    KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] The political secretary to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has criticised Khairy Jamaluddin for alleging that caretaker Negeri Sembilan menteri besar Aminuddin Harun had failed to safeguard the interests of the Malay-Muslim community in the state.Kamil Abdul Munim reminded Khairy that voting for Umno is not a guarantee that Malay rights will remain secure, adding that such rights are instead guaranteed by the Federal Constitution and the Malay rulers.He also asked Khairy to specify which Malay rights had been eroded or undermined under Aminuddin’s leadership, instead saying that such rights are typically threatened by “corrupt Malays."Meanwhile, in a separate story, BN is projected to retain its position as the ruling Johor government, with DAP potentially becoming the largest party in the opposition following the July 11 state election, according to political analyst Ibrahim Suffian.Ibrahim, a programmes director at the Merdeka Center, opined that based on observations thus far, BN could keep between 40 and 42 seats in the election, with Pakatan Harapan component members Amanah and PKR possibly bagging one and two seats, respectively.Read Malaysiakini's full investigation on how Malaysia's child sexual abuse materials industry operates and how to identify it, report it and stop the harm from spreading: https://newslab.malaysiakini.com/ai-child-harm/telegram/en/ ___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv

    Azam's tenure as NFCC adviser expires in 2027; Ex-DAP MP projects defeat for Harapan

    KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] The National Financial Crime Prevention Centre (NFCC) today clarified that former MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki was present at the centre's advisory board meeting on June 30 as he remains a legitimate member.NFCC director-general Shamsun Baharin Jamil said Azam was appointed as an NFCC advisory board member by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on Sept 20, 2024, for a period of three years."The appointment was made in his individual capacity with the consent of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. Therefore, his membership in the NFCC advisory board is not tied to his position as MACC chief commissioner and remains valid until the expiry of his appointment term, unless it is terminated earlier by the Agong," he said.Meanwhile, in a separate story, a study by former DAP lawmaker Ong Kian Ming predicts a bleak outcome for Pakatan Harapan in the Johor state election, projecting that the coalition could face an almost complete wipeout at the hands of BN.The former Bangi MP said he did an early projection of three likely scenarios for the state polls, all of which conclude that BN will maintain control of the state albeit with different degrees of success.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv
