Something BIGGER than a China Spy Balloon is Coming... Posted by: superadmin - 02-09-2023, 09:30 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies   DAP’s Sheikh Umar to PAS: “Don’t insult BN, PH; you’re always in conflicts yourself” Posted by: superadmin - 02-09-2023, 09:28 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies FORMER Johor State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Paloh Sheikh Umar Bagharib Ali has taken a swipe at Kelantan Deputy Menteri Besar and PAS vice president Datuk Nik Mohd Amar Abdullah for insinuating that both Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) will be on ‘collision course’ come the six state level elections in mid-2023. “In my opinion, conflict happens everywhere and conflict will always be there. 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. In a statement, Ramkarpal said improvements have been suggested on the draft bill under the Penal Code 2022 and the Criminal Procedure Code, following engagement sessions with various stakeholders since January. “The unity government is committed to creating laws regarding the offence of stalking. “From the engagement sessions, I have proposed improvements to the draft bill to ensure emphasis is given to this offence holistically, covering all aspects of legislation,” he added. The sessions were held to re-examine the provisions of the two bills and receive stakeholders’ perspectives on the matter. Stakeholders include the Attorney-General’s Chambers, the Prime Minister’s Department’s Legal Affairs Division, the Women’s Aid Organisation, and the Malaysian Bar. - More -   ‘Minister’ signed off on vaccine procurement sans AGC approval: Anwar Posted by: superadmin - 02-08-2023, 05:26 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – It appears that parts of the Covid-19 vaccine procurement were done without prior approval from the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC). 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 -   Ensuring an inclusive new horizon for higher education – Muhamad Nadhir Abdul Nasir Posted by: superadmin - 02-08-2023, 09:50 AM - Forum: Educations - No Replies RECENTLY, Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin put forward eleven focus areas based on the goal of restoring trust in the country’s higher education system. The Higher Education Ministry must rebuild confidence among the general public, especially among marginalised groups such as the disabled community, in the local higher education system. We, the disabled community, must be assured that the ministry shall create a higher education system that is inclusive and responsive to the issues, needs and voices of disabled persons. Disabled persons are also part of the higher learning environment as students and staff in both public and private higher learning institutions. Though having an efficient and excellent higher education sector is admirable, aspects such as accessibility, equity and inclusivity are also crucial to create a humanised, sustainable and quality higher education environment. Thus, the ministry through its eleven focus areas must inclusively and meaningfully engage the people, including disabled students and disabled staff. I eagerly welcome the idea of establishing a National Review Committee. - More -   Post-Umno political revival: where could Khairy land? Posted by: superadmin - 02-07-2023, 10:44 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – “Never let a good crisis go to waste,” said the late British prime minister Winston Churchill as countries globally looked to rebuild following the end of World War II in the 1940s.  In today’s local political context, the famous quote rings particularly true to the ongoing internal crisis in Umno following the purging of several high-profile names, the most prominent being former party youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin. For the largest Malay party in the country, the axing provides the opportunity for internal re-consolidation and rebuilding. For Khairy, it offers him the chance to reassess his political career and plot his next move. The latter is particularly crucial for someone as politically ambitious as the ex-Rembau MP: Khairy has made no secret of his desire to lead the country as prime minister some day, even after his dismissal from Umno. - More - Pages (1150): « Previous 1 … 494 495 496 497 498 … 1150 Next » Jump to page:
