PUTRAJAYA, 2 APRIL -- Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has called for urgent and coordinated efforts to strengthen rural economic resilience as global uncertainties continue to impact Malaysia’s grassroots communities. Speaking during a recent session with citizens under the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development (KKDW), Zahid highlighted that escalating geopolitical tensions and rising global oil prices are placing significant strain on rural livelihoods. He noted that when oil prices surged to around USD115.55 per ton, subsidy costs rapidly increased from RM700 million to RM3.2 billion, creating a ripple effect across the nation. “This is not merely about figures. The consequences are deeply felt by over 8.1 million rural residents, including small-scale farmers, fishermen, gardeners, and Indigenous communities,” he said. Datuk Seri Dr. Ahmad  Zahid Hamidi emphasized that KKDW’s role is now more critical than ever, describing it as the “ultimate bastion” in ensuring rural communities remain resilient and continue to progress despite external economic shocks. He outlined a strategic response focused on addressing immediate cost pressures, reducing dependency on volatile global factors, and unlocking new growth opportunities by leveraging existing rural resources and strengths. “With a bold, structured approach and the collective commitment of all KKDW members, I am confident that our rural communities will not only endure but continue to thrive under any circumstances,” he added. -- Minutes MY / Igneseous Noris -- Photo: FB Zahid Hamidi

BUKIT KAYU HITAM -- Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) director-general, Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain, has issued a stern warning to those he described as ‘traitors’ who allow foreigners to slip into the country. He said the agency has yet to identify those involved in the matter, but has issued a strong warning to his officers not to commit such acts of betrayal. “Do not let me find out that this is happening due to acts of betrayal, as I have warned before… if it still happens, it seems I will have to come here more often to identify who the ‘traitors' are,” he told reporters, here, today. He said this when asked about public concerns over the entry of foreigners into the country through the Bukit Kayu Hitam border. Earlier, he attended the handover-of-duty ceremony for the AKPS Bukit Kayu Hitam commander, between SAC Mohd Nasaruddin M Nasir and SAC Fauzi Mohd Yusuf. Mohd Nasaruddin, from Kota Bharu, Kelantan, who served as AKPS Bukit Kayu Hitam commander from Jan 10, 2025 to March 31, 2026, will assume the post of deputy director-general (Operations) at the AKPS headquarters, while Fauzi, from Taiping, Perak, previously with Bukit Aman’s D3 division, reported for duty as the new AKPS Bukit Kayu Hitam commander, today. Meanwhile, Mohd Shuhaily said that the agency will tighten border controls to curb the smuggling of subsidised goods, following the ongoing conflict in West Asia. “We will work with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN), and carry out joint enforcement on this issue,” he said.
