The officers were caught while receiving RM26,000 from a syndicate at Port Dickson jetty.

Sinar Harian headlined Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim's warning to candidates in the PKR election to not use mainstream media for campaigning.

Editorial

New Straits Times opined that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must extend the moratorium on settlement building in the West Bank, which expired last Sunday, if he is serious about peace talks.

Utusan said that Malays must always remember that only by clinging on to political power can they safeguard their prosperity against the threats from other parties.

Berita Harian echoed Utusan in saying that in an increasingly competitive world, political power is the only way for Malays to avoid being sidelined.
