Good morning. Here's our news and views that matter for today.Key HighlightsFull disclosure - nothing less‘Princess of Reformasi’ stands firmAnother bombshell lands on NajibFull disclosure - nothing lessFormer DAP lawmaker Charles Santiago has found an unlikely ally in MCA as he steps up pressure on Putrajaya to disclose the findings into MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki’s shareholdings.
For Charles, nothing short of full disclosure will do, warning the government against issuing sanitised summaries or selective excerpts.“The demand is simple, and it is non-negotiable: release the report in full. Not summaries, not selective briefings, not carefully curated excerpts. Full disclosure,” he said, cautioning that more is at stake than just the reputations of certain individuals.As Putrajaya’s silence drags on, MCA vice-president Wee Jeck Seng and Youth secretary-general Saw Yee Fung have also piled on the pressure, warning it will only deepen public suspicion.The calls come following a Bloomberg report quoting sources claiming that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim had asked “key people” in the probe of Azam’s shareholdings to hold off from making their findings public.The government has denied Bloomberg’s report and said the Attorney-General’s Chambers will take action against the business news outlet.Beyond the shareholdings controversy, MACC is also under fire over allegations it colluded with businesspersons to engineer corporate takeovers. The commission has vehemently denied the charge.HIGHLIGHTSPKR MP calls for Padu optimisation amid fuel subsidy cutsNo laughing matter: Loke says govt in 'crisis mode' to tackle Iran war falloutHours after deadline, Chin still silent on identity of 'RM9.5m' PKR MP‘Princess of Reformasi’ stands firmNurul Izzah Anwar has quashed rumours of her resignation as PKR deputy president, which surfaced amid a series of controversies engulfing her father’s administration, with the MACC scandal taking centre stage.Crowned the “Princess of Reformasi” after Anwar Ibrahim’s unceremonious exit from government in 1998, Nurul Izzah emphasised that she remains committed to carrying out the mandate entrusted to her.“I wish to clarify that claims regarding my resignation are not true.“I remain committed to carrying out this mandate in line with my responsibilities and the party’s processes, and there have been no changes to the leadership structure,” she said.Nurul Izzah’s father, Anwar, who, aside from being the prime minister, serves as PKR president and Pakatan Harapan chairperson, had promised sweeping reforms if his coalition came to power. Yet critics accuse him of backtracking on that pledge.HIGHLIGHTSFrom secrecy to sharingGovt defends 'developmental' EV policy after Chinese carmaker reviews plant projectRawang temple dispute: High Court rules in favour of landowner over demolitionAnother bombshell lands on NajibNajib Abdul Razak’s legal woes appear to be never-ending.The imprisoned former premier has now been ordered to repay SRC International Sdn Bhd US$1.18 billion for losses the government-linked company had suffered.The Kuala Lumpur High Court also directed him to repay US$120 million of SRC funds that flowed into the former finance minister’s bank account.In his verdict, judge Ahmad Fairuz Zainal Abidin said Najib was liable for breaching his fiduciary duty and committing misfeasance in public office, with the totality of the evidence that “tips overwhelmingly in favour of SRC’s version” based on documentary records, fund flows, and personal admissions.The court, however, allowed an interim stay of execution to enable Najib to file a formal application for a stay pending appeal within 14 days.HIGHLIGHTSTamil portal journalist under probe for 'trespass' freed on police bail'I'm struggling': Ex-Kedah FC star turns to crowdfunding over unpaid wagesRising racial and religious rhetoric in Parliament, report findsViews that matterGhost of Battersea revisitsBy P GunasegaramDrink driving: Not about race, but prevention and stricter penaltiesBy Kasthuri PattoSPM is a guide, not one's destinyBy KT MaranIn case you missed itDeputy unity minister warns AI racial, religious posts being 'weaponised'Father of three killed in crash left home to buy maths book for childFact check: Did US defense secretary declare Islam an enemy?HIGHLIGHTSNo toll charges for 'friendly' Malaysian vessels, says Iranian envoyBangladeshi recruitment agencies protest syndicate monopolising labour to M'siaRafizi: NexG more than just corporate drama, business dispute
