PRU15: Sarawak masih pertimbang cuti pada 18 November ini

SRI AMAN: Kerajaan Sarawak masih mempertimbangkan untuk mengumumkan cuti pada 18 November ini sehari sebelum Hari Pengundian Pilihan Raya Umum Ke-15 (PRU15).

Premier Sarawak, Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg berkata, pihaknya akan berbincang mengenai perkara itu yang dikhuatiri memberi kesan kepada ekonomi negeri.

"Saya fikir dulu kerana ia perlu melihat dua perkara. Kita mengundi 19 (November)... sepatutnya beri cuti 20 (November). Apa yang berlaku, ekonomi kita akan terjejas.

"Apabila kita gazetkan cuti, kita mesti memberi bayaran berganda kepada pekerja. Ini akan menaikkan perbelanjaan dalam keadaan ekonomi tidak menentu.

"Saya fikir tidak wajar. Apa yang berlaku menjejaskan ekonomi dan produktiviti kita. Jadi kita ambil kira semua ini," katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian sebagai mengulas tindakan beberapa kerajaan negeri yang mengumumkan cuti pada 18 November ini.

Terdahulu beliau merasmikan program Sarawakku Sayang di Dataran Lingga, Sri Aman.

Consider This: Teens, Tech & Trust (Part 2) — Building Digital Resilience

In Malaysia, 75% of teenagers use social media daily—but with this constant connection comes a growing number of risks. A new report by the think tank SERI titled ‘Teens, Tech, and Trust’ reveals that fewer than half of Malaysian teens feel safe online— with cyberbullying, scams, and hacking being everyday realities. Meanwhile, questions are being raised about whether schools, parents, and even social media platforms are doing enough to protect our young digital citizens. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Dr Benjamin Loh, senior lecturer at Taylor’s University School of Media and Communication and director of the Impact Lab for Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.
