  Malaysian companies reject orders as labour shortage bites
Posted by: superadmin - 06-13-2022, 10:49 AM - Forum: Business. Economy and Investment - No Replies

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian companies from palm oil plantations to semiconductor makers are refusing orders and forgoing billions in sales, hampered by a shortage of more than a million workers that threatens the country’s economic recovery.

Despite lifting a Covid-19 freeze on recruiting foreign workers in February, Malaysia has not seen a significant return of migrant workers because of slow government approvals and protracted negotiations with Indonesia and Bangladesh over worker protection, say industry groups, companies and diplomats.

  Why is Sabah still poor despite being palm oil rich?
Posted by: superadmin - 06-13-2022, 08:50 AM - Forum: Business. Economy and Investment - No Replies

SANDAKAN – Sabah generated RM1.8 billion from palm oil exports – the largest amount reaped from the product in the country – thanks to the massive planting of the cash crop on the state’s east coast.  

Although billions of ringgit are generated from the boom, most of the folks, especially in Tongod, Telupid and Beluran, are still living in abject conditions.

As a matter of fact, these are the poorest districts in the country. Villagers live without proper water and electricity supply. 

However, the boom in the oil palm sector after the pandemic has not provided any kind of steady employment to locals.

  Cash-strapped Sri Lanka announces weekly fuel quotas
Posted by: superadmin - 06-12-2022, 07:29 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies

COLOMBO – Crisis-hit Sri Lanka announced weekly fuel quotas for motorists today, as an acute shortage worsened and longer queues formed outside the few pumping stations still operating.

Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekera said the state-run Ceylon Petroleum Corporation was struggling to finance oil imports, while consumption had shot up due to shortages of electricity and liquefied petroleum gas.

“We have no choice but to register consumers at filling stations and give them a guaranteed weekly quota until we are able to strengthen the financial situation,” the minister said.

“I hope to have this system in place by the first week of July.”

He did not say how much fuel motorists will be allowed to buy under the new system.

  Diseases suppressed during Covid are coming back in new and peculiar ways
Posted by: superadmin - 06-11-2022, 08:01 PM - Forum: Health News - No Replies

  • As the Covid-19 pandemic and resultant social restrictions have abated in much of the world, other viruses are rearing their heads in new and unusual ways.
  • Influenza, Respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, tuberculosis and monkeypox are among a number of viruses to have spiked and exhibited strange behaviors in recent months.
  • Health experts say Covid-19 restrictions could have reduced exposure and lowered immunity to infectious diseases, making society more vulnerable to new outbreaks.

The Covid-19 pandemic has abated in much of the world and, with it, many of the social restrictions implemented to curb its spread, as people have been eager to return to pre-lockdown life.

But in its place have emerged a series of viruses behaving in new and peculiar ways.

Take seasonal influenza, more commonly known as the flu. The 2020 and 2021 U.S. winter flu seasons were some of the mildest on record both in terms of deaths and hospitalizations. Yet cases ticked up in February and climbed further into the spring and summer as Covid restrictions were stripped back.

“We’ve never seen a flu season in the U.S. extend into June,” Dr. Scott Roberts, associate medical director for infection prevention at Yale New Haven Hospital, told CNBC Tuesday.

“Covid has clearly had a very big impact on that. Now that people have unmasked, places are opening up, we’re seeing viruses behave in very odd ways that they weren’t before,” he said.

And flu is just the beginning.

  RM30mil for 200 lamp posts? Please explain, DAP tells DBKL
Posted by: superadmin - 06-11-2022, 04:46 PM - Forum: Stop Corruptions - Replies (2)

PETALING JAYA: The RM30.75 million contract for replacing 200 lamp posts in the Klang Valley must be explained in detail as it appears to be too costly, says the DAP.

Its public complaints bureau chairman Lim Lip Eng said there is a need for Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to be transparent and provide details of the work involved and the pricing.

Earlier this week, it was reported that the contract was awarded to Sarawak Consolidated Industries Berhad (SCIB) via Ennova Sdn Bhd.
