Bob Odenkirk was an unusual choice to helm an action-thriller franchise, but the runaway success of Nobodyin 2021 proved the former Mr. Show star/creator could shoot, stab, and mangle bad guys with the best of them. While Nobody 2underperformed at the box office compared to the first entry, it was packed with arguably even more — and even gorier — mayhem than the first. Plus, it had a villainous Sharon Stone chewing up and spitting out every bit of scenery she could.

PUTRAJAYA, June 6 (Bernama) -- Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has proposed the establishment of a dedicated accreditation body for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to coordinate the assessment and recognition of the field without affecting the roles of the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) and the Department of Skills Development (JPK).

Ahmad Zahid, who is also chairman of the National TVET Council, said the proposal was made in view of the current system, which separates academic and skills-based accreditation, whereas TVET requires a dedicated body to provide more comprehensive coordination.

“As we have 1,395 TVET institutions, it would be better for accreditation to be carried out by a dedicated body without interfering with the accreditation functions currently undertaken by MQA and JPK.

“This is in line with the standards adopted by several developed countries, where we have found that they have separate bodies for accreditation, and this is something Malaysia can emulate,” he told reporters after launching the Government-Industry TVET Coordination Body (GITC) TVET Placement Centre (GTPC) and the High-Impact Industry Forum in conjunction with National TVET Day 2026 here today.

Commenting on the progress of the proposal, he said the matter had been discussed with relevant stakeholders, including those at the Higher Education Ministry.

He added that he had discussed the matter with Higher Education director-general Datuk Prof Dr Azlinda Azman, Higher Education Ministry secretary-general Datuk Dr Aminuddin Hassim and, prior to that, with Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir.

“I believe the matter can be pursued at the working level, and my secretary-general (Datuk Seri Suriani Ahmad) will follow up with both MQA and JPK,” he said.

Asked whether the proposed accreditation body would require new appointments, the Rural and Regional Development Minister said there was no such need, as the necessary structure already existed within the current system.

“No, because the personnel are already in place. It is only a matter of separating responsibilities specifically for technical fields,” he said.

Reiterating the proposal during his speech, Ahmad Zahid said the establishment of a dedicated accreditation body formed part of a broader TVET-specific recognition agenda aimed at ensuring TVET graduates meet industry standards and labour market requirements.

He said the GTPC should play a key role as a national bridge between talent and industry to ensure that industrial training placements, work-based learning, apprenticeship opportunities, employment placements and talent matching are carried out in a more structured manner.

“More importantly, I hope Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai, as chairman of GITC, will ensure that GITC becomes an instrument for the nation to better understand the actual needs of the job market for TVET graduates,” he said.

Meanwhile, Ahmad Zahid said TVET was no longer merely an educational agenda but had evolved into a national agenda requiring the collective involvement of all stakeholders, including the government, industry and training institutions.

He said the TVET ecosystem must be driven collectively within a more structured framework to ensure its effectiveness and alignment with current industry needs.

“This can only be achieved if the government, industry and institutions work together within a well-coordinated ecosystem,” he said.

The National TVET Day 2026 celebration is being held over three days, from yesterday, at Dataran Putrajaya here, with the official opening and launch of TVET 2.0 officiated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. — Bernama

JOHOR BAHRU, June 1 — Johor DAP has clarified that the party had offered to appoint incumbent Skudai assemblyman Marina Ibrahim to helm a statutory body and not a government-linked company (GLC) as seen in a letter that went viral.

Johor DAP vice-chairman Sheikh Umar Bagharib Ali said there is a difference in a statutory body and a GLC.

He said Johor DAP chairman Teo Nie Ching had stated that she offered Marina to lead a statutory body and not a GLC.

“Statutory bodies are established by an Act of Parliament or state enactment to fulfill specific public policy or socio-economic objectives, while a GLC is incorporated under the Companies Act 2016 and the government acts as a majority shareholder.

“In this recent issue, Teo had offered Marina to helm a statutory body that is related to social welfare work.

“This is actually a good fit for Marina who has been passionate and known for her welfare activism over the years.,” he said when contacted by Malay Mail today.

The DAP’s Central Executive Committee (CEC) member was responding to criticism that the party is allegedly using positions in GLCs as political tools.

Sheikh Umar said the unnamed statutory body was a right fit for Marina based on her work in welfare activism.

“In fact, the party’s leadership felt Marina would be able to perform well and assist in shaping policy by being appointed to the statutory body.

“The proposed appointment by DAP is not a form of reward that is used to lure or motivate someone to perform a task,” he said, adding that it is normal for DAP to initiate moves that are strategic for the party’s long term.

Meanwhile, Johor Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Aminolhuda Hassan said that such appointments, especially to statutory bodies, was a normal practice for any political parties that are part of the government.

The Johor Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) chief also clarified that for such appointments only eligible and hardworking party members who have promise will be considered.

“Generally, the person being considered will normally be a subject matter expert or have a good knowledge of the field that the statutory body is established under,” he said, adding that statutory bodies, unlike a GLC, are under the purview of the government and not a corporate company.

Abby Lee Miller‘s doctor, Beverly Hills celebrity plastic surgeon Patrick Davis, may have earned himself a spot at the top of the pyramid after completing her $1,000 ear rejuvenation procedure.

The Dance Moms star, 60, gushed over her results in a new interview published on Wednesday, June 10, following the procedure to enhance the appearance of her earlobes after years of wearing heavy pieces of jewelry.

“It was amazing,” Miller told Page Six after recruiting Dr. Davis to do the job. Instead of going under the knife, he opted for a non-surgical approach by doing hyaluronic acid filler injections.

Abby Lee Miller Gets Called Out by Fans for Using 'Aggressive' Beauty Filter

Abby Lee’s late mother, Maryen Lorrain Miller, “always used to complain about her earlobes and how they looked,” she said, leading her to notice a similar stretched look due to the statement earrings she’s worn day-to-day.

“Then I started noticing it myself because I would put an earring in my ear and the whole earring would go through,” she explained. “The hoops would flip all the way around with the back and the whole thing in it.”

It was an easy-breezy procedure that took less than 30 minutes, following which Abby Lee rated the pain level a “two” out of 10, adding, “Everyone’s going to be flocking to their doctors to do this.”

Dr. Davis told Page Six the injections “can plump up the earlobe that has shrunken in size” with results that are visible right after the procedure and improve even more in the days to come. There is a surgical procedure available for patients as well, although that price range can go up to $3,000 to $4,000.

Abby Lee was advised to avoid wearing her go-to hoops and studs for a bit, but she admitted that was not an option. “He didn’t want me to wear earrings for like a week, and I couldn’t do it because I had an event that I had to go to,” she confessed with a laugh.

These days, Abby Lee isn’t slowing down when it comes to her career as a dance instructor. She proudly shared, “When I ask my class, ‘Did anyone here start to dance because of Dance Moms? and I see those hands go up, I know I did something right.”
