PETALING JAYA – ‘Muar tak pakai baju Melayu hari ni? Model pakaian tak ada hari ni? Hari ni pakai baju apa?’
Demikianlah usikan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim terhadap Ahli Parlimen Muar, Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman dalam sidang Dewan Rakyat hari ini.
Usikan tersebut kemudiannya disambut dengan gelak tawa dan senyuman lebar Syed Saddiq yang berada di blok pembangkang.
Bukan itu sahaja, seiisi Dewan Rakyat juga kelihatan terhibur dan bergelak tawa sehingga ada yang menyebut nama penyanyi popular, Bella Astillah.
“Saya gurau gurau je,” tambah Anwar selepas itu.
Syed Saddiq sebelum itu bertanyakan tentang langkah proaktif bagi menangani banjir pada setiap kali musim monsun serta faktor luar jangka di kawasan yang sering dilanda banjir serta berpotensi dilanda banjir pada masa akan datang.

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim memaklumkan 126 projek tebatan banjir diluluskan membabitkan kos RM22.57 bilion.
Perdana Menteri berkata, ia membabitkan masing-masing 74 projek di peringkat pelaksanaan dan baki 35 lagi dalam fasa pra-pelaksanaan.
Beliau berkata, Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof bersama pegawai Ketua Setiausaha Negara akan menyelaraskan projek tebatan yang menjadi keutamaan itu.
"Fadillah yang juga Menteri Peralihan Tenaga dan Transformasi Air bertanggungjawab (menyelaras projek tebatan banjir) memang sudah mengambil kira (kejadian banjir) sejak tahun lalu.
"Kita sudah memutuskan dan meneruskan program asal, termasuk mempercepatkan proses yang bermakna pengambilan tanah oleh kerajaan negeri akan disegerakan.
"Saya dan Menteri Besar Kelantan, Datuk Mohd Nassuruddin Daud, semalam, singgung perkara ini kerana projek umpamanya yang harus disegerakan di Kelantan yang menghadapi masalah terbesar, kemudian tentunya Terengganu, Johor, Kedah dan negeri lain," katanya yang juga Menteri Kewangan pada sesi Pertanyaan Perdana Menteri di Dewan Rakyat hari ini.
Beliau menjawab soalan Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman (MUDA-Muar) mengenai langkah proaktif bagi menangani banjir setiap kali musim monsun dan faktor luar jangka di kawasan sering serta berpotensi dilanda bah.
Sementara itu, Perdana Menteri berkata, proses pengambilan tanah dan Tebatan Banjir Berkeutamaan Tinggi (TBBT) Johor membabitkan kos bernilai RM1.64 bilion, turut dipercepatkan.
Selain itu, katanya, beberapa projek berkenaan sudah dimulakan, masing-masing dua projek di Segamat serta Batu Pahat dan Ledang yang diawalkan 12 bulan daripada unjuran awal perancangannya.
"Kita juga beri kelonggaran kepada kerajaan negeri supaya wang Sistem Maklumat Rekod-rekod Jalan Raya Malaysia (MARRIS) diberikan, termasuk untuk menyediakan jambatan bailey. Kita setuju dan kelonggaran diberikan kepada kerajaan negeri sejak 2024.
"Kemudian apabila berlaku monsun, saya ucapkan terima kasih kepada kecekapan Agensi Pengurusan Bencana Negara (NADMA) dan memberikan lebih RM200 juta kepada kerajaan negeri untuk membantu (mangsa banjir), termasuk di Sabah dan Sarawak, baru-baru ini.
"Justeru, untuk negeri termasuk (yang terjejas akibat kesan) monsun Timur Laut (MTL), tambahan (peruntukan bernilai) RM22.5 juta dalam (bentuk) bantuan makanan dan sokongan logistik disediakan," kata Ahli Parlimen Tambun itu.
KOTA KINABALU: Sabah hopes to build up the use of renewable energy, promote reforestation and adopt climate-smart agricultural practices as part of efforts to combat climate change, says Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said.
“By investing in renewable energy, promoting reforestation, and adopting climate-smart agriculture, we can mitigate the worst effects of global warming and secure long-term food availability,” the Chief Minister said.
He said that such measures were necessary amid the challenges faced with worsening deforestation, eroding ecosystems critical for carbon sequestration and biodiversity.
In Sabah, rising temperatures, unpredictable monsoon seasons, and intensified storms are devastating crops, destroying livelihoods, and displacing families, he said.
Hajiji added that coastal areas were increasingly vulnerable to saltwater intrusion into freshwater sources that further jeopardise both agriculture and drinking water supplies.
“While these trends are alarming, they are not irreversible. Combating climate change is not only an environmental necessity but also a moral obligation to future generations," he said at the Kinabalu Convention 2025: Food Security, Climate Change and Investment here.
His speech was delivered by Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan.
Hajiji said that the Sabah government will collaborate with all stakeholders to combat climate change and its challenges.
He said the State Government was already taking steps in the agroforestry programmes, organic farming incentives, and community-based conservation projects aimed at building resilience among local populations.
“However, these efforts require sustained support not only from within Malaysia but also from international partners committed to fostering sustainable development,” he said.
He said addressing food insecurity and climate change requires more than goodwill since it demands substantial financial resources and strategic partnerships.
“Private sector should get involved and complement efforts by the government. We invite businesses, investors and all like-minded organisations to explore green investments to address these issues,” he said.
The Chief Minister said the convention offered an opportune platform to discuss, share knowledge and commit to concrete actions that included strengthening regional cooperation, promoting sustainable agriculture and empowering local communities.
Hajiji stressed that addressing food security issues begins with confronting its root cause, which is climate change.
AN average of 38 calls were made daily to Johor Fire and Rescue Department last year, says its director Siti Rohani Nadir.
She said the highest number of cases the department attended to involved humanitarian services, such as helping to capture wild animals, responding to natural disasters or handling chemical leaks.
“Throughout 2024, we attended to 13,717 cases, averaging 38 emergency calls per day.
“Of this number, more than half − 7,602 − were calls for humanitarian services, while 32.9% or 4,509 involved fire.
“Other calls included those related to rescue operations (1,298) and special tasks (293), while the remaining 15 were fake calls,” she said during the department’s monthly assembly at its headquarters.
She noted a downward trend in the number of calls the department received last year compared to 2023, when it handled 14,452 calls.
Siti Rohani said the department had also conducted 1,819 fire investigations, an increase from the 1,412 cases attended to in 2023.
“We will continue to take proactive measures in studying and reviewing technical aspects to ensure that every fire investigation, including arson cases, can be scientifically proven.
“We also hope to produce more fire forensic experts,” she said, adding that the cases investigated involved both structures and vehicles.
Siti Rohani said there was also an increase in the value of assets the department managed to rescue last year compared to 2023.
“Last year, we managed to rescue RM774mil worth of assets, an increase from RM767mil in 2023,” she said.
“However, the value of assets lost also rose from RM186mil in 2023 to RM188mil last year.”
Siti Rohani also noted that the department inspected 2,143 premises last year and issued 318 notices for the elimination of fire hazards.
“We remain committed to enforcing the law and ensuring that fire hazards are removed,” she said.
During the assembly, Siti Rohani handed out certificates of appreciation to department staff, members of the public and media practitioners.
