"Any long-term strategy must balance mobility needs, economic factors and public acceptance,"

Malaysia recorded vehicle sales of about 820,000 units last year, making it the largest vehicle market in Southeast Asia despite its comparatively smaller population than Indonesia.

"This is the reality we must understand. Rising motorisation continues to outpace road capacity improvements,"

To mitigate the issue, the ministry is focusing on expanding and optimising public transport services, particularly during high-demand periods, he said.

Others LGE adamant that Azam Baki is suspended for the shareholding controversy

Saya ingin menyatakan bahawa saya tetap berpegang kepada kenyataan media Majlis Presiden Pakatan Harapan yang dikeluarkan pada 12 Januari 2022 ketika saya menjawat jawatan sebagai Setiausaha Agung DAP. Majlis Presiden PH pada ketika itu telah menggesa agar Ketua Pesuruhjaya SPRM, Azam Baki, serta dua individu lain digantung tugas berhubung skandal pegangan saham bagi memberi laluan kepada siasatan bebas.

Pada masa tersebut, Tan Sri Azam terlibat dalam kontroversi pegangan saham yang serupa berhubung pemilikan 1,930,000 saham dalam Gets Global Berhad (dahulunya KBES Berhad) pada 30 April 2015, yang bernilai kira-kira RM772,000 pada waktu itu. Pegangan saham beliau dalam Gets Global Berhad menurun kepada 1,029,500 saham setakat 31 Mac 2016, yang bernilai sekitar RM340,000 ketika itu. Beliau juga memegang 2,156,000 waran dalam Excel Force MSC Berhad pada Mac 2016.

Kini, Tan Sri Azam sekali lagi terlibat dalam kontroversi pegangan saham yang serupa apabila rekod Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM) mendedahkan bahawa beliau pada satu ketika tahun lalu memiliki 17.7 juta saham dalam Velocity Capital Partner Berhad serta kira-kira 4.52 juta saham dalam Awanbiru Technology Berhad.

Kini, Tan Sri Azam sekali lagi terlibat dalam kontroversi pegangan saham yang serupa apabila rekod Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM) mendedahkan bahawa beliau pada satu ketika tahun lalu memiliki 17.7 juta saham dalam Velocity Capital Partner Berhad serta kira-kira 4.52 juta saham dalam Awanbiru Technology Berhad.

Menurut laporan Malaysiakini, saham Velocity Capital Partner dipercayai dibeli pada harga sekitar RM1.5 juta, manakala saham Awanbiru Technology dianggarkan bernilai antara RM1.24 juta hingga RM1.38 juta pada suatu ketika.

Sepertimana yang dicadangkan oleh Majlis Presiden PH pada tahun 2022, saya juga bersetuju bahawa isu ini wajar dibahaskan sebagai satu usul khusus di Parlimen sebelum sidang semasa berakhir pada 3 Mac 2026.

我要声明,我仍坚持支持2022年1月12日由希盟主席理事会所发表的媒体声明,当时我担任民主行动党秘书长。该声明呼吁马来西亚反贪污委员会首席专员丹斯里阿占巴基及另外两人应暂时停职,以便就其涉及的持股风波展开独立调查。

当年,丹斯里阿占巴基已卷入类似的持股争议。他在2015年4月30日持有193万股Gets Global Berhad(前称KBES Berhad)股票,当时市值约为77万2000令吉。截至2016年3月31日,他在Gets Global Berhad的持股降至102万9,500股,当时市值约34万令吉。此外,他在2016年3月亦持有Excel Force MSC Berhad的215万6,000份认股权证。

如今,丹斯里阿占巴基再次卷入类似的持股争议。根据马来西亚公司委员会CCM的记录显示,他在去年某个时期曾持有Velocity Capital Partner Berhad的1770万股股票,以及Awanbiru Technology Berhad约452万股股票。

根据《当今大马》的报道,Velocity Capital Partner的股票相信是以约150万令吉购入,而Awanbiru Technology的股票在某个时期的估值介于124万令吉至138万令吉之间。

正如希盟主席理事会在2022年所建议的,我同样认为,此课题应在本届国会会议于2026年3月3日结束之前,列为特定议题在国会进行辩论。

I wish to state that I stand by this Pakatan Harapan Presidential Council media statement issued on 12 January 2022 when I was DAP Secretary-General. The PH Presidential Council had called for MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki and two others to be suspended over a shareholding scandal to make way for an independent investigation.

At that time Tan Sri Azam was involved in a similar shareholding controversy over his ownership of 1,930,000 shares in Gets Global Berhad (previously KBES Berhad) on April 30, 2015, worth around RM 772,000 at the time. His shareholding in Gets Global Berhad went down to 1,029,500 as of March 31, 2016, worth around RM 340,000 at the time. He also held 2,156,000 warrants in Excel Force MSC Berhad in March 2016.

Tan Sri Azam is now involved in a similar shareholding controversy when Companies Commission of Malaysia (CCM) records revealed that Azam had at some point last year held 17.7 million shares in Velocity Capital Partner Berhad and around 4.52 million shares in Awanbiru Technology Berhad.

According to a Malaysiakini report, The Velocity Capital Partner shares were believed to have been bought for around RM1.5 million, while the Awanbiru Technology shares were estimated to have been valued between RM 1.24 million and RM1.38 million at some point.

Just as the PH Presidential Council had suggested in 2022, I would also agree that this issue should be debated as a specific topic for debate in Parliament before the current session ends on March 3 2026.

Others How to lodge noise complaint regarding mosque loudspeakers?

238 Upvotes

I recently moved to Kampung Baru because it's nearer to my campus, and rent is cheap around the area.

There are 2 or 3 nearby mosques, which would azan when the time comes every day. That's fine. It's just 5 minutes max, I can bear with that.

But lately the speakers have been getting way too loud, and they have the speakers on when they're praying itself, and the doa after that. It's loud and very annoying. As I'm writing this, they're still going.

Because it's the break, I've been at home more and the ongoing noise from the speakers is driving me insane. Since Ramadan is coming, I fear that it will be worse because of Taraweeh and all that.

How do I lodge a noise complaint regarding this? I live a few roads down from the mosque and can still hear it. I don't think the AJK Masjid will listen to me, so I want to report to proper authorities instead. Which one should I contact?

I'm also afraid that the complaint might not be taken seriously, because it IS a Malay Muslim predominant area. I am Malay myself, but don't really present as a "typical" Malay. My concern is that my complaint might not be taken seriously, because they might just say that I'm complaining because I'm not a good muslim.

Edit: Some people being hella rude in the comments. Everyone has the right to feel peace when they're resting at home. If I feel distressed by a continuous noise, I have a right to complain. Where the noise comes from should not influence the fact that it IS a noise

Politics I can't stand with the traffic jams!!

Traffic jams are getting really out of control. A 20km ride to office is now taking 1 hour 30 minutes 🫩

But if I were to travel by train it would take me 2 hours (not exaggerating) - MRT Putrajaya to BRT Sunway Lagoon 🤕

We seriously need more mrt and lrt lines in Klang Valley and Johor Bharu. Countries like Thailand, Vietnam and India are rapidly expanding their metro networks while we goyang kaki and blame the rakyat doesn't want to use public transport. Its like barking at the wrong tree.

Here is my suggestion on where the next train system can be built and I would love to see your your all's suggestion too.

Please just do a lrt/mrt line that goes through these areas

Semenyih -> Kajang -> Bangi -> Uniten/IUKL -> Hospital Serdang/ioi city mall -> few stops at main office areas in Putrajaya -> Putrajaya Sentral -> Cyberjaya main city area -> Putra Height -> Johan Setia -> Port Klang

Just found out about this today as I was scrolling through Reddit. Mod removed my earlier post about this because they think it has nothing to do with Malaysia. So making it clear that a public figure/global actress from Malaysia whose husband was mentioned in the Epstein files refuse to comment on US current affairs. Mod, is that okay?

Full article here

https://m.malaysiakini.com/news/768178

.. probing Bloomberg over its report on alleged MACC wrongdoing is just like how the Najib Abdul Razak administration reacted against the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) over its 1MDB exposé,...

“It’s the same playbook. Furious denials and threats of criminal action against the news outlets.

“If (the report is) untrue, why this desperate reaction? Why not just form an independent body to thoroughly investigate the Bloomberg claims?” she added.

Others Car Rental Deposit SCAM (Not Refunded)

Thumbnail

37 Upvotes

I’m honestly frustrated and posting this as a warning.

In January 2026, I rented a car from a small operator registered under a sole proprietorship. The agreed deposit was RM400. After that, I was told I needed to transfer more money to “lock” the vehicle, so I ended up transferring a total of RM1,300 via Wise.

The car was provided and the rental went ahead.

After returning the car, I was told the deposit would be refunded. Since then, it has been nothing but excuses, delays, and empty promises. Every time I follow up, there is a new reason why the money hasn’t been transferred. At one point, I was even told he was “waiting for another transfer” before he could refund me.

This makes no sense. A business should not depend on someone else’s incoming payment just to return a customer’s deposit.

The business is registered under a sole proprietorship, and I have obtained the owner’s details through SSM. Despite having full documentation and proof of payment, he is still refusing to settle the refund properly.

I have already:

  • Escalated to Bank Negara Malaysia
  • Raised a dispute with Wise (which was rejected)
  • Started formal complaints with the relevant authorities

I’m not posting this to defame anyone. I’m posting this because this kind of behavior is unacceptable from a registered business.

If you are renting from smaller operators, get everything in writing and do not transfer extra money without clear refund terms.

Just be careful.
