Rukun Negara remains a pillar in shaping a united, harmonious Malaysia - JPNIN DG

Rukun Negara remains a pillar in shaping a united, harmonious Malaysia - JPNIN DG

KUALA LUMPUR: The Rukun Negara continues to be a key foundation in fostering unity and harmony in Malaysian society, especially among the youth who will lead the nation in the future, said National Unity and Integration Department (JPNIN) director-general Zulkifli Hashim. He said the five principles of Rukun Negara are not merely slogans or ceremonial phrases but essential elements for the country’s stability and prosperity. “Rukun Negara remains highly relevant. To build a united and prosperous nation, we must have a common foundation, and that foundation is Rukun Negara. These principles should not just be recited but should be deeply understood and practiced by every Malaysian in their daily life,“ he said during Bernama TV’s Ruang Bicara programme last night. Zulkifli noted that following the tragic May 13, 1969 incident, which deeply scarred the nation’s history, Rukun Negara was created as a national consensus aimed at uniting the people and preventing racial divisions. He stressed the need to strengthen Rukun Negara’s understanding among the youth through education, community programmes, and public campaigns. JPNIN has been actively promoting initiatives such as the Rukun Negara Club in schools and universities, the Rukun Negara School programme, and special curriculum modules to ensure a deeper understanding of the principles. “We don’t want the youth to simply memorise the principles. They must understand that ‘Loyalty to the King and Country’ is not just about the royal institution. It is about a commitment to the nation, respecting the law, and rejecting anything that threatens the country’s well-being,“ Zulkifli explained. He also pointed out that the principle of ‘Courtesy and Morality’ extends beyond politeness in conversation. It involves ethical behavior on social media, respecting differing views, and rejecting hate culture that undermines unity. Zulkifli reminded that the responsibility of upholding national unity does not solely lie with the government. It requires the support of all sectors of society, including the private sector, non-governmental organisations, community leaders, and social media influencers. He also recognised the crucial role the media plays in promoting unity, acting as a bridge between government policies and the people. “Media is not just about providing information. It is a catalyst for unity. When media platforms amplify constructive voices that unite the people, the positive impact on society is immense,“ he said. The Ministry of National Unity is currently running the Taat Setia Rukun Negara campaign, which began on Aug 1 and will end on Sept 16, marking the 55th anniversary of the Rukun Negara declaration. - Bernama

Apple sued for allegedly stealing tech behind Apple Pay

Apple sued for allegedly stealing tech behind Apple Pay

APPLE has been sued by a Texas company that accused the iPhone maker of stealing its technology to create its lucrative mobile wallet Apple Pay. In a complaint made public on Thursday, Fintiv said Apple Pay’s key features were based on technology developed by CorFire, which Fintiv bought in 2014, and now used in hundreds of millions of iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches and MacBooks. Apple did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Fintiv, based in Austin, Texas, said Apple held multiple meetings in 2011 and 2012 and entered nondisclosure agreements with CorFire aimed at licensing its mobile wallet technology, to capitalize on fast-growing demand for contactless payments. Instead, and with the help of CorFire employees it lured away, Apple used the technology and trade secrets to launch Apple Pay in the United States and dozens of other countries, beginning in 2014, the complaint said. Fintiv also said Apple has led an informal racketeering enterprise by using Apple Pay to generate fees for credit card issuers such as Bank of America, Capital One, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo, and the payment networks American Express, Mastercard and Visa. “This is a case of corporate theft and racketeering of monumental proportions,“ enabling Cupertino, California-based Apple to generate billions of dollars of revenue without paying Fintiv “a single penny,“ the complaint said. In a statement, Fintiv’s lawyer Marc Kasowitz called Apple’s conduct “one of the most egregious examples of corporate malfeasance” he has seen in 45 years of law practice. The lawsuit in Atlanta federal court seeks compensatory and punitive damages for violations of federal and Georgia trade secrets and anti-racketeering laws, including RICO. Apple is the only defendant. CorFire was based in Alpharetta, Georgia, an Atlanta suburb. On August 4, a federal judge in Austin dismissed Fintiv’s related patent infringement lawsuit against Apple, four days after rejecting some of Fintiv’s claims, court records show. Fintiv agreed to the dismissal, and plans to “appeal on the existing record,“ the records show. The case is Fintiv Inc v Apple Inc, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Georgia, No. 25-04413. - Reuters

PSG mahu singkir Donnarumma, sanggup bayar RM272 juta dapatkan Chevalier

PSG mahu singkir Donnarumma, sanggup bayar RM272 juta dapatkan Chevalier

PENJAGA gol antarabangsa Itali, Gianluigi Donnarumma dilaporkan bakal disingkirkan daripada Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) selepas kelab itu sanggup membayar €55 juta (RM272 juta) bagi mendapatkan pengganti, Lucas Chevalier, berbanding memenuhi tuntutan gajinya.Situasi itu memuncak selepas rundingan kontrak antara Donnarumma dan PSG gagal mencapai kata sepakat, memaksa kelab gergasi Perancis itu mencari penjaga gol baharu.Apa yang mengejutkan ialah kos perpindahan yang begitu tinggi, sedangkan Donnarumma terpaksa meninggalkan kelab hanya kerana PSG tidak lagi sanggup membayar gaji yang diterimanya sejak menyertai pasukan itu secara percuma daripada AC Milan pada 2021.Menurut laporan RMC Sport, PSG mencapai persetujuan dengan LOSC Lille bernilai €40 juta (RM198 juta) ditambah €15 juta (RM74 juta) insentif, sekali gus menjadikan Chevalier antara penjaga gol termahal dalam sejarah bola sepak.Akhbar L’Equipe pula mendedahkan PSG mahu melengkapkan perpindahan itu secepat mungkin supaya Chevalier dapat beraksi dalam Piala Super UEFA menentang Tottenham Hotspur pada 13 Ogos ini di Stadio Friuli, Udine.Perlawanan itu pada mulanya dinantikan Donnarumma kerana ia berlangsung di negaranya, namun kini difahamkan dia sudah pun bermain perlawanan terakhir bersama PSG.Musim lalu, Donnarumma memainkan peranan penting membantu PSG merangkul trofi Liga Juara-Juara, Ligue 1, Coupe de France dan Piala Super Perancis.Pemain berusia 25 tahun itu turut tersenarai sebagai calon Anugerah Ballon d’Or serta Yachine Award.
