Under the leadership of Grenada 🇬🇩’s Senate President Dessima Williams, deputy speakers and parliamentarians from around 10 countries joined a working breakfast with Germany’s State Secretary for Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety, Rita Schwarzelühr-Sutter.
Ms. Schwarzelühr-Sutterhas served as a Member of Parliament since 2005 and has held cabinet roles under several Chancellors. With over a decade of experience in environmental and climate issues, she shared invaluable insights. We exchanged views on Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to carbon emission reduction, and unanimously affirmed the critical role of legislators in reviewing, advancing, and monitoring progress of NDCs.
After the meeting, I participated in the biennial Global NDC Conference, where over 200 representatives from governments, private sectors, NGOs, and philanthropic foundations gathered to discuss the upcoming round of NDC submissions through 2035 under the Paris Agreement.
That brings me to a sobering message I must share.
According to leading scientific reports, even if all countries fully implement their current NDCs, the world is still not on track to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
Instead, global temperatures are projected to rise by 2.4°C to 2.6°C by the end of this century — far above the Paris Agreement’s target.
This would be catastrophic, and could put the survival of our human civilization at risk.
Is there still time to change course?
Yes — but only if countries submit significantly strengthened NDCs in the next update cycle, as required every five years under the Paris Agreement.
We must collectively phase out fossil fuels, accelerate the transition to renewable energy, electrify our systems, and pursue nature-based solutions. Developed countries must honor and expand their climate finance commitments to support the green transition in developing countries.
The window is not fully closed, and the 2025 NDC update is seen as the “last chance”.
That’s why this Global NDC Summit has drawn so much attention.
Will we succeed?
To be honest, I feel a mix of hope and concern.
The U.S. has withdrawn from the Paris Agreement, the Russia-Ukraine war, and U.S.-China trade tensions have slowed momentum.
But at the summit, I saw bright faces and focused minds from every field — people stepping up with leadership. There was even a live graphic recorder sketching the sessions (photo).
And in those moments, I still felt hope.
Because really, what other choice do we have?
Participants included:
Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 Deputy Speaker (Dr.) Rizvie Salih, Namibia 🇳🇦 Deputy Speaker Philipus Katamelo, and parliamentarians from Malaysia 🇲🇾, Thailand 🇹🇭, Zambia 🇿🇲, Kenya 🇰🇪, Uganda 🇺🇬, and Nigeria 🇳🇬.
Grateful for the mutual learning and exchange! … See MoreSee Less

Appreciate your honesty YB Lee Shows that you care and able to see what is really there infront of us
I do have hope. Nature is enormously resilient, humans are vastly intelligent, the energy and enthusiasm that can be kindled among young people seems without limit, and he human spirit is indomitable. But if we want life, we will have to stop depending on someone else to save the world. It is up to us-you and me, all of us. Myself, I have placed my faith in the children. – Jane Goodall

Saya merujuk kepada kenyataan Ahli Parlimen Permatang Pauh, Muhammad Fawwaz Mohamad Jan yang mencadangkan agar kerajaan menangguhkan projek LRT Pulau Pinang, dan sebaliknya mengutamakan kerja menaik taraf Jalan Raya Timur-Barat (JRTB) Gerik–Jeli, susulan tragedi kemalangan yang melibatkan pelajar UPSI baru-baru ini.
Bagi saya, kenyataan ini bukan sahaja mengelirukan, tetapi juga menunjukkan kecetekan pengetahuan beliau dalam pengurusan kewangan negara
Projek LRT di Pulau Pinang adalah sebahagian daripada Rancangan Induk Pengangkutan yang telah dirancang sejak bertahun-tahun dan merupakan langkah penting untuk mengurangkan kesesakan lalu lintas di kawasan berpenduduk padat.
Sebaliknya, kemalangan tragis yang melibatkan pelajar UPSI berlaku di Jalan Gerik–Jeli, Perak — di bawah bidang kuasa Kementerian Kerja Raya dan Unit Penyenggaraan Jalan Persekutuan (JKR).
Dua perkara ini langsung tidak berkaitan — dari segi lokasi, kementerian yang terlibat, mahupun jenis peruntukan. Adalah tidak bertanggungjawab untuk mencampur-adukkan dua isu yang jelas berbeza semata-mata untuk memperdayakan trajedi tersebut sebagai senjata politik.
Saya juga hairan mengapa seorang Ahli Parlimen Pulau Pinang sanggup menolak projek pengangkutan awam yang memanfaatkan negeri beliau.
Jalan Gerik–Jeli memang memerlukan penambahbaikan dari semasa ke semasa, di samping memperketatkan tahap keselamatan kenderaan berat. Saya turut bersimpati dengan keluarga mangsa. Tetapi penyelesaiannya bukan dengan mencantas projek pembangunan lain. Apa yang wajar dilakukan ialah:
* Menyalurkan peruntukan khas kepada Kementerian Kerja Raya,
* Mengarahkan tindakan segera oleh JKR Negeri dan Daerah,
* Dan memastikan semua jalan berisiko tinggi ditambah baik secara menyeluruh dan berterusan.
Menggunakan tragedi untuk menyerang projek yang tidak ada kaitan langsung adalah sesuatu yang amat tidak sensitif — terhadap mangsa, terhadap keluarga mereka, dan terhadap rakyat yang memerlukan kemajuan infrastruktur yang mampan.
Rakyat berhak mendapat maklumat yang tepat dan berasaskan fakta — bukan dimomokkan dengan naratif politik yang mengelirukan.
Saya percaya bahawa pembangunan sistem pengangkutan awam dan keselamatan jalan raya bukan isu yang perlu dipilih salah satu. Kedua-duanya penting, dan kedua-duanya mesti dilaksanakan serentak. Tapi bagi puak yang tertagih untuk memainkan isu walaupun dengan menyinggung perasaan keluarga mangsa, ini mungkin berbeza.

If there is one area where humanity must set aside differences and unite, it is the fight against climate change — a crisis that threatens our very existence.
I was honoured to be invited by GLOBE Legislators to participate in a Roundtable on Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Parliamentary Engagement held in Berlin, Germany. The event took place on the eve of the bi-annual Global NDC Conference, a prominent international platform to advance climate ambition.
For those unfamiliar, NDCs (Nationally Determined Contributions) are national climate action plans and self-imposed targets submitted by countries under the Paris Agreement. These contributions are legally binding within the agreement’s framework, updated every five years with increasing ambition, and represent each nation’s role in limiting global warming to well below 2°C, with a strong aspiration for 1.5°C.
At the roundtable, I had the privilege of chairing a session titled “The Role of Climate Framework Legislation in Driving Ambition.” I was joined by distinguished speakers:
1️⃣ Adam Weiss, Chief Programmes and Impact Officer, ClientEarth
2️⃣ Shirley Matheson, Global NDC Enhancement Lead, WWF
3️⃣ Malini Mehra, CEO, GLOBE Legislators
We concluded that the involvement of parliamentarians is essential to increase pressure and accountability in achieving climate goals. Through MPs’ ability to provide legislative oversight, conduct post-legislative scrutiny, and engage broad stakeholders, the path toward effective climate mitigation and adaptation becomes more achievable.

