voters nationwide. 'They have a very different thinking compared to our ancestors. This happens globally when our audience, who are 18 years old, can automatically become voters. 'If we, as a party, cannot understand the thinking of our youngsters, how are we going to cultivate and constantly produce young leaders who understand?… our problems will be bigger next time. Commenting on the statement by opposition leader Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin yesterday that the opposition is considering tabling a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in Parliament, Johari said each Member of Parliament (MP) has the right to do so. 'In this Parliament, any MP can table that motion (of no-confidence). Nobody can stop it. 'So, the motion is tabled in Parliament… then we will see who has the support and who hasn't. Parliament will determine this,' said the Titiwangsa MP. — Bernama

Nas Suffian Nasrun at the Shah Alam sessions court today. SHAH ALAM : A senior immigration officer pleaded not guilty in the sessions court here today to five money laundering charges involving RM933,295 in proceeds from illegal activities. Nas Suffian Nasrun, 41, who serves as deputy chief assistant director of the management services division at the Johor immigration department, made the plea before judge Nasir Nordin after the charges under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 were read out to him. According to the first charge, Nas Suffian facilitated 29 online transactions totalling RM224,840 – proceeds suspected to be from unlawful activities – from a man's bank account to his mother's account between Nov 1, 2023 and May 29, 2024. He was also charged with receiving RM297,600 in proceeds from illegal activities from the same individual's account into his own account via 29 online transfers between Oct 19, 2022 and Aug 8, 2024. For the third charge, he was accused of transferring RM113,375 in proceeds from illegal activities from his own bank account to another individual's account in 32 online transactions between April 16, 2023 and Nov 2, 2023. He was also charged with transferring RM209,080 in proceeds from illegal activities from a company account he managed to his own bank account through 55 online transactions between July 29, 2022 and July 1, 2024.

The offences were allegedly committed at two separate bank branches, one in Kota Damansara and the other in Kajang.

Malaysia investigates naked dancing, ‘holy baths' claims at Muslim motivational event

Malaysian police are investigating a complaint about deviant activities such as naked dancing and 'holy cleansing baths' being performed during a family motivational event. Police said the report was filed at the end of February over an incident that was held at a convention centre in Shah Alam, a predominantly Malay-Muslim enclave about 30km (19 miles) from the capital of Kuala Lumpur, last September. 'We have called in the wife of the complainant as well as other participants of the event for statement taking,' Shah Alam police chief Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim said, as quoted by The Star newspaper on Saturday. 'There are several matters we must confirm first before any decision is made if follow-up action is to be taken by the police or the state religious department.' The police confirmation comes after Malaysia's Islamic development department (Jakim) and Selangor religious authorities (Jais) said on Friday that they were looking into the event, aimed at Malay-Muslims, which allegedly involved idolatry and immoral rituals.
