KUALA LUMPUR (29 Julai): Malaysia bersedia membantu Indonesia dalam menangani inventori minyak sawitnya yang tinggi, kata Menteri Perusahaan Perladangan dan Komoditi Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin.
Beliau berkata satu jawatankuasa kerja telah ditubuhkan untuk membantu Indonesia – pengeluar minyak sawit terbesar dunia – dalam mengurangkan stoknya.
“Sebagai ahli Majlis Negara Pengeluar Minyak Sawit (CPOPC), kita perlu membantu antara satu sama lain,” katanya pada majlis penutupan Ekspo dan Sidang Kemuncak Agricommodity Antarabangsa Malaysia (MIACES) 2022 pada malam Khamis (28 Julai)
Menurut laporan berita, eksport minyak sawit Indonesia tidak kembali ke paras biasa walaupun larangan eksportnya ditarik balik pada 23 Mei, kerana syarikat dikehendaki menunjukkan bukti jualan domestik mereka sebelum mereka boleh mendapatkan permit eksport mereka, satu langkah yang menyebabkan untuk meningkatkan stok dan, seterusnya, kejatuhan harga.
Harga minyak sawit mula merosot dengan cepat selepas Indonesia menarik balik larangan selama tiga minggu, diikuti negara mengenepikan levi eksport bagi semua produk minyak sawit dari 15 Julai hingga 31 Ogos.

Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim…In Serious Health Condition In Hospital Bed…22-07-2022
In early 2014, PKR’s national leader, Anwar Ibrahim, then a federal parliamentarian, sought to contest the Selangor State Assembly seat of Kajang in a by-election .The so-called “Kajang Move” would have allowed Anwar Ibrahim to oust Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim as Menteri Besar with PKR’s support.
Anwar Ibrahim’s conviction on a charge of sodomy caused Anwar’s Ibrahim wife, Wan Azizah Wan Ismail , to take over Anwar Ibrahim’s presidency of PKR and the nomination as PKR candidate in the by-election instead, which she won.
In July, the party nominated Wan Azizah as its preferred Menteri Besar.The following month, Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim was expelled from the party after he refused to comply with its direction for him to resign as the state’s premier and make way for Wan Azizah.
Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim sacked the PKR and DAP members of Selangor’s Cabinet-like Executive Council, and continued to administer the state as an independent assemblyman with the remaining four councillors from PAS.
Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim ultimately resigned on 26 August 2014, as it being clear that he could no longer command the confidence of the State Assembly. He remained in office while Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah deliberated on whom to appoint as his replacement, before settling on PKR’s deputy president Azmin Ali, who was sworn in on 23 September 2014.
After Azmin Ali assumed office, the Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah praised Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim for leading the state “successfully and perfectly” and criticised the manner in which he had been ousted from the state’s premiership by his own party…

Sejarah 1892 Pejuang-Pejuang Melayu Seperti Tok Gajah, Mat Kilau dan Datuk Bahaman
TRAGEDI BERDARAH KAMPUNG BUDU TAHUN 1892…
Peristiwa yang berlaku ketika bulan Mei pada tahun 1892 itu menyaksikan kira-kira 300 penduduk Kampung Budu terkorban setelah kampung mereka dibakar oleh tentera British yang ketika itu ditentang oleh pejuang-pejuang Melayu seperti Tok Gajah, Mat Kilau, Datuk Bahaman dan pengikut mereka.
Pasukan Tok Gajah pada waktu itu bersiap-siaga membina kubu pertahanan di sekeliling kampung bagi menyekat kemaraan tentera upahan British. Tok Gajah dan Mat Kilau sememangnya telah menjangkakan British akan menyerang Kampung Budu. Ini kerana Residen Inggeris ketika itu telah menggerakkan kira-kira 400 polis tambahan dari Raub yang telah meningkatkan ketumbukan pasukan tentera British di Kuala Lipis menjadi hampir 2,000 orang yang terdiri daripada tentera upahan berketurunan Sikh dan Gurka.
Pembinaan lapisan kubu dan parit dikaji dengan begitu teliti oleh pasukan Tok Gajah dengan mengambil kira kedudukan topografi seperti bukit dan paya sebagai elemen untuk pembinaan kawasan pertahanan tersebut sementara sumber air dari sungai-sungai berdekatan juga turut dipastikan berada di dalam kawasan selamat.
Kekuatan di pihak British pula telah berada di Kuala Lipis dan Raub ketika itu sebagai persediaan untuk menyerang sambil satu pasukan tentera diketuai oleh Residen British, Sir Hugh Clifford sendiri. British juga ketika itu telah menyediakan satu pasukan sokongan berserta tali barut di pihak orang Melayu yang akan menyerang Kampung Budu dari arah utara iaitu dari Kampung Temau sementara dua pasukan lain akan menyerang dari laluan darat melalui muara Sungai Teka dan satu pihak akan menyerang dari sebelan timur menerusi Penjom/Tanjung Besar.
Tentera upahan British kemudian mula mendarat di kawasan paya kering di sebuah tanah lapang berhampiran Lubuk Besar pada awal bulan Ramadan dan masa itu sememangnya dirancang kerana mempercayai pahlawan Melayu yang menentang mereka akan lemah.
Percubaan mereka selama dua minggu untuk melemahkan dan menawan pasukan penentang Tok Gajah gagal ditambah dengan keadaan tentera British yang sering diserang hendap dengan jerangkap samar.
Sementara laluan perahu di sungai juga seringkali diterbalikkan oleh rintangan rotan manau yang dijadikan jerangkap sehingga menyeksa tentera-tentera tersebut. Kerana keadaan itu, maka tentera-tentera upahan British ini menjadi tertekan kerana bukan sahaja mereka gagal menangkap Tok Gajah tetapi tidak dapat berehat secukupnya kerana serang hendap yang dilakukan pengikut Tok Gajah.
tentera upahan tersebut bertindak membakar seluruh Kampung Budu. Peristiwa ini sesuatu yang diluar jangkaan dan amat menyedihkan Tok Gajah serta pengikut.
Disebabkan tentera British yang ramai, akhirnya pasukan Tok Gajah membuat keputusan berundur dan melarikan diri ke Kampung Ulu Cheka setelah sebahagian mayat penduduk kampung selesai dikebumikan.
Daripada peristiwa berdarah di Kampung Budu itu, telah berlaku pula pertempuran demi pertempuran yang membawa kepada penguasaan Inggeris di Hulu Pahang sehingga akhirnya Pahang jatuh ke tangan penjajah.
Tok Gajah, Datuk Bahaman, Mat Kilau dan sebahagian besar pengikutnya pula terpaksa berpindah-randah kerana diburu oleh British. Walaupun ada kalanya mereka mendapat sokongan dari pihak tertentu umpamanya di Kelantan dan Terengganu namun ia tidak mampu menghalang kehendak British untuk menjajah Pahang.
Russia, previously classed as a strategic partner of Nato, is now identified as the 30-nation bloc’s main threatNato also unveiled a new strategic concept at the Madrid summit that cited China as a challenge for the first time
Published: 10:01pm, 29 Jun, 2022
Nato invited Sweden and Finland on Wednesday to join the military alliance in one of the biggest shifts in European security in decades after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine pushed Helsinki and Stockholm to drop their traditional position of neutrality.
Nato’s 30 allies took the decision at their summit in Madrid and also agreed to formally treat Russia as the “most significant and direct threat to the allies’ security”, according to a summit statement.
“Today, we have decided to invite Finland and Sweden to become members of Nato,” Nato leaders said in their declaration, after Türkiye lifted a veto on Finland and Sweden joining.
Ratification in allied parliaments is likely to take up to a year, but once it is done, Finland and Sweden will be covered by Nato’s Article 5 collective defence clause, putting them under the United States’ protective nuclear umbrella.
“We will make sure we are able to protect all allies, including Finland and Sweden,” Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said.
