Sheraton Move cut short plans to reform Parliament, says ex-speaker Posted by: superadmin - 02-27-2022, 05:20 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR: Putting a stop to unruly MPs from both sides of the political divide in Parliament was among the main reforms former Dewan Rakyat speaker Ariff Md Yusof had wanted to push through during his term, but the Sheraton Move put paid to it. Recalling his experience as the speaker when Pakatan Harapan (PH) formed the federal government, Ariff lamented the unruly attitude of MPs, which he had wanted to put a stop to, so that debates could be carried out in a civil manner. “Certain MPs blatantly abuse parliamentary immunity and they know how to make use of the privilege. - More -   Guan Eng thanks PKR for not retaliating against Muda over Larkin Posted by: superadmin - 02-27-2022, 01:07 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies JOHOR BAHRU: DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng has thanked PKR for not retaliating against Muda for clashing with Anwar Ibrahim’s party in the Larkin seat. In a press conference, Lim said all parties needed to put their own interests aside to maximise the opposition’s chances of beating Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional. “We appreciate every effort to ensure a one-to-one fight. We also appreciate what PKR has done in not retaliating against Muda for contesting (against PKR) in Larkin. “That must be put on record and appreciated. This is in line with Pakatan Harapan’s big tent spirit,” he said. - More -   On first day of Johor polls campaign, 30 women ditch Bersatu for PKR Posted by: superadmin - 02-27-2022, 11:14 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KOTA TINGGI, Feb 26 — A group of 30 women led by Rosnah Suliman from Felda Sungai Sibol joined PKR today, boosting the Opposition party’s morale as the Johor election campaign officially started. Rosnah brought with her 29 others, claiming they were previously with the ruling Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) and now wanted to help the Tenggara PKR division campaign for the Pasir Raja state constituency in the March 12 vote. However, she did not share the reason they left Bersatu, saying she preferred to “let what happened there, stay there”. “Personally, what I hope for is something different, a place which provides opportunities for women to work,” she said in a press conference at the Pasir Raja PKR operations centre. - More -   MUAR – Pakatan Harapan (PH) would have a fighting chance in securing enough seats to Posted by: superadmin - 02-27-2022, 10:49 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies MUAR – Pakatan Harapan (PH) would have a fighting chance in securing enough seats to form a new Johor government, provided that the voter turnout at the upcoming state polls exceeds 70%, a coalition leader asserted. Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub, who is deputy president of PH component party Amanah, said this target has driven his party and the coalition as a whole to ramp up their efforts in encouraging those living outside of the state to return home and cast their ballots. “If it comes to about 70%, we believe we can win. There will be a good chance, a good fight by PH,” he said in an interview with The Vibes. Salahuddin said PH is confident of reversing its dismal performance in the Melaka election on November 20, when the Umno-led Barisan Nasional (BN) dominated the polls by winning with over a two-thirds majority. PH only won five of the 28 seats up for grabs. Four of the seats were won by candidates from DAP, while one was secured by an Amanah candidate. Salahuddin argued that Umno’s victory in Melaka should not be seen as a shift in voter sentiment, but was instead caused by the low voter turnout. - More -   Ismail a captive of court cluster, snap GE unlikely, says Guan Eng Posted by: superadmin - 02-27-2022, 10:43 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The dominance of the so-called “court cluster” and the government’s underwhelming performance will hinder Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob from calling a snap general election, says DAP’s Lim Guan Eng. In an interview with FMT, the DAP secretary-general said he believed that Ismail, an Umno vice–president, was caught in a vice as he was a captive of the court cluster. The court cluster refers to the group of Umno leaders facing trial on charges of corruption, abuse of power and money laundering among others; the leaders include party president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and former prime minister Najib Razak. “If you look at the court cluster, they are calling the shots in the party (Umno). They want to have early elections so that they can decide on the candidates, not only for GE15 but also for the Cabinet and the prime minister’s position,” he said, adding it was the party president who granted the watikah (letter of candidacy) to all candidates. - More -   BN Johor line-up puts a face on Umno power struggle Posted by: superadmin - 02-27-2022, 10:37 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The Barisan Nasional decision to field 70% new candidates in the Johor elections has more to do with a struggle for power in Umno rather than offering voters “fresh faces”, says an analyst. Oh Ei Sun of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs said he believed the move would see “the mainstream faction” in Umno, led by its president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and former prime minister Najib Razak, consolidating their power in the party. “I think what’s going on is the gradual surfacing of this internal power struggle between the mainstream faction and those aligned to Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob,” he told FMT. “The mainstream faction is trying to make sure that these candidates are people who will remain loyal to them.” He said BN’s tactics did not really matter in terms of election results as most of the Umno candidates have a high chance of winning given that Johor is a traditional Umno stronghold. Oh thinks that BN is most likely to win the biggest number of seats because the opposition is divided and will dilute their votes. - More -   Ex-Goldman banker’s trial reveals greed, graft from 1MDB scheme Posted by: superadmin - 02-27-2022, 10:32 AM - Forum: Business. Economy and Investment - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Goldman Sachs Group Inc’s dirty laundry has been airing in a New York courtroom, from a fast-escalating racket to loot Malaysia’s wealth fund to the handsome compensation given to a high-flying grifter. Tim Leissner, a former top banker at Goldman and the star witness in the federal bribery trial of his colleague Roger Ng, has spent the last week recounting troubling behaviour that went on for years at Goldman and would make a compliance officer’s skin crawl. And he’s not done. Leissner, who pleaded guilty for his role in a scheme that pilfered billions from 1MDB through a series of bond deals arranged by Goldman, is due back in court Tuesday for more testimony. He’s cooperating with prosecutors. - More -   Ex-PH, BN supporters place their hopes in Warisan Posted by: superadmin - 02-27-2022, 10:22 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies JOHOR BAHRU: Warisan’s new Peninsular Malaysia supporters say they are proud to raise the party’s flag and believe that the Sabah-based party can bring the change that they want to see in Johor. Warisan has six candidates in the Johor elections, the party’s maiden electoral outing in the peninsula. The announcement of its line-up saw supporters of various races at the event. One of the supporters, who asked to be called MGR Batliam, said he had just started supporting Warisan this year, adding that previously he voted for Barisan Nasional (BN). - More -   PAS’ religious rhetoric won’t work in Johor, says Umno’s Nur Jazlan Posted by: superadmin - 02-26-2022, 07:51 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The more PAS talks about religion, the better it will be for Barisan Nasional (BN) in the Johor state elections as the state has a balanced population of Malays and non-Malays, says state Umno deputy chief Nur Jazlan Mohamed. He said the Islamic party, which is contesting 15 seats, is bereft of ideas and all they talk about is polygamy and promoting ridiculous practices like saying husbands can beat their wives “lightly”, among others. “In Johor, we have a multiracial society, with Malays and non-Malays. PAS is welcome to talk about their brand of religion. “They can’t engage in discussions about education or the economy. They only know how to talk about religion. “Go ahead, the more they do it, the more non-Malays will return to the BN fold,” he said in a video interview with Malaysia Gazette last night. - More -   Will it be goodbye forever as youths leave Malaysia for a better future? Posted by: superadmin - 02-26-2022, 02:09 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies By Zack Yong I was having a chat with my circle of friends recently during the lunar new year about a week ago, we had a small gathering as we talked about how we all were and what we were planning to do in the future; with most of them saying that they want to leave the country to pursue better careers or a better livelihood. Without a shred of doubt in my mind, most of them, I believe, will end up in another country. Ultimately I can’t advise them on how to live their life, but the majority of us can see what’s going on and must be wondering whether it’s worth staying or going overseas. There is a recent escalation of this issue, as Malaysia slides deeper into becoming an unjust society, many people made the sad or angry choice that their life and future would be better spent somewhere else. - More - Pages (1211): « Previous 1 … 744 745 746 747 748 … 1211 Next » Jump to page:
