Abang Jo pays Anwar a visit Posted by: superadmin - 11-26-2022, 05:36 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has expressed confidence in having greater ties between the federal government and the Sarawak state government following a visit from Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) chairman Abang Johari Openg at his house this morning. Anwar praised GPS as a “pillar” in the unity government he leads together with Pakatan Harapan, Barisan Nasional and Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), with support from MPs from Muda, Warisan and Parti Bangsa Malaysia. “The relationship between the federal government and Sarawak will certainly strengthen plans to build a better Malaysia,” he said in a Facebook post. GPS and GRS had initially backed Perikatan Nasional chairman Muhyiddin Yassin as prime minister following the inconclusive results of last Saturday’s general election, in which no coalition or party won a simple majority to form the government. The two Borneo coalitions eventually said they would follow the King’s wish for a unity government.

In a Twitter post making the rounds, a meeting between BN and PAS members purportedly took place at the Tropicana Golf Resort from 10.30am to noon yesterday. The post lists Ismail, who is Umno vice-president, former Umno secretary-general Annuar Musa, PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan, Wee and Annuar’s press secretary Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz as among those who attended the meeting. Wee said he was disappointed that people were spreading rumours and implying that he was involved in political manoeuvres even though the political impasse following last Saturday’s general election had been resolved. - More -   The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly – Ep 21: unity and making concessions Posted by: superadmin - 11-26-2022, 11:23 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PAKATAN Harapan (PH) may have won the race to Putrajaya but it is one that left it battered, bruised and facing a reality check. The country is split between PH’s style of inclusive multiracial politics with that of Perikatan Nasional’s more mono-ethnic administration (despite the latter comprising non-Malay representation in Gerakan). Former PH Youth chief Howard Lee feels that it is now time to cool temperatures and heed the king’s wish for a unity government. - More -   Anwar draws kudos for adept foreign policy stance Posted by: superadmin - 11-26-2022, 11:01 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim “touched all the right bases” in outlining Malaysia’s foreign policy direction at his maiden press conference, says an analyst at the Institute of Strategic and International Studies. It was noteworthy that Anwar spoke on the importance of China, an “important neighbour” with whom Malaysia had to strengthen relations, said Thomas Benjamin Daniel. - More -   15 Biggest Retailers In America Closing Down Stores Right Now Posted by: superadmin - 11-26-2022, 10:47 AM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies   Perikatan rode anti-BN sentiment to capture conservative support in GE15, say analyst Posted by: superadmin - 11-26-2022, 10:32 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 26 — Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) unexpectedly strong performance in the 15th general election (GE15) was due to its ability to galvanise conservative voters who rejected Barisan Nasional (BN), said analysts and political observers. Shazwan Mustafa Kamal, an associate director for Vriens & Partners, a government affairs and political risk consultancy, said the anti-corruption messages against BN and the unpopularity of its leader Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi featured in both PN and Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) campaign. - More -   FocusM view: No salary pledge will remain a gimmick if end-of-day delivery sucks Posted by: superadmin - 11-26-2022, 10:23 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies IT does not matter if the unity government led by Malaysia’s 10th Prime Minister (PM) Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim wishes to have two, three or even more Deputies PM (DPM) but do ensure that those DPM wannabes first agreed to be paid modest salaries for a start. As it is inevitable for the Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman to have a bloated Cabinet given the need to lure as many politicians as possible to his side, Anwar can perhaps resort to an ‘intense’ salary adjustment scheme by slashing unjustified remuneration expenses (especially allowances or sorts) currently borne by the also bloated administration of his predecessor. On paper at least, this shouldn’t be a cumbersome task for Anwar considering that majority of his potential DPMs and ministers are not eyeing monetary reward as much as lusting for power and position. The next measure that Anwar needs to embark upon is perhaps more challenging given that the unprecedented unity government concept has never been tested in Malaysia’s 65-year history (save to say it has been a one-party rule system all the way by Barisan Nasional except for PH’s short-lived 22 months administration). Anwar can expect a big headache to pick his so-called ‘henchmen’ whereby he has to juggle between party quotas to reflect his unity government and selecting the most qualified men and women for the job. This is not that talent is lacking among the MPs by his side but their political affiliation makes the whole process complicated. - More -   China biz in Malaysia outlines 4 concerns to Anwar’s unity gov’t Posted by: superadmin - 11-26-2022, 10:02 AM - Forum: Business. Economy and Investment - No Replies THE Malaysia-China Chamber of Commerce (MCCC) has expressed hope that the new Cabinet members in the unity government of Malaysia’s 10th Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim boasts a multi-racial and merit-based lime-up that is capable of taking care of the rights and interests of all ethnic groups and to facilitate investment. MCCC further stressed the need for the new Government to be pragmatic and forward looking, able to work on the economy without delay and to swiftly seek pragmatic measures to relieve people’s hardship caused by high inflation as well as other current challenges faced by the country. “MCCC believes that Malaysia as a diversified country, requires a comprehensive and inclusive government to bring political stability, ethnics and religious harmony, and prosperous economic development,” the chamber pointed out in its congratulatory message to Anwar. “MCCC hopes that under the leadership of the new PM, all parties will work together to lead Malaysia towards a brighter future, to focus on the well beings of the people, and to bring drive to the economy.” - More -   Balancing act: can Anwar pick a cabinet that appeases all quarters? Posted by: superadmin - 11-26-2022, 09:50 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – After being sworn in as the country’s 10th prime minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s first major challenge looms before him as expectations mount on the nature and composition of his cabinet. The Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman will have to juggle between the demands of the components in the unity government for candidates of their choice to be picked, and the expectations of the public and civil society groups that only clean individuals of calibre and competence be appointed. Already, speculation has been rife that Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is seeking a senior ministerial position, supposedly as part of a larger strategy to fortify his position in Umno ahead of an impending internal election latest by May next year. - More -   In Umno, whispers of clearing out Bersatu’s friends Posted by: superadmin - 11-26-2022, 09:34 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Umno members have turned their attention inward towards a party clean-up after having seen the party navigate through an impasse between Perikatan Nasional (PN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) over who would form a government after the general election (GE15). “There’s a need for us to clean house. There are still some among us who are pro-Bersatu,” said a high-ranking Umno leader. Bersatu, which mainly comprises former Umno members, is the dominant party in PN with Muhyiddin Yassin as its president. Earlier this week, Muhyiddin said he had statutory declarations (SDs) from 10 Barisan Nasional (BN) MPs backing him to become prime minister. “All 10 retracted their SDs,” said the Umno leader, “but it’s too late, they’ve shown their hand. We know they are not loyal to the party.” - More - Pages (1150): « Previous 1 … 542 543 544 545 546 … 1150 Next » Jump to page:
