KUALA LUMPUR: Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman has asked fellow MPs to show the same outrage over the auditor-general’s expose on the loss of RM620 million in leakages as they did on the Timah whisky name controversy.
“For the last two weeks, we have been hearing a lot about the Timah issue on a daily basis, especially on the renaming of the whisky,” the independent MP said during the debate on the 2022 Supply Bill in the Dewan Rakyat.
“We have had a Cabinet meeting that involved three ministries on this matter despite this company existing in Malaysia for a long time.
“Will we give the same attention to the issue of the RM620 million loss in leakages? It is hundreds of millions of the people’s money.

PETALING JAYA: Pengerang MP Azalina Othman Said “crossed the line” by initiating an anti-hopping law for Melaka as it is purely the business of the incoming government and its 28 elected assemblymen, a lawyer said.
Muhammmad Rafique Rashid Ali said being trained in law and being a former Dewan Rakyat deputy speaker, she should know the process for amending the constitution and passing laws.
“As federal MP, she has crossed the line by meddling in the affairs of the state government and its legislature, more so when a state election will be held soon,” he said.

| PAS eyes GE15 with Melaka game plan |

PETALING JAYA: Although PAS has announced it will contest under the Perikatan Nasional (PN) banner in the Melaka polls, the Islamist party has no intention of ending its ties with Umno in the Muafakat Nasional coalition, a source in the know said.
Instead, he said, PAS was warming up to Bersatu in PN in a bid to neutralise Umno and have a bargaining chip when discussions on seat allocation for GE15 are held with Umno.
He told FMT that unlike in Kelantan or Terengganu, PAS was not accepted in Melaka and therefore had nothing to lose.
By working with Bersatu, it could hope to be in a better position when negotiating for seats with the more powerful “big brother” Umno during GE15.

SIS: Kelantan Syariah Criminal Code (I) Enactment 2019 contrary to inclusive, progressive and tolerant Islam
![[Image: FW998101_KB08_12012020_TILAWAH__BN202001092448-lpr.jpg]](https://media2.malaymail.com/uploads/articles/2020/2020-01/FW998101_KB08_12012020_TILAWAH__BN202001092448-lpr.jpg)
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 2 — Women’s rights group Sisters in Islam (SIS) has today questioned the newly enforced Kelantan Syariah Criminal Code (I) Enactment 2019, raising concerns over its enforcement which came into effect yesterday.
The group said the law does not reflect an inclusive, progressive and tolerant Islam but merely showcases Islam as a punitive religion.
This, it said, was because very few Muslims have the courage to question, challenge or even discuss matters of religion, even when they doubt teachings that appear unjust and incongruous to changing times and circumstances.
“Furthermore, we also find these developments concerning and dangerous as they violate fundamental principles of democracy by suppressing critical thought and expression through arbitrary provisions and punishing those who do not toe the line,” the group said in a statement here.
This as Kelantan Mentri Besar Datuk Ahmad Yakob was quoted as saying that the enforcement of the enactment was aimed at educating and bringing offenders back to the right path of Islam, not merely punishing them.
“What does restorative and retributive actually mean in this context?

Biden to announce tougher regulations on methane emissions from oil and gas production - The EPA will propose rules to plug methane gas leaks at hundreds of thousands of oil and gas wells in the U.S.
- The agency’s measures will strengthen current regulations on new oil and gas wells and impose new requirements for existing wells that previously escaped methane regulations.
- President Joe Biden will formally announce the proposals during the second day of the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland, according to senior Biden administration officials.
The Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday will propose rules to plug methane gas leaks at hundreds of thousands of oil and gas wells in the U.S., marking its most aggressive action yet to curb climate-warming greenhouse gas emissions.
The agency’s measures will strengthen regulations on new oil and gas wells and impose new requirements for existing wells that previously escaped methane regulations. President Joe Biden will formally announce the proposals during the second day of the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland, according to senior administration officials.
The methane initiatives will aid the president’s commitment to cut domestic emissions in half by 2030 and reach net-zero emissions by mid-century. The proposals will also push forward the U.S. and European Union’s Global Methane Pledge, a pact to cut methane emissions by 30% by the end of the decade.

KUALA LUMPUR – Putrajaya paid RM499.18 million to a concession company labelled 107423-H for maintenance services despite the company not presenting a full key performance indicator (KPI) report as required in a contract agreement for the implementation of the Government Integrated Radio Network (GIRN).
According to the auditor-general’s (AG) 2020 report, the agreement between the government and concessionaire stated that payments for maintenance would be made after certain KPIs had been achieved and its monthly KPI reports were presented to the relevant government agencies.
However, following an audit on the KPI reports by the concessionaire for January 2019 to October 2020, two out of five parameters – handover between cells and data throughput – were listed as non-available.
“Nevertheless, audit checks regarding payment instructions revealed full payments were made to the concessionaire for January 2019 to October 2020 amounting to RM499.18 million.
“Of that, RM476.41 million comprise claims from February 2019 to October 2020 made under an agreement titled MSF-3. The agreement was yet to be signed,” the AG’s report read.

| China eases power crisis by boosting coal production |

BEIJING – China said it has increased daily coal production by over one million tonnes, easing its energy shortage as world leaders gather in Britain for climate talks billed as one of the last chances to avert catastrophic global warming.
The world's biggest coal importer has battled widespread power cuts in recent months that have disrupted supply chains, due to strict emissions targets and record prices for the fossil fuel.
But the crisis is now winding down thanks to a boost in domestic coal output, according to a statement from China's top economic planning body late Sunday.
The National Development and Reform Commission said average daily coal production has risen to above 11.5 million tonnes since the middle of October, up by 1.1 million tonnes compared with the end of September.
The production surge comes as world leaders – but not Chinese president Xi Jinping – convene in Glasgow for COP26 talks to secure more ambitious global greenhouse gas emissions.

PETALING JAYA: Saying the end does not justify the means, the DAP rejected any move to allow the four Melaka assemblymen involved in toppling the state government from being nominated as candidates under Pakatan Harapan (PH) in the Melaka state election.
DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said they had doubts over the commitment of the four assemblymen towards genuine political reform and that the party was unhappy with PH’s move to consider two of the four for nomination as candidates.
However, he hinted that ultimately coalition unity would triumph.
“At a meeting last night, the DAP central executive committee (CEC) unanimously resolved to reject all four Melaka assemblymen, who had earlier withdrawn support for then Melaka chief minister Sulaiman Md Ali, to be nominated as PH candidates for the coming state election.

The US should stop all scapegoating and blame-shifting moves and focus instead on domestic efforts and global cooperation in fighting COVID-19, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Sunday in response to the so-called declassified assessment on COVID-19 origins released by the US intelligence agency.
The US should stop political manipulation and create conducive conditions for scientists all over the world to conduct origins-tracing cooperation. It should stop attacking and smearing China and respond to the legitimate concerns of the international community. It should receive World Health Organization experts and open up its biological labs at Fort Detrick and biological experiment bases for investigation, read the remarks made by Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin on Sunday.
Political manipulation and intelligence-led origins-tracing in disregard of international justice will only further undermine the general atmosphere for science-based global cooperation in origins-tracing, hamper international cooperation in combating COVID-19, and cost more lives, Wang stressed.
