Special Randau
1. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim hinted in the 2025 budget that will be presented on 18 Oct 2024, that the rich will no longer be given education subsidies.
2. The wife of former finance minister Daim Zainuddin- Naimah abdul Khalid claimed that the investigation and prosecution against her and her husband were politically motivated. According to Naimah, the Bloomberg report shows that PMX did abuse the power to move the court case against them.
3. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's 2-day working visit to Sarawak gives an impression of closer political cooperation in the upcoming state and state elections - said Bagidat Minda.
4. PMX's work visit to Sarawak is more beneficial to GPS supporters - said a caller to RFS - a caller who did not want to be named said that. The prime minister was not allowed to meet the thousands of citizens and party supporters who were outside the Miri airport. (PMX is taken directly from the jet landing site - get into the car and go straight to another place) In addition, in the Civil Community program almost all the villages that got a grant of RM100k - funds to boost economic activities in Kamlung. The recipients of this grant are only GPS supporters - because the screening and approval is done by the state government. While the allocation is from the central government.

PM Anwar Ibrahim's Kapit Visit: A Turning Point for GPS-PH Cooperation?
Baginda Minda commented on the impact of PMX Anwar Ibrahim's two-day visit to Kapit. According Baginda, Anwar managed to erase all doubts about his ability all this time. Especially among Dayak voters, all this time GPS has been speculating that Anwar will not succeed in becoming prime minister. Anwar not only proved that he succeeded in becoming the prime minister, but the prime minister who was less than 2 years succeeded in driving the growth of Malaysia's economy. The average Kapit resident is happy with Anwar's presence - according to Baginda Minda. Anwar officiated several road and bridge projects and even more importantly officiated the groundbreaking ceremony for the Kapit Police Headquarters. All this time the police capit has no headquarters. Only depend on the small police station. Asked if it is possible that GPS and PH/PKR will work together in the election. I'm positive it will happen, based on the speech and cooperation shown, even if it's not liked by supporters of both parties. I noticed supporters, even the GPS minister and PKR supporters gave negative comments regarding cooperation in the election. But I am confident that when the party's leadership decides to cooperate in the election, the supporters will agree - said Baginda Minda. According to Baginda Minda,Anwar chose Kapit as the parliamentary area he visited because he was aware that Kapit/Hulu Rajang was far behind in development, even though it was the parliamentary area of Malaysia's founding father Tun Jugah, who was also the grandfather of works minister Alexander Nanta Linggi. Baginda Minda called on the people of Sarawak to give 100% support to PMX and wait for the form of cooperation in the upcoming election.

Mr Nicol dari Kch berkongsi mengenai isu Senator di Dewan Rakyat
Calls for Civil Society Senators: A Push for East Malaysia's True Representation
An advocacy group has proposed giving 15 additional Senate seats each to Sabah and Sarawak to ensure a one-third veto power to block any unilateral constitutional amendments by Peninsular Malaysia. Projek Sama pointed out that Sabah and Sarawak currently only have 7.1% representation in the Senate.
Mr. Nicol expressed his agreement that the two East Malaysian states should be granted an increase in the number of Senators. However, he believes that a more suitable approach would be for Senators to be appointed from civil society representatives, such as NGOs, to ensure a proper system of checks and balances.
He argued that currently, with GPS (Gabungan Parti Sarawak) in power, the Senators representing Sarawak are from the same political coalition, which has not brought any real benefit to the people. The pressing issues faced by the local population continue to be overlooked because these Senators come from the same "ship" as the ruling party.
Therefore, Mr. Nicol emphasized that appointing Senators from independent civil society representatives could ensure that the voices of the people of Sabah and Sarawak are heard and that the interests of these regions are properly safeguarded.

33-Year Wait Ends: Families Finally Receive Homes in Cheras After Abandoned Project
After 33 years of waiting, 6 out of 7 families recently received keys to flats in Taman Harmoni in Cheras, following the abandonment of the low-cost housing project in Taman Sri Raya. They had purchased the homes in 1987, and the houses were supposed to be completed by 1992.
The owner of the housing project is PSNB, a Selangor state government agency. In 2007, a group of the affected families met with PSM (Parti Sosialis Malaysia), and Arul led them in a series of strategic actions, including demonstrations in front of the Ministry of Housing.
Initially, the agency suggested offering compensation, but the group demanded houses instead. Eventually, they succeeded and were given the keys to their homes free of charge last Thursday.
