Thai Protesters Target Malaysian and US Embassies Over Border Dispute

Bangkok, 22 November - Protesters gathered outside the Malaysian embassy in Bangkok on Saturday (22 November), urging Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to stop his "interference" in Thailand's handling of its border dispute with Cambodia.

The Bangkok Post reports that the protesters also planned to visit the US Embassy, as they feel that Washington is unfairly linking trade talks to Thailand’s right to protect its territory.

The demonstrations were organised by a group called United Power of the Land to Protect Sovereignty, known in Thai as Ruam Palang Phaen Din Pok Pong Athipatai.

Notable attendees included Pichit Chaimongkol, former senator Kaewsan Atibodhi, former red-shirt leader Jatuporn Prompan, and lawyer Nitithorn Lamlua.

The group, waving Thai flags and carrying banners, arrived at the Malaysian Embassy on Sathon Road in a truck with loudspeakers.

They accused Anwar, in his role as the Asean chair, of interfering in Thailand’s efforts to protect its sovereignty.

The protesters demanded that Anwar stop pressuring Thailand to negotiate with Cambodia over disputed border areas.

Pichit stated that while Thai soldiers are risking their lives to clear landmines along the border, Cambodia has hindered demining efforts and not upheld agreements.

Cooperation on demining is one of four key points in a declaration signed last month by the Thai and Cambodian prime ministers in Kuala Lumpur, witnessed by Anwar and US President Donald Trump.

Pichit accused Anwar of overstepping his position as Asean chair by ordering Thailand to cease border operations. He condemned Anwar for “political interference” and claimed Malaysia and the United States were trying to unduly influence Thailand’s decisions.

Kaewsan went further, accusing Cambodian leader Hun Sen of running a family-based regime for over 30 years and portraying Thailand as the aggressor through state-controlled media.

The former senator also alleged that Malaysia has significant investments in Cambodian casinos and that Anwar is using peace talks as a political strategy, despite corruption issues in Malaysia.

He called on Asean to ensure Anwar is “not involved in the regional bloc”.

Officers from the Metropolitan Police Bureau 5 and Thung Mahamek police station set up steel barriers at the entrance of the embassy to keep peace and order.

The US Department of State previously stated that they expected a protest rally between 2pm and 6pm on Saturday.

They noted, “There are no indications at this time that the demonstration will cause any disruption beyond possible traffic delays on Wireless Road.”

Speculation Surrounds Potential Appointment of Nurul Izzah as Selangor Chief Minister

Kuala Lumpur, November 22 – Recent discourse has centered on the possibility of Nurul Izzah Anwar, the eldest daughter of Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, ascending to the position of Chief Minister (Menteri Besar) of Selangor. This development has incited considerable discussion, particularly from a political standpoint.

The present Menteri Besar, Amirudin Shari, has reportedly identified Nurul Izzah as a potential successor, thereby instigating both political and legal deliberations. A focal point of these discussions pertains to the existence of legal impediments that might preclude a woman from holding this office, as well as the necessity of securing the Sultan's approval.

A thorough examination of Selangor's constitutional framework is underway, specifically focusing on the "Laws of the Constitution of Selangor 1959." This legal document vests the authority to appoint the Menteri Besar in the Sultan. Articles 51 and 53 delineate that the Sultan possesses the prerogative to appoint a member of the Legislative Assembly who commands a majority, contingent upon certain stipulations regarding Malay ethnicity and Muslim faith. However, it is also recognized that the Sultan retains discretionary powers to supersede these prerequisites.

Legal scholars and human rights proponents contend that the Selangor constitution contains no explicit legal barrier that would prevent the appointment of a woman as Chief Minister. Hanni Tan, a legal expert, posits that excluding an individual from office based on gender is unconstitutional. Furthermore, she asserts that no specific legal provision exists to prohibit a woman from serving as a state Chief Minister, dismissing arguments based on gender-specific biological factors as legally unfounded.

The discourse extends to the Sultan's discretionary powers in appointing the Chief Minister. While some legal voices argue that the Sultan possesses absolute discretion, others maintain that this discretion is not without limits. The prevailing view is that the appointed individual must command the support of a majority within the state assembly.

Within Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), Nurul Izzah has been proposed as a potential candidate, with proponents emphasizing her progressive political stance and commitment to gender equality.

Despite the potential benefits of such an appointment, challenges remain. These include potential reservations on the part of the Sultan and the imperative of securing broad political support and public acceptance, particularly from segments of the population accustomed to male leadership.

The potential appointment of a woman to the office of Chief Minister represents a potentially transformative moment in Malaysian politics. This possibility has catalyzed significant dialogue among both the public and political actors, potentially signaling a fundamental shift in established political norms within Malaysia.

