Berita penahanan ini telah mencetuskan spekulasi di kalangan netizen yang cuba meneka identiti pelawak tersebut.


Beberapa pengguna media sosial menduga bahawa pelawak yang ditahan mungkin adalah bekas anggota kumpulan Sepah, Mamat atau Mohd. Nor Murad, yang berusia 38 tahun dan mempunyai isteri yang bertugas sebagai seorang polis.

Zayn Rayyan case: Bukit Aman USJT take over probe into viral photographs'

]

SHAH ALAM: The investigation into viral images shared via the Telegram application, showing alleged injuries on the body of Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matiin, has been taken over by the Bukit Aman Classified Crime Investigation Unit (USJT).

Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said the case is being investigated under Section 8 of the Official Secrets Act 1972.

"A police report concerning evidence allegedly connected to the Zayn Rayyan case has been filed, and the investigation is now being handled by Bukit Aman USJT," he told a press conference at the Selangor Police Contingent Headquarters (IPK) today.

Last Sunday, the Petaling Jaya District Police Headquarters (IPD) received a report about the circulation of the photographs.

Hussein added that after the report was filed, his team conducted an investigation before the case was handed over to Bukit Aman.

When asked about the possibility of insider involvement in disseminating the photographs, he said the matter was under investigation.

Earlier, the investigation papers on the alleged murder were also shared widely.

On Dec 6 last year, the body of the child with autism was discovered in a stream near his home at Idaman Damansara Damai Apartment at 10 pm, a day after he was reported missing.

On June 13, Zayn Rayyan's parents, Ismanira Abdul Manaf and Zaim Ikhwan Zahari, pleaded not guilty in the Petaling Jaya Sessions Court to neglecting the boy in a manner likely to cause physical harm to him.

Chinese player Zhang Zhijie was competing at the Asian Junior Championship in Yogyakarta when he collapsed on court.

JAKARTA: Indonesia's badminton association (PBSI) said 17-year-old Chinese player Zhang Zhijie died as a result of cardiac arrest after he collapsed during a match on Sunday.

Zhang was competing at the Asian Junior Championship in Yogyakarta when he collapsed on court.

He received medical attention at the scene and was then rushed to hospital in Yogyakarta before being pronounced dead, state news agency Antara quoted PBSI spokesperson Broto Happy as saying on Monday.

"The conclusions of the examination and treatment of the victim from two hospitals show the same results, the victim experienced sudden cardiac arrest," Broto added.

Zhang had no pulse when he arrived at the first hospital, Broto said. He was treated for around three hours before being taken to the second hospital, which pronounced him dead at 11:20 p.m.

Zhang's family would come to Yogyakarta to take his body, Broto said.

China's badminton association has told state-backed China Newsweek that they were in communication with the Indonesian side about concerns over whether Zhang had received timely medical attention.

NIBONG TEBAL: The Human Resource Ministry (Kesuma) will be tabling a policy paper on establishing the Gig Workers Commission to the Cabinet this month.

Its minister, Steven Sim Chee Keong said a preliminary study report on the proposed commission had been tabled in a Cabinet meeting two months ago to obtain feedback from the Cabinet to improve the framework and will be presented again in one or two weeks.

"After the tabling (preliminary report) last month, we return to Kesuma to further enhance it, taking into consideration the inputs of Cabinet Ministers.

"This month, maybe in a week or two, we will present a policy paper on the improvements to provide protection to gig sector workers, especially in three main aspects, in terms of better wage compensation, security protection and complaint mechanism.

"This is only at the initial stage so it is subject to the approval of the cabinet and (if approved at the cabinet level later) it may involve amendments or drafts of existing laws," he told reporters at the Launching of Sponsorship for Northern Zone e-Hailing and p-Hailing is here, today.

Commenting further, Sim said gig workers are not included in the definition of workers in the act, therefore any complaints cannot be made to the Department of Labour (JTK) because they only take complaints from workers who are defined as workers according to the Employment Act 1955.

In that regard, he said his ministry will relook at what is the best definition to classify the group in the future.

"Based on the engagement sessions held, they do not want to be defined as conventional workers so, what is being done is that we will take the benchmarks of regional countries as well as the best practices around the world and detail the suitability for implementation in our country," he said.

Earlier, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim called for the setting up of the Gig Workers Commission to be expedited to protect the rights of gig workers who have now reached 1.12 million people, especially among young people.

Meanwhile, Steven said as of June 21, a total of 648,657 individuals had contributed under the Self-Employed Social Security Scheme (SKSPS).

Of that number, 5,787 are e-hailing and p-hailing drivers in the northern region who are active contributors under the initiative sponsored by Grab Malaysia to more than 180,000 drivers and riders.

Bertrand, Nur Shazrin the bearer of the Malaysian Flag at Paris Olympics 2024 on 26 July

02/07/2024


KUALA LUMPUR: National diver Bertrand Rhodict Lises and sailing athlete Nur Shazrin Mohamad Latif were selected as bearers of the Jalur Gemilang at the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games on 26 July.

The president of the Malaysian Olympic Council (MOM) Tan Sri Mohamad Norza Zakaria said the selection of the two athletes represented members of the national contingent consisting of athletes making their debut and experienced on the Olympic stage.

"After examining the shortlisted athletes and taking into account various factors including the competition schedule, the Executive Board has chosen Bertrand and Nur Shazrin to carry the Jalur Gemilang during the athletes' parade.


"Although Bertrand was selected based on his debut appearance, Nur Shazrin is an experienced athlete who will be making her third appearance. In celebrating the future, we embrace the present," he said in a statement here on Monday.

Bertrand, 19, an athlete born in Sarawak, was the first national athlete to qualify for Paris on merit in July last year.

He became the fourth Sarawakian to be honored as the bearer of the Jalur Gemilang on the Olympic stage, after athletics athlete, Kuda Ditta (Rome 1960), diver Bryan Nickson Lomas (Athens 2004) and national diving queen Datuk Pandelela Rinong in London in the 2012 edition.

Both excelled at the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games held last year after Bertrand won the bronze medal in the 10m synchronized platform while Nur Shazrin won gold in the dinghy event, which qualified her for Paris.

Johor-born Nur Shazrin, on the other hand, made her third appearance on the Olympic stage after Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 and was the first sailor to be honored to carry the flag during the opening ceremony.

The opening ceremony is scheduled to be held on the Seine River with boats carrying the athletes for each country's delegation.

The procession will reach the end of its six kilometer route in front of the Trocadero, where elements of Olympic protocol and the final show will take place.

As of today, the Malaysian contingent consists of 25 athletes from eight sports, namely archery, badminton, aquatics, cycling, shooting, golf, sailing and weightlifting.

KUCHING: Sarawak tidak berhasrat untuk merampas hak PETRONAS sebaliknya menganggap syarikat itu sebagai rakan kongsi dalam industri minyak dan gas (O&G) negara, kata Premier Sarawak, Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg.

Beliau berkata, segala usaha yang dilaksanakan Sarawak dalam industri O&G terutama menerusi Petroleum Sarawak Bhd (PETROS) adalah berlandaskan hak dan undang-undang sedia ada.

"Kami tidak mengambil hak orang. Kami menguruskan (perniagaan kami) berdasarkan hak kami. Kami bekerja secara harmoni.

"Kami bekerjasama berdasarkan undang-undang kami, dalam parameter hak undang-undang kami. Saya mahu jelaskan perkara ini kerana banyak di media sosial menuduh Sarawak merampas hak Petronas," katanya semasa berucap pada majlis penghargaan vendor industri perkhidmatan dan peralatan minyak dan gas (OGSE) di sini pada Isnin.

Sementara itu, Naib Presiden Kanan Pengurusan Petroleum Malaysia (MPM) PETRONAS, Datuk Bacho Pilong, berkata PETRONAS komited menjadi rakan strategik Sarawak untuk bersama-sama memacu pertumbuhan dan kelestarian sektor OGSE di Sarawak.

"Sejak 2020, kami telah menyaksikan trend meningkat bagi projek yang diberikan kepada vendor Sarawak, dan kami optimis untuk mencapai sasaran kami pada 2024.

"Sehingga Februari tahun ini, jumlah nilai projek yang diberikan kepada vendor Sarawak sebanyak RM37.41 bilion, dengan RM22.62 bilion diberikan dalam negeri itu sendiri," katanya.

PUTRAJAYA: Mahkamah Persekutuan di sini hari ini mengenakan bon berkelakuan baik selama setahun ke atas Ahli Majlis Tertinggi UMNO Datuk Lokman Noor Adam bagi kesalahan menghina mahkamah membabitkan isu kes 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).

Panel tiga hakim diketuai Tan Sri Nallini Pathmanathan, yang bersidang bersama-sama Datuk Rhodzariah Bujang dan Datuk Abu Bakar Jais, dalam keputusan sebulat suara turut membenarkan rayuan Lokman Noor untuk mengetepikan hukuman penjara sebulan selepas beliau memohon maaf secara terbuka.

"Setelah mempertimbang kekesalan yang dizahirkan oleh perayu serta aku janji yang diberikan untuk tidak mengulangi perlakuan sedemikian dalam permohonan maaf beliau, kami berpendapat bahawa hukuman penjara mungkin bukan yang paling wajar dijatuhi," kata Nallini.







Beliau berkata berdasarkan rekod rayuan dan penghakiman mahkamah terbabit, adalah terbukti bahawa kegagalan perayu untuk segera mengemukakan permohonan maaf serta menzahirkan kekesalan banyak menyumbang kepada hukuman yang dijatuhkan ke atasnya.

"Kami juga mengambil kira fakta bahawa permohonan maaf itu sendiri tidak membebaskan individu yang menghina mahkamah dalam setiap kes namun ia tetap memberi kesan kepada hukuman yang bakal dijatuhi.

"Justeru itu, kami memerintahkan agar hukuman penjara sebulan diketepikan dan diganti dengan bon berkelakuan baik selama setahun yang bermaksud jika perayu mengulangi perbuatan menghina mahkamah atau melanggar syarat permohonan maafnya maka beliau akan dipanggil semula ke mahkamah ini dan dihukum kerana melanggar bon tersebut," katanya.

Ketika membacakan penghakiman panel itu, Nallini berkata di bawah undang-undang membabitkan perbuatan menghina mahkamah, ugutan terhadap seseorang saksi sebelum atau selepas beliau memberi keterangan boleh menjejaskan pentadbiran keadilan.

"Ini kerana keadilan tidak boleh dilaksana jika saksi enggan tampil untuk memberi keterangan. Jika mereka takut untuk berbuat demikian maka roda keadilan mahkamah dan sistem keadilan akan terjejas.

Memandangkan rayuan terhadap sabitan tidak diteruskan maka sabitan adalah kekal iaitu perlakuan yang dipertikai terjumlah kepada penghinaan jenayah," katanya.

Panel itu juga berkata mahkamah terbabit telah mengenakan hukuman penjara sebulan kerana perayu tidak menunjukkan sebarang kekesalan berhubung perlakuannya dan tidak memohon maaf.

"Bagaimanapun, hari ini perayu telah mengemukakan permohonan maaf sepenuhnya dan tidak berbelah bahagi yang membuktikan kekesalahn dan keinsafan beliau. Beliau juga telah berjanji untuk tidak mengulangi perlakuan sedemikian," katanya.

Terdahulu, Lokman Noor, 51, memohon maaf atas tindakannya membuat laporan polis yang mengandungi komen beliau berkaitan kredibiliti saksi utama dalam kes bekas Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak membabitkan dana 1MDB iaitu Datuk Amhari Efendi Nazaruddin dan mengeluarkan kenyataan media ketika perbicaraan berlangsung.

Lokman Noor berkata beliau telah menyedari bahawa tindakan dan komennya adalah tindakan yang bukan sahaja terjumlah kepada satu serangan terhadap integriti Jabatan Peguam Negara tetapi satu tindakan mengugut saksi dan sekali gus mengganggu proses pentadbiran keadilan.

"Saya benar-benar menyesal dan telah insaf. Saya tiada niat untuk menghina mahkamah. Oleh yang demikian, saya memohon maaf secara suci hati tanpa sebarang syarat kepada pihak Yang Amat Arif, Yang Arif-Yang Arif, Jabatan Peguam Negara, pihak pendakwaan yang mengendalikan kes, mahkamah dan semua pihak terlibat dan saya berjanji bahawa perkara ini tidak akan berulang.

"Saya dengan sesungguhnya berjanji apabila saya masuk ke mahkamah pada bila-bila masa, saya akan menurut peraturan yang ditetapkan. Saya tidak akan mengambil apa-apa tindakan yang salah di sisi undang-undang dan tidak akan keluarkan sebarang kenyataan yang salah sepanjang kes perbicaraan berjalan. Saya dengan rendah diri memohon supaya mahkamah ini menerima permohonan maaf saya," katanya ketika membacakan permohonan maaf beliau di hadapan panel itu.

Lokman Noor diwakili peguam Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah dan Alaistair Brandah Norman manakala Timbalan Pendakwa Raya Datuk Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar bertindak bagi pihak pendakwaan.

Pada 15 Julai 2021, Hakim Datuk Collin Lawrence Sequerah menjatuhi hukuman penjara sebulan ke atas Lokman Noor selepas beliau didapati bersalah menghina mahkamah dengan mengugut Amhari Efendi yang juga bekas pegawai khas Najib.

Pada 26 Okt 2022, Mahkamah Rayuan mengekalkan hukuman penjara sebulan terhadap Lokman Noor selepas menolak rayuan beliau bagi mengetepikan sabitan serta hukuman itu dan rayuan balas pendakwaan untuk memanjangkan tempoh hukuman penjara yang dikenakan oleh Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur pada 2021.

KUALA LUMPUR: Kerajaan sedang memberi keutamaan untuk merancakkan semula pertumbuhan ekonomi negara bagi mengembangkan saiz dan mengembalikannya ke landasan yang sebenar, kata Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Ringkasan AI

Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim memfokuskan untuk memacu semula pertumbuhan ekonomi negara dan mencapai status negara berpendapatan tinggi melalui reformasi struktur ekonomi, dengan sasaran pertumbuhan 5.0 hingga 6.0 peratus setahun dalam 10 tahun akan datang.

Pelaksanaan inisiatif dalam Kajian Separuh Penggal Rancangan Malaysia Kedua Belas (KSP RMKe-12), Pelan Hala Tuju Peralihan Tenaga Nasional (NETR), Pelan Induk Perindustrian Baharu 2030 (NIMP 2030), dan Belanjawan 2024 bertujuan memaksimumkan potensi pertumbuhan ekonomi negara.

Kerajaan akan menarik pelaburan berkualiti dalam industri berteknologi tinggi, menggalakkan pelaburan dalam teknologi termaju dan hijau, serta meningkatkan kerjasama antara institusi pendidikan tinggi, institut penyelidikan, dan sektor swasta untuk mempercepat penyelidikan dan inovasi.




Beliau berkata reformasi struktur ekonomi sedang giat dilaksanakan bagi mempercepat peralihan ke arah menjadi sebuah negara berpendapatan tinggi selaras dengan matlamat Ekonomi MADANI untuk menjadi peneraju ekonomi Asia.







"Sasaran ini hanya akan dapat dicapai sekiranya ekonomi berkembang pada kadar 5.0 hingga 6.0 peratus setahun dalam tempoh 10 tahun akan datang," kata Anwar dalam jawapan bertulis yang disiarkan menerusi laman sesawang Parlimen, hari ini.

Beliau berkata demikian sebagai menjawab soalan Mohd Syahir Che Sulaiman (PN-Bachok) yang meminta Perdana Menteri menyatakan perancangan terperinci kerajaan dalam meletakkan Malaysia sebagai antara 30 ekonomi terbesar dunia yang mana merupakan salah satu daripada tujuh matlamat yang ingin dicapai dalam Naratif Ekonomi Madani.

Menurut Anwar, usaha untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan ekonomi akan disokong oleh pelaksanaan inisiatif yang digariskan dalam Kajian Separuh Penggal Rancangan Malaysia Kedua Belas (KSP RMKe-12), Pelan Hala Tuju Peralihan Tenaga Nasional (NETR), Pelan Induk Perindustrian Baharu 2030 (NIMP 2030) dan Belanjawan 2024 bagi memaksimumkan potensi pertumbuhan ekonomi negara.

Selain itu, beliau berkata, tumpuan juga diberi untuk menarik lebih banyak pelaburan berkualiti dan berasaskan teknologi termaju dalam industri pertumbuhan tinggi dan bernilai tinggi (HGHV) bagi menggalakkan pembangunan produk dan perkhidmatan yang kompleks serta mewujudkan pekerjaan berkemahiran dan berpendapatan tinggi.

"Firma akan digalakkan untuk meningkatkan pelaburan dalam perolehan mesin dan peralatan bagi mengembangkan kapasiti dan produktiviti serta melabur dalam teknologi termaju seperti blockchain, kecerdasan buatan(AI) dan Analitis Data Raya.

"Firma juga akan digalakkan untuk mempergiat pelaburan hijau dalam operasi dan premis perniagaan, termasuk untuk pembangunan dan penggunaan sumber tenaga boleh baharu (TBB)," kata beliau.

Anwar berkata kerajaan juga akan memudah cara bagi meningkatkan penglibatan institusi pendidikan tinggi, institut penyelidikan dan sektor swasta untuk mempercepat aktiviti penyelidikan, pembangunan, pengkomersialan dan inovasi.

PUTRAJAYA: Any polemics related to the BlackRock issue linked to the Israeli regime could affect Malaysia's interests as a developing country, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Speaking at the July monthly assembly of the Prime Minister's Department here today, Anwar reminded everyone not to be 'excessive' in discussing the polemic of the BlackRock issue.

Anwar, who is also Finance Minister, explained that the presence of the giant investment company in Malaysia all this while had not hindered Malaysia's stance in voicing out against the Israeli regime's atrocities against the people of Gaza.

"History shows that compared to other countries, we (Malaysia) are among the clearest and firmest (in voicing out against Israel); don't demand more than that. We are a developing country; look at our level of capability. Don't let a strong desire to show off undermine the country's interests. That is our principle in general.

"... and the cruelty Israel committed against Palestine is very clear; no one is disputing it. (But) if there is a company like Microsoft or Google showing sympathy towards Israel, we will oppose it. (However) do you think we should close all paths and cooperation with them?" he said.

It was reported that data reviews show BlackRock already has interests and shareholdings worth RM24.7 billion in companies listed on Bursa Malaysia and RM7.9 billion in Malaysian government and corporate bonds.

According to publicly available data, as of May 2024, the global investment firm already holds equity investments in 100 listed companies in Malaysia across all industrial sectors, including three banking institutions in the country.

Anwar explained that in 2018, the then Prime Minister (Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad) had in London emphasised the need for the firm to enter Malaysia, while in 2021, the then Prime Minister (Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin) approved a proposal by the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) to entrust BlackRock with managing a special EPF fund amounting to RM600 million.

Regarding the collaboration between Khazanah Nasional Berhad (Khazanah) and EPF with Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) concerning interests in Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB), Anwar said the collaboration between EPF and GIP has been ongoing since 2012.

"That is why Khazanah and EPF are negotiating with GIP; our airports have their strengths and advantages, but compared to other major airports, there are many weaknesses, especially in terms of engineering, technical expertise and management.

"There are areas that need improvement because we are somewhat behind, in planning and various other aspects. Khazanah and EPF's decision was then communicated to me and I said to proceed," he said.

Previously, Anwar said that the sale of a stake in MAHB to GIP had gone through stringent conditions and one of the merits of its selection was the company's agreement to retain the appointment of Malaysians as the chairman and chief executive officer of MAHB and the collective ownership of the majority shares by the state.

Anwar said that besides GIP, other parties did not agree with the conditions set by Khazanah and EPF.

GIP is a leading infrastructure investor managing assets worth US$112 billion on behalf of its investors, which include approximately 500 investment institutions worldwide.

In January it was announced that GIP is being acquired by BlackRock, with the transaction expected to complete in the third quarter of 2024. BlackRock has not in any way been involved in the transaction relating to MAHB.

KUALA LUMPUR: Berbaki 19 hari lagi, Malaysia bakal melakar detik bersejarah dalam sistem Raja Berperlembagaan dan semua mata akan tertumpu pada istiadat pertabalan Sultan Ibrahim sebagai Yang di-Pertuan Agong ke-17.

Bakal berlangsung di Balairung Seri, Istana Negara pada 20 Julai ini, segala persiapan diatur rapi dan teliti untuk memastikan istiadat yang akan menonjolkan keunikan sistem Raja Berperlembagaan di Malaysia berlangsung sempurna kerana ia bukan sahaja menjadi tumpuan rakyat tempatan, malahan juga masyarakat luar negara.

Berkongsi mengenai persiapan, Datuk Paduka Maharaja Lela Datuk Azuan Effendy Zairakithnaini berkata kerja-kerja persiapan bermula sejak enam bulan lepas dan ketika ini, semuanya berada pada peringkat akhir atau kira-kira 93 peratus dengan fokus sekarang ialah memastikan lokasi istiadat pertabalan, selain sekitar Istana Negara dalam keadaan baik.

"Negara kita dibina dengan peradaban begitu kukuh dan sejarah yang gemilang menerusi sistem Raja Berperlembagaan dan sejak negara kita merdeka sehingga kini, kita tidak putus merayakan istiadat yang begitu penting iaitu pertabalan Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

"Tentunya untuk satu istiadat yang begitu gilang-gemilang dan bersejarah ini, persiapannya memang mengambil masa yang lama, kita telah mulakan dari awal iaitu sebaik Sultan Ibrahim mengangkat sumpah jawatan pada 31 Januari lepas," katanya kepada Bernama di sini baru-baru ini.

Azuan Effendy berkata menerusi istiadat pertabalan Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Malaysia dapat mempertontonkan kepada dunia identiti Kesultanan Melayu, selain menonjolkan keunikan dimiliki kerana merupakan satu-satunya negara yang mengamalkan sistem Raja Berperlembagaan secara penggiliran.

Beliau berkata kira-kira 2,000 orang terlibat dalam memastikan kelancaran istiadat pertabalan bukan hanya membabitkan kakitangan Istana Negara, tetapi juga pelbagai jabatan serta agensi lain antaranya Polis Diraja Malaysia, Angkatan Tentera Malaysia, Jabatan Kerja Raya dan banyak lagi.

Selain itu, beliau yang telah terlibat dengan istiadat pertabalan Yang di-Pertuan Agong sebanyak lima kali berkata Menteri Komunikasi Fahmi Fadzil dipertanggungjawabkan sebagai Menteri Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Khas Acara-acara Sempena Istiadat Pertabalan Agong.

Azuan Effendy berkata beliau bersama Fahmi, Penyimpan Mohor Besar Raja-Raja Tan Sri Syed Danial Syed Ahmad, Timbalan Ketua Setiausaha Kanan Jabatan Perdana Menteri Datuk Awang Alik Jeman merangkap Pengerusi Majlis Rasmi Kerajaan dan Ketua Pegawai Istiadat Kerajaan Datuk Rozainor Ramli juga bertanggungjawab untuk menghadap Raja, Sultan serta semua Tuan Yang Terutama (TYT) bagi mempersembahkan warkah persilaan.

"Warkah persilaan ini masih dikekalkan sejak sekian lama, ia menggunakan tulisan jawi yang ditulis tangan, diletakkan di dalam kapsul khas untuk dipersembahkan kepada Raja-Raja Melayu dan TYT," katanya.

Berkongsi lanjut, Azuan Effendy yang merupakan Datuk Paduka Maharaja Lela termuda pernah dilantik ke jawatan penting di Istana Negara berkata cabaran utama dalam memperincikan kelancaran istiadat pertabalan ialah ketepatan masa.
"Keberangkatan tiba setiap Raja Melayu adalah dalam selang masa dua minit diikuti istiadat pecah bendera. Setiap satu perlu dilaksanakan dalam masa hanya dua minit, maka kita kena pastikan semuanya menepati masa supaya perancangan dapat direalisasikan dengan tepat dan sempurna," katanya.

Istiadat pecah bendera ialah sebahagian protokol istana yang bendera peribadi Raja-Raja Melayu dipecahkan dan dikibarkan sebagai menandakan keberangkatan tiba baginda.

Mengenai bilangan tetamu, Azuan Effendy berkata setakat ini, Sultan Brunei Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah dan Raja Bahrain Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa telah mengesahkan keberangkatan, selain 700 tetamu lain termasuk wakil kedutaan serta wakil-wakil kementerian dan jabatan.

Beliau berkata pada istiadat pertabalan kali ini, dif-dif kehormat lelaki dari Johor akan mengenakan baju Melayu Teluk Belanga dengan songkok tanpa sebarang bintang atau pingat kerana ia merupakan kaedah pemakaian sebenar.

Mengenai busana Sultan Ibrahim, Azuan Effendy berkata Seri Paduka Baginda akan memakai muskat yang merupakan persalinan kebesaran Yang di-Pertuan Agong lengkap dengan tengkolok, pending serta keris, manakala Raja Permaisuri Agong Raja Zarith Sofiah telah memperincikan persalinan Seri Paduka Baginda yang bakal dihasilkan seorang pereka terkemuka tempatan.

Azuan Effendy berkata acara-acara bersempena dengan istiadat pertabalan bermula pada 18 Julai ini dengan majlis bacaan Yasin dan doa selamat di Masjid Negara, manakala keesokannya ialah bacaan Khutbah Jumaat khas yang memberikan penjelasan serta peringatan kepada umat Islam mengenai kepentingan Institusi Raja Berperlembagaan.

"Masjid-masjid di Wilayah Persekutuan dan negeri-negeri yang tiada Raja atau Sultan akan menggunakan teks berkenaan, manakala negeri-negeri lain tertakluk pada perkenan Raja atau Sultan masing-masing," katanya sambil menambah pada malam istiadat pertabalan, akan turut diadakan Majlis Santapan Diraja di Istana Negara.

Beliau berkata Raja Zarith Sofiah juga telah berkenan untuk berangkat ke Hospital Orang Asli Gombak pada 23 Julai, manakala pada 25 Julai akan diadakan Pameran Raja Kita di Muzium Negara yang memaparkan barangan peribadi Seri Paduka Baginda berdua antaranya kad pengenalan dan koleksi pen.

Acara Istiadat Pertabalan katanya, akan ditutup dengan Jamuan Teh Diraja pada 27 Julai.

Superb All You Can Eat Authentic Brazilian Churrascaria steak BUFFET in KL @ Samba Brazilian Steakhouse, Avenue K

On a Sunday we were in the mood for a good steak, so we started searching on google for a restaurant that served good steaks in the KLCC area, two restaurants came up with good reviews.

We decided to choose the one that boasted "they had the BEST Authentic Brazilian Churrascaria steak BUFFET in KL & Klang valley, enjoy and eat all you can till you drop". 

So we headed to the Samba Brazilian Steakhouse located on the 3rd Floor of Avenue K Shopping Mall. It is a pork free restaurant, as they do serve liquor and wines.

The restaurant was spacious with a cosy ambiance.

 

Here you had a choice, where you could "Indulge" in 15 Types of BBQ Meat and have their buffet or simply order from their Ala Carte Menu

We decided to go for the buffet and we were pleasantly surprised, this is simply a Must Try Restaurant! 

(After being around in the KLCC area for so long, I cannot believe it took me almost a decade to come this restaurant).

How the dinner buffet works: 

you can have unlimited servings of BBQ Meat, all you just have do is to ensure the coin that they give you is flipped on to the white side, this is an indicator to the chefs that you are ready to be served, so they can come you and offer you their meats. 

When you are done feasting just simply flip the coin to the red side. 

At the same time you can also enjoy the buffet spread.

Their open kitchen concept allows diner's to see how the selection of prime meats are each being cooked to perfection over an open flame by the skilled Samba churrasco chefs.

 

Throughout the night we were presented with a tantalizing array of BBQ meats, featuring an impressive selection of 15 types of BBQ meat and steaks. 

Among them included their mouthwatering Prime Beef Ribs, Sirloin Steak, Beef With Parmesan Cheese, Beef Rump Steak and Lamb Leg. 

Almost every cut brought out on a long skewer, was served juicy, tender, smoky and well marinated.

 

As the chefs came by,  you could select the cuts you want and then watch as they slices off pieces of meat. 

Diner's are given tongs to hold the piece of meat as the chef's slices it to get it onto your plate. 

You could have as many servings as you like!

 

Their foot long Sausage was juicy & flavorful while their Smoked Duck was surprisingly juicy, tender and tasty. Their grilled Quail is a must try, as it was well marinated and quite tasty too.

In addition to the meats they also serve a BBQ Cinnamon Glazed Pineapple on skewers. I found having it after every meat dish was a great way to clean your palates 

Their Grilled Prawns was my favourite, each prawn was expertly seasoned and wrapped in beef bacon.

That's not all, If you are are going for the buffet they have an excellent spread of over 50 dishes in addition to the BBQ Meats .

Their Italian Section was my favourite, the Spaghetti Aglio Olio and Penne Carbonara was made to perfection. Their beef Lasagna was simply superb and full of flavor. Their Grilled Chicken in white creme sauce was very tasty too.

An hour into our Brazillian Churrasco journey we were so full but could not stop eating.

They had a Seafood Section with Oyster, Prawns, Mussels, Lala and Mini Lobsters,

For Japanese food lovers, they had a Sushi and Sashimi Section with enough variety of sushi to keep you happy.

Other items in the buffet included Cous-Cous, Vegetable dishes, Potato wedges, and for those who don't want to feel guilty they had some Salads too.

For those who prefer a quick meal instead of having the buffet, they have an extensive Ala Carte Menu. 

They have a variety of liquor and wines on the menu, Wine lovers will love the selection of wines they have.

For those who don't drink alcohol they have a variety of Soft Drinks, Mocktails, Juices, Coffee and Tea to keep you happy.

The culinary journey at Samba was made even better by their Manager Kelvin who offered us some off the menu dessert items, on the house! 

His smartly dressed team were very responsive and provided good service throughout the evening.

They even have a two piece female band performing there.

Overall we give Samba a Five Star rating and highly recommend that you visit this restaurant.

They have a VIP room for those who want privacy or celebrating a special occasion.

The Dinner Buffet was priced at RM119++ per person, here are some of the pricing, but it's highly recommended that you call and check the prices before making your booking.

Location: 

L3-3 & L3-4a, level 3, Avenue K, 156 Jalan Ampang, 50450 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
