3 Jun – While some of his peers are now entering the political arena, KRU Entertainment's President and Group CEO, Datuk Norman Abdul Halim stated that politics is just not for him.

The former rapper, who spoke to Harian Metro earlier, said that being a supporter would suffice for him rather than run for office.

"I am not interested at all. I do have a lot of acquaintances in the political arena from various parties, and I realised that the responsibilities and trust they have to bear is great indeed," he said.

When mentioned that there are several artistes, including Datuk Afdlin Shauki and Datuk Hans Isaac who are involved in politics, Norman said that that is up to them.

"I believe that each and every one of them has their own political agenda and direction. But for me, I am just not interested," he said.

Nonetheless, Norman said that if one is to join politics, one should start from below - so that one could understand the problems plaguing the society first before trying to resolve issues involving the entertainment industry.

Afdlin previously ran for the position of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Setiawangsa Branch Chief

The UN has betrayed Israel again
This has been another week of shame for the United Nations, which has again voted to reward terrorism and victim-blame Israel. The general assembly has voted overwhelmingly to back the Palestinian bid for full UN membership, a move that Israel’s envoy, Gilad Erdan, has warned will give “the rights of a state to an entity that is already partly controlled” by Hamas.

Sinwar Helped Start the War in the Gaza Strip. Now He’s Key to Its Endgame.
JERUSALEM — After Hamas attacked Israel in October, igniting the war in the Gaza Strip, Israeli leaders described the group’s most senior official in the territory, Yehia Sinwar, as a “dead man walking.” Considering him an architect of the raid, Israel has portrayed Sinwar’s assassination as a major goal of its devastating counterattack. Seven months later, Sinwar’s survival is emblematic of the failures of Israel’s war, which has ravaged much of Gaza but left Hamas’ top leadership largely intac