m.malaysiakini.com/columns/745390 COMMENT | Dr M's 'leaky umbrella' will not save Malays By Mariam Mokhtar "COMMENT | For several decades, Malaysians have been bombarded with messages that they are the “supreme race” (ketuanan Melayu), that they are the rightful owners of this land. And if we are not careful, Malaysia will be “sold” to the Chinese – not just any old Chinese, but the Singaporean Chinese, as if that was the benchmark for the worst form of Chinese. When the occasion suits the bigots, the Malay population will be told of the threat that Christianity or the Communists will have on them. Their lands will be re-colonised, their language will be banned, and their way of life will be changed beyond recognition. These insecure Malays, whose ages range from their teens to their seventies, and who come from both the rural and urban communities, firmly believe that “the Chinese will overrun this country”. Somehow, the Indians are not perceived as a threat. When will the Malays understand that the stories about the Chinese taking over are just lies by manipulating leaders? The truth is that these extremist groups are afraid of losing their hold on the Malays and, by extension, their grip on power. Nevertheless, on June 5, former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad announced the formation of a Malay secretariat committee, which he termed a “big umbrella”, with the sole purpose of unifying the Malay community. Acknowledging the inability to act on his own, he met other political leaders in Putrajaya. They included Perikatan Nasional chairperson Muhyiddin Yassin, Bersatu deputy president Hamzah Zainudin, and PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man. Mahathir convinced the other leaders that they had to restore Malay power in government. Then, at a press conference at the Perdana Leadership Foundation in Putrajaya, he said, “They (Malays) need fighters to champion their cause. Right now, they don’t have a dedicated fighter. “We’re not concerned with other problems, we just want to focus on one struggle – the struggle to save the Malays.” What does Mahathir mean by "save the Malays"? Save them from whom or what? Old guard Confident, self-assured and progressive Malays can disregard Mahathir's facetious statement, but what about less assured ones who wholeheartedly believe that they will lose out to the Chinese? Malaysia's longest-serving prime minister, who also served two terms in office, is responsible for a good many of these lies. He may not be in power, but he has a powerful mouthpiece in other extremist Malay NGOs or political parties. When asked about Umno-Baru being part of the "umbrella", Mahathir said he was willing to accept Umno-Baru members as long as they supported and believed in the cause. It is impossible to believe that Mahathir and his new committee will make much headway in multicultural Malaysia. The leaders whom he met are of the old guard, and it would not surprise anyone to know that they will fail to inspire many Malays, especially the younger generation. PAS' Tuan Ibrahim agreed with Mahathir, who said that one of the main reasons for Malay disunity was the proliferation of political parties which prospered under the country's system of democracy. So, what is Mahathir suggesting? That authoritarianism is the way for Malay unity, and the future direction of Malaysia? Mahathir urged intellectuals, corporate figures, politicians and religious scholars with the same shared interest to unite the Malays. His perception of the Malays as weak is possibly true, but this is the result of decades of dependence on government crutches. Competition is discouraged, and Malays and non-Malays compete on an uneven playing field. No love for Malays The Malays who would like to shelter under Mahathir's umbrella must be made to realise that his reasoning is flawed. Policies that favour the Malays are based on greed and an inferiority complex. Only weak-willed Malays will allow themselves to be manipulated into thinking that Malays should hold all the power. Only insecure Malays will allow themselves to be used as political pawns by this new committee. The Malay is not trapped by his success; he is trapped by his own lethargy and lack of curiosity. This self-imposed mental imprisonment of the Malay mind and his lack of physical exertion will prove his downfall. Mahathir has no love for the Malays. How could he? He is indirectly saying that they are useless and cannot stand on their own two feet. Many Malays are also denied the freedom of choice. When the Malay is too lazy to think for himself, he denies himself the benefits of education and economic empowerment. A lack of aspiration means that the Malay wallows in self-pity. Mahathir and his new committee should not be allowed to strip the Malays of their dignity. We've had enough of the attempts by religious and race-based parties to strip the country of its unity and identity."

m.malaysiakini.com/columns/745353 COMMENT | Trust your land title? Hidden dangers you must know By GK Ganesan “The earth does not belong to us; we belong to the earth.” – Ted Perry, 1971 "COMMENT | You wake up one morning. You check your land title. A stranger’s name stares back at you. This happened to Chen Wei Pin, a Taiwanese businessperson. Someone placed a private caveat on his Selangor land. The caveat claimed he sold the property. He had not. The documents were forged. The land office was fooled. Chen was left fighting for what was rightfully his. His story is not unique. In three years, nearly 500 land scam cases surfaced in Malaysia. Losses approached RM300 million. Each case represents a family’s shattered dreams. Each victim trusted the system. The system failed them repeatedly. Land scammers are chameleons. They adapt and they evolve. They exploit every weakness in our system. Here are their favourite tricks. Method one: The master forger Fraudsters forge everything. Identity cards. Land titles. Powers of attorney. They target absentee owners. The elderly. Those living overseas. People who rarely check their land. The scammer creates fake documents. They “sell” the land to innocent buyers. The buyers only learn the truth when the real owner appears. By then, it is often too late for both the owner and the new buyer. Real story: Eight businesspeople in Batu Pahat paid over RM300,000 for agricultural land. Their “leases” were worthless. The documents were fake. Insiders at the district land office had prepared them. They exploited their access to land records." Part 1

An article from Malaysiakini: Court of Appeal defers decision on ex-AG's judge recusal bid "Summary: -The Putrajaya Court of Appeal defers the decision on Tommy Thomas' bid to recuse High Court judge Roz Mawar Rozain in Shahrir Samad’s lawsuit against him. -The court fixes June 12 for case management to set a decision date." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxFull Story Herexxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "The Putrajaya Court of Appeal has deferred the decision on former attorney-general Tommy Thomas' application to recuse the High Court judge in the lawsuit filed against him by former Felda chairperson Shahrir Samad. The deferment was made after a three-judge panel chaired by Supang Lian heard submissions from both parties in an online session today. According to The Star, Thomas' lawyer Alan Gomez argued that the application for Roz Mawar Rozain to be recused was not based on personal grounds but to ensure a fair trial. He said Roz, having rejected Thomas' (above) bid to strike out Shahrir's claim last year, might have formed a premature opinion even prior to the start of the trial. He further contended that Roz had made conclusions in the pre-trial phase that were not substantiated by evidence and should thus recuse herself. On the other hand, Shahrir's counsel Firoz Hussein Ahmad Jamaluddin countered by saying that Roz's statements were inferential in nature and did not constitute factual determinations on the merits of the case. The court fixed June 12 for case management to set a decision date. Shahrir’s suit Thomas submitted the recusal application on Aug 26 last year, asserting that Roz had made several unfounded conclusions and issued statements that conflicted with both the claims outlined in the suit and the evidence brought before the court. However, in opposing the application, Shahrir contended that a judge should not step down solely because a party disagrees with her legal reasoning. On Jan 14, the Kuala Lumpur High Court dismissed Thomas’ application to recuse Roz from the defamation suit brought by Shahrir and three others against him. Shahrir filed the suit against Thomas, former MACC chief commissioner Latheefa Koya, MACC, and the government on Dec 4, 2023, for alleged malicious prosecution. Former Felda chairperson Shahrir Samad He is also suing the quartet for malicious investigation and wrongful arrest. This is over the money-laundering case involving RM1 million received from former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak, of which he was acquitted on Jan 5. The full acquittal came on the heels of testimony from a prosecution witness, MACC investigating officer Nurzahidah Yacop, that Thomas in 2020 gave the green light for Shahrir to be charged in court despite an incomplete investigation paper."
