    PKR student leaders quit party; DAP MP questions govt over RON95 fuel subsidy reform

    KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] Eight central leadership council members of PKR’s student wing, Mahasiswa Keadilan Malaysia (MKM), announced that they have quit the party, citing a loss of confidence in party president Anwar Ibrahim in his capacity as prime minister.Its chairperson, Ram Erfan Zur Nuqman, confirmed the matter during a press conference in Petaling Jaya last night.“We reject the culture of blindly defending the party while the principles of the struggle are increasingly being abandoned. Accordingly, eight members of the MKM central leadership council are announcing their resignation from the party today,” he said.Meanwhile, in a separate story, a DAP MP has reminded the government that income bracket labels do not necessarily reflect a person’s actual financial circumstances.Kepong lawmaker Lim Lip Eng stressed that any plan to remove the full fuel subsidy for those in the T20 high-income group must be supported by a sound and effective mechanism.He said the government must not make the mistake of looking only at income while ignoring real-life expenses.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv

    Azam responds to anti-MACC protesters; PKR student leader denies Anwar no-confidence claim

    KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] Outgoing MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki has questioned motives behind the organising of protests against the anti-graft agency, dismissing such displays from “problematic” individuals seeking to serve their self-interests.Azam, whose contract is due to expire tomorrow, asserted that those who hold demonstrations outside the MACC’s headquarters, criticise the MACC or lodge police reports are plagued by “problems” of their own, whether in the form of emotional issues or legal matters.“Some have been charged in court, (but) they choose to gather in front of our office - maybe they are hoping for sympathy so that their case will be withdrawn,” he theorised during a podcast session which aired today.He said this when asked for his thoughts on those who had supposedly attempted to “destabilise” the MACC by issuing criticisms, holding protests, and filing police reports.Meanwhile, in a separate story, barely an hour after PKR’s student wing, Mahasiswa Keadilan Malaysia (MKM), issued a statement on “losing confidence” in the party under the leadership of Anwar Ibrahim, the wing’s secretary-general, Aqeef Salih, issued a denial.Afqeef claimed that the earlier media statement did not represent the wing’s official stance.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv

    KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] Former economy minister Rafizi Ramli described his first day of questioning by the MACC regarding the government’s deal with semiconductor firm Arm Holdings as being focused on procedural matters.“It is straightforward because the investigation, at this stage, is not related to money or corruption, but concerns procedures… all of which are in government records,” he told reporters before heading into the MACC headquarters this morning for a second day of questioning.Meanwhile, in a separate story, DAP adviser Lim Guan Eng has branded Umno and BN as “untrustworthy partners” in the unity government and urged the rakyat to reject them in the next election.The Bagan MP cited Negeri Sembilan BN’s recent attempt to topple Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun as proof that Pakatan Harapan cannot rely on its friendship.Lim said this in response to criticism of the Rain Rave Water Festival 2026, including from BN, UMNO, PN and PAS.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv
