  SIS calls for removal of stigma on teen pregnancy

PETALING JAYA: A women’s rights group has pointed to the possibility that the recent stabbing death of a newborn in Kemaman might not have happened if attitudes towards pregnant teenagers were less harsh.

The stigma of shame attached to teenage pregnancy might have caused the young mother to kill her baby, said Sisters in Islam (SIS) communications officer Aleza Othman

  When have we Malaysians ever really been free?
Posted by: superadmin - 02-10-2022, 09:19 AM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (1)

Of late, there have been many protests around the world by those who reject the new controls and restrictions being imposed in the face of the continuing onslaught of the coronavirus.

Central to their argument, is the notion of freedom. They scream and protest “…give us our freedoms back, we will not be enslaved”.

Equally vociferous, on the opposite side, are those who advocate mandated booster shots, continued controls, and restrictions. They want to name and shame those who resist inoculations and incarcerate those who don’t follow the regulations.

Their argument is also about freedom, “…control and sort this mess out, so that we can be free again”.

Both sides of the divide claim the moral high ground for freedom.

But were we ever “free”?

I see myself as a fairly even-minded person. I have always told myself that I am the master of my own destiny, and that I will act on my convictions.

  Be apolitical in interpreting the constitution, CJ tells judges
Posted by: superadmin - 02-09-2022, 09:45 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

KUALA LUMPUR: Though judges must remain apolitical, when it comes to interpreting the Federal Constitution, they must also have regard to the political and social context in which it was drafted, Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat said.

This is because judicial decisions were subject to public confidence in the judiciary, she added.

  Umno’s embrace of non-Malays had better not be an election ploy
Posted by: superadmin - 02-09-2022, 08:03 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

[Image: K-Parkaran-Columnist-3-.jpg]

The political intrigues of the “Sheraton Move” that brought down Pakatan Harapan in 2020 has also cast a pall on the optimism shared by many Malaysians that the nation will, one day, provide fair and equal opportunities for all irrespective of ethnicity.

The downfall of Pakatan Harapan led to Perikatan Nasional taking over with an almost completely Malay-Muslim government. Of course, Umno gave its shoulders to lift up PN and nudge out PH.

The party openly claimed that PH had at least eight non-Muslim Cabinet ministers, which Umno claimed was not good for national unity. Ironically, this happened in the year 2020, the year when Mahathir Mohamad’s vision of a mature Bangsa Malaysia society, with minimal reference to racial origins, was supposed to flower.

We are still fighting hard to regain our position as a nation that is fair to all.

  Mahathir’s Pejuang facing a wipeout at Johor polls
Posted by: superadmin - 02-09-2022, 06:13 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

[Image: Pejuang-menghantar-periuk-nasi-FB.jpg]

PETALING JAYA: Two analysts predict that Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s new Pejuang party will be wiped out at the Johor state elections, especially if the party contests 42 seats on their own.

Oh Ei Sun of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs said Pejuang would be lucky to win even one of the 56 state assembly seats.

Although Mahathir, the Pejuang chairman, remained an appealing figure to many voters, the party lacked grassroots machinery, Oh said.

“Ultimately, Umno, with its gargantuan mobilisation of grassroots, would almost certainly win by default in most Malay-majority constituencies, followed by a big distance by PAS. Pakatan Harapan and Bersatu would count themselves lucky if they could win at most half of what they did in 2018,” he added.

  ‘We are happy to fight you’: tensions rise on Afghan-Pakistani border
Posted by: superadmin - 02-09-2022, 03:42 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

The Pakistani-Afghan border, running along Britain’s colonial-era Durand Line, is a centre of the increasing tensions between Islamabad and the Taliban, with a rise in attacks since the group came to power in Kabul.

Five Pakistani soldiers were killed on Sunday at a north-western border post in Khurram district by militants inside Afghanistan in an attack claimed by the Pakistani Taliban, Tehreek-e-Taliban-Pakistan (TTP).

After a ceasefire between the group and the Pakistani government collapsed within weeks, the Pakistani foreign minister, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, said Islamabad had told the Afghan Taliban leadership it considered TTP as a test case of its ability to control militants.
