KUALA LUMPUR : Malaysia was excluded from the Gaza peace plan summit in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt due to its position of conditional support for the initiative. Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan explained that Malaysia was viewed as offering qualified backing rather than indiscriminate endorsement. “We support the peace agreement, but with clarification on our stance, and not supporting it blindly,“ he told reporters during a press conference at the Concorde Club. Mohamad said Malaysia had expressed its position through an explanation of vote in the New York Declaration last July. “By explanation of vote – that is our position on the Palestinian struggle,“ he added. The minister elaborated that Malaysia’s conditional support centers on key principles for Palestine. These include establishing an independent Palestinian state and ensuring Palestinians’ right of return to their homeland. Malaysia also insists on borders according to pre-1967 lines and designating East Jerusalem as the capital. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had earlier stated Malaysia supports the US peace plan as reconciliation efforts are crucial to end Gaza killings and destruction. According to Anadolu Ajansi, over 20 world leaders attended the summit co-chaired by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and US President Donald Trump. The first phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement took effect last Friday under Trump’s 20-point plan to end Israel’s two-year war in the region. The press conference was chaired by Bernama Chairman Datuk Seri Wong Chun Wai with Bernama Editor-in-Chief Arul Rajoo Durar Raj also present. The Concorde Club is an informal group bringing together senior editors from local and international media agencies. – Bernama

“MEETING , meeting, meeting. When are we actually going to get work done?” Have you ever heard complaints like this from your colleagues? If not, come work with me, because I’m the one who’ll be saying this straight to your ears. Lol, just kidding. While the importance of meetings can’t be denied, sometimes they can reduce productivity especially when they require travel or pulling us away from our workstations. That said, every meeting should ideally have meeting minutes to recap and record what was discussed and decided. And that’s exactly why the role of a minute-taker exists. However, an unidentified individual recently shared their version of meeting minutes, done in a way that was simple, elegant, and hilarious. The person wrote: “Minutes of the meeting: - 37 minutes.” The photo was uploaded to the Facebook page TheMalaysian and has received 1,200 likes since it was posted yesterday. Most Facebook users found it hilarious, once again proving that Malaysians are pretty easy to entertain.

LA PAZ : Bolivians will select between two rightwing figures in Sunday’s presidential elections, concluding two decades of socialist governance that has left the South American nation in severe economic distress. Struggle-weary voters firmly rejected the Movement Toward Socialism party founded by former president Evo Morales during the first electoral round in August. Sunday’s runoff will determine whether Senator Rodrigo Paz or former president Jorge Quiroga leads the country forward. This election marks the end of an economic experiment that began with prosperity from Morales’s oil and gas nationalisations but culminated in critical fuel and foreign currency shortages under incumbent Luis Arce. The lithium-rich nation of 11.3 million people faces its worst economic crisis in forty years, with long queues common at gas stations and stores selling subsidised rice and oil. “There is desperation; most people live day to day,“ said Pamela Roque, a 29-year-old surgical technician considering emigration due to job scarcity. Under Morales, Bolivia achieved South America’s fastest economic growth while dramatically reducing poverty and unemployment through hydrocarbon revenue. Insufficient sector investment under Morales’s ally-turned-rival Luis Arce caused oil production to plummet and nearly depleted dollar reserves sustaining universal fuel subsidies. Arce will leave office on November 8 after serving a single presidential term from 2020 without seeking reelection. Quiroga holds a narrow lead with 44.9% voter intention compared to Paz’s 36.5% support according to an Ipsos-Ciesmori survey. The winner inherits an economy in recession according to World Bank assessments and faces significant challenges. “With either of the two, if quick solutions are not provided, the social cost and the risk of protests will be high,“ political scientist Ana Lucia Velasco told AFP. Quiroga proposes a $12 billion economic injection through international loans and bolstering foreign investment. Paz advocates balancing the budget before acquiring additional loans despite Bolivia’s external debt approaching one-third of GDP. Both candidates propose maintaining fuel subsidies solely for public transportation and vulnerable sectors while preserving social programs. Velasco argues that maintaining subsidies while stabilising the economy represents an impossible combination. “People have their hopes pinned on electoral promises that are very difficult, perhaps impossible, to fulfill,“ she told AFP. Bolivian voter Jorge Serrano expressed distrust toward both candidates while highlighting pension inadequacy. Morales remains influential among Indigenous voters despite constitutional term limits and faces human trafficking allegations he denies. “Together with the people we will take the fight to the streets,“ Morales vowed regarding potential rightwing victory. – AFP

PUTRAJAYA : Kerajaan bersetuju membuka kemudahan permohonan kuota penggajian pekerja asing secara case by case bagi tiga sektor utama iaitu perladangan, pertanian serta perlombongan dan pengkuarian. Sebanyak 10 subsektor terpilih dilibatkan dalam kemudahan ini termasuk kawalan keselamatan, barangan logam dan lusuh, serta pembersihan dan pencucian bangunan. Subsektor lain yang layak ialah borong runcit, dobi, restoran, gudang darat, kargo, pembinaan di bawah projek kerajaan, dan pelaburan baharu di bawah MIDA. Menteri Dalam Negeri Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail berkata kemudahan ini bertujuan memenuhi keperluan tenaga kerja dalam sektor kritikal. Beliau menegaskan pendekatan ini mencerminkan komitmen kerajaan MADANI untuk menyeimbangkan kepentingan ekonomi dan kebajikan rakyat. Majikan yang memerlukan pekerja asing boleh mengemukakan permohonan kuota secara terus kepada Pusat Sehenti Pengurusan Pekerja Asing Kementerian Dalam Negeri.

Kemudahan ini menunjukkan komitmen kerajaan untuk mengekalkan dasar penggajian pekerja asing yang fleksibel dan berpaksikan keperluan industri. Pendekatan case by case memberi ruang kepada kerajaan untuk meneliti semula dasar pengurusan penggajian pekerja asing pada tahun hadapan. Kerajaan mensasarkan siling jumlah pekerja asing hanya 10 peratus daripada jumlah guna tenaga negara menjelang tahun 2030. – Bernama
