   The Alor Setar High Court dismissed an application by GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd and its CEO Nasiruddin Ali to challenge a Kedah fatwa declaring GISBH a deviant teachings organisation.

GISBH and Nasiruddin will appeal, after similar challenges in Shah Alam and Kangar were also rejected.

   Fertilizer distribution to padi farmers in the MADA area of Kedah has reached nearly 47 percent, with about 290,000 of the 616,000 bags distributed.
