💙 Apakah yang benar-benar menjadikan sesebuah masyarakat itu hebat?

Adakah kerana pencapaian segelintir individu, atau kerana kebaikan kecil yang dilakukan setiap hari oleh insan-insan biasa?

Dalam catatan yang menyentuh hati ini, wartawan veteran Sajad Hussein Kamarally berkongsi pengajaran berharga yang dipelajarinya sepanjang menghadiri sebuah retret di London. Melalui kisah seorang doktor, ahli perniagaan, ibu, s**arelawan dan seorang kanak-kanak, beliau mengingatkan kita bahawa kepimpinan sebenar bermula dengan khidmat, dan kekuatan sesebuah komuniti terletak pada kesediaan kita untuk saling membantu tanpa mengharapkan balasan.

Ia merupakan satu peringatan bahawa maruah insan, ihsan, dan semangat kebersamaan adalah asas kepada sebuah masyarakat yang penyayang.

💙 What truly makes a society great?

Is it the achievements of a few, or the quiet acts of kindness performed every day by ordinary people?

In this heartfelt reflection, veteran journalist Sajad Hussein Kamarally shares the powerful lessons he learnt during a retreat in London. Through the simple acts of doctors, business leaders, parents, volunteers, and even a young child, he reminds us that true leadership begins with service, and that the strength of any community lies in people who willingly help one another without expecting anything in return.

It is a timely reminder that dignity, compassion, and solidarity remain the foundations of a caring society.

👨‍👧‍👦 Happy Father’s Day

Today, we honour fathers and father figures whose love, sacrifices, and hard work help build stronger families and communities.

Whether they are working in offices, factories, shops, construction sites, on the road, or in the gig economy, fathers across Malaysia strive every day to provide, protect, and create a better future for their loved ones.

Fatherhood is not only about providing financially. It is about care, guidance, resilience, and being present through life’s challenges and milestones.

As we celebrate Father’s Day, let us also recognise the importance of building a society where every father has access to decent work, fair opportunities, and the social protection needed to support their families with dignity.

To all fathers, grandfathers, single fathers, and father figures, thank you for the difference you make every day.

❤️ Happy Father’s Day ❤️

~~~~~~~~~~

👨‍👧‍👦 Selamat Hari Bapa

Hari ini, kita menghargai para bapa dan insan yang memainkan peranan sebagai bapa atas kasih sayang, pengorbanan, dan usaha mereka dalam membina keluarga serta masyarakat yang lebih kuat.

Sama ada bekerja di pejabat, kilang, kedai, tapak pembinaan, di jalan raya atau dalam ekonomi gig, para bapa di seluruh Malaysia berusaha setiap hari untuk menyediakan kehidupan yang lebih baik buat keluarga mereka.

Menjadi seorang bapa bukan sekadar mencari nafkah. Ia juga tentang kasih sayang, bimbingan, ketabahan, dan sentiasa hadir untuk keluarga dalam saat s**a mahupun duka.

Sempena Hari Bapa ini, marilah kita menghargai peranan para bapa serta terus berusaha membina sebuah masyarakat yang memberikan peluang yang adil, pekerjaan yang bermaruah, dan perlindungan sosial yang membolehkan setiap keluarga hidup dengan lebih sejahtera.

Kepada semua bapa, datuk, bapa tunggal, dan insan yang menjadi figura bapa dalam kehidupan seseorang, terima kasih atas segala jasa dan pengorbanan anda.

❤️ Selamat Hari Bapa ❤️

📢 NUBE telah mengeluarkan satu surat terbuka kepada YAB Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim yang menyeru agar kebebasan dan kemandirian Kongres Kesatuan Sekerja Malaysia (MTUC) dipulihkan serta campur tangan terhadap pergerakan kesatuan sekerja dihentikan.

Dalam surat tersebut, NUBE menyuarakan kebimbangan berhubung pembubaran sementara MTUC susulan siasatan berkaitan dakwaan amalan anti-kesatuan sekerja, dan berpandangan bahawa tindakan tersebut berisiko melemahkan suara pekerja di peringkat nasional dan antarabangsa.

Kebebasan pekerja untuk berorganisasi dan diwakili secara bebas merupakan asas penting kepada hak pekerja, maruah insan, dan keadilan sosial.

Kami mengajak para pengikut untuk membaca surat terbuka NUBE ini dan meneliti isu-isu yang dibangkitkan.

📄 Surat penuh dilampirkan.

17/06/2026

📢 NUBE has issued an open letter to YAB Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim calling for the restoration of the freedom and independence of the Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) and an end to interference in the trade union movement.

In the circular, NUBE raises concerns over the temporary dissolution of MTUC following investigations related to allegations of anti-union practices, and argues that the move risks weakening the voice of workers both nationally and internationally.

The freedom of workers to organise and be represented independently is a cornerstone of workers’ rights, dignity, and social justice.

We invite our followers to read NUBE’s open letter and consider the issues raised.

🎉👏 : Apabila Rakyat Bersuara, Perubahan Berlaku 👏🎉

Pada Disember 2024, NUBE melancarkan kempen bagi mencabar caj RM1 untuk pengeluaran ATM antara bank.

Apa yang berlaku selepas itu merupakan satu contoh bagaimana suara rakyat mampu membawa perubahan.

Pengguna, pertubuhan masyarakat sivil, pakar ekonomi, Ahli-Ahli Parlimen, dan rakyat Malaysia daripada pelbagai latar belakang telah bersatu di bawah satu prinsip yang mudah:

Rakyat tidak sepatutnya dikenakan caj hanya untuk mengakses wang mereka sendiri.

Mulai 1 Julai 2026, caj RM1 bagi pengeluaran ATM antara bank akan dimansuhkan di seluruh negara.

Seperti yang dinyatakan oleh Setiausaha Agung NUBE, J Solomon:

“Semua pihak memainkan peranan masing-masing. Tidak penting siapa yang berkempen untuk pemansuhan caj RM1 ini. Apa yang penting ialah hasilnya.”

Hasilnya menjadi peringatan bahawa perubahan yang bermakna boleh dicapai apabila rakyat, institusi dan masyarakat bergerak ke arah matlamat yang sama.

🎉👏 : When Citizens Speak, Change Happens 👏🎉

In December 2024, NUBE launched the campaign to challenge the RM1 interbank ATM withdrawal fee.

What followed was a remarkable example of public participation in action.

Consumers, civil society organisations, economists, Members of Parliament, and ordinary Malaysians came together around a simple principle:

People should not be charged simply to access their own money.

From 1 July 2026, the RM1 interbank ATM withdrawal fee will be abolished nationwide.

As NUBE General Secretary J Solomon noted:

“Everyone played their part. It doesn’t really matter who campaigned for the scrapping of the RM1 withdrawal fee. What is important is the result.”

The result is a reminder that meaningful change is possible when citizens, institutions, and communities work towards a common goal.
