  Anwar Ibrahim a tool of DAP, really? – Rocky Bru
Posted by: superadmin - 11-14-2022, 10:25 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

[Image: 05112021_-_KUL_-_DAP_building_symbol_par...ien-08.jpg]


IN his quest to become prime minister for the second time in 2018, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad had to bring himself to do two things many had thought impossible and unthinkable: the first was to embrace Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the former deputy prime minister he had incarcerated and accused of sodomy 20 years earlier; and the second to eat humble pie and kowtow to DAP, the party that he had for decades labelled as an anti-Malay spectre so that he and Umno would continue to get the god-fearing Malay-Muslims votes, especially in the kampung.

Dr Mahathir even went public to say that I now realise DAP is not chauvinist at all.

When he became PM, he made Lim Guan Eng the finance minister and turned his charms full on to become the love of the lives of the likes of Hannah Yeoh and Tony Pua.

There was no happy ending to that short-lived fairy tale, as we all know, and DAP is back in Pakatan Harapan, solidly behind Anwar Ibrahim once more.

  4 weaknesses in China’s economy, from local government finances to poor regulation
Posted by: superadmin - 11-14-2022, 03:58 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies

  • Vice-Premier Liu He and central bank governor Yi Gang are among the outgoing senior officials that have reflected on major risks facing the economy
  • Concerns range from the worrying state of local government finances to inadequate regulation of the financial system, including some small banks

[Image: 7a8fc9d1-9d17-4bdd-88a7-f1b9dabc472f_07b...1668157927]

Deteriorating local government finances, weak banks and inadequate regulation are among the main risks facing China’s economy, according to senior officials and regulators who have recently published candid assessments following the agenda-setting 20th party congress.

Vice-Premier Liu He, central bank governor Yi Gang, Minister of Finance Liu Kun and banking and insurance regulator chairman Guo Shuqing have all reflected on the dangers facing the state-dominated financial system, though they have not outlined specific improvements.

None of the officials have made it onto the list of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party – the party’s top decision-making body – unveiled at the 20th party congress, a sign that they may step down from their roles next year. Their views carry weight nonetheless and come amid growing concern about Beijing’s policy direction.

[Image: Voting-Malaysia-The-Edge-Markets.webp]

THE 15th general election (GE15) is the first election in which the youth will make up more than 50% of the electorate.

Over 5.8 million new voters, including 1.2 million aged between 18 and 20, will go to the polls for the first time.

With this in mind, Undi18, in collaboration with Google, has launched the Undi Negaraku website where voters can, in one-stop, educate themselves and learn more about what it means to be an informed voter participating in the democratic process of an election.

The one-stop site aims to prepare first-time and seasoned voters alike for the upcoming GE15. This includes topics such as tackling misinformation, a guide for first-time voters and information on the political coalitions in Malaysia.

  BN might have won 2018 without Najib, says Saravanan
Posted by: superadmin - 11-14-2022, 11:19 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies


TAPAH: Barisan Nasional might have remained in power in 2018 if Najib Razak had sat out the elections, according to MIC deputy president M Saravanan.

He said Najib’s image problem was a contributing factor to the shift in support among Indian voters away from BN.

“If only he’d declared that he wasn’t contesting, maybe, I think BN would have retained power. But Najib’s position, 1MDB,  the goods and services tax and many other issues were played up by the opposition, so the Indians shifted,” Saravanan told FMT.

He said it was made worse by Pakatan Harapan making many “empty promises” such as resolving the issue of red ICs among Malaysian Indians, which they failed to do during the coalition’s 22-month tenure in government.

“And now they’re saying that the previous 22 months was not sufficient, it’s not Dr Mahathir Mohamad or anyone else saying that,” Saravanan said.

  Collapsed FTX hit by rogue transactions; analysts saw over US$600 mil outflows
Posted by: superadmin - 11-13-2022, 02:29 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies

[Image: ftx_20221111222024_reuters.jpg?SWEU.U4nx...ceko5iGes3]

HONG KONG/SINGAPORE/LONDON (Nov 13): FTX was engulfed in more chaos on Saturday when the crypto exchange said it had detected unauthorised access and analysts said hundreds of millions of dollars of assets had been moved from the platform in "suspicious circumstances".

FTX filed for bankruptcy on Friday, one of the highest-profile crypto blow-ups, after traders rushed to withdraw US$6 billion (RM27.76 billion) from the platform in just 72 hours and rival exchange Binance abandoned a proposed rescue deal.

FTX chief executive officer John J Ray III said on Saturday that the company was working with law enforcement and regulators to mitigate the problem, and was making "every effort to secure all assets, wherever located".

"Among other things, we are in the process of removing trading and withdrawal functionality," he said.

  Factoring a solution against bad payers in the B2B sector
Posted by: sharminseo - 11-13-2022, 12:18 PM - Forum: Places of Interest - No Replies

It's every B2B company's absolute nightmare late payments. And for good reason invoices paid after the due date or even unpaid bills are commonplace in the sector. For several companies, factoring therefore appears to be an effective means of anticipating possible cash flow problems. What is factoring? Also called factoring , factoring is a financial management technique which consists, for a company, in calling on a specialized organization to take care of its cash flow. The financial institution in question, nicknamed factor , is responsible for all subjects related to invoicing: management of unpaid bills, monitoring of payments, termination of reminders and recovery, etc. Note that there are several types of factoring.

With their own specificities classic factoring: the company sells its receivables directly to the factor. Who immediately pays the corresponding amount. semi-confidential factoring: here, the factor only handles cash management, but not debt collection. one-off factoring: in this case, the factoring contract does not concern all the Bulk SMS Service receivables, but rather a few, and this on an irregular basis. Usually it's on a case-by-case basis. reverse factoring : rarer, reverse factoring is initiated by the debtor, who asks the factor to settle his debts with the company. import factoring and export factoring: these two types of factoring concern B2B companies that work with international customers. How does factoring work.

[Image: Latest-Database-copy-300x300.jpg]

In concrete terms when a company signs a factoring contract with a financial institution. This means that it assigns all of its receivables to it. The process is as follows: A B2B company issues an invoice for a customer, She uses a factor and signs a factoring contract, It "sells" the invoice to the specialized body, Upon receipt of the document, the factoring company pays 90% of the amount including tax of the receivables to the company. The remaining 10% is intended for the guarantee fund as well as management fees, and is paid to the company when its customers have paid their invoices to the factor . It is the factor who will have to take care of the recovery of the invoice in the event of unpaid or late payment, since it is he who now owns the debt. An effective tool to guard against delays and non-payments In the B2B sector.
