Johor polls 

• Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim accused the Johor government of being slow to deliver affordable housing for its people.

  “Why is Johor slow in developing housing for the people? That is why I want change in Johor. We must focus on the lower-income group,” he was quoted as saying by Free Malaysia Today.

  “State planning must be improved. Only then can it be aligned with the federal government, and we must maintain cooperation and mutual respect,” he added.

Defence

• Defence Minister Khaled Nordin says Norwegian arms manufacturer Kongsberg wants to talk after Putrajaya moved to claim RM1.06 billion after Norway blocked the sale of naval strike missiles to Malaysia.

  

  Bernama cited him as saying the ministry will approach the matter cautiously, wary that discussions may be used to delay compensation.
