Zaid sees broken institutions as real cause of graft Posted by: superadmin - 01-27-2022, 11:02 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Former law minister Zaid Ibrahim has called for recognition that “broken public institutions” must be repaired to give meaning to the fight against corruption. “Our public institutions are corrupt,” he said, adding that it would not do enough good to just punish tainted individuals. He was commenting on former chief justice Abdul Hamid Mohamad’s call to Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Barisan Nasional (BN) adviser Najib Razak to step down from their positions to clear BN of the taint of corruption linked to them. - More -   Umno will make its own decisions on Johor polls, PAS leader told Posted by: superadmin - 01-27-2022, 10:52 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Umno information chief Shahril Hamdan has hit back at PAS Dewan Ulama committee member Mokhtar Senik over his claim that the party is power hungry for offering PAS just four seats in the upcoming Johor elections. Yesterday, Mokhtar said Umno seemed to forget the role PAS had played in earlier state elections in its eagerness to retain power without them. He said Umno should not seek to form a government without its Perikatan Nasional allies PAS and Bersatu. In response, Shahril said that while all were free to give their opinions, Umno would make its own decisions in accordance with the views of its supreme council. “But succumbing to pressure from external parties, not at all,” he declared in a Facebook post. - More -   Parties eyeing Penang because DAP losing support, says analyst Posted by: superadmin - 01-27-2022, 10:36 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies GEORGE TOWN: Several parties, including two lesser-known ones, are eyeing Penang because DAP is losing favour among its supporters, an analyst said. James Chin of University of Tasmania said the discontent was not just in Penang but throughout the country as shown by the party’s losses in the Melaka and Sarawak elections. One of the reasons why the party’s Chinese supporters were unhappy was the non-recognition of the United Examinations Certificate (UEC) – a school-leaving examination for Chinese-medium high schools – even when Pakatan Harapan, of which DAP is a member, was in federal power. Chin said the other frustration was their unhappiness with former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad over policies affecting the community. He said DAP’s insistence on supporting Mahathir had further eroded its support base. - More -   PKR using own logo tells of a ‘disintegrating’ PH, says analyst Posted by: superadmin - 01-27-2022, 10:20 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan’s decision to let PKR use its own logo in the upcoming Johor elections – while Amanah and DAP contest under the PH banner – is a sign of a “disintegrating coalition”, according to a political analyst. Oh Ei Sun of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs said the decision spoke volumes about disunity in PH, especially after the coalition’s heavy loss in the Melaka polls in November. PH won only five of the 28 seats up for grabs in Melaka, where it contested under the coalition’s banner, with. DAP winning four, Amanah one and PKR none. Oh said he expected DAP and Amanah to be disappointed in PKR president Anwar Ibrahim for the decision on the use of party logos, since the two components looked to him as a uniting factor as the PH chairman, but the issue was being raised by his own party. - More -   We’re at a new low if people say Gone lah Malaysia! Posted by: superadmin - 01-26-2022, 07:19 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies It has been a frustrating 2021 for most Malaysians. Episode after episode involving disasters, political manoeuvres, race and religious extremism, poor decisions, exposes of corruption etc. have only led us to become more and more disenchanted. Someone asked recently if most columnists and authors of opinion pieces in the Malaysian media have nothing positive to write about, as a good number of them appear to be only painting a grim picture. My reply was simple. Some writers articulate their thoughts to try and reach out to the masses. Some do it for money while another group prefers to call a spade a spade, even at the risk of being sued or being called up by the authorities. Those who choose to be honestly critical want to point out the terrible weaknesses that, if left unchecked, will slowly but surely destroy the institutions that should be protecting the nation. - More -   PKR logo important, says MP on party’s ditching of PH logo in Johor Posted by: superadmin - 01-26-2022, 07:16 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Tzin has stressed the importance of PKR using its own logo at the upcoming Johor elections. “In competitive seats where PKR is contesting, every vote counts,” he said on Twitter. “I have first-hand experience from the Melaka state elections that familiarity with the PKR logo is important,” he added. Earlier today, Pakatan Harapan chairman Anwar Ibrahim said that PKR will use its own logo at the Johor polls while Amanah and DAP will contest under the PH banner. “With regard to our logo, a consensus has been reached. PKR will use its own logo while the other component parties will use the PH logo,” Anwar said. - More -   Fearless Motivation - I know my Way now Posted by: superadmin - 01-26-2022, 07:13 PM - Forum: Musics - No Replies   Long Covid: doctors find ‘antibody signature’ for patients most at risk Posted by: superadmin - 01-26-2022, 12:12 PM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies Doctors have discovered an “antibody signature” that can help identify patients most at risk of developing long Covid, a condition where debilitating symptoms of the disease can persist for many months. Researchers at University hospital Zurich analysed blood from Covid patients and found that low levels of certain antibodies were more common in those who developed long Covid than in patients who swiftly recovered. When combined with the patient’s age, details of their Covid symptoms and whether or not they had asthma, the antibody signature allowed doctors to predict whether people had a moderate, high or very high risk of developing long-term illness. “Overall, we think that our findings and identification of an immunoglobulin signature will help early identification of patients that are at increased risk of developing long Covid, which in turn will facilitate research, understanding and ultimately targeted treatments for long Covid,” said Onur Boyman, a professor of immunology who led the research. The team studied 175 people who tested positive for Covid and 40 healthy volunteers who acted as a control group. To see how their symptoms changed over time, doctors followed 134 of the Covid patients for up to a year after their initial infection. Blood tests on the participants showed that those who developed long Covid – also known as post-acute Covid-19 syndrome (Pacs) – tended to have low levels of the antibodies IgM and IgG3. When Covid strikes, IgM ramps up rapidly, while IgG antibodies rise later and provide longer-term protection. - More -   IMF cuts 2022 global growth forecast as U.S., China recovery wanes Posted by: superadmin - 01-26-2022, 11:40 AM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies The International Monetary Fund has downgraded its 2022 global growth forecast to 4.4%. In its World Economic Outlook report, published Tuesday, the IMF said it expects global gross domestic product to grow 0.5 percentage points less than previously estimated. The revised outlook is largely due to growth markdowns in the world’s two largest economies; the U.S. and China. The International Monetary Fund has downgraded its global growth forecast for this year as rising Covid-19 cases, supply chain disruptions and higher inflation hamper economic recovery. In its delayed World Economic Outlook report, published Tuesday, the IMF said it expects global gross domestic product to weaken from 5.9% in 2021 to 4.4% in 2022 — with this year’s figure being half a percentage point lower than previously estimated. “The global economy enters 2022 in a weaker position than previously expected,” the report noted, highlighting “downside surprises” such as the emergence of the omicron Covid variant, and subsequent market volatility, since its October forecast. The revised outlook is led by growth markdowns in the world’s two largest economies; the U.S. and China. - More -   WHO says Omicron risk level ‘very high’ Posted by: superadmin - 01-26-2022, 11:24 AM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies GENEVA – The risk level related to the Omicron variant remains very high, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said late yesterday, with the number of new Covid-19 cases hitting another record high last week. “Over 21 million new cases were reported, representing the highest number of weekly cases recorded since the beginning of the pandemic,” the WHO said in its weekly epidemiological coronavirus update. The UN health agency said the number of new infections increased by five percent in the week to Sunday – compared to the 20% rise registered the week before. “A slower increase in case incidence was observed at the global level,” the WHO said. Nearly 50,000 new deaths were also reported, it added – a similar figure to the week before. The report said Omicron continued to increase its dominance globally over the other variants of concern. “The current global epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 is characterised by the dominance of the Omicron variant on a global scale, continued decline in the prevalence of the Delta variant, and very low-level circulation of Alpha, Beta and Gamma variants,” the WHO said. - More - Pages (1198): « Previous 1 … 768 769 770 771 772 … 1198 Next » Jump to page:
