PAS vice-president Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar has denied that the party has ever held political discussions with anyone from the Madani coalition.
He said any talks between the two were official business only.
Former Bersih chairperson Ambiga Sreenevasan, once a supporter of Pakatan Harapan, criticized the government on X last night for imposing new licensing laws on social media.
Ambiga expressed disappointment that a Harapan-led government would break its promises to reform outdated laws like the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984.
Perikatan Nasional has announced former Gua Musang PAS deputy youth chief Mohd Rizwadi Ismail as the coalition’s candidate in the upcoming Nenggiri by-election.
Kelantan Menteri Besar Mohd Nassuruddin Daud revealed Rizwadi’s candidacy during a function attended by top PAS and Bersatu leaders, with a notable absence of representatives from Gerakan.
Rizwadi is a 41-year-old retired navy officer who has joined Bersatu but will contest the seat under the PAS logo, Nassuruddin added.

#KiniNews: Quit PN if you cannot respect others, Sanusi tells Gerakan
Perikatan Nasional election director Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor is the latest PAS leader to make it clear that no tears would be shed if Gerakan chose to leave the coalition.
The Kedah menteri besar also said the Gerakan leadership must learn to respect the Malays and Islam in Malaysia.
Earlier Gerakan deputy president Oh Tong Keong said the party would not hesitate to leave PN if it means defending the Chinese education system.
He said Gerakan would not stay in a coalition if it is forced to accept extremely conservative and unreasonable demands of a "particular party".

Former education minister Maszlee Malik’s call for Aiman Athirah Sabu’s head to roll over the Tiger Beer saga has left Amanah communications director Khalid Abdul Samad puzzled.

There must be some conclusiveness within a proportionate timeframe for the investigation into the death of Teoh Beng Hock, said lawyer Ramkarpal Singh Deo.

A decade ago, on July 14, 2014, Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was shot down by a Russian-made Buk missile over eastern Ukraine, killing all 298 people on board, including 43 Malaysians.
On November 17, 2022, the Hague District Court sentenced two Russians, Igor Girkin and Sergei Dubinsky, and Ukrainian Leonid Kharchenko to life imprisonment for their role in the downing of MH17 and the murders of those aboard. Another Russian, Oleg Pulatov, was acquitted.
Yet, none of those responsible have been imprisoned.
Five Malaysian media outlets, including Malaysiakini, were invited to attend the 10th year commemoration event which took place on July 17 at the MH17 National Monument in Park Vijfhuizen, near Schiphol Airport.

PAS is not ‘taikor’, Gerakan won’t hesitate to quit PN - Oh
Gerakan will not hesitate to quit Perikatan Nasional if it means defending Chinese education, said party deputy president Oh Tong Keong.
In a statement yesterday, he also said Gerakan would leave the coalition if forced to accept the extreme demands of a "particular party."
Oh responded to Ahmad Fadhli Shaari's warning that Perikatan Nasional might drop Gerakan in the next election due to their differing views on a brewery funding vernacular schools.

#KiniNews: Wan Fayhsal could be next Anwar?; Four suspects in Albertine Leo's case out on bail
[KiniNews] While certain parties have often ridiculed Machang MP Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal for his views, an academic on the other hand sees great potential in the figure of the Bersatu Youth leader.
In the eyes of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) political science professor, Ahmad Fauzi Abdul Hamid, he does not rule out the possibility that Wan Fayhsal can go further and be significant in politics.
He said there are some quality characteristics in Wan Fayhsal such as high spirit, outspokenness and concern for the plight of Muslims abroad.
