BANGI: The Asian Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute (AOSHRI) has established its permanent secretariat office at the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) headquarters in Bandar Baru Bangi, marking Malaysia’s commitment to advancing occupational safety and health (OSH) across ASEAN. Deputy Human Resource Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Mohamad highlighted the office’s dual role as an administrative hub and a regional research center. “This aligns with the Kuala Lumpur Declaration on ASEAN 2045, fostering inclusive OSH research and policy coordination,“ he said during the ASEAN OSH Summit 2025 launch.

The summit also introduced Malaysia’s MaRINA 3.0 framework, a blueprint for regional OSH research. Developed through workshops with ILO and global experts, it prioritizes emerging risks and industrial transformation. - Bernama

SHAH ALAM - Dunia perlu bersatu menghentikan sikap ‘raksasa’ Amerika Syarikat (AS) dan Israel yang berterusan melakukan kekejaman terhadap rakyat Palestin.Bekas Perdana Menteri, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad berkata, kepungan yang dilakukan oleh kedua-dua negara bersekutu itu perlu ditentang, meskipun memerlukan kekerasan.Menurutnya, Israel ketika ini menggunakan kebuluran sebagai ‘senjata’ untuk membunuh rakyat Palestin, dengan kebanyakan mangsa terdiri daripada wanita dan kanak-kanak."Dunia hanya memerhati. Dunia tidak boleh berbuat apa-apa kerana takut dengan reaksi AS yang dilihat bersedia untuk menghukum mana-mana negara yang cuba membantu rakyat Palestin yang tenat. AS menyokong strategi kebuluran oleh Israel untuk membunuh."Satu-satunya negara yang boleh campur tangan juga AS, tetapi jelas mereka tidak akan berbuat demikian, sebaliknya campur tangan dilakukan ialah dengan menyebelahi Israel."Kita perlu pasukan penjaga keamanan untuk melindungi rakyat Palestin di Gaza daripada tindakan tidak berperikemanusiaan oleh Israel dan AS. Raksasa ini mesti dihentikan," katanya menerusi hantaran di Facebook pada Isnin.Menurut laporan media antarabangsa, angka terkini menunjukkan seramai 134 rakyat Palestin, termasuk 88 kanak-kanak, meninggal dunia akibat kebuluran dan kekurangan zat makanan sejak 7 Oktober 2023.Agensi Bantuan dan Kerja Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu bagi Pelarian Palestin di Asia Barat (UNRWA) memberi amaran bahawa kadar kekurangan zat makanan dalam kalangan kanak-kanak di bawah usia lima tahun meningkat dua kali ganda antara Mac dan Jun, akibat sekatan berterusan.

KUALA LUMPUR : Perikatan Nasional (PN) has commended Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for his pivotal role in brokering a ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia. PN deputy chairman and Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin acknowledged the diplomatic effort as a historic contribution to regional peace. Hamzah stated, “Whatever role played by the Honourable Tambun member (Anwar), even if described by some as simply that of a host, it remains a contribution that will be recorded in history. I offer my congratulations and appreciation.” He emphasised Malaysia’s standing as a credible mediator in Southeast Asia. The ceasefire agreement was reached on July 28 during a special meeting in Putrajaya chaired by Anwar, with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thailand’s Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai in attendance. Both nations also agreed to convene a General Border Committee Meeting to reinforce the truce. Hamzah urged Malaysia to maintain its proactive stance in global peacekeeping, particularly amid ongoing conflicts in Gaza, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East. He stressed the need for measured diplomacy, stating, “The Prime Minister, Foreign Minister, and the entire Cabinet bear a great responsibility to ensure their statements and actions remain composed and measured.” On trade relations, Hamzah addressed the US’s 19 per cent tariff on Malaysian goods, effective Aug 1, advocating for dignified trade policies that protect national sovereignty. - Bernama

KUCHING : The Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) is prepared to upgrade its personnel and equipment to handle potential risks linked to the proposed construction of a nuclear power plant in the country. JBPM Director-General Datuk Seri Nor Hisham Mohammad confirmed that the department has already taken proactive steps by training 429 personnel across 17 Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) Response Teams nationwide. These teams are equipped to manage radioactive exposure incidents. “The technology for nuclear plant construction and fire prevention systems is well-developed and adheres to international safety standards. However, the industry must supply monitoring tools like dosimeters and detection devices to nearby fire stations,” he said after officiating the 2024 Fire Service Medal Awards ceremony. Nor Hisham added that reactor safety would depend on the plant’s final design and site plan. JBPM will collaborate with other agencies to develop a detailed emergency response strategy. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof recently stated that the government is assessing the feasibility of nuclear power projects in Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah to meet rising energy demands. As Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation, Fadillah noted that proximity to water sources—such as rivers, seas, or large lakes—is a key factor in the ongoing study for the plant’s cooling system. - Bernama

A return date for Lionel Messi to the Inter Miami lineup is uncertain, but the Herons announced Sunday that the superstar's right leg injury isn't serious. Messi came out of Miami's Leagues Cup match against Necaxa on Saturday in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in the 11th minute, shortly after getting hurt in a collision with two opponents. After Messi underwent medical tests, the team issued a statement on Sunday that read, in part, “The results confirmed a minor muscle injury in his right leg. His medical clearance will depend on his clinical progress and response to treatment.” In Messi's absence, Inter Miami rallied late to equalize the match at 2-2, then prevailed 5-4 in a tiebreaking penalty-kick shootout. Through two Leagues Cup matches, Miami sits in second place in the MLS standings with one regulation win and one shootout win, good for five points. The top four of the 18 MLS clubs in the competition will advance to the quarterfinals, where they will be joined by the top four of the tournament's 18 Liga Mx clubs. The Herons conclude the group phase with a Wednesday home match at Pumas UNAM. Inter Miami resumes MLS regular-season action on Aug. 10 at Orlando City. Messi, 38, has 18 regular-season goals this year, tied for the MLS lead with Nashville SC's Sam Surridge. In Leagues Cup play, he assisted on both of Miami's goals in a 2-1 opening win over Atlas on Wednesday. An eight-time Ballon d'Or winner and a 2022 World Cup champion with Argentina, Messi is in his third season with Inter Miami - REUTERS
