Warisan will struggle on the peninsula, say analysts Posted by: superadmin - 10-21-2021, 10:59 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KOTA KINABALU: Two political analysts have voiced doubt that Warisan will make any impact in Peninsular Malaysia if it goes ahead with its plan to spread its wings across the pond. Lee Kuok Tiung of Universiti Malaysia Sabah and Awang Azman Pawi of Universiti Malaya said the challenges of vying with established parties on the peninsula and gaining acceptability by West Malaysians would be formidable. At a Zoom session in conjunction with his birthday last Tuesday, Warisan president Shafie Apdal told the media the party would pursue its plan to launch itself onto the national platform and that it would adopt a multiracial approach in its policies and also uphold Muslim values. He said he expected support from many young voters because of their courage in seeing change. Lee told FMT he believed Warisan had little hope of mounting any significant challenge against parties in Barisan Nasional, Perikatan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan. - More -   Umno, PAS in informal talks to avoid straight fights in Melaka Posted by: superadmin - 10-21-2021, 10:53 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Faced with the prospect of splitting the Malay votes and losing seats to Pakatan Harapan (PH), Umno and PAS are now in unofficial talks over seat distribution in the Melaka state election – although Umno has said it does not want to work with the Islamist party. A source in the know said they are looking at an informal pact on seat distribution with the two parties not squaring off against each other for Malay seats. “If PAS and Umno contest against each other, it will split votes and benefit PH. “We are not keen to have an official pact with PAS as Umno has to go solo under the Barisan Nasional (BN) banner to test the waters before the general election. - More -   Activist lauds PAS leader’s ‘sensible’ take in buzz over whisky Posted by: superadmin - 10-21-2021, 10:50 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Social activist Chandra Muzaffar has welcomed a PAS attempt to quell the controversy over the brand name of an award-winning Malaysian-made whisky. Commenting on PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Man’s defence of the manufacturer’s right to use the name “Timah”, Chandra said it was a “sensible, balanced and appropriate” statement. Speaking to FMT, he criticised those who had “exaggerated” the issue and said the PAS leader had done a good job of telling Muslims to shun alcohol without depriving the right of non-Muslims to drink it. In the statement he issued on Tuesday, Tuan Ibrahim said “timah” was a metal and not a Muslim name “or even a person’s name”. Whatever the brand name, he added, alcohol was still forbidden in Islam but the rights of non-Muslims to drink it had to be respected. The distillers have issued an explanation, saying the name referred to tin and was not a shortened version of the Arabic name Fatimah. Fatimah was also the name of Prophet Muhammad’s daughter. - More -   PKR must ditch cartel-linked reps, says analyst Posted by: superadmin - 10-21-2021, 10:44 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: A political analyst has warned of a likely increase of support for a rogue group in Melaka PKR if the party nominates anyone linked to it as a candidate in the upcoming state election. Speaking to FMT, Awang Azman Pawi of Universiti Malaya (UM) said PKR would be putting its reputation at stake if it failed to prove that it had candidates more qualified than those linked to what the press has come to refer to as a “cartel” of former state party leaders. He said PKR’s stability would continue to be under threat if it didn’t take action against the group to prevent an increase of support for it and to ensure the party was not exposed to ridicule. “It has to conduct a spring cleaning to prove it is capable of coming out stronger and more united without the cartel in the party and that it has candidates who are more qualified,” he added. He said there was no denying that there was such a cartel in Melaka PKR and that its influence was strong enough to give it the courage to go against the party’s central leadership. - More -   Economic Update: Signs of System Decline Posted by: superadmin - 10-20-2021, 09:04 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies   How is Life in the United States? - Lessons from my Visit to California Posted by: superadmin - 10-20-2021, 08:01 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies   Pro-PH group urges top guns to say ‘no’ to Melaka 4 ‘traitors’ Posted by: superadmin - 10-20-2021, 06:47 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – An informal group of Pakatan Harapan supporters have called on the coalition to reject nominations of former Melaka chief minister Datuk Seri Idris Haron and three other reps for the upcoming state election.   The group, which calls itself Kerajaan Gagal Kembali (Return of the Failed Government), said that it rejects any cooperation with the four assemblymen who had withdrawn support for the chief minister and triggered the political crisis while the state is recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic.   The group, led by social media influencer Zack Rockstar, submitted a memorandum to the PH leadership at the PKR headquarters in Merchant Square, Petaling Jaya, this afternoon.   The memorandum was sent just as PH leaders, including its presidential council comprising PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Amanah president Mohamad Sabu and DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Ng, arrived at the headquarters to hold a meeting on the state election. - More -   US hypes ‘nuclear threat’ from China, Russia to legitimize security and arms race Posted by: superadmin - 10-20-2021, 03:39 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies US hypes ‘nuclear threat’ from China, Russia to legitimize absolute security and arms race Senior US officials and Western media have spared no efforts to hype the so-called "nuclear threat" from China, even after China clarified an inaccurate report about a "hypersonic missile test in August," as the test was about a reusable spacecraft, with the Chinese Foreign Ministry saying on Tuesday that the US is hyping the "China threat theory" to pursue absolute security and expand military power. Experts stressed that Washington is the one that should be held accountable for intensifying the arms race between major nuclear powers. The US has a clear advantage over China and Russia in nuclear weapons, and it has militarized space and exerted huge security pressure on other countries to further break the balance between major nuclear powers, said analysts. They added that Washington has openly shown its hostility toward Beijing and Moscow by treating them as "competitors." China and Russia are justified in taking action and strengthening the development of relevant capabilities not only for self-defense but also to stabilize international security.   - More -   Most young crypto traders don’t realize it’s not regulated, UK markets watchdog says Posted by: superadmin - 10-20-2021, 02:54 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies 69% of under-40 traders investing in cryptocurrencies incorrectly believe they’re regulated, according to the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority. 68% of younger traders compared investing in cryptocurrencies and other high-risk products to gambling, the regulator said. The FCA previously warned a “new, younger, more diverse group of consumers” was getting involved in higher risk investments. LONDON — Most cryptocurrency investors under the age of 40 don’t realize it isn’t a regulated product, according to the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority. Cryptocurrencies are not regulated in the U.K., meaning people are not protected by consumer protection laws if their funds are lost for any reason — for example in a hack on an exchange. But, according to research published by the FCA, most young people investing in crypto aren’t aware of this, with 69% incorrectly believing it is regulated. - More -   Climate change: Fossil fuel production set to soar over next decade Posted by: superadmin - 10-20-2021, 02:43 PM - Forum: Environment Protection News - No Replies Plans by governments to extract fossil fuels up to 2030 are incompatible with keeping global temperatures to safe levels, says the UN. The UNEP production gap report say countries will drill or mine more than double the levels needed to keep the 1.5C threshold alive. Oil and gas recovery is set to rise sharply with only a modest decrease in coal. There has been little change since the first report was published in 2019. With the COP26 climate conference just over a week away, there is already a huge focus on the carbon-cutting ambitions of the biggest emitters. But despite the flurry of net zero emission goals and the increased pledges of many countries, some of the biggest oil, gas and coal producers have not set out plans for the rapid reductions in fossil fuels that scientists say are necessary to limit temperatures in coming years.  - More - Pages (1061): « Previous 1 … 731 732 733 734 735 … 1061 Next » Jump to page:
