Selangor

And of course, I have three great jokes that were sent in from all over the world.

And our first one comes from Janessa C. in Selangor, Malaysia.

All right, here is what she sent.

Where do cows go to dance? A meatball.

The government has committed another $4 million for solutions to address challenges in the built environment, such as construction productivity, ageing infrastructure and urban heat resilience.

In Malaysia, schools in Selangor will remain open today despite the haze.

The State Education Department is encouraging students to wear face masks as a precaution and has directed schools to monitor air quality updates.

It's also urging all parties to comply with safety advice from the authorities, adding that concerned parents can choose to keep their children at home.

However, challenges remain in turning these ambitions into reality, from attracting investors to strengthening infrastructure and coordinating development between states and federal governments.

So how realistic are SG4's economic ambitions and can these states attract enough investment to compete with established economic centres like Selangor and Johor? To get a better

understanding, then, of some of these plans, we'll be speaking with Mohamed Qadir Izaydin, Chief Executive Officer of SG4 Groups in Deir el-Bahad.

Good morning, Qadir.

Another example, like the previous program that we just had, SZ4 has come with an MOU to work with the FC Capital to come up with SZ4 Asset Mineral Fund based on the concept of Wakala Musharraqa.

as a starter for 200 million this fund gives state agencies or his partners who want to carry explorations or manufacturing mineral can utilize the fund like either it's cool or silver or silica white whatnot so this is one of our examples

Okay, so we know that Selangor and Johor remain the key investment destinations here in Malaysia, but how can SG4 compete with these states and convince more investors to set up operations in those four states?

You know, yeah, Selangor and Johor have strong investment ecosystem.

I think Penang also is going to be going down, but they may still retain stronghold, retain majority, but that's as good as it goes.

Even Selangor is facing a chance of, you know, just retaining bare minimum, right? So, I think their first action should have been to take care of that

room first.

Well, they still have time.

Okay, so let's get down to the nuts and bolts of the study and see what these teachers reported.

This study took place in Malaysia and the researchers targeted government-run primary schools in the state of Selangor.

Now, if you're not familiar with Malaysian geography, as quite frankly I wasn't before I started doing this research, Selangor is the most populous state in the whole of Malaysia and it surrounds the capital.

So, you know, it's not a small underrepresented rural pocket.

It's a major densely populated region.

Shansa, if we set aside the whole legal appeal, do you think Perikatan Nasional can survive politically as a coalition? Or are we seeing the beginning of its component parties slowly peeling apart?

Yeah, I mean, Bersatu and PAS definitely are now operating, I feel they're operating separately, right? As we've seen how Bersatu is working with PH in Selangor and PAS is, as we've seen, going, trying to work with UMNO for the next elections.

So in a way, we've already seen this splitting up of PAS.

but to the question of can perikatan as a coalition survive I think it can just without the satu right so it's a new kind of configuration of other parties within it so we still have gerakan MIPP we have pejuang before joining so These other parties can still work together.

It is the 31st of October, 2008, in the High Court at Shah Alam in Selangor.

Two years have passed since Altantuya Sharibu was killed.

The prosecution has finished presenting its case against the three men accused.

This marks Singapore's 15th straight day of unhealthy air, the longest stretch since the 2015 haze crisis.

Meanwhile, in Malaysia, schools in Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Malacca, Pahang and Penang will reopen today, despite unhealthy air quality caused by haze from Indonesian wildfires.

But outdoor activities will be restricted and students are encouraged to wear masks.

Schools will be required to continuously monitor air quality, with special attention to high-risk students.