Australia to Enforce Social Media Ban for Under-16s Starting December 10

Canberra, Australia – In a move aimed at safeguarding the well-being of children, Australia will implement a nationwide ban on social media access for individuals under the age of 16, effective December 10. The new regulations mandate that social media companies actively prevent users below this age threshold from creating accounts on their platforms.

The ban is a response to growing concerns regarding the pressures and potential risks children face online, including cyberbullying, exposure to inappropriate content, and mental health challenges. The legislation targets ten major social media platforms, including industry giants such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

Stringent penalties await companies that fail to comply with the new rules. Serious breaches of the ban could result in fines of up to $49.5 million, underscoring the government's commitment to enforcing the regulations.

To ensure compliance, social media companies will be required to implement robust age verification methods. These may include the use of government-issued identification, facial recognition technology, and age inference algorithms. The implementation of these methods, however, has raised concerns among privacy advocates regarding potential data collection and misuse.

The effectiveness of the ban has also been called into question by some critics, who argue that tech-savvy youngsters may find ways to circumvent the restrictions, potentially driving their online activity to less regulated corners of the internet. Despite these concerns, the Australian government remains steadfast in its commitment to protecting children from the potential harms of social media.

Penang Government Affirms Commitment to Transparent RMKu Housing Scheme Selection Process

George Town, Penang – November 20, 2025 – The Penang state government has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring a transparent and equitable selection process for the Rumah MutiaraKu (RMKu) housing scheme. This announcement underscores the government's dedication to addressing housing needs across the state and providing affordable living options to deserving residents.

During his address at the Penang State Legislative Assembly in Light Street, Datuk Seri Sundarajoo Somu, Chairman of the Penang Housing and Environment Committee, emphasized that the selection and offering process for the RMKu scheme adheres to the highest standards of transparency and integrity. He asserted that the process is devoid of any undue influence or interference from parties with vested interests. All applications undergo meticulous evaluation based on established criteria, including the applicant’s status and seniority on the waiting list, ensuring a fair and impartial assessment.

"The selection and approval decisions are made through formal meetings of the Housing Outcome Performance Committee (HOPE)," Datuk Seri Sundarajoo stated, highlighting the rigorous oversight involved in the allocation process. He further clarified that there are no plans to involve elected representatives from either the government or the opposition in HOPE meetings, reinforcing the government's commitment to maintaining impartiality and objectivity.

Datuk Seri Sundarajoo elaborated that the offering process has been, and will continue to be, executed transparently and in real-time through the Penang Housing Board’s (LPNPP) advanced housing information system. This system provides a clear and accessible platform for monitoring application progress and ensuring timely and equitable allocations.

"As of October 31 this year, HOPE has convened 16 meetings, resulting in 5,567 housing offers being allocated to Penang residents," he reported, underscoring the significant progress in providing affordable housing options.

In addition to the RMKu housing scheme, Datuk Seri Sundarajoo provided updates on key initiatives aimed at enhancing education and community development in Penang. He noted that the proposal to establish a Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Tamil (SMKT) is currently under consideration.

"The committee is carefully considering several key factors, including securing approval from the Ministry of Education (MoE) and addressing all related requirements," he explained. If realized, this proposal would mark a significant milestone as the first Tamil national secondary school in Malaysia, reflecting the government's commitment to supporting diverse educational needs and promoting cultural heritage.

Furthermore, Datuk Seri Sundarajoo announced his intention to introduce special education classes in all 28 existing SJK (T) schools in Penang. This initiative aims to address the learning needs of students requiring specialized support, ensuring access to quality education tailored to individual needs.

"This initiative is currently under review and requires further refinement before implementation," he noted, emphasizing the importance of thorough planning and consideration to ensure the program's success.

The Penang state government's commitment to transparency, fairness, and inclusivity in its housing and education initiatives underscores its vision for a thriving and equitable society. By prioritizing the needs of its residents and fostering a culture of accountability, the government aims to build a better future for all Penangites.

MIC's Strategic Shift: A Calculated Move or Political Opportunism?

IPOH, PERAK (Nov 19, 2025) – The Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) recently convened its 79th Annual General Assembly on November 16, 2025, where a significant resolution was passed, signaling the party's intent to withdraw from the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition, a partnership that has endured since 1973.

However, the resolution was nuanced, expressing continued support for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim until the conclusion of his term. This decision raises critical questions about the motivations and principles guiding MIC's strategic direction.

The planned departure from BN marks a notable shift in allegiance. MIC has historically emphasized its unwavering loyalty to BN, often portraying the coalition as a familial bond essential for safeguarding Indian interests. As recently as 2023, the party voiced concerns about its treatment within BN, likening it to that of a marginalized stepchild, while simultaneously pledging to address these issues from within.

The current decision to exit BN while pledging support for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has been met with criticism. Detractors argue that this move smacks of political opportunism, prioritizing self-interest over steadfast principles. Reports of internal discussions exploring a potential alliance with Perikatan Nasional (PN), the opposition coalition, further compound perceptions of inconsistency and erode public trust.

DAP remains committed to supporting genuine advocates of the MADANI agenda, which champions inclusivity and reform. MIC's political maneuvering carries the risk of fragmenting the electorate and undermining coalition unity. It is imperative that MIC prioritize the collective welfare of the nation over narrow, self-serving objectives.

DAP remains steadfast in its commitment to building a stable and inclusive Unity Government that serves the interests of all Malaysians, according to Thulsi Manogaran, ADUN Buntong, CEC Committee Member of DAP Malaysia, and Assistant Publicity Secretary of DAP Perak, in her Facebook posting today.

Penang Launches Comprehensive Campaign to Revitalize Agriculture Sector

GEORGE TOWN, November 17, 2025 – The Penang State Government has initiated a multi-faceted campaign aimed at enhancing agricultural practices and reclaiming underutilized land, as announced during the Second Meeting of the Third Session of the 15th Penang State Legislative Assembly (DUN).

The initiative focuses on educating farmers and rehabilitating 177.24 hectares of identified abandoned agricultural land. This effort seeks to boost the region's agricultural output and ensure sustainable farming practices.

In response to a query from Mohd. Sobri Salleh, the State Assemblyman (ADUN) for Permatang Berangan, a government representative detailed the modernization initiatives underway. These include the integration of cutting-edge machinery, efficient irrigation systems, and smart agriculture technologies.

"By embracing these modern techniques, we aim to transform our agricultural sector into a more efficient and productive engine of growth," the representative stated.

The government is also prioritizing human capital development by encouraging greater youth participation in agriculture. This includes the establishment of agricultural cooperatives designed to enable local farming groups to achieve competitive incomes through efficient management of agricultural inputs.

Fahmi, a key spokesperson for the initiative, highlighted Penang's continued success in maintaining the highest productivity per hectare for seven consecutive years. This achievement underscores the state's commitment to agricultural excellence and innovation.

The campaign represents a significant investment in the future of Penang's agricultural sector, promising increased productivity, sustainability, and economic benefits for local farmers.

Penang Invests Millions in Tamil School Upgrades

GEORGE TOWN: The Penang state government is significantly enhancing Tamil schools across the region through a multi-million-ringgit investment focused on infrastructure improvements, digital learning resources, and comprehensive student support, according to Datuk Seri S. Sundarajoo, the housing and environment committee chairman.

Datuk Seri S. Sundarajoo, who also leads the Special Committee on Tamil Schools, highlighted that Penang is the only state in Malaysia with a dedicated annual allocation for all Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Tamil (SJKT). Furthermore, Penang has pioneered the integration of technology in education by equipping every SJKT with interactive smartboards.

Addressing the state assembly on Monday (Nov 17) in response to a query from A. Kumaresan (PH–Batu Uban), Datuk Seri Sundarajoo stated, "Many Tamil schools originated as estate schools during the British colonial era. As plantations closed or underwent changes in ownership, these schools were often left with outdated buildings, inadequate facilities, and minimal support." Kumaresan had inquired about the Tamil school committee's initiatives to upgrade infrastructure and foster academic excellence among students.

"Through the Special Committee, we have implemented a structured plan to enhance infrastructure, academic performance, and digital readiness in every SJKT," Datuk Seri Sundarajoo affirmed.

He further noted that over the years, substantial funds have been allocated to classroom renovations, computer laboratories, digital learning equipment, and academic enrichment programs.

In 2025, the state has earmarked RM2.3 million for 28 SJKT and 14 Tamil kindergartens. These funds will facilitate classroom repairs, roof and toilet upgrades, enhancements to preschool facilities, teacher training programs, and the procurement of essential school equipment and digital tools.

The state government is also prioritizing support for B40 families by focusing on upgrading Tamil kindergartens.

In April, Penang hosted its inaugural SJKT Sports Carnival, which involved over 1,000 students, teachers, and parents from all 28 Tamil schools. The event was designed to promote teamwork and strengthen community engagement.

Regarding the status of the new SJKT Sungai Bakap building, Datuk Seri Sundarajoo clarified that discussions have taken place with the Education Minister. However, the project remains contingent upon the resolution of an ongoing court case. The Education Ministry is unable to proceed with construction until the legal matter is settled, to avoid any interference with the judicial process.
