Johor PKR man slams Melaka PH as ‘opportunistic, irresponsible’ Posted by: superadmin - 10-19-2021, 01:42 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: A PKR MP from Johor has hit out at the Melaka Pakatan Harapan leadership over the political crisis in the state, accusing the coalition’s state chapter of being “opportunistic and irresponsible”. In a statement, Pasir Gudang MP Hassan Abdul Karim said he had disagreed with Melaka PH’s attitude from the start of the crisis. “Melaka PH was opportunistic and irresponsible, dragging out this crisis until the Melaka state assembly was dissolved and now to a state election. “I also believe that the central PH leadership failed to manage this crisis well and failed to give the right guidance and leadership. Now, what is happening in Melaka is a fiasco,” he said. - More -   DAP says no to letting former rep Norhizam run under Pakatan banner in Melaka polls Posted by: superadmin - 10-19-2021, 01:39 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 19 — Former Pengkalan Batu assemblyman Datuk Norhizam Hassan Baktee will not get the chance to contest next month’s Melaka state election as a Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate if DAP has its say. DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said his party is firmly against Norhizam and will take up the matter to the PH presidential council, Malay news site Astro Awani reported today. “Some have asked and I have firmly stated that DAP has completely rejected the former Pengkalan Batu assemblyman as a candidate in the next state election. - More -   Melaka PAS seat distribution to be known in a week’s time Posted by: superadmin - 10-19-2021, 11:51 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies MELAKA, Oct 18 — The distribution of seats involving PAS for the Melaka state election is expected to be known in a week’s time at the latest after discussions are held between PAS, Umno and Bersatu. Melaka PAS commissioner Datuk Kamarudin Sidek said the discussions, to be managed by the PAS Central Technical Committee, were aimed at preventing more than two-cornered fights, thus harming the chances of all the component parties under the auspices of Perikatan Nasional (PN) and Muafakat Nasional (MN). “PAS is in MN and PN, which also include Umno and Bersatu the collaborative relationship among all component parties is still intact. So, the issue of seat distribution for the Melaka state election should involve all parties concerned. - More -   Li bids farewell to Merkel on video, hopes for same positive China policy Posted by: superadmin - 10-19-2021, 11:47 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Chinese Premier Li Keqiang held a video conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday, and said China hopes the upcoming new administration of Germany would maintain a positive and pragmatic policy toward China to reinforce the mainstream of cooperation of China-Germany ties.  This is the latest interaction between Chinese leaders with Merkel after Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Merkel by video link on October 13 and praised Merkel's contributions to China-Germany relations and China-EU ties.  Li told Merkel that the two sides should keep using the inter-governmental consultation mechanism to expand and strengthen cooperation, and China is willing to work with Germany and other countries to jointly deal with climate change and strengthen international cooperation to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.  China will be more open, and hopefully the two sides can remain open to each other, to safeguard the rules-based multilateral trade system together and the stability of the global industry and supply chains, Li said. - More -   Revive plan to stop child marriages, urge women’s groups Posted by: superadmin - 10-19-2021, 10:12 AM - Forum: Local News - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The government needs to revive the national plan on child marriage launched by the Pakatan Harapan administration to put a stop to underage marriages, said women NGOs. Sisters in Islam (SIS) said since the change of government in February 2020, there had been no clear indication if the women, family and community development ministry would implement the national strategic plan in handling child marriage and its causes. “The government must revisit and act on the plan which was launched in January last year,” a SIS spokesperson told FMT. The national plan was set up to address six main causes of underage marriage in the country. - More -   How the spirit of Capt Speedy landed in an unholy row Posted by: superadmin - 10-19-2021, 10:10 AM - Forum: Stop Racism and Religious Bigotry - Replies (3) PETALING JAYA: A Malaysian-made whisky, a rarity in itself, which won international awards last year became the target of complaints days after its international launch at an online event. Complaints started circulating on social media about its name, Timah, which some construed to be a contraction of Fatimah, daughter of Prophet Muhammad. Objections were also made about the label’s imagery, of colonial-era police chief and administrator Tristram Speedy, known as Captain Speedy. The social media comments led to the Consumers’ Association of Penang calling for a ban on its production, saying the use of the name Timah, which means tin in Malay, was offensive to Muslims. Others, including Penang mufti Wan Salim Wan Mohd Noor and religious affairs minister Idris Ahmad, also chimed in. - More -   Mahathir one of the causes of disunity, says DAP man Posted by: superadmin - 10-19-2021, 09:59 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad was accused today of being one of the factors for the existence of disunity in the country. Perai state assemblyman P Ramasamy of DAP said Mahathir had been “singing an old tune” about prioritising the Malays as being in the country’s best interest. “Mahathir continues to state the same thing repeatedly, but many people may have already grown tired of these statements,” he said in a Facebook post this evening. He said that Mahathir was one of the main drivers of a system that put the Malay and Umno political elite at a great advantage, referring to the New Economic Policy and its aftermath that was under Mahathir’s stewardship. - More -   Biden cannot slander China's Xinjiang policy while seeking cooperation with China Posted by: superadmin - 10-18-2021, 07:59 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies US President Joe Biden once again hyped China's Xinjiang policy on Friday as he delivered a speech at the dedication ceremony for the Dodd Centre for Human Rights at the University of Connecticut. Some analysts believe the US has been hoping a thaw with China in recent days, but Biden's rhetoric raises questions over Washington's sincerity. "Sadly, when we look around the world today, we cannot say that the specter of atrocity is behind us," Biden claimed, "We see today the patterns, the choices playing out around the world even as we speak: the oppression and use of forced labor of the Uyghurs in Xinjiang…" Biden's words fully embody the duality of his administration's China policy. On the one hand, it hopes to ease tensions with China and seek China's support and collaboration on subjects such as climate change, trade and global governance. On the other hand, in regard to the so-called human rights and ideology issues, the Biden administration has repeatedly piled pressure on China and hyped the "China threat" theory, in a bid to contain China, as well as ramp up the cohesion of the US alliance system and restore the US' international credibility and global leadership. - More -   U.S.-China, potentially the most perilous, bilateral relationship in human history Posted by: superadmin - 10-18-2021, 07:47 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Op-ed: Why the U.S.-China duo is the most significant, and potentially the most perilous, bilateral relationship in human history The U.S. and China represent the most significant – and potentially most perilous – bilateral relationship in human history.  Given that reality, neither side is managing their rising tensions with adequate skill or durable strategy. That’s the way Stephen Heintz of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund put it in a conversation with me a couple of days ago. It is also the subtext of conversations I’ve had with world leaders visiting Washington, D.C. this week for the IMF and World Bank meetings. U.S.-Soviet relations defined the Cold War, with both sides fielding the unprecedented nuclear capability to devastate each other, and much more. Before that, the Anglo-American relationship was decisive, from intense U.S.-British competition in the 19th century to an alliance that prevented fascist victory during World War II in the 20th century. Yet Heintz’s argument is compelling that U.S.-Chinese relations have a historically unique significance, based on their multi-dimensional nature that touches on just about every aspect of global affairs now and into the foreseeable future.  - More -   Nord Stream 2: The Russian pipeline that everybody’s talking about Posted by: superadmin - 10-18-2021, 07:36 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies The gas pipeline is finished, but it is waiting regulatory approval before it can start providing the 55 billion cubic meters of natural gas to Europe every year. Some European lawmakers are fiercely opposed to the deal and do not want regulators to approve it. The debate over what to do with Nord Stream 2 has gained even more attention in recent weeks as energy prices soar across Europe. Lubmin, GERMANY – Remote, quiet but energy-rich: the coastal area of Lubmin in north Germany hosts the world’s most controversial gas pipeline. Nord Stream 2 stretches for 1,200 kilometres from Vyborg in Russia through the Baltic Sea to Lubmin in Germany, bypassing Ukraine and Poland. The gas pipeline is finished, but it is waiting regulatory approval before it can start providing the 55 billion cubic meters of natural gas to Europe every year. - More - Pages (1063): « Previous 1 … 736 737 738 739 740 … 1063 Next » Jump to page:
