SC’s findings on Azam ‘upsetting’, says Guan Eng Posted by: superadmin - 01-18-2022, 07:01 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: DAP’s Lim Guan Eng says that the Securities Commission Malaysia’s (SC) inability to determine if Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Azam Baki had committed a securities offence was “upsetting”. He said the laws are clear about proxy share trading, yet the SC had yet to reveal if Azam’s brother was involved in purchasing the shares. Lim said if the regulators cannot answer pertinent questions, then it should explain why three people were similarly fined millions of ringgit for a similar offence in the past. “This is clearly double standard. Is SC going to return the fines they have paid and apologise for prosecuting them?” Lim said SC’s response was against its legal duty as capital market regulators. He said Azam had openly and publicly admitted that he had allowed his brother to conduct proxy share trading. “Like every developed capital market in the world, proxy share trading is outlawed, as a trading account must be opened in the name of the beneficial owner or authorised nominee,” he said. - More -   SC’s findings on Azam should be made public, says C4 Posted by: superadmin - 01-18-2022, 06:55 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: An anti-corruption watchdog has urged the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) to explain how it could not “conclusively establish” if Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Azam Baki broke the law over his ownership of shares. “We urge the SC to make public their inquiry findings and how it arrived at this uncertain conclusion,” Center to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4) executive director Cynthia Gabriel told FMT. “This vindicates further our position from the onset that only a full and independent probe will suffice, as it will also establish any potential breach of the public servant asset declaration laws and circulars as well as reveal the source of funds,” she said. Stating that the country is “deep diving into further darkness”, Cynthia also called for Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob to immediately convene a high-level task force to investigate the issue. Meanwhile, Bersih chairman Thomas Fann said the SC must explain why their investigations were inconclusive. - More -   Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet - Joslin - Henri Mancini, Nino Rota Posted by: superadmin - 01-18-2022, 06:32 PM - Forum: Musics - No Replies   A physicist’s lessons about race, power, and the universe Posted by: superadmin - 01-18-2022, 03:41 PM - Forum: Sciences - No Replies When Chanda Prescod-Weinstein was a 10-year-old growing up in East Los Angeles, she came across the Errol Morris documentary A Brief History of Time, which chronicled the life of the physicist Stephen Hawking. Watching it, Prescod-Weinstein says, she realized Hawking “was being paid to use math all day to solve problems Einstein hadn’t worked out.” For a queer Black Jewish kid from a working-class neighborhood who liked doing math, that seemed like a pretty good deal. “That was really where I got my first taste of the idea that math is kind of like the language of the universe,” Prescod-Weinstein told me. She’s now an assistant professor of physics and astronomy at the University of New Hampshire, where she studies dark matter and particle physics. She’s also on the core faculty of the university’s Women’s Studies department — a seemingly unusual combination that hints at the multifaceted approach she brings to her work. In 2021, Prescod-Weinstein published The Disordered Cosmos: A Journey into Dark Matter, Spacetime, & Dreams Deferred, a wide-ranging book that is both a scientific explainer and an argument that unjust power structures shape the world of physics. She tells stories of subatomic particles like baryons, which are the building blocks of atoms; she critiques a trend she’s seen, in which writers compare the mystery and invisibility of dark matter to the lived experiences of Black people. In a chapter called “Rape Is Part of This Scientific Story” — a chapter that grew unexpectedly out of her writing on the dark universe, and that she debated including in the book — she writes about how her own experience of sexual assault shaped her understanding of injustices in her field. - More -   SC can’t confirm if Azam broke the law over share ownership Posted by: superadmin - 01-18-2022, 03:31 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) says it cannot “conclusively establish” if Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Azam Baki broke the law over his ownership of shares. “The SC has concluded its inquiry and based on the evidence gathered, the SC is not able to conclusively establish that a breach under section 25 (4) of the Securities Industry (Central Depositories) Act 1991 (Sicda).” - More -   Who does Azam think he is: Pakatan PSC members call for meet to proceed Posted by: superadmin - 01-18-2022, 02:39 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – Pakatan Harapan (PH) members of the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) on Agencies have pressed their chairman to carry on with tomorrow’s proceedings with or without Tan Sri Azam Baki’s attendance. Kota Melaka MP Khoo Poay Tiong said it is pertinent that the meeting be held even without the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief, to establish the terms of references pertaining to its probe into Azam’s share ownership. Khoo said this would include finalising details on who else would be summoned by the PSC under the Prime Minister’s Department, with Azam’s brother Datuk Nasir Baki among the names being proposed. The DAP lawmaker added that under the Standing Orders, the PSC has the power to call in any person to obtain information related to its investigations. His remark follows Azam’s reasons not to attend tomorrow’s proceedings, which prompted the committee chairman and Kuala Krai MP Abdul Latiff Abdul Rahman to postpone the meeting. “Who is Azam Baki to say he doesn’t want to come? Can Azam override Parliament now? Why is it that when Azam issued a letter (to Latiff stating his reasons not to attend), we had to postpone our meeting? - More -   Did you report demands to interfere with court cases, Gobind asks Muhyiddin Posted by: superadmin - 01-18-2022, 02:35 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: DAP’s Gobind Singh Deo has questioned if former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin had lodged a report over alleged demands to interfere with the judiciary while he was in office. “Did Muhyiddin Yassin lodge a report with the police or MACC over allegations he made that certain quarters had demanded that he interfere in court matters to free several individuals who were being prosecuted for certain criminal offences when he was prime minister?” Gobind asked in a Facebook post. - More -   Azam cannot override Parliament, say PSC members Posted by: superadmin - 01-18-2022, 02:29 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Four members of a parliamentary select committee (PSC) that was to grill Azam Baki tomorrow say the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief cannot override Parliament and must show up when summoned by the PSC. At a press conference, Kota Melaka MP Khoo Poay Tiong also urged the chairman of the PSC on Agencies under the Prime Minister’s Department, Abdul Latiff Rahman of PAS, to review his decision to cancel the meeting tomorrow. He said the meeting should go ahead even if Azam did not show up as there were other matters the PSC needed to discuss, including who else to summon for questioning. “Who is Azam Baki? Can he override Parliament? We should insist that he comes for the hearing first. If he refuses, then we can take action. We should proceed with our meeting. “The reasons given by Azam (that the hearing cannot be held) were just excuses. If we summon him, he should come for the meeting and give his views. Come first. - More -   Azam wrong about parliamentary panel’s powers, say lawyers Posted by: superadmin - 01-18-2022, 11:36 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Three lawyers have dismissed arguments by top graft-buster Azam Baki against a hearing by a parliamentary committee into his shareholdings, saying he was wrong in his contentions. Haniff Khatri Abdulla said the committee would be acting within its powers to investigate the allegations and had the right to recommend the next course of action to the government. He said parliamentary committees have the power to subpoena Azam or his legal team to attend the meeting, and it should go ahead as scheduled on Wednesday with members discussing the terms of reference of the meeting if Azam does not attend. Azam, who is head of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, had sought a deferment of the meeting. Parliament secretary Nizam Mydin Bacha Mydin said yesterday the meeting had been postponed pending a reference to Parliament’s legal adviser. - More -   Civil society, youth wings to stage street protest against Azam on Saturday Posted by: superadmin - 01-18-2022, 11:31 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Civil society organisations and political youth wings will take to the streets in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday to protest against the conduct of Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Azam Baki and call for his arrest. The Tangkap Azam Baki Committee, a loose coalition of 25 groups, will gather outside Sogo at 11am to demand that he is arrested immediately, that legal action be taken against him, and that the MACC be placed under parliament’s purview. “If you are not with us on the day at the time, fly the black flag and use the hashtags #TangkapAzamBaki and #RombakSPRM on all your social media posts,” the committee said in a statement today. - More - Pages (865): « Previous 1 … 442 443 444 445 446 … 865 Next » Jump to page:
