PETALING JAYA: Controversial Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) lecturer Kamarul Zaman Yusoff has been working in the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) for the past six months, says a source.
The source told FMT that Kamarul, a political analyst, worked as a special officer to Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, advising him on policy issues.
The matter came to light after the PMO uploaded a poster today of an event that Kamarul was going to attend. In the poster, the lecturer’s designation was given as “special officer to the prime minister”.
FMT has reached out to the PMO for comment.
Last year, opposition leader Anwar Ibahim urged UUM to launch an investigation into Kamarul for allegedly stoking religious tensions in comments made about DAP MP Steven Sim.
This was related to Sim’s assistance to a Malay youth who was facing some tough times and it was “made an issue” by the academic.

Washington hijacks ‘collective security of EU’ to serve anti-Russia strategy, benefit |

After Finland and Sweden formally submitted letters on Wednesday to join NATO, the new round of expansion of the US-led military alliance is very likely to be further strengthened, however this change will not reinforce the collective security of Europe, but will only benefit the US as Washington can only rebuild its declining hegemony upon keeping other regions intense or by instigating more conflicts, said analysts on Wednesday.
The nature of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is a strategic game between Moscow and Washington, and the fact proves that the conflict has created a new situation that harmed Ukraine, Russia and the rest of Europe, but only benefits the US. Now Washington wants to keep this situation so NATO continues to expand, and the result is that Russia will not compromise and relevant countries will not be more secure but could become the new frontlines that directly face the unpredictable Russia-US confrontation, experts noted.
US President Joe Biden on Thursday will welcome the Prime Minister of Sweden and the President of Finland to the White House in a key show of support days after both countries announced they would seek to join NATO, CNN reported on Tuesday.

SINGAPORE – The social media accounts of a number of political leaders and government agencies in Singapore have been spammed by supporters of an Indonesian preacher who was denied entry into Singapore on Monday, CNA reported.
Quoting a Communications and Information Ministry (MCI) spokesman, the online news portal said there were calls for cyberattacks against the Singapore government’s social media accounts on public Indonesian chat groups.
The report said the Instagram accounts of President Halimah Yacob, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean and Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan were among those that were affected, as was Lee’s Twitter account.
