Don’t make media your scapegoat, Abu Zahar told Posted by: superadmin - 01-13-2022, 03:04 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Anti-Corruption Advisory Board (ACAB) chairman Abu Zahar Ujang has come under fire for trying to pin the blame on the media for the furore that followed his statements on top graft buster Azam Baki’s shareholding. Klang MP Charles Santiago said the issue had nothing to do with misreporting. “The six (ACAB) members are saying very clearly that they don’t agree with him,” Santiago told FMT. “His refusal to take questions indicates that he may be trying to hide something, otherwise, he’d be quite open with his statements. - More -   Inflation rises 7% over the past year, highest since 1982 Posted by: superadmin - 01-13-2022, 11:49 AM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies The consumer price index, an inflation gauge that measures costs across dozens of items, rose 7% in December from a year earlier, the fastest pace since June 1982.

Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Abdullah said Malaysia has yet to decide on recognising the Taliban and is taking a cautious approach to the matter. “For the time being, there are no indications we will recognise the Taliban government and we don’t want to make any hasty decisions,” he said during a press conference after delivering the Malaysian Foreign Ministry’s new year’s message here yesterday. On humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan, Saifuddin noted that Malaysia had already pledged US$100,000 to the United Nations for the purpose. - More -   Lembah Pantai MP’s micro-library programme to empower reading among B40 kids Posted by: superadmin - 01-13-2022, 11:04 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – Among the countless precious items that were lost in the recent devastating floods were tens of thousands of books.

He was speaking during a ceremony to receive books donated by the Vinod Sekhar Foundation at his office in Lembah Pantai here today. - More -   PM decides if Azam remains MACC chief, says lawyer Posted by: superadmin - 01-13-2022, 10:52 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: It is the prime minister who decides whether under-siege Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Azam Baki remains in that office, a lawyer said. Muhammad Rafique Rashid Ali said Section 5 (1) of the MACC Act states that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong shall, on the advice of the prime minister, appoint a chief commissioner of the anti-graft agency. “As a constitutional monarch, the King must, on the advice of the prime minister, appoint or remove the MACC chief from that office,” he told FMT. Rafique said this in response to a statement, reported by Sinar Harian yesterday, quoting Azam as saying that only the King could ask him to resign. - More -   Gravitas Plus: How Big Pharma pushes dangerous drugs and reaps profits Posted by: superadmin - 01-12-2022, 08:54 PM - Forum: Health News - No Replies   Cops needn’t probe PKR protests against Azam Baki: Hanipa Posted by: superadmin - 01-12-2022, 02:40 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – Sepang MP Mohamed Hanipa Maidin has questioned the police’s criminalisation of PKR Youth leaders over their recent protests calling for the resignation of Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki. The Amanah lawmaker stressed that the Malaysian youth have a right to hold peaceful assemblies and to voice out their opinions. “With due respect, in my view, there is no need at all for the police to initiate any criminal investigation. “Let the Malaysian youth be given their rights to exercise their fundamental rights duly enshrined in the federal constitution, i.e to assemble peacefully and to freely speak their minds without any form of intimidation whatsoever,” he said in a statement today. Additionally, he said that police have other more important issues and crimes to attend to, instead of focusing on trivial matters such as this. He said that in this day and age, the police should not be criminalising those trying to exercise their fundamental rights. “We are now in 2022. It is high time for the police to move on. - More -   Top Republicans stand up for Rounds after Trump's attack: He 'told the truth' Posted by: superadmin - 01-12-2022, 11:56 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies (CNN)Senior Republicans are closing ranks behind Sen. Mike Rounds after he endured a scathing attack from former President Donald Trump for acknowledging the reality that President Joe Biden won the 2020 election. "I think Sen. Rounds told the truth about what happened in the 2020 election," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told CNN on Tuesday. "And I agree with him." The back-and-forth is the latest sign that many Republicans -- particularly in the Senate -- are eager to move past the former President's obsession with the 2020 elections and instead focus on more fertile ground: The Biden agenda and their efforts to take back both houses of Congress in 2022. Yet, Trump continues to hover over the party given his outsize influence with the base, his close hold over House Republicans and his ability to generate attention over his outright falsehoods and conspiracies over the outcome of the 2020 election. That has prompted concerns among senior Republicans that his claims over the election could depress GOP voter turnout in the fall, something that a number of senators blame for costing them the two Georgia Senate seats -- and the majority -- last January. The latest blowup came over the weekend after Rounds said that any voting "irregularities" in 2020 wouldn't have changed the outcome of the race. "The election was fair, as fair as we have seen. We simply did not win the election, as Republicans, for the presidency," Rounds told ABC News. That fact-based comment prompted a broadside from the former President, who called Rounds a "jerk" and "ineffective" and vowed "never" to endorse Rounds for reelection, though he's not facing voters again until 2026. "Is he crazy or just stupid?" Trump said in a statement. - More -   Not fair to blame vernacular schools for being divisive: Chandra Muzaffar Posted by: superadmin - 01-12-2022, 11:40 AM - Forum: Stop Racism and Religious Bigotry - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – Blaming vernacular schools for inculcating divisive politics, racism, and discrimination is reductive and unfair, said International Movement for a Just World president Chandra Muzaffar. Instead, he said, a comprehensive study on the matter should be conducted as more students of different ethnicities and teachers of different backgrounds attend vernacular schools these days. “This is something people have talked about for a long time – that our school system is divisive, which then negatively impacts national unity. “Personally, it’s something Malaysians must study in depth before concluding if vernacular schools truly divide us. “I know people who attended Chinese or Tamil schools, yet are very accommodative. At the same time, I know people who went to sekolah kebangsaan (national schools) and have had the chance to mix with other communities, but are quite narrow-minded,” he told The Vibes. Before 2021 came to an end, the Kuala Lumpur High Court dismissed a 2019 application challenging the constitutionality of vernacular schools in the country. - More -   Good to have all ‘traitors’ in one party: Fahmi Fadzil takes apparent dig at PBM Posted by: superadmin - 01-12-2022, 11:31 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) is nothing but a congregation of “traitors”, according to PKR communications chief Fahmi Fadzil. The Lembah Pantai MP made a snarky remark of Larry Sng’s new political outfit, saying that the people must avoid voting for the party at all costs come 15th general election seeing that they have hopped from other parties to join PBM. “It is actually good to have all of the “traitors” in one party, you can see all of them in one place now and you know which party to avoid and who not to vote for,” he said sarcastically, when asked if PKR would have political cooperation with PBM. He was speaking to The Vibes at his office after receiving book donations from the Vinod Sekhar Foundation yesterday. - More - Pages (865): « Previous 1 … 448 449 450 451 452 … 865 Next » Jump to page:
