DAP closes door on cooperation with Bersatu, PAS |

PETALING JAYA: DAP has closed the door on cooperation with Bersatu and PAS, with its chairman, Lim Guan Eng, stating he does not trust the two parties’ leaders.
Lim also said he did not want to meet Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin to discuss any form of cooperation as the former prime minister was one of the masterminds behind the Sheraton Move, which led to Pakatan Harapan losing federal power 22 months after winning the 14th general election.
“I won’t agree if he wants to meet. We were stabbed in the back, and we shouldn’t be fooled again,” Lim told Utusan Malaysia.
“It’s all right if we chat in Parliament, but to discuss working together, I don’t agree. I won’t accept it, the door is closed.”
Lim also claimed that Muhyiddin, when he was home minister during the PH government, “sabotaged” DAP by claiming its members were linked to the defunct Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), which Muhyiddin listed as a terrorist organisation.
DAP assemblymen P Gunasekaran and G Saminathan and 10 others were charged in October 2019 over alleged links to the Sri Lankan militant group. However, in February 2020, then-attorney-general Tommy Thomas exercised his powers as public prosecutor to discontinue proceedings against the 12.
“It was our own people or the deep state which betrayed us. Why did Muhyiddin say our people were linked to LTTE when the group didn’t even exist then?” said Lim.
The Bagan MP also said DAP does not trust PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang because he is always evasive and does not keep his word.

Love it or loathe it, Umno is in charge |

Some Malaysians rejoiced, while others were worried when Umno’s hegemony of Malaysian politics was broken at the 2018 general election. The DAP in particular had been calling for this for decades, saying the complete control Umno had in the government had led to too much abuse of power.
Little did people realise that Umno’s stranglehold on all aspects of Malaysian life had been broken by a group of former Umno leaders, namely Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Anwar Ibrahim and Muhyiddin Yassin among others.
It was indeed aided by DAP but the masterminds were all former Umno leaders.

M'sian shuttler Myisha to spur herself to greater heights with Dutch victory |

KUALA LUMPUR − National women’s singles player Myisha Mohd Khairul has described her first international title win in the 2022 Dutch International Badminton Series as a starting point for her to achieve much more in the badminton arena.
Therefore, world 328th-ranked Myisha hopes to retain the momentum of her win to overcome challenges in upcoming championships.
“I feel very grateful and actually, I didn’t expect to emerge as champion,” she said in a video shared with the media today.
The 19-year-old from Johor Bahru beat her compatriot Siti Nurshuhaini Azman 21-19, 18-21, 21-19 in the final at Wateringen for the crown.
Myisha admitted that she encountered several tough moments during the final against Nurshuhaini, saying that the match was tough as both players knew each other’s game and had played against each other repeatedly during their training together.
Meanwhile, Nurshuhaini said unforced errors made in a rush to gain quick points had eventually cost her the match.
“Coach wants me to improve − in terms of my game as well as in my physicality. Coach also talked about fighting back for the next tournament,” she said.
The world number 314 was still grateful to have a podium finish and was determined to do better in future championships. – Bernama, April 17, 2022

China's 'space dream': A Long March to the Moon and beyond |

BEIJING – The return to Earth of three astronauts on Saturday after six months at China's new space station marks a landmark step in the country's space ambitions, ending its longest crewed mission ever.
The world's second-largest economy has put billions into its military-run space programme, with hopes of eventually sending humans to the Moon.
China has come a long way in catching up with the United States and Russia, whose astronauts and cosmonauts have decades of experience in space exploration.
Here is a look at the country's space programme, and where it is headed:
Mao's vow
Soon after the Soviet Union launched Sputnik in 1957, Chairman Mao Zedong pronounced: "We too will make satellites."
It took more than a decade, but in 1970, China launched its first satellite on a Long March rocket.
Human spaceflight took decades longer, with Yang Liwei becoming the first Chinese 'taikonaut' in 2003.
As the launch approached, concerns over the viability of the mission caused Beijing to cancel a live television broadcast at the last minute.
But it went smoothly, with Yang orbiting the Earth 14 times during a 21-hour flight aboard the Shenzhou 5.
China has launched seven crewed missions since.

Haris Ibrahim – a true Malaysian hero |

MS: This is really very sad.
Lawyer, activist and political blogger Haris Ibrahim - a true Malaysian in the best sense of the word - is one of the finest political activists the country has produced. Fearless and selfless, he has sacrificed much in pursuit of a better Malaysia for all.
Having met him during the 2008 general election campaign, and knowing the impact he created then, I can say with confidence that his illness and confinement at home, will be felt by all those who spend their waking hours planning and strategising for meaningful political change.
Suresh Kumar: Haris, even though I do not know you personally, I have read many of your articles and comments. You are one of a very few passionate and honest activists whom I truly respect.
Many years ago, on one of my trips back from abroad, I went to your Damansara office to purchase the 'Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia' T-shirt and was hoping to meet you but you weren't in. I did spend some time with your friendly staff and comrades though.
I wish you well. Stay strong, bro. You will never be forgotten. Try out some meditation that will help strengthen your mind and body. We shall gladly contribute should you need any assistance for your medical needs. Take care, comrade.

Nothing’s gonna stop her now: rising runner Shereen Samson beats own 400m outdoor record
KUALA LUMPUR – There is no stopping rising runner Shereen Samson Vallabouy as she smashes her own personal record in the 400m outdoor event.
At the 2022 Bryan Clay Invitational in Azusa, California, Shereen won the women’s 400m outdoor dash event with an astonishing time of 53.37s, with the second-place runner coming in at 53.68s.
Shereen broke her previous personal time of 55.64s for the event set in May 2021 in Duluth, Minnesota.
Her current time also sees her becoming her school Winona State University’s record holder for the women’s 400m event.

Muhyiddin back as PM if we win GE15, says Bersatu leader |

PETALING JAYA: Muhyiddin Yassin is Bersatu’s pick for prime minister should Perikatan Nasional (PN) win the next general election (GE15), a Bersatu Supreme Council member revealed today.
Razali Idris said the Bersatu president was the most deserving candidate to be re-appointed as prime minister, as he had proven his ability to govern the country for 17 months previously.
“Bersatu will propose Muhyiddin as the prime minister candidate as he was forced to resign previously after being rejected by 15 MPs, especially from Barisan Nasional (BN). He was not rejected by the people.
“Muhyiddin will also be the prime minister candidate because he is the party president. This compares with Umno which could only propose its vice-president (and current prime minister) Ismail Sabri Yaakob,” he told reporters at an event in Kuala Terengganu yesterday, Berita Harian reported.
Razali said he also found it “weird” that Umno proposed a leader who was in the third tier in the party, when by normal convention, parties would nominate their party president.

Can PH trust Dr M or Pejuang? |

From P Ramasamy
It is hilarious to hear that Pejuang is positioning itself to lead the opposition to fight the Umno-led Barisan Nasional (BN) in the next general election (GE15) with its anti-corruption agenda.
Pejuang’s chairman and former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad thinks the party can lead the battle against Umno/BN the way it was done in the last general election (GE14) in May 2018.
Mahathir might have led PH then, but he was the same person responsible for undermining the then ruling coalition, leading to its downfall as a result of the infamous Sheraton Move.
It is not whether Pejuang can lead the PH coalition. Instead, the question is whether the coalition is going to trust Mahathir again.
Once bitten, twice shy.
Mahathir can talk about being the champion of the anti-corruption crusade in the country.

Shenzhou-13 crew return safely to Earth after record six months in orbit |

The Shenzhou-13 crew have safely returned to Earth after their epic six-month orbital trip, which nearly doubled the previous record of China's longest single-flight space mission of 92 days set by the Shenzhou-12, some eight hours after the manned spacecraft's detachment from the Tianhe core module.
The return capsule executed touchdown around 9:56 am at the designated Dongfeng landing site in North China, and the ground rescue and recovery arrived the landing point after the feat with high precision and efficiency.
Apart from the long-term stay in space, the mission has set many records and firsts in the country's manned space history.
The Shenzhou spacecraft developer, China Academy of Spacecraft Technology (CAST), disclosed in a statement sent to the Global Times that the Shenzhou-13 mission also explored emergency mission mechanisms for the first time, with the Shenzhou-14 manned spacecraft and Long March-2F Y14 rocket in standby position right after the launch of the Shenzhou-13 and Long March-2F Y13. This enabled a potential space rescue of the Shenzhou-13 taikonauts in case of any malfunction preventing the spacecraft from returning to Earth.
