127 Kota Anggerik haj pilgrims receive RM1,000 muassasah incentive
SHAH ALAM: A total of 127 individuals from the Kota Anggerik state constituency who performed the recent haj pilgrimage received RM1,000 each through the 1446H/2025 haj muassasah incentive. The initiative, open for applications from April 22 to July 25, is part of the Selangor government's efforts to support first-time pilgrims. Selangor Youth, Sports, and Entrepreneurship Committee chairman Mohd Najwan Halimi, also the Kota Anggerik assemblyman, said the increased incentive from RM500 to RM1,000 aims to alleviate financial pressures. 'All recipients were carefully screened after submitting applications at our office since April,' he said during the incentive presentation at Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque. The Selangor government, via Menteri Besar Selangor Incorporated (MBI Selangor), allocated RM6 million for this year's muassasah incentive. Additionally, Mohd Najwan announced RM60,000 in community aid for 10 recipients, including NGOs and residents' associations, to support local welfare programmes. Recipient Abu Hassan Darusman, 61, expressed gratitude for the assistance, which will help cover his family's education and living expenses. 'My son submitted our applications after a WhatsApp notification, and all six eligible members received RM1,000 each,' he said. - Bernama

LANGKAWI: A total of 23 luxury yacht and boat operators will take part in the Malaysia International Boat Show 2025 (Mybos'25), which will be held here from May 21 to 25. The inaugural international event will take place at the Royal Langkawi Yacht Club. Kedah's Tourism, Culture, and Entrepreneurship Committee chairman, Datuk Mohd Salleh Saidin, said Mybos'25 would add vibrancy to the ongoing Visit Kedah Year 2025. "Mybos'25 will certainly complement the prestigious biennial Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition 2025 (Lima'25), as both events will run concurrently. "This makes May a peak period for tourist arrivals in Langkawi," he said at a press conference after attending a Hari Raya Aidilfitri ceremony at the Langkawi District and Land Office compound last night. For the record, Lima'25 will be held from May 20 to 24. Salleh said Mybos'25 would feature a wide range of international marine products, including the latest maritime technologies and luxury yachts. "This is not just a boat exhibition, it also serves as a business networking platform for industry players, investors and boat enthusiasts from around the world," he said. The debut event is jointly organised by Mybos Event Sdn Bhd and Sail Malaysia, with support from the Langkawi Development Authority, the Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry, and the Transport Ministry.