m.malaysiakini.com/news/745260 Anwar wants new people's housing near public transport "Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim proposed that new people's housing projects be developed on or near public transport stations, as a move to encourage more comprehensive use of the public transport system. Anwar said that such a housing development concept would not only provide more strategic residences for low-income groups but also pave the way for a more sustainable and organised urban lifestyle. “There are proposals to develop housing directly on top of public transport stations, but this requires certain amendments (to laws) and is currently being worked on. “An example is the Kota Madani project, where I emphasised comprehensive and centralised basic amenities for the welfare of the people, including vertical development,” he said. The Prime Minister was speaking at the Malaysia Madani Scholars’ Forum (FIM) Series 6 in Petaling Jaya last night. The forum, organised by the Higher Education Ministry,, discussed the topic “Transport for the People: Balancing Affordability, Quality, and Sustainability of Public Transport”. Also participating as panellists were Transport Minister Anthony Loke; Prasarana Malaysia Berhad president and group chief executive officer Mohd Azharuddin Mat Sah; and Universiti Putra Malaysia vice-chancellor Ahmad Farhan Mohd Sadullah. Meanwhile, Anwar said that open discourse platforms like the forum were crucial to ensure government policies were formulated by considering the voices of various parties, including academicians, industry experts, government supporters, and even the opposition. Significant policy changes needed Anwar said the organisation of such forums proved that the government did not shut down criticism, but instead encouraged differing views, provided they were delivered professionally and constructively. “I appreciate the openness of the panellists who made subtle suggestions and proposals. I don’t consider this negative criticism. I take note of the matters (suggestions), I will write them down, and I will bring these issues to the cabinet meeting tomorrow,” he said. Meanwhile, Loke, commenting on Anwar's call for new developments near public transport facilities, said the new measure being discussed by the government would involve conceptual changes in urban development and planning. He said housing development with access to public transport facilities required significant changes in terms of policy and paradigm, with the objective of encouraging mobility and strategic home ownership for the people. According to Loke, if housing can be developed near public transport stations, reliance on private vehicles can be reduced. “One of the matters we are discussing with the Housing and Local Government Ministry is the provision of guidelines for housing projects, such as apartments located near public transport stations. “This includes the reduction of parking requirements due to having access to public transport,” he said. – Bernama"
m.malaysiakini.com/columns/745246 COMMENT | Three concerns regarding Urban Renewal Act By Mah Hang Soon COMMENT | The recently proposed Urban Renewal Act (URA) by the government has raised concerns among members of the public. They say this new law, aimed at revitalising and modernising areas which are deemed as “urban decay” with “ageing infrastructure”, will backfire and instead be harmful to residents, especially those who are in vulnerable groups. Any policy, regardless of how well-intentioned it is, should also take into account the overall feedback of the affected residents, and steps should be taken to address their concerns. From our research and reviews, we have determined three main problems regarding the URA. 1. Consent thresholds According to the URA draft, as long as a certain percentage of consent is reached, the private developer will be allowed to proceed with their redevelopment plans, therefore ignoring the voices from the minority. While some may claim that the majority has the right, others may see it as the minority being denied their rights. This is especially true in older communities, where most of the residents may be senior citizens or hail from low-income groups. The concern arising is that private developers will approach larger households only to gain their consent, thus ignoring the minorities, and therefore “forcing” them to accept unfair compensation. This goes against the government’s concept of “One Family, One House”. 2. Will it see the exclusion of low- and middle-income groups? While urban renewal aims to bring a higher quality of life and better living environment, at the same time there is the fear that this new standard of living will incur high costs, thus denying the original residents, who are from low- and middle-income groups, from returning to their old homes. Thus, the government is urged to ensure that a mechanism is implemented to allow these former residents to return to their homes, or that proper resettlement and compensation are given to them. 3. Ecological and cultural considerations While we welcome modernisation and redevelopment, we cannot forget what is termed as “the soul of the city”. Cities are more than buildings and highways. They also comprise their people who live, work and make memories in it. Thus, old neighbourhoods are often intrinsically tied to their communities. Any move to demolish these buildings will cause not just a change in physical structure, but also the memories of the community. As such, steps must be taken to preserve urban culture and heritage, so as to prevent the city from losing its “soul”. For example, in medical care, the aim is not merely to prolong one’s life, but rather to enhance the quality of life. This also rings true for urban development. The government should do more than build new infrastructure. Urban renewal must also take into account the community and its people’s way of life. As such, it is hoped that the government will review these issues that we have raised, and take the necessary steps to allay the fears of the people." DR MAH HANG SOON is MCA deputy resident.

