Nothing ‘promising’ from Russia-Ukraine talks: Kremlin Posted by: superadmin - 03-31-2022, 09:16 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies MOSCOW – The Kremlin yesterday played down hopes of a breakthrough following peace talks between Russian and Ukrainian delegates in Istanbul a day earlier. “We cannot state that there was anything too promising or any breakthroughs,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. “There is a lot of work to be done,” Peskov said. He added that Moscow considered it “positive” that Kyiv had started outlining its demands in writing. “We carefully avoid making statements on the matters” that are discussed at the talks because “we believe that negotiations should take place in silence,” he added. Moscow’s lead negotiator, Vladimir Medinsky, described talks in Istanbul on Monday as “meaningful”. A defence official at the talks said Russia would be significantly reducing its military activity near Ukraine’s capital Kyiv and the city of Chernigiv. - More -   Rodziah to challenge Fadhlina for PKR Wanita chief’s post Posted by: superadmin - 03-31-2022, 09:01 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Selangor PKR Wanita chief Rodziah Ismail is set to challenge PKR Wanita’s legal and community development bureau chief Fadhlina Siddiq for the Wanita chief’s position in the upcoming party elections.

Speaking at an online forum titled “Anthony Jawab Jujur”, Loke highlighted the recent Johor elections, where Warisan adopted a “confrontational approach” by contesting in seats that DAP had won in the last general election (GE14). - More -   Time for PKR to be the change they want to see Posted by: superadmin - 03-31-2022, 08:51 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies BlueJaguar0861: The Sheraton Move was a significant setback for Anwar. No one should trust the traitor (Azmin) who initiated the move that broke the trust people had in Anwar and PKR. Rafizi and Nurul must revive that trust. No one will ever trust Azmin anymore. All Malaysians must come together as one and remove all corrupted politicians. The Wakandan: “This does not mean that Malay voters are any more racist than others, as all are guilty in roughly equal measures of racism.” True. This is the hard talk. There are not many multiracial countries in the world with different ethnic groups practising their culture, language and religion distinctly. In this sense, Malaysia is rather unique. Politics is always to garner support and the easiest way to do that in Malaysia is for each race to appeal to its own race. Any others come second. There is no perfect formula but our forefathers in their simple way saw fit to form parties that mirrored this. Different parties for the different races then formed a coalition or an alliance. Thus, we had Umno, MCA and MIC respectively for the three major races in Malaya. That seemed to work, for a while at least. However, the dominant party began to up the ante, to get more support and benefit. Then things began to get awry. That’s what we have today. PKR tried to do away with racial politics. They can only be supported by the minority races who lost out in a racial party system and the dominant race (Malays) who saw its failure. As long as that holds true, PKR would still get their support. However, once that status quo is shifted, then by the same token, the support would be lost too. PKR’s feature has shifted because Anwar changed his outlook in order to cater for the support of the dominant race. He flirted with the usual racism and religious factors. Currently, more importantly, both factors – PKR multiracial appeal and BN’s failure – are not there anymore. The pre-GE14 scenario is less conspicuous now. That’s the reason PKR lost its relevance, and both the Malays and the non-Malays began to abandon them. PKR needs to find its essence back. And I agree with the writer, Martin. It can start with a change in leadership or at least in its policies. - More -   China & India in 2022: They Are Making a Difference!

He said the first criteria is when a member of parliament announces leaving the political party he/she contested for in an election to be an Independent member or join another political party. “The second is when a Member of Parliament is expelled from the political party. This is for the purpose of ensuring that MPs abide by the constitution, as well as the party rules and regulations. “The party that sacked the Member of Parliament concerned will face the risk of losing the seat and an election will have to be held again," he said in response to a question from Senator Datuk John Ambrose. - More -   Time to consider halting use of MySejahtera for contact tracing: MMA Posted by: superadmin - 03-30-2022, 02:07 PM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – The Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) has called for an end to the use of the MySejahtera app for contact tracing purposes, saying that it may have now outlived its usefulness. Its president Dr Koh Kar Chai said that the app’s scanning feature for the purpose of contact tracing is no longer as useful as it was in the earlier phases of the pandemic. He noted the high transmissions of Covid-19 in the community. “As we are transitioning towards an endemic phase of Covid-19, it is time that we consider a halt to the scanning of MySejahtera each time we enter a premise, especially when we complete the phase of transition. “The use of Mysejahtera allowed contact tracing to be done during the height of the pandemic, a feat that would have been impossible without the MySejahtera app. “However, it may have outlived its usefulness as a contact tracing app,” he said in a statement today. - More -   Biden mired in credibility crisis on Ukraine Posted by: superadmin - 03-30-2022, 10:38 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Biden mired in credibility crisis on Ukraine amid attempt to seek defense spending boost The White House on Monday asked Congress for an $813 billion national defense in 2023, including $773 billion for the Pentagon, a four percent rise from the 2022 submission, with the "pacing challenge" of China and the "Russian aggression" to justify the request.  A day after US President Joe Biden forcefully declared in Poland that Russian President Vladimir Putin "cannot remain in power", a national poll released by NBC News on Sunday ironically showed that Biden's job approval fell to its lowest in his presidency, amid inflation, COVID-19 outbreaks, and concerns of rising military expenditure and the escalating Ukraine crisis. On the sharp contrast between the record-breaking defense budget request and lowest approval rating, Chinese experts said the White House should be aware that creating rivals and showing military toughness is not the way to win public support and make the US look great again.  The days of creating tension or even war to solve deep problems at home are gone, and the US' position on the Ukraine crisis is not as justified as it thinks it is, they said. - More -   We’re open, but some parties don’t want cooperation, says Wan Saiful Posted by: superadmin - 03-30-2022, 10:14 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KOTA KINABALU: Bersatu information chief Wan Saiful Wan Jan has taken a swipe at Umno, saying his party is ready to work with its allies ahead of the 15th general election (GE15) but there are parties that do not want such cooperation. Asked whether he thought Bersatu and Umno should continue working together under the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah-BN (GRS-BN) pact for GE15, Wan Saiful, who did not mention Umno by name, said his party had been clear that it wanted to maintain its partnership with other parties. - More -   How political cults have shaped Malaysia Posted by: superadmin - 03-30-2022, 09:57 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies The recent “Bossku” rave in many parts of the country has left many people dumbfounded and baffled by the rapturous reception that former prime minister Najib Razak has been receiving. Whether the crowds that greeted him on his walkabouts were paid or not, the fact that many had no qualms to be openly seen wearing “Bossku” T-shirts and taking selfies with Najib speaks volumes of where our politics is headed. There must be some people who think Najib is indeed innocent of the criminal charges on which he was convicted; others could be there for the benefits, monetary or otherwise. There could be some who admire him for rising above the murky morass in which he had landed. One needs intelligence and gumption to manoeuvre out of such a mess. All this is taking place at a time when the Goldman Sachs-1MDB trial in the United States is going full steam ahead with much incriminating evidence being exposed, while some of those involved directly or indirectly in the defrauding of a nation seem to be enjoying their freedom in different parts of the world. - More - Pages (1227): « Previous 1 … 732 733 734 735 736 … 1227 Next » Jump to page:
