What happens when the people of a community want to retain their current representative, but the political party “grandees” have other plans to fill the seats with so-called “new faces” and “young-blood.”
This seems to be the DAP conundrum.
In its flagship state of Penang, there are rumours circulating that some of the old stalwarts are going to be unseated. These are the people who helped shape the policies around a more inclusive state in the last three terms, after years of BN rule.
But voters want these accomplished leaders who have served them well to continue.

PETALING JAYA – Muda has taken a realistic approach in its election manifesto, the Muda Black Paper II, for next month’s state polls, says its president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman.
Syed Saddiq said the manifesto, launched today, is an idea, solution, and proposal for improvement to any party that will lead the state governments.
“Muda must be realistic. This is the idealism we want to share because it is impossible for Muda to take over any state, as we are not even contesting 10% of the total seats, so we want to outline the ideas and suggestions for improvements that can be highlighted.
“Muda will highlight this (manifesto) as our solution if we are in the state assembly and become the voice of the people. As I said, we do not have the numbers to form the government, but we have ideas and improvements that we can propose,” he said at the launch of the Muda Manifesto at its main operations room here today.

RedCobra1259: Khairy Jamaluddin, it is so surprising that you could assume that two Rs (race and religion) deserve more attention than one R (royalty). That is not how the law defines the severity of an offence. There are several factors that determine the weight of the offence. It is not one or two.
Secondly, mentioning temples will automatically involve the second R (religion). It’s a package deal, sir. Royalty is a standalone, separate institution. Someone can also claim attacking the royalty is also attacking another R (religion) as the royalties are deemed the defenders of the federation’s official religion.
Thirdly, what can we say about your comments? You are now the official spokesperson for Perikatan Nasional (PN). You are using the talk show to speak for PN so you will speak with a biased view as proven by the first and second points above.
Anyway, please don’t interpret the severity of the offence by one or two Rs. Logic says it does not work this way. What a poor assessment.
FairMind: Khairy, are you sure that caretaker Kedah menteri besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor only violated one R and not three Rs altogether, including the remark that the Federal Constitution states that Penang is part of Kedah?
Either you just came out of the cave, or you are PN’s man. I have always viewed you as a prime minister candidate but you are beginning to become inconsistent with your educated background in line with PAS’ consistent fitnah (slander).
It is understandable that PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang is ailing and Sanusi is trying to be tough like Hadi was when he was young. It appears that Sanusi is jostling to become the next president of PAS when Hadi leaves or at least, he wants to be thrust into the inner circle of power.

A deficiency of taurine—a nutrient produced in the body and found in many foods—is a driver of aging in animals, according to a new study led by Columbia researchers and involving dozens of aging researchers around the world.
The same study also found that taurine supplements can slow down the aging process in worms, mice, and monkeys and can even extend the healthy lifespans of middle-aged mice by up to 12%.
The study was published June 8 in Science(link is external and opens in a new window).
“For the last 25 years, scientists have been trying to find factors that not only let us live longer, but also increase healthspan, the time we remain healthy in our old age,” says the study’s leader, Vijay Yadav, PhD, assistant professor of genetics & development at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons.
“This study suggests that taurine could be an elixir of life within us that helps us live longer and healthier lives.”

Yellen Bows Repetitively – America Begging China To Buy $850 Billion Debt, But Beijing Has 5 Demands For The U.S.
![[Image: US-Treasury-Secretary-Janet-Yellen-Bowed...Lifeng.jpg]](http://www.financetwitter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/US-Treasury-Secretary-Janet-Yellen-Bowed-To-Vice-Premier-He-Lifeng.jpg)
Americans were stunned – and humiliated – when U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen bowed, not once, but repetitively, when she met Vice Premier He Lifeng during her visit to Beijing last week. Her Chinese counterpart was pleasantly surprised with her gesture that he appeared to backs away to give Yellen more room to “kowtow” and enthusiastically shaking his hand.
Bowing has never been American culture, especially to the Chinese, let alone a high-ranking American official like Yellen. It was a breach of protocol – fellow Americans slammed the 76-year-old treasury secretary as a video clip of the embarrassing moment emerged on social media. Some have even mocked and ridiculed her as if she was ready to kiss the ring of Vice Premier He.
Responding to the criticism of her bowing to China, Yellen insisted that Washington makes certain decisions while keeping national security in mind. Yes, she was sent by President Joe Biden on a secret mission – begging the Chinese to buy at least US$850 billion of American debt papers. It makes sense because U.S. will never bow unless it desperately needs your money, lots of it.

PETALING JAYA: Muslim politicians have been reminded not to be “extreme and fanatical” while campaigning ahead of next month’s state elections.
In making the call, Penang mufti Wan Salim Wan Mohd Noor said moderation and civility should be observed when campaigning.
“I would like to urge all politicians to adopt a moderate and respectful approach when conducting their campaigns,” he said in a statement.
“Campaign with politeness, uphold good manners and morals, and refrain from insulting, cursing, and defaming any individual solely because of political differences.
“Specifically for Muslim politicians, I would like to warn them not to be extreme and fanatical. This includes refraining from praying for the destruction of fellow believers, and even fellow countrymen of different religions.”

PETALING JAYA: An MCA leader has urged Putrajaya to draft a federal law to stop local authorities from acting as moral police after a fine was imposed on the owner of a Kelantan hair salon.
On July 9, the Kota Bharu Municipal Council (MPKB) fined a hair salon owner RM100 for allowing a female worker to cut the hair of a Muslim male customer.
MCA vice-president Ti Lian Ker acknowledged that state governments and local councils had the right to draft their own by-laws to govern traders. However, he said, these by-laws should not contravene federal laws, particularly the Federal Constitution.

From Chew Kok Liang
Recently, the US Supreme Court rejected race-based affirmative action at US colleges and universities.
It said that such action “lack sufficiently focused and measurable objectives warranting the use of race, unavoidably employ race in a negative manner, involve racial stereotyping, and lack meaningful endpoints”.
Further, “the student must be treated based on his or her experiences as an individual – not on the basis of race”.
