How despicable for teacher to use religion as bait to football greatness Posted by: superadmin - 02-09-2023, 07:04 PM - Forum: Stop Racism and Religious Bigotry - No Replies A TEACHER has got what he deserved for having lured a Form Three school pupil in Kuala Lumpur to embrace Islam after claiming that doing so would boost his chances of becoming a national footballer. Police have begun investigations into a report lodged against a teacher by the boy’s parents. On Feb 7 at 10.21am, the complainant, a Malaysian mother, reported the matter to the police, according to Cheras police chief Assistant Commissioner Zam Halim Jamaluddin. The boy’s mother who identified herself as “Vasan” earlier claimed that the class teacher also told her 15-year-old son that “only Muslims are allowed to enter stadiums in Malaysia”. The incident surfaced on Feb 3 when her son showed her the messages in a WhatsApp group created for the class by the teacher. “When I looked through the messages, I noticed that the teacher told my son that if he wanted to join the national team, he had to be a Muslim. He then encouraged my son to convert and even asked the class to suggest Muslim names for him,” Malaysiakini cited her as telling a media conference in Petaling Jaya yesterday (Feb 8). - More -   This war is not popular among the US public Posted by: superadmin - 02-09-2023, 01:46 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies   Something BIGGER than a China Spy Balloon is Coming...

PAS itself has never shied away from conflict,” the DAP member pointed out in a statement. “Nik Amar needs a mirror. Be thoughtful. Don’t let it be like ‘spitting in the sky, falling on your own face’ (referring to the Malay proverb meludah ke langit, jatuh ke muka sendiri).” As testament, Sheikh Umar said PAS has often been in a state of conflict since the Islamist party joined Semangat 46, Gerakan Rakyat (GERAK), Barisan Alternatif and even Pakatan Rakyat. “In its recent history with other coalition parties, PAS has been unable to avoid conflict, especially after the absence of the late Tuan Guru Nik Aziz (Nik Mat),” observed Sheikh Umar. - More -   Shift perspective on brain drain as it can benefit country: Fadillah Posted by: superadmin - 02-09-2023, 09:25 AM - Forum: Local News - Replies (1) JAKARTA – The brain drain phenomenon in Malaysia must be looked at from a different angle because the government can still benefit by utilising the expertise of Malaysians working overseas, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof. Fadillah, who is also agriculture and commodities ministry said among factors influencing brain drain is the research field and the complete facilities and support services in places like Silicon Valley, United States – which can also enhance their expertise and potential. “In Malaysia, many have moved to other countries, especially those in science and technology. (This is) due to the lack of ‘the whole value chain’ that can provide a conducive environment for them. “Brain drain needs to be looked at from a different angle, like how citizens working abroad can contribute to the country. To me, if there is a declaration for the purpose, it will be good,” he said after a dinner with the Malaysian diaspora in Indonesia here tonight, in conjunction with his three-day working visit to Indonesia starting today. - More -   Govt to table improved anti-stalking bill in Dewan: Ramkarpal Posted by: superadmin - 02-09-2023, 07:13 AM - Forum: Politics - Replies (2) KUALA LUMPUR – A refined anti-stalking bill is set to be tabled at the upcoming parliamentary session at Dewan Rakyat, said Deputy Law and Institutional Reform Minister Ramkarpal Singh.

This was revealed by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who said today that the purchases were signed off by a “minister” not in accordance with government procedure. He told a press conference that Health Minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa will table a white paper on the dubious procurement process in the coming Parliament session this month.   “She will give the details,” Anwar said after chairing a cabinet meeting at the Prime Minister’s Office in Putrajaya today. “Suffice it for me to say that we decided on the presentation of the white paper primarily because of the findings by the (health) ministry and law minister on irregularities and transactions or approvals given without following due process. - More -   “PN can capture Selangor, N Sembilan if KJ contests under its ticket in state polls” Posted by: superadmin - 02-08-2023, 02:10 PM - Forum: Politics - Replies (1) PERIKATAN Nasional (PN) and Bersatu stand a good chance of capturing Selangor and Negri Sembilan if former UMNO man Khairy Jamaluddin contests in the forthcoming state polls under the party’s ticket, said Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal. The Bersatu Youth chief, in an interview with Utusan Malaysia, said Khairy’s presence can create a new wave among young voters especially those who remain on the fence to give their votes to PN and thus, wrest both states from Pakatan Harapan (PH). The Machang MP said they were willing to give way to Khairy in any Selangor or Negri Sembilan state seat if the sacked UMNO leader is interested in joining Bersatu. - More -   China rushes to aid Turkey, Syria with rapid assistance Posted by: superadmin - 02-08-2023, 10:59 AM - Forum: International News - No Replies China on Tuesday announced its first batch of 40 million yuan ($5.9 million) of emergency assistance to Turkey, and that it would dispatch rescue teams to help save lives and provide assistance to Syria.  As of press time, the death toll has topped 5,000 and many others remained trapped under debris after the initial 7.8-magnitude earthquake, a 7.5-magnitude tremor and a string of powerful aftershocks jolted parts of Turkey and Syria on Monday and Tuesday. The death toll is likely to increase as thousands of buildings were toppled and cold and snowy weather may shorten the time needed to save lives, media reported.  World leaders have expressed concerns over the deadly earthquakes. "My heart goes out to the people of Turkey and Syria in this hour of tragedy," said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in a statement. "The United Nations is fully committed to supporting the response. Our teams are on the ground assessing the needs and providing assistance." - More -   Unity govt to form three committees to ensure interparty cohesion: Anwar Posted by: superadmin - 02-08-2023, 09:53 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the unity government will form three committees to ensure cohesion over policies and other cooperative matters between all parties in the government. Following the secretariat meeting at Umno’s headquarters in Menara Dato Onn this evening, Anwar said the three committees set to be formed focused on strategy, elections, as well as government and political agenda monitoring. “The terms of the committee formation are to ensure the policies are mutually agreed upon,” he told a press conference. “Besides the state ministers who have certain tasks and discussions every week, this council will give their views on the main policies of the unity government. “Secondly, (they will) ensure that all views are taken into consideration when forming policies.” Anwar explained the strategy committee’s tasks include addressing communication issues following “extremely slanderous statements” faced by the unity government. - More - Pages (1149): « Previous 1 … 493 494 495 496 497 … 1149 Next » Jump to page:
