PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan (PH) would be deluded to think the wave of support Perikatan Nasional (PN) received in last November’s general election was only a fleeting trend, according to two analysts.
Azmil Tayeb of Universiti Sains Malaysia said an “overwhelming number” of Malay voters saw PN as a credible alternative to Umno and PH now that the two are working together.
Awang Azman Pawi of Universiti Malaya said the surge in support for PN in GE15 could not be seen as fleeting and the coalition would be seeking to ride on this wave even in the PH strongholds of Selangor and Penang.

PETALING JAYA: Two Umno division leaders have called for the presidency and deputy presidency to be contested, with one arguing it will allow the top two to gauge their support among the grassroots.
Bandar Tun Razak chief Rizalman Mokhtar said the grassroots should be allowed to determine who was qualified to lead the party.
“To prevent a contest for the top posts is to deny the grassroots from choosing a leader they feel can help restore Umno’s image,” Rizalman said in a statement.

Labeling TikTok 'digital fentanyl' absurd, showing dysfunction of the US' politics |

According to a CNN report, the incoming chairman of the new House Select Committee on China GOP Rep Mike Gallagher in a media interview labeled TikTok as "digital fentanyl" China's government is providing to Americans.
Even though it has already been politically correct to be anti-China in Washington, labeling a popular short video app "digital fentanyl" is both absurd and hypocritical as the US is decriminalizing marijuana.
The newly established House Select Committee on China is considered a new Cold War tool against China. Diao Daming, an expert on US studies and associate professor at the Renmin University of China in Beijing, told the Global Times that there are two motivations behind this select committee - one is to suppress China and the other is partisan struggles.
"It wants to compete with the White House which is tougher on China. If it creates the impression that the Biden administration is weaker on China, it could help the Republicans in future elections," said Diao.

Alcohol ban in Langkawi will hinder tourists: tourism top guns |

GEORGE TOWN – The tourism industry has been rattled by Kedah’s PAS-led state government for suggesting that the sale of alcohol would be controlled on the resort island of Langkawi, following its move to shut down gaming outlets in the state.
Its leaders have warned that any move to ban liquor will deter tourists from the island, which is a major contributor to Kedah’s economy.
The Kedah chapter of the Malaysian Association of Hotels (MAH) is hoping for clarification over the remarks linked to Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor.
The chapter hopes to discuss the matter with the state to ensure a win-win status can emerge in the new year for the tourism industry.
“Like it or not, alcohol is part of the attraction that pulls international tourists to Langkawi. It is a concept of a duty-free island in the first place. Langkawi should be leveraging off it rather than hampering it,” said chapter chairman Eugene Dass.
