Agensi berita rasmi Malaysia Bernama melaporkan Masjid al-Aqsa di Baitulmuqaddis Timur yang diduduki Israel dibuka semula kepada umat Islam pada hari ini, Khamis 9 April 2026, selepas penutupan selama 40 hari yang dikenakan oleh Israel berikutan tindakan ketenteraan bersama Amerika Syarikat (AS)-Israel terhadap Iran. Memetil laporan Anadolu Ajansi ( AA ), Bernama berkata masjid yang terletak di Kota Lama Baitulmuqaddis itu dibuka semula ketika waktu subuh, sekali gus membolehkan ratusan umat Islam Palestin memasuki kompleks Al-Haram al-Sharif. Ketika pintu pagar dibuka seiring laungan azan subuh, sejumlah besar jemaah bergegas memasuki kawasan berkenaan, dengan ramai dilihat mengalirkan air mata serta melakukan sujud syukur di halaman masjid.

Media melaporkan harga runcit diesel di Semenanjung Malaysia terus melonjak meskipun harga minyak global turun semalam, mencecah rekod tertinggi baru iaitu RM6.72 seliter untuk tempoh 9 April hingga 15 April 2026. Kementerian Kewangan dalam satu kenyataan berkata kenaikan 70 sen itu adalah kerana harga pam di negara ini ditentukan berdasarkan harga purata petrol dan diesel dari minggu sebelumnya, bukannya harga harian semasa. "Sehubungan itu, harga semasa masih mencerminkan kos bekalan yang tinggi sepanjang tempoh lima minggu lalu, ketika pasaran global berada pada paras yang lebih tinggi, yang telah mencecah sekitar AS$150 setong bagi produk petrol dan AS$250 setong bagi produk diesel, dan ini terus mempengaruhi harga runcit di dalam negara,” kata kementerian itu seperti dipetik Malaysiakini . Kementerian Kewangan juga mengumumkan bahawa di bawah Mekanisme Penetapan Harga Automatik, harga runcit petrol RON97 dinaikkan sebanyak 40 sen kepada RM5.35 seliter, manakala harga runcit p...

Malaysian MP hits back at Singaporean ex-MP over veiled Hormuz jab

Encik Syahredzan Johan, responding to Encik Calvin Cheng’s remarks, said he respected Singapore’s position in the Middle East conflict, but each country has different energy needs, and use different ways to overcome the crisis. Facebook Picture Referring to two separate social media postings by two politicians of two neighbouring countries, Malaysian popular news portal FMT said DAP’s Bangi, Selangor MP Encik Syahredzan Johan has hit out at a former Singaporean nominated MP over remarks perceived as a veiled jab at Malaysia for negotiating with Iran for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Encik Calvin Cheng had praised Singaporean foreign affairs minister Encik Vivian Balakrishnan’s stance that negotiating for passage through the strait could undermine international law. “Singapore doesn’t negotiate with terrorists. On the other hand, there are countries boasting they have negotiated passage but in the same breath say they are running out of oil next month,” Cheng wrote in a Fa...

Your Useless Brothers

When old John finally passed away, his kids started going through his dresser drawers. They were looking for the "real" stuff—savings accounts, the deed to the house, a will... anything of value. But they found nothing. Just a frayed leather wallet, a cheap drugstore watch, and a stack of yellowed polaroids from when they were kids. "Forty years at the plant and he didn't even leave us a house to sell," the oldest son muttered, his voice sharp with bitterness. "Spent his whole life as a laborer and never bothered to secure our future," the second son added, shaking his head. Only the youngest, Maria, stayed quiet. Because she remembered it differently. She remembered him getting up at 5:00 AM every single morning—even when he had a fever, even when his back was screaming—just to make sure they got to school on time. She remembered him buying her brand-new sneakers for gym class while he wore the same soles for years, literally duct-taping them together...
