Special Randau
> RFS wishes all Buddhists a happy Wesak Day.> Malaysia has achieved its highest-ever ranking in media freedom, climbing 40 spots to rank 73rd compared to last year's 113th. The previous government's policy of not practicing media freedom had put pressure on RFS during its decade-long broadcast. Malaysia can achieve an even better position with a more open and responsible policy.

Iswardy Morni, political analysis
*UMNO will likely choose PH and use the next four years to strengthen the party before GE16*
Rumors are circulating that the government led by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim will fall in the near future. This matter was further fueled by a Facebook post from Muhamad Faiz, a member of the PPBM party's Supreme Leadership Council, who claimed that PN already has the support of 126 members of parliament.According to Iswardy, the possibility of changing the government through SD support is no longer valid after the anti-party jumping act came into force. But if it is true that PN/PPBM has more support than the majority, there is only one way to change the government, which is to bring a vote of confidence or a vote of no confidence in parliament. This is the only way allowed by the constitution, and the King is bound by the constitutional amendment after the party hopping act is passed and enforced by parliament.
When asked about the worst scenario Anwar might face after the elections in six states, Iswardy stated that even if the worst scenario happens and all six states fall into the hands of the opposition, the federal government will still remain in place. The possibility of UMNO changing its stance in support of PN is also unlikely because UMNO and PN+PAS both draw support from Malays and Muslims, while PH and PKR have widespread support from all races and religions. UMNO will likely choose PH and use the next four years to strengthen the party before GE16.
Commenting on Hadi Awang's meeting with Tun Mahathir to sign the Proclamation of the Malays, Iswardy confirmed that PAS is a party that sells religious and racial products. Hadi hopes that by doing so, his party will gain strong support from Muslim Malays. Hadi affirmed his support for the proclamation in accordance with the principles of Islamic struggle. However, Iswardy believes that Hadi is wrong because the Prophet Muhammad's struggle crossed racial boundaries. Iswardy thinks that the concept of Madani Malaysia is encouraging and that Malaysians as a whole are accepting it. It remains to be seen whether Hadi's innate race and religion narrative or Madani Malaysia will be more popular in the six states that will face elections in a few months.

Barnie Lasimbanng, environmental activist
*what the premier Abang Jo said is just rhetoric to ensure they have power over this carbon resource*
It is justified to have matters related to carbon under the administration of the Ministry of Plantation and Commodities, in view of the United Nations (UN)’s recognition of it as being a ‘commodity’. In pointing this out, Premier of Sarawak Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg opined that carbon should be seen as a commodity in view of Malaysia’s robust carbon market.
Barnie Lasimbang said that, Abang Jo is emphasizing whether carbon is a commodity or whether it must be under the administration of the energy sector. However, the main issue here is that carbon is actually a platform that has emerged due to the need to control climate change.
Therefore, the UN program or plan proposed under the UN framework for climate change mitigation aims to make use of carbon.
This sudden value of carbon is the reason why everyone is struggling to control this new resource. He believes that using carbon as a means of climate change mitigation is entirely wrong if carbon emissions persist.
This is because it will also affect human livelihood, and we can see that it will not reduce forest degradation.Therefore, that is why they want carbon to be classified as a natural resource.
In the context of Sarawak, climate change is a regulation or platform where Malaysia is a signatory to the convention, not Sarawak. It means that the jurisdiction related to climate is under federal authority.

Jeffery Ngui, President of Muda Sarawak
*The Pardon to Najib is contrary to the principle of the rule of law*
Muda has expressed its position that the Pardon Board should reject any pardon applications submitted for former Prime Minister Najib Razak
As one of the Muda Central Executive Committee, Jeffery said the party would oppose any attempt towards granting pardon to Najib. The Committee described Najib as a "kleptocrat" who has brought hardship to the country, and a pardon for him would send the wrong message to the Malaysian people.
Jeffrery ask, will ordinary citizens who have been found guilty of the same crime also be given this privilege? A pardon for Najib while he is still serving his sentence would send a message that any influential individual with power and connections need not worry about the law. This is contrary to the principle of the rule of law.
Najib is currently serving a 12-year jail sentence after being found guilty of charges involving criminal breach of trust, money laundering and abuse of power related to RM42 million of SRC International funds.
UMNO, which is now a key party in Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's administration, has filed a petition for a pardon for Najib.

Jwin from Opar Lundu
*everyone knows about Najib's corrupted case, and he shouldn't have the chance to be pardoned*
As a public, Jwin commented that he does not agree with Najib being pardoned. If someone makes a mistake, they should be held accountable, especially if they committed corrupted and took advantage of the people. Although he may not understand the complex political situation, but everyone knows about Najib's corrupted case, and he shouldn't have the chance to be pardoned.
He also said that he is satisfied with Anwar's leadership in the new government and look forward to seeing more new political changes
