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.

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.

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.

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 - Pages (1143): « Previous 1 … 816 817 818 819 820 … 1143 Next » Jump to page:
