‘One World, One Family’: Beijing Winter Olympics draws to a close Posted by: superadmin - 02-21-2022, 11:14 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies ‘One World, One Family’: Beijing Winter Olympics draws to a close with stunning ceremony The Beijing Winter Olympics drew to a close Sunday, rounding off the Games that will go down in history as much for their coronavirus restrictions and geopolitical tensions, as their nail-biting competitions and emotional moments. The closing ceremony at Beijing’s famous Bird’s Nest stadium, opened with children dancing holding snowflake-shaped lanterns, and ended with singing and the extinguishing of the Olympic flame. Snowflake lights then floated up out of the stadium and fireworks lit up the night sky spelling the message: “One World, One Family.” Inside, people celebrated on the stadium floor as the song “Auld Lang Syne” played. - More -   Federal Court: Selangor cannot empower Shariah courts to perform judicial reviews Posted by: superadmin - 02-21-2022, 11:08 AM - Forum: Politics - Replies (1) Federal Court: Selangor cannot empower Shariah courts to perform judicial reviews, power solely held by civil courts KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 21 — A nine-judge panel at the Federal Court today unanimously declared that the Selangor state legislative assembly has no authority to make an enactment giving the Shariah courts the power to carry out judicial reviews of Islamic authorities’ decisions. Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, who chaired the panel, said the Federal Court finds Section 66A of the Administration of the Religion of Islam (State of Selangor) Enactment 2003 — the Selangor state law that attempted to give Shariah courts the power to hear and decide judicial reviews — to be against the Federal Constitution. “I find Section 66A is unconstitutional and void as it is a provision which the Selangor state legislative assembly has no power to make,” the judge said in the decision delivered online through the video-conferencing platform Zoom. Among other things, the chief justice stressed that the Federal Court had in previous cases already decided that the power of judicial review is uniquely held by and to be exercised only by the civil courts. Source: Malay Mail   Beijing Winter Olympics give world a warm and healing embrace Posted by: superadmin - 02-21-2022, 10:43 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Starting with freshness and romance and ending with joy and praise, the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, the first global sports event to be held as scheduled in more than two years since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, have brought warmth and hope to people from all over the world in the cold winter of the pandemic, and have also injected a valuable force of peace and unity into a turbulent world. The Beijing Winter Olympics are warm and healing. The orderly closed-loop "bubble" has provided a sense of safety that is scarce in many countries but is taken for granted in Beijing. This is warm and healing. The giant snowflake-shaped cauldron, surrounded by small snowflakes bearing the names of all participating delegations, lit the fire of hope to guard the unity of human being. This is warm and healing. The popularity of the Big Air Shougang venue showcases China's unremitting efforts to achieve carbon neutrality. This is warm and healing. The Ice Ribbon, where the Olympic records have been broken time and again, witnessed the perfect fusion of modern technology and Chinese wisdom. This is warm and healing. Mascot Bing Dwen Dwen, the star of this Winter Olympics, has passed on love and warmth that triggered an emotional resonance in everyone, transcending national boundaries. - More -   Scream, shout and speak up for change, says Syed Saddiq Posted by: superadmin - 02-21-2022, 09:45 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Malaysians must “scream, shout” and generally speak up to push for policy changes, Muda president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman said today. “Many public policy changes or u-turns by different governments happen when there is a huge backlash, which shows that the people’s power starts with the ordinary Malaysian,” he said at a panel discussion on social justice. “Shutting our eyes and ears today merely postpones the problem but it does not absolve us of the guilt and responsibility to change Malaysia together as a collective community,” he said. Syed Saddiq said the 2018 general election (GE14) was a tipping point for the nation as politicians learned that they could be easily voted out if they did not listen to the people. - More -   The heartless Perlis heat Posted by: superadmin - 02-21-2022, 09:35 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Over the last few days, the heat has been oppressive. The electricity bill is certainly going to soar, with people using air-conditioners or fans more often or for longer periods. The political climate is also heating up, what with the Johor state elections slated for March 12. Politicians are at their best, stabbing at each other in their lust for power. Even the religious climate in the nation is getting hotter. Societal cohesiveness is being threatened once again – this time by heat generated from a blaze which began in Perlis, the tiniest of our states. While the rest of the country is concerned about the heat from Perlis, those in Putrajaya seem to be contended to sit in airconditioned comfort – with their power bills paid by the taxpayer – and let things take their course. - More -   Anwar: PKR will welcome Rafizi back with open arms should he return to politics Posted by: superadmin - 02-20-2022, 08:16 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 20 — PKR President Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today said that he would welcome back former vice-president of the party, Rafizi Ramli, should he wish to return to the field of politics.  According to Anwar, Rafizi, as a member of PKR and a Malaysian citizen, has the right to make any decision he wants, especially in the political and democratic spheres. “He is a member of the party and like all the members, has his rights. We will always welcome his participation back into the political arena, and it should and must include welcome all,” he was quoted saying by Astro Awani.  This comes after party sources from within the PKR leadership told Malaysiakini that there would be a three-cornered fight between secretary-general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, Perak PKR chief Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak and Rafizi for the post of deputy president of the party in the coming party elections in April. - More -   Muda formed by DAP? Pure idiocy, info chief tells Hadi Posted by: superadmin - 02-20-2022, 05:22 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies GEORGE TOWN: Muda and Amanah leaders have taken offence at Abdul Hadi Awang’s claim that their parties were formed by DAP to bait Malay votes, saying it was yet another fable the youths in the country would not fall for. Muda information chief Zaidel Baharuddin said it was “idiocy” for PAS president Hadi to think that the youth-based party was DAP-backed. “I can’t believe that in this day and age, we still have to answer for such idiocy. “Muda was not founded by DAP, just as how there are no 5G nanochips planted by (billionaire) Bill Gates in our vaccines. “People are tired, worried and sick mentally and literally with what is going on. - More -   Chinese FM Wang Yi calls for diplomatic solution, not hyping war over Ukraine issue Posted by: superadmin - 02-20-2022, 01:23 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Related parties to the Ukraine crisis should return to the Minsk Agreement, lay out a road map and schedule to solve the problem rather than hyping war and creating panic, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi stressed when attending the Munich Security Conference on Saturday.    At the conference, Wang commented on the expansion of NATO, security in Europe and the Ukraine tensions in response to questions raised by MSC Chairman Wolfgang Ischinger during the session, according to CGTN. As a product of the Cold War, which has ended long ago, NATO should make necessary adjustments, said the Chinese diplomat. "If NATO keeps expanding eastward, is it conducive to maintaining peace and stability in Europe?" Wang asked.  He reiterated China's stance that all countries' sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity should be respected and safeguarded, adding that Ukraine is no exception to the principle. - More -   Nothing personal against Najib, but he’s nothing like his dad: Dr Mahathir Posted by: superadmin - 02-20-2022, 01:11 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today said Datuk Seri Najib Razak is nothing like his father, the country’s second prime minister Tun Abdul Razak Hussein, as the two former prime ministers continue to lock horns ahead of the Johor election. In his second open letter to Johor voters ahead of next month’s poll, Mahathir drew comparisons between Razak and his son, noting that one is a nationalist while the other a thief. According to the Pejuang chairman, his contempt for Najib was not personal, but said this had only brewed after the latter’s involvement in the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) scandal. Mahathir noted that, prior to this, he had even personally supported and pushed for Najib to become the deputy prime minister when Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi held the country’s top government post. “Apart from believing that Najib is qualified, I also felt indebted to his father Tun Razak, who helped me in my political career,” he said today. “Unfortunately, Najib is nothing like his father. Tun Razak is a dignified nationalist and warrior. Najib, meanwhile, robbed national assets with the help of Jho Low. “Foreign newspapers labelled Najib as a ‘plundering idiot’, while the appeals court described him as a ‘national embarrassment’.” - More -   Muhyiddin may have broken secrecy laws, says Umno division Posted by: superadmin - 02-20-2022, 01:04 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: An Umno division has lodged a police report against Muhyiddin Yassin, saying he may have broken the law when he claimed the country is in financial trouble. The youth wing of the Parit Sulong Umno division said information about the nation’s financial status was protected under the Official Secrets Act 1972 and was therefore confidential. “The Bersatu president is not a Cabinet member nor the prime minister any more. He is  not entitled to be in possession of any information on the country that is classified as confidential. “What was said by Muhyiddin appears to contravene the laws on official national documents, which are subject to the Official Secrets Act 1972,” it said in a statement last night. - More - Pages (1211): « Previous 1 … 750 751 752 753 754 … 1211 Next » Jump to page:
