🚨 JUST IN : FIFA has ordered a formal investigation into FAM’s internal operations for using forged birth certificates to claim Malaysian ancestry for seven naturalised players.
It said both FAM and the players failed to verify the false lineage claims, noting that the players didn’t even read the naturalisation papers they signed.
FIFA ruled that the falsifications gave Malaysia an undue sporting gain, including in the 4–0 win over Vietnam, and rejected claims that the issue was minor or procedural.
It also said FAM was clearly negligent for relying on contradictory, unverified ancestry records and failing to respond to repeated requests for clarification.
The probe will examine FAM’s compliance systems and identify those responsible, including FAM gen-sec Noor Azman and two licensed FIFA agents, Nicolas Puppo and Frederico Moraes.
FIFA said their alleged involvement raises serious concerns that warrant close scrutiny.
The Communications Ministry has retracted its statement on building a pioneering AI system using Huawei Technologies chips.
"Malaysia would deploy 3,000 units of Huawei’s primary AI offering by 2026," said Deputy Minister Teo Nie Ching earlier.
🧵1
Teo said Chinese AI startup DeepSeek would contribute an AI model to the project.
Meanwhile, the statement drew attention from the White House, which is working to counter China's AI ambitions.
🧵2
The reversal follows the US Commerce Department revising guidance cautioning foreign companies against using Huawei’s Ascend chips.
The agency initially warned that using the chips globally might violate US export controls but later dropped the worldwide scope amid tensions with Beijing.

It found that she was stressed due to her workload, although the tasks were still within her job scope.
Tay allegedly died by suicide last Sept, with her family claiming mistreatment.

"Kita dapati tugasan yang dilakukan mendiang seperti mana ditetapkan dalam senarai tugas. Tidak ada satu-satunya yang kita dapati di luar skop atau bidang tugas.
"Selaku Timbalan Ketua Jabatan, Tay juga menguruskan perolehan, isu penjagaan stor dan sebagainya," it said.

Regarding claims that the HOD mistreated Tay, the task force said it found no evidence of such behavior.
Interviews with her colleagues and subordinates confirmed a professional work environment, with no reports of conflict or bullying.
SPAN has urged local councils to mandate alternative water supply plans for new data centres to prevent shortages as developments grow in Johor and Selangor.
The commission warned that reliance on treated water for cooling systems will be unsustainable in 3 to 5 years.
🧵1
“Before the local councils give approvals to build these large-scale centres, they must make sure to state to investors and respective parties the existence of rainwater harvesting, including clean water.
“It cannot be an afterthought,” said chairman Charles Santiago.
🧵2
SPAN called on the federal government to mandate efficient water use in data centres, prioritising alternative sources and sustainability.
States must also ensure raw water sufficiency before approving new projects, especially in areas where water demand is already high.
Chief Justice Tengku Maimun said there is a need to correct misunderstandings about Islam, even among Muslims.

Tengku Maimun said despite the civil court granting custody to the mother, conflicting orders issued by the Shariah court complicated the process.
Faced with the conflicting orders, the mother then sought a judicial review, requesting police assistance to reunite her with her children.
🧵2
"I was then told that when I decided on cases, I did not uphold Islamic principles or protect Islam.
"However, when I asked which principles of Islam we must uphold, I received no reply.
"This has nothing to do with Islamic principles. It is a plain principle of justice that a mother should not be deprived of her children, and vice versa," she asserted.
