Luna the sun bear cub’s birth a pleasant surprise Posted by: superadmin - 10-19-2021, 06:31 PM - Forum: Environment Protection News - No Replies SANDAKAN – On May 20 this year, the world’s only conservation centre for sun bears, the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre (BSBCC) in Sepilok, here, was shocked over a pleasant surprise.  One of its female captive bears, Bintang, had given birth to a female infant bear. Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre (BSBCC) founder Dr Wong Siew Te said the birth was completely unexpected. But it was bound to happen as the rescued bears at the centres have grown older. They are also kept mixed at a compound that is surrounded by the forest. It was the first sun bear’s birth in captivity at the centre in the last 10 years. The cub, later named "Luna" by supporters of BSBCC on Facebook, was at first taken care of by Bintang.  - More -   Don’t take Zahid’s word on Muafakat as law: Idris Posted by: superadmin - 10-19-2021, 06:25 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – PAS is still awaiting the Umno Supreme Council’s decision on their political cooperation under Muafakat Nasional (MN), said PAS vice-president Idris Ahmad.   He insisted that Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s desire for his party to contest solo in the Melaka election should not be accepted as an official decision. “As of now, the Umno Supreme Council has not said such a thing. Therefore, we will only depend on the official decision. Don’t divide us,” he said today when met by press members after attending a Maulidur Rasul celebration in the capital today. The minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) said his party’s main focus now is to ensure that Pakatan Harapan does not return to power in the state.  The MN political alliance between Umno and PAS was formed in September 2019. Last Tuesday, Zahid raised questions over the Umno-PAS cooperation under MN as the Melaka election looms.  - More -   Why didn’t you object to Najib’s passport application, AGC asked Posted by: superadmin - 10-19-2021, 06:09 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The Center to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4) has urged the attorney-general’s chambers (AGC) and the prosecution team to explain why there was no objection to Najib Razak’s application for temporary custody of his passport. In a statement, C4 said it was appalled that the former prime minister has been allowed to travel abroad, especially since he had already been convicted for corruption and criminal breach of trust. It was reported yesterday that the Court of Appeal had allowed the temporary release of Najib’s impounded passport to enable him to visit his daughter Nooryana Najwa, who is due to give birth in Singapore. A three-member bench chaired by Kamaludin Md Said unanimously agreed to allow the application after hearing submissions from Najib’s lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah. Deputy public prosecutor Mohd Fairuz Johari did not raise any objection. “There are real reasons for concern about flight risk, as he (Najib) is appealing (against) his conviction and continues to face more daunting charges in court, all related to 1MDB and its subsidiaries. He is also appealing against the RM1.69 billion in fines to be paid to the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN). “In addition, the 1MDB scandal was again named in the Pandora Papers, and linked to Russian and Indian frauds, signalling no end to this gargantuan financial heist, in which he is a central figure,” it said. - More -   Israel said to approve $1.5 billion budget for potential strike on Iran Posted by: superadmin - 10-19-2021, 01:59 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Israel has approved a budget of some 5 billion shekels ($1.5 billion) to be used to prepare the military for a potential strike against Iran’s nuclear program, Channel 12 reported Monday.
