PETALING JAYA: If DAP drops Charles Santiago from its list of election candidates, it may be due to his frankness, according to party veteran Ronnie Liu.
Liu said Santiago’s outspokenness had put him in the bad books of certain party leaders although it was one of the personal traits that had endeared him to the public.
Liu, who is himself known to have been critical of DAP and its leaders, said those whose views differed from that of the party’s top leaders were “doomed”, especially if these leaders had a say in the selection of candidates.
“’Yes men’ always get their surat watikah and Santiago is not a ‘yes man’,” he told FMT.
Surat watikah are the appointment letters that political parties issue to candidates before an election.

KUALA LUMPUR – Liz Truss today announced her resignation as the United Kingdom’s prime minister.
Her resignation comes after a whirlwind 45 days in office, which saw the country’s markets crash, the loss of two key ministers, and the loss of confidence from almost all Conservative Party MPs.
Meanwhile, the opposition Labour Party and Liberal Democrats have called for an immediate general election, reports the Guardian. – The Vibes, October 20, 2022

| Can A Monitor Work Without A CPU |

A monitor cannot work without a CPU. The CPU is responsible for sending the signal to the monitor.
The monitor takes the signal and displays it. The monitor will not display anything if the CPU is not sending a signal.
A monitor is a type of computer peripheral that displays images generated by the video card.
A CPU is not necessary for a monitor to work because the video card is responsible for generating the images. The video signals are sent from the video card to the monitor through a cable. Most monitors these days are designed to work with a CPU and will not work without one.

| Is the benefit of China’s zero-Covid policy worth the cost? |

Before Covid-19 vaccines were developed and distributed, China’s strict approach to controlling the virus resulted in fewer deaths and a much lower death rate per million people than in many other countries.
But while these successes were impressive in late 2020 and early 2021, effective vaccines and treatments have become readily available since then, leading the World Health Organization to declare that the end of the pandemic is in sight.
Yet China has maintained its strict zero-Covid regime. While this containment strategy has saved many lives, it has also slowed the country’s economy, exacerbated supply-chain disruptions, and kept millions under lockdown for months. Does the zero-Covid policy pass a cost-benefit test in 2022?
China’s government and many investment banks had predicted that its economy would grow by roughly 5.5% in 2022, on the assumption that Covid-19 restrictions would be lifted.
Instead, China’s economy is now expected to grow closer to 3.3% this year. By reducing the growth rate by 2.2 percentage points, the zero-Covid policy will likely cost China US$384 billion in lost GDP.
