India basically said a political guy's homecoming is about democracy, not drama. Their foreign ministry spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, stated in New Delhi that they want free and fair elections in Bangladesh, framing the return of Bangladesh Nationalist Party acting chairman Tarique Rahman from London after seventeen years as part of that wider context. Rahman flew into Dhaka's Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport with his wife and daughter, coming back as the country sets a vote for next February under an interim government led by Muhammad Yunus.
The ministry reaffirmed its commitment to friendly ties with the Bangladeshi people, rooted in historical links like the 1971 Liberation War. They emphasized a consistent position favoring...
Dudes in a political party are getting ghosted by their own teammates. Five assemblymen from Bersatu in Perlis withdrew support for their state leader, Mohd Shukri Ramli, sparking a crisis, with PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang saying it's Bersatu's problem to handle those members, whose names are Abu Bakar Hamzah, Izizam Ibrahim, Megat Hashirat Hassan, Wan Zikri Afthar Ishak, and Marzita Mansor. Hadi made his comments in Marang, basically throwing the ball into Bersatu's court and saying political solidarity should matter, while also noting the party is made of people with different views.
He told reporters the decision on any punishment rests with Bersatu itself, suggesting they should listen to their conscience. This mess happened...
A former national leader just got absolutely nailed for stealing billions. Malaysia's previous Prime Minister, Najib Razak, was convicted on a massive pile of charges for looting a state fund called 1MDB, with a judge saying he used his official power to funnel roughly 2.2 billion Malaysian ringgit into his own pocket. Judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah ruled on this in the High Court, finding him guilty of four abuse of power and twenty-one more for money laundering, specifically through his personal AmIslamic Bank account, and completely trashed his main defense about getting the money as a gift from Saudi royalty.
The court shot down his entire story about a mysterious Arab donor. Judge Sequerah stated the narrative had no merit...
Major city roads are underwater after heavy rain hit the area. Kuala Terengganu police chief Azli Mohd Noor reported closures on Jalan Sultan Omar, Jalan Kamaruddin, and Jalan Sultan Ismail toward Bulatan Ladang, plus Jalan Kamaruddin toward Pengadang Akar. Officers are monitoring the flash floods and directing traffic, with advice for the public to avoid city travel.
Universiti Malaysia Terengganu also closed campus routes, including entrances near the Sports Complex and Student Complex, urging caution. The national weather department issued a multi-day alert for continuous rain in Terengganu and parts of Kelantan, with similar warnings for Pahang and Johor starting later in the week.
The court shot down a key defense claim as pure fantasy. Justice Datuk Collin Lawrence Sequerah, presiding over the 1MDB trial, stated it was unrealistic to think company officers would conspire with fugitive Jho Low against a sitting prime minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak. He noted Najib, as both PM and finance minister, stood at the apex of 1MDB decision-making. The judge reasoned that subordinates would only follow Low's instructions if they believed he acted with Najib's authority.
Sequerah cited photographic evidence of Najib and Low vacationing together, highlighting their known relationship. He addressed defense challenges to the prosecution's witness credibility, finding their testimonies consistent and coherent despite...
That concert proved his status is completely earned. Stonebwoy's BHIM Festival at the Accra Sports Stadium celebrated his decade in music, drawing a massive crowd that sang along to every word. The artist, Livingstone Este Satekla, delivered a meticulously crafted show with sharp choreography and a live band, moving seamlessly through reggae, dancehall, and Afrobeats. The event highlighted his identity as a cultural force representing African excellence globally.
The night featured strong support from fellow artists, underscoring his industry respect. Performers included Nigeria's Mr P, who later called Stonebwoy a global asset needing protection, along with Kwaw Kesse, Dhope Nation, Fameye, Praye Tiatia, and Fantom Moja. Their...
The ark guy showed up at a major concert and confused everyone. Ghanaian content creator Ebo Noah, who recently built an ark based on a prophetic vision about a December twenty fifth flood, made a surprise appearance at Sarkodie's Rapperholic event. His presence sparked divided reactions from the crowd, with some people cheering while others were just amused.
Videos and pictures from the concert spread quickly online, reigniting discussions about his failed prophecy and the whole ark project. Noah had gained notoriety weeks earlier when images of his constructed ark went viral alongside his claims of an impending deluge. The flood never happened, but his concert cameo kept him in the public conversation.
A concert crowd disrespected a legendary reggae performer. Ghanaian DJ Manni called out fans at a Stonebwoy show for their treatment of Jamaican artist Fantan Mojah. He stated that sections of the audience, likely BHIM fans, chanted at Mojah to leave the stage. Manni labeled this behavior unacceptable toward a musician of his stature, noting Mojah traveled to Ghana to support the event.
He described a telling moment where Mojah addressed the crowd about loving reggae music and was met with silence. Shortly after, Manni claimed, a female artist came on and performed a twerking routine to loud cheers. He called this a sad reflection and moral decay, arguing that the youth now favor obscenity over righteousness. Manni also mentioned a...
Major border upgrades are getting a huge cash injection. The government allocated three hundred million dollars to overhaul the Chirundu and Forbes border posts starting next year, aiming to solidify Zimbabwe as a regional transport hub. Projects at Nyamapanda and Kanyemba borders will also move forward, tied to their respective highway rehabilitations. Authorities plan financial closure for the Chirundu project by early 2026, with Forbes upgrades scheduled from 2026 through 2028.
This refurbishment will install new equipment to manage traffic, fight smuggling, and control import quality. It also includes building housing for Zimra and Immigration staff. Other ports like Plumtree and Machipanda are slated for future remodeling, with...
