Here are the key headlines from yesterday you may have missed, in brief.

Pressure to declassify auditor-general's report

The whistleblower site Sarawak Report continued with its series of exposé on the auditor-general’s report on 1MDB into its fourth day. This time, it focused on what it purports to be 1MDB’s power purchase agreements in 2012.

In the absence of any confirmation or denial about its authenticity, the debate about Sarawak Report’s leak of purportedly classified documents also continued.

This time, the spotlight is on minister Salleh Said Keruak, who earlier claimed that the website is bent on misleading people from the parliamentary Public Accounts Committee’s findings on 1MDB.

Pokok Sena MP Mahfuz Omar and PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man challenged the government to declassify and release the auditor-general’s report on 1MDB so that people can see how Sarawak Report had misled, while DAP’s Lim Kit Siang mused whether Salleh is questioning the integrity of the auditor-general’s report.

Visas to curb IS threat?

The National Security Council has proposed imposing visa restrictions on travellers from countries in the Middle East, in a bid to curb the IS threat in Malaysia, while the Home Ministry said it is prepared to implement the idea once it receives a formal directive from the council.

Meanwhile, the Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) said it would take action against settlers or their family members found to have been involved in the militant group.

On the international front, a report has found that IS has lost 12 percent of its territorial holdings in Syria and surrounding countries this year, as well as a sizable chunk of its revenue. However, the group responded by focusing on terrorist attacks and economic sabotage beyond its borders.

Bangladesh, which is still reeling from an attack by IS-affiliated militants, has banned Indian preacher Zakir Naik’s TV channel. This followed reports that one of the militants was Zakir’s follower on the social media, although Zakir has denied promoting terrorism.

Other Kinibites

Another three people have been abducted off the coast of east Sabah. This time they are Indonesian nationals working on a Malaysian-registered fishing trawler.

The Foreign Ministry said it would look into reports that Indonesia would subject Malaysian and Singaporean visitors to additional scrutiny to curb drug smuggling.

Taiping MP Nga Kor Ming denied uploading a Facebook photo comparing duit raya to dedak (animal feed). An unimpressed Gerakan said Nga was merely playing the victim card and lacked the gumption to own up to his mistakes.