Pada bulan Februari yang lalu, YAB Dato’ Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim, Perdana Menteri Malaysia telah turun padang melawat PPR Lembah Subang 1, dan secara terbuka berjanji untuk menyalurkan peruntukan bagi menaik taraf kemudahan asas di kawasan tersebut.Hari ini, janji itu telahpun ditunaikan.
Kerajaan Persekutuan melalui Jabatan Perumahan Negara (JPN) di bawah Kementerian Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan (KPKT) telah meluluskan peruntukan keseluruhan sebanyak RM3,740,690.00 untuk projek baik pulih dan kerja mengecat bangunan kediaman di PPR Lembah Subang 1.
📌 Pecahan Peruntukan adalah seperti berikut:
🔸 Berdasarkan permohonan yang dikemukakan, YBhg. Datuk Wira Ketua Setiausaha KPKT telah meluluskan peruntukan tambahan ini pada 29 April 2025, tertakluk kepada peruntukan mencukupi dan pematuhan kepada prosedur sedia ada.
🔸 RM2,000,000.00 akan disalurkan oleh KPKT melalui peruntukan pembangunan JPN secara berperingkat:
▫️ RM1,000,000.00 pada tahun 2025
▫️ RM1,000,000.00 pada tahun 2026
🔸 RM1,740,690.00 pula ditanggung secara bersama oleh Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya (MBPJ) dan Ahli Parlimen Petaling Jaya.
Sebagai Ahli Parlimen, saya turut dijemput menyertai mesyuarat penyelarasan pelaksanaan projek ini bersama pihak KPKT, MBPJ dan agensi pelaksana. Saya akan memastikan segala proses berjalan lancar dan amanah rakyat ini dilaksanakan secara telus dan berkesan.
Saya juga menyedari bahawa penduduk masih berdepan cabaran lain termasuk masalah lif yang kerap rosak. Saya akan terus menyuarakan perkara ini serta mencari penyelesaian jangka panjang bersama pihak berkaitan.
Saya percaya, dengan kerjasama semua pihak — kerajaan pusat, PBT dan penduduk — kita boleh membina kawasan perumahan yang lebih selesa dan selamat. … See MoreSee Less

m.malaysiakini.com/news/745027 Retirement age for politicians: Young ones supportive, old guard against By Qistina Nadia Dzulqarnain "Summary: -Younger leaders support establishing a retirement age for politicians to allow room for new ideas. -However, more senior figures argue that experience and long-standing service remain valuable. -Others take a more nuanced view, with some suggesting term limits instead." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxFull Story Herexxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "As the government looks into raising the mandatory retirement age for civil servants to 65, Malaysiakini asks – should politicians, especially ministers and MPs, be age-capped too? Unsurprisingly, when Malaysiakini posed the question to politicians, the answer differed by age. Younger leaders were more supportive of a retirement age for politicians to make way for fresh ideas, while senior figures pushed back, insisting experience and past contributions remain vital factors for those in public office. Muda central executive committee member Rashifa Aljunied, 26, warned that when older politicians refuse to let go of power, “damaging consequences” could arise from denying younger leaders the chance to lead. “By holding on to positions well beyond the typical retirement age, older politicians delay the much-needed shift in leadership that reflects new realities, new challenges, and new ideas. “If we want a future that looks different, we need to start by making space for the young to lead,” she said. Expressing similar sentiments, Muda vice-president Dobby Chew, 35, stressed that politics and those involved in the field should always be forward-looking, dynamic and up-to-date with current needs. “If the average age of our politicians, especially those holding high-ranking offices, is far more advanced than the general population, it’s difficult to envision them being effective at representing Malaysia as a whole while providing the necessary vision and leadership for the nation. “A leader who built their life experience between the 1970s and the 1990s would be an excellent person to seek advice from, but not someone who should be in control and determining policy, especially when they are well in their 100s today,” he said when contacted. Inculcate values instead However, while Chew supported the idea of imposing a retirement age on politicians holding executive roles such as the prime ministership or positions in government-linked companies (GLCs), he opined that such a rule should not be enforced on elected lawmakers. “People are and should always be the ultimate decider for those contesting (in elections),” he said. Some young leaders want a mandatory cut-off, but for others, shifting values within the system is a better goal. DAP’s Bukit Bendera MP Syerleena Abdul Rashid, 44, said that while a fixed retirement age for politicians may not be necessary, there is a need for a political culture which values renewal, accountability, and merit above seniority. She added that while experience has its place in leadership, it's equally important for politicians to recognise when it's time to pass the baton. “Leadership is about service, not legacy. Some of the best ideas I’ve seen came from younger Malaysians (who are) bright, driven, and deeply connected to the challenges of today. “If we truly care about our country’s future, we should be paving the way for fresh minds to step up, lead boldly, and shape what comes next,” she said. But, Mahathir One outlier among the younger politicians Malaysiakini spoke to was Bersatu supreme council member Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal. The 38-year-old insisted that there is no need to compel politicians to retire if their services are still deemed valuable. The Machang MP pointed to two-time former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who will turn 100 in July, and PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang, aged 78 this year. “Mahathir has officially retired as an elected representative, but he will never retire as a politician. He will die a politician and a statesman. “Although Hadi’s health is declining, his leadership and political judgment are still essential to PAS, allowing the party to remain strong,” Wan Fayhsal said. Similarly, referring to Mahathir, Bersatu secretary-general Azmin Ali, 60, said the core responsibility of a politician is to serve the rakyat, with their role expanding beyond the limitations of a regular occupation. “At the age of 100, (Mahathir) is still very active in helping the rakyat, engaging with various stakeholders, building a strong nation and commanding high respect from global and regional communities,” he added. Mahathir is serving as an adviser to Perikatan Nasional state governments, which Bersatu is part of. Position term limits more practical The idea that age is just a number cuts across the political spectrum, with PKR’s Selayang MP William Leong, 68, also saying that some politicians are still doing well in their 90s and 100s. Hence, he said there was no need for a retirement age for politicians and that people would decide when a politician is no longer fit to serve. “The not-so-effective (lawmakers) have a shelf life limited to five years when they’re not re-elected. The good ones will last as long as the voters support them,” he added. Taking a middle ground on the matter, PSM deputy chairperson S Arutchelvan said the party is more focused on setting a term limit for office bearers, as practised within the party’s structure. The 58-year-old said that although it might be “impractical” to broadly impose an age limit on politicians as political matters involve various age groups requiring representatives, setting a maximum number of terms could present a win-win solution. “It’s an issue of balancing between people’s democratic right to elect who they want as an MP and lawmakers being around for too long… perhaps for the prime minister position, we can have a two-term policy,” he added. The government is in the middle of reviewing a law to impose term limits on the prime minister. The conversation about a retirement age for politicians came after Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Azalina Othman Said, 61, proposed that the government consider raising the mandatory retirement age to 65. Azalina, who made the suggestion in her personal capacity, said it would be a loss for individuals to retire at 60 when they were still energetic, productive, and capable of contributing to the workforce. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim – who will turn 78 this year – said there was merit behind the proposal, and has tasked the government to look into it. In Malaysia, the mandatory retirement age for government employees is 60. This is also the minimum retirement age for private sector employees under the Minimum Retirement Age Act 2012. The retirement age increase proposal has been met with criticism, including from Muda, who described it as “inherently cruel” as it ignores structural failures forcing the elderly to continue working just to survive."

m.malaysiakini.com/news/745073 Unregulated rentals, online sales of illegal stays threaten Visit M'sia 2026: Group "Summary: -MyBHA raises alarm over unlicensed short-term rentals and the unchecked online sale of illegal accommodations ahead of Visit Malaysia 2026. -Its president Sri Ganesh Michiel says social media profiting from unverified listings, undermining licensed hotels and exposing tourists to safety risks. -He urges govt to form a task force to regulate short-term rentals, enforce licensing, and hold digital platforms accountable for enabling illegal operators." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxFull Story Herexxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "A hotel association has raised concerns about the authorities’ lack of control over unregulated short-term rental accommodations and unchecked online sale of unlicensed lodgings ahead of Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026). Malaysia Budget and Business Hotel Association (MyBHA) president Sri Ganesh Michiel claimed that lax regulations have led to a “parallel and illegal” accommodation economy. “Unlicensed and unregulated short-term rental units, including apartments, condominiums, and private residences converted into transient lodging, operate outside of any legal framework, do not pay licensing fees or taxes, and are not subject to safety inspections. “These entities also undermine legitimate hoteliers and tourism players who have invested significantly in complying with national and local laws and regulations,” he said in a statement. The lack of control over these types of accommodations, he said, threatens to derail VM2026’s aspirations to reintroduce Malaysia to the world as a premier, safe and sustainable destination. Sri Ganesh expressed concern over the lack of oversight, which has led to numerous issues, including distorted market pricing that is disadvantageous to law-abiding hotel operators. He also warned that tourists face safety risks due to such entities’ alleged non-compliance with fire, safety, and health regulations, while weak consumer protection leaves travellers vulnerable to scams and unsafe premises. No tax revenue Besides residential communities grappling with disturbances caused by unchecked transient occupancy, he added that local councils and the federal government are also missing out on tax revenue. Sri Ganesh also sounded the alarm over the “explosive growth” of online travel agencies promoting unlicensed accommodations, including via websites and social media such as Facebook, TikTok and Instagram. “MyBHA finds it unacceptable that global and local digital platforms are profiting from illegal listings with no accountability or verification mechanisms in place. “These platforms, driven by profits, have turned a blind eye to the presence of unlawful listings and are enabling illegal businesses to thrive while ignoring the harm caused to consumers and the licensed industry,” he added. He stressed that Malaysia cannot afford to allow illegal operators to profit from government-funded tourism campaigns while licensed hotels are left to bear the burden of compliance, fees, taxes, and inspections. “This situation penalises the honest and empowers the unscrupulous, sending a dangerous message to the tourism industry and damaging Malaysia’s international image,” he lamented. Task force needed As such, he called for the formation of a high-level inter-ministerial task force led by the Housing and Local Government Ministry and the Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry. The task force, Sri Ganesh said, should introduce and enforce immediate regulations for all short-term rentals. It should also empower local authorities to consistently and firmly enforce regulations and laws without negatively impacting licensed and registered hotel businesses, he added. Sri Ganesh said the task force should also establish minimum safety and operating standards for all accommodation providers. He called for the Digital Ministry and Communications Ministry to also be roped in on such efforts. In particular, he said the Digital Ministry and Communications Ministry should enforce legal responsibilities for verifying accommodations’ licensing status before allowing listings, while also introducing digital governance standards and penalties for platforms enabling illegal trade. “Many countries around the world have already begun taking firm action to regulate short-term rentals due to their impact on housing affordability, community well-being, and the formal hospitality sector. “Singapore, New York, Amsterdam, Barcelona, and Tokyo have introduced strict licensing requirements, limitations on the number of rental days, and enforcement mechanisms to curb illegal short-term rental activities. “These global efforts reflect a growing recognition of the need to balance tourism growth with fair competition and sustainable urban development – an approach that Malaysia must also consider in addressing the challenges posed by unregulated operators,” he added. In November last year, Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said new guidelines to regulate short-term rentals would be presented to the cabinet soon. Zahid reportedly said the guidelines will simplify licensing, ensure legal compliance, and address community concerns such as noise, parking shortages, and waste. He said then that the short-term rentals are expected to drive tourism growth, with projections of 35.6 million tourist arrivals by 2026."
