KUALA LUMPUR: Penyanyi terkenal era 80-an, Ibnor Riza Ibrahim, 62, dilapor meninggal dunia di Hospital Canselor Tunku Muhriz (HCTM) pada jam 3.30 petang, Ahad.

Penyanyi yang popular dengan pelbagai lagu hit termasuk "Berdiri Seorang Perindu" itu menghembuskan nafas terakhir selepas dua minggu bertarung nyawa akibat kanser limfoma.

Consider This: Transnational Repression (Part 2) — Are Our Governments Enabling It?

Authoritarian regimes don’t stop at their own borders—often reaching across countries to track, detain, and deport refugees, activists, and migrants. This is transnational repression: when a state extends its repression beyond its own beyond their borders to control or punish its citizens abroad. Malaysia and Thailand, two of Southeast Asia’s biggest hubs for migrants and refugees, have become key battlegrounds for transnational repression. With Malaysia helming ASEAN chair this year, what role does the region play in resisting, or enabling, transnational repression? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Krittaporn Semsantad, Programme Director at the Bangkok-based Peace Rights Foundation.
