Tiada parti dominan, UMNO terbuka bentuk kerajaan bersama - Ahmad Zahid

PUTATAN – Presiden UMNO, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi menyatakan kesediaan parti itu untuk bekerjasama dengan mana-mana gabungan atau parti politik bagi membentuk kerajaan selepas Pilihan Raya Negeri ke-17 (PRN17).Beliau yang juga Pengerusi BN berkata, analisis telah menunjukkan bahawa tiada satu pun parti atau gabungan yang benar-benar dominan untuk membentuk kerajaan negeri secara bersendirian."Realitinya dalam analisis yang dilakukan, tidak ada satu-satu parti politik atau gabungan yang dominan. Itu hakikatnya."Insya-ALLAH, UMNO sanggup bekerjasama dengan mana-mana gabungan dan parti untuk membentuk kerajaan supaya sama-sama kita berkongsi kuasa. Dan insya-ALLAH di bawah BN, kita berjanji untuk satu perkara pertama, kita akan laksanakan semua aku janji yang tercatat dalam manifesto yang akan kita laksanakan," katanya.Timbalan Perdana Menteri merangkap Menteri Kemajuan Desa dan Wilayah itu berkata demikian dalam ucapannya pada Program Pemerkasaan Wanita MARA dan Seminar Kenegaraan Malaysia Madani 2025 di sini pada Sabtu.Ahmad Zahid turut menegaskan bahawa konsep 'Sabah for Sabahan' tidak seharusnya dijadikan retorik politik menjelang pilihan raya, sebaliknya rakyat Sabah perlu melihat diri mereka sebagai sebahagian daripada Malaysia yang bersatu di bawah satu negara."Siapa kata 'Sabah for Sabahan'? Tidak. Ini negara Malaysia. Bukan ada orang Sabah, bukan orang Selangor, bukan orang Perak, bukan orang Semenanjung."Kita tetap rakyat Malaysia yang taat setia kepada negara kita, tidak kira negeri. Di mana bumi dipijak, di situ langit dijunjung," tegasnya.Menurut beliau, menjelang pilihan raya sering timbul sentimen yang memisahkan rakyat mengikut negeri, namun hakikatnya perjuangan UMNO dan BN di Sabah sejak awal adalah untuk membantu dan membangunkan negeri ini."Bila dekat pilihan raya, ada yang mula cakap 'Sabah for Sabahan', ini parti Malaya. Itu sebabnya saya ingin jelaskan, atas perbincangan saya dengan Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan, kenapa UMNO Sabah dan BN Sabah diberikan kuasa autonomi."Kerana kita anggap UMNO Sabah dan BN Sabah bukan parti Malaya, tetapi parti rakyat Sabah sendiri. Orang Sabah lah yang meminta UMNO datang ke Sabah untuk membantu rakyat negeri ini," katanya.Tambah beliau lagi, UMNO dan BN telah banyak menyumbang kepada pembangunan negeri ini, dan dengan mandat baharu, parti itu yakin mampu melakukan lebih baik demi rakyat Sabah."UMNO dan BN-lah yang memberikan pembangunan di Sabah. Sekarang, bila dekat pilihan raya, muncul slogan baharu. Tapi saya mohon, beri peluang kali ini kepada BN. Kita tahu bagaimana untuk melakukan sesuatu yang lebih baik daripada sebelumnya," ujarnya.

Malaysia ranks first globally for official data availability and openness

LIPIS : The national celebration of World Statistics Day 2025 was held in Sungai Koyan to heighten public awareness about statistics for national development. Chief Statistician Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin said organising the celebration here provided rural communities an opportunity to understand how data and statistics plan health, education and employment facilities. He emphasised that statistics form the foundation for policy decisions impacting people’s well-being and rural development sustainability. “Hospitals and schools are not built spontaneously but are planned based on birth data and educational needs recorded by the Department of Statistics Malaysia,” he explained. Mohd Uzir highlighted Malaysia’s global excellence, ranking first for official data availability, openness and accessibility through digital initiatives like OpenDOSM. He spoke after the official launch by Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail at Laman Sejahtera Jelai in Sungai Koyan. DOSM’s latest innovations include a life expectancy calculator and Minimum Acceptable Living Expenses tool assessing costs based on family profile, age and location. “Such data helps employers and employees understand local living costs, supporting balanced dialogue on wages and productivity,” he said. DOSM is developing the TANYA DOSM mobile application for easier public access to official data interactively. Sungai Koyan was chosen as venue to focus on the growing rural community through the ‘Statistics the Pulse of Life’ themed celebration. Various programmes ran for three days including a Datathon competition, debates and community engagement with university students and local residents. The celebration featured the Prime Minister’s Forum on Islamic Affairs about AI and statistics benefits for the Muslim community. It served as a knowledge-sharing platform on artificial intelligence potential in national data collection and analysis. – Bernama
