  Race-baiting politics is really pathetic
Posted by: superadmin - 06-09-2023, 08:06 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

Earlier this week, a PKR leader told FMT that Malay support for the ruling federal administration and opposition is split down the middle. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the source reportedly said that 25% of Malay support is with PH and BN, and another 25% is with Bersatu and PAS. And the remainder 50% are fence sitters.

The PKR worry is that PN will increase their race and religious propaganda leading up to the upcoming state elections, and their fear is that this might swing neutrals to PN.

Why would race and religious propaganda swing neutrals to PN? And why, even in 2023, are we still hung-up about race and religion? Isn’t the economy, harmony, and global competitiveness the real consideration before deciding who to vote for?

Please don’t get me wrong. Your vote is your choice. It is an unalienable right for every Malaysian citizen to choose their elected representative. Just like you must never give up your choice to determine your religion or even your choice not to believe.

  “UMNO must collude with DAP, PH component parties who command 97% of non-Malay votes

“UMNO must collude with DAP, other PH component parties who command 97% of non-Malay votes”
[Image: Lokman-Noor-Adam-Tok-Mat.jpg]

STRESSING that Pakatan Harapan (PH) has never made UMNO less Malay, the party’s communication director Datuk Lokman Noor Adam has called on all UMNO members to be wary of the propaganda of voting only for UMNO but to abstain from voting should other PH component parties, especially DAP, contest in their constituencies.

Stating that this runs afoul of the spirit of the unity government, the UMNO Supreme Council member emphasised the need to unite in a multi-ethical environment as a plural society even if majority of the population is made up of Muslim Malays.

“If we can accept Malaysia as a plural society, then we should not deprive others of a chance to make a living in the country,” he told a question & answer (Q&A) session on his live Facebook broadcast yesterday (June 7) after addressing UMNO’s deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan’s (Tok Mat) concerns over who will further trust UMNO if the unity government fails.

“Today we have to accept the reality that DAP and other coalition members of the unity government managed to generate support from 97% of non-Malay voters which is by no means a small figure.”

  Who wants to pay $3,500 for Apple’s new goggles?
Posted by: superadmin - 06-07-2023, 02:53 PM - Forum: Digital Cameras, TV Box, Smart Watch and etc. - No Replies

[Image: Screen_Shot_2023_06_05_at_2.52.02_PM.0.png]

Apple CEO Tim Cook debuted the $3,500 Vision Pro headset on Monday. And we’ll have to take his word for it that these goggles use amazing tech to show you really cool things when you wear them. As we previewed last week, they can either show you a completely digital reality, or they can show you digital images superimposed on the real world around you.

Also, let’s imagine that over time we’ll see advances that will make the goggles smaller and cheaper. And that maybe one day they’ll just become glasses.

But for now, Apple’s biggest product launch in more than a decade — maybe its biggest launch since the iPhone — is a pair of goggles. If they didn’t have a power cord attached to them, you might mistake them for something you’d see on a ski slope.

For the record: Apple says Vision Pro is its entry into “spatial computing.” In practical terms that means it’s a computer you wear on your face, and that instead of staring into a phone screen or monitor, you look into the headset — and sometimes, through it to see digital images overlaid on the world around you. You can plug it into the wall or use a battery pack to power it.

  Govt subsidy cut only for T20, don’t make this political: PM
Posted by: superadmin - 06-06-2023, 03:00 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

[Image: 20230606_anwar_ibrahim_info_dept.jpg]

KUALA LUMPUR – The move to cut government subsidies only affects the rich or T20 group and that too is at a minimal rate, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

“The subsidy reduction only involves the rich T20 households. Can’t they do with less subsidies?

“I have to take away some from those well off in order not to burden the poor,” he said during Minister’s Question Time at the Dewan Rakyat sitting here today.

He said this in reply to a supplementary question from Radzi Jidin (PN-Putrajaya) on the decision to reduce government subsidies following the fall of the ringgit.

Citing the electricity subsidy as an example, the prime minister said 90% of the people will not be affected by the reduction, as it only has an impact on T20 households with big houses.

  Is it true the gov’t spends a whopping RM2 bil annually to pay pension of MPs?

Is it true the gov’t spends a whopping RM2 bil annually to pay pension of MPs, ministers?
[Image: FW1225906_KL18_28022022_PARLIMEN_AGONG-lpr.jpg]

THE government has to quickly answer claims that it spends a staggering RM2 bil annually to fund the pension of former MPs, ministers, deputy ministers (including parliamentary secretaries in the past) to the prime ministers.

Legal practitioner Khairul Anwar Rahmat who sparked the billion-ringgit question further raised the likelihood of big monthly pension bagged by the former wakil rakyat if they had dual roles of being state assemblymen, executive councillors and even Menteri Besar.

Attributing the source of his information to an insider dubbed “blue bird”, the Malaysian Volunteer Lawyers Association (SukaGuam) chairman expressed surprised at the big income that politicians can earn even when they no longer render any service to the people.

“I just did a quick check whereby RM2 bil can build two state-of-the-art hospitals (RM1 bil each) or 10 schools if it is assumed that the cost of each school is RM200 mil,” the International Islamic University Malaysia-trained lawyer penned in a recent Facebook post.

  Khairy mulls starting own party despite ‘saturated’ political scene
Posted by: superadmin - 06-06-2023, 08:10 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

[Image: khairy_jamaluddin_keluar_sekejap_screen_grab_pic.png]


KUALA LUMPUR – Sacked Umno leader Khairy Jamaluddin is giving some thought to forming his own political party.

Speaking on the latest episode of his talk show Keluar Sekejap today, the former health minister said this is an option he had been thinking about recently.

However, he also felt conflicted as he believed the market for political parties was "already saturated".

“But I think if we can have a second chance, why not on our own terms?

“Not everyone gets a chance again without resorting to party-hopping.

“Maybe I want to do it on my own terms,” he said on the show, which he co-hosts with former Umno information chief Shahril Hamdan.

  Japan must clarify the RM207bil ‘Death Railway’ controversy
Posted by: superadmin - 06-06-2023, 07:31 AM - Forum: Politics - Replies (1)

[Image: K-Parkaran-Columnist-3-new.jpg]

During a recent visit to the Kanchanaburi JEATH War Museum in Thailand, I met with two men whose grandfathers were victims of the infamous “Death Railway”.

The victims were among thousands of Malaysians forcibly taken by the Japanese to work as labourers to build a railway track from there to Burma (now Myanmar) during World War II.

They had come to see if the graves of their ancestors were among 6,982 victims buried in tombstones bearing their names in the special Kanchanaburi War Cemetery dedicated to their memory. Unfortunately for the duo, only soldiers and prisoners of war who perished while working on the project were given a resting place there.

The soldiers were from Australia, the Netherlands and the UK. According to records, these countries are still providing funds to local authorities and certain NGOs to maintain the well-kept graveyard.
