Najib a ‘liar par excellence’ for 1MDB lies, says Khalid Samad Posted by: superadmin - 05-18-2022, 09:11 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad had some choice words for former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, such as “clown par excellence” and “master riddler” following last Thursday’s public debate with opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Khalid, who is also Amanah communication director, mocked Najib for his claims that “not a single sen of the rakyat’s money” had been used to pay 1Malaysia Development Bhd loans, saying this makes the Umno man a “liar par excellence”. He noted that Najib has yet to retract the statement although past and current finance ministers had highlighted it as nothing more than a blatant lie. “His (Najib) claim that he did not know that millions of dollars were deposited into his personal account which he uninhibitedly spent, while not knowing it was there, made many laugh uncontrollably, until they realised it was their money, of course. “No one is able to make his audience switch from laughter to tears so effortlessly and seamlessly like DS Najib. He is no doubt also a clown par excellence!” said Khalid in a statement yesterday. - More -   Press must not be obstructed when carrying out duties – Malaysian Bar Posted by: superadmin - 05-18-2022, 09:06 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies THE Malaysian Bar refers to the recent reports of a security guard in Pudu Urban Transformation Centre (UTC) who harassed two reporters from media outlet The Vibes. According to reports, the reporters were subjected to verbal intimidation and obstructed from doing their job while they tried to take photographs and speak to individuals queueing at UTC.  Reporters and journalists serve a pivotal role in our society, and they must be allowed to do their jobs without fear of being intimidated, assaulted and harassed. Press freedom is a hallmark of a mature democracy – the news carried by them shed light on the workings of our public institutions. A responsible and free press informs us about public affairs and educates us through sparking intellectual debate and discussion, which then facilitates good governance. Press freedom is interconnected with the right and freedom of speech and expression under Article 10 of our federal constitution. Earlier this year, Malaysia’s placing in the 2021 World Press Freedom Index compiled by Reporters Without Borders had plummeted from 101 to 119. - More -   YOURSAY | Hero’s homecoming for PM, but Jokowi get to meet Musk Posted by: superadmin - 05-18-2022, 09:03 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies OCT: There were no real investments brought back by Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob - all he did was attend the Asean-US summit and observed some memorandum of understanding or letter of intent being signed. The rakyat are well aware of the “rent-a-crowd” concept where a few ringgit, free meals and a goodies bag will get you a hero’s welcome. A real PM would do their work silently without fanfare, like Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).  The PM did have some meetings with some big US corporations, but it’s all talk without any real commitment. It will be difficult for the business community there to understand his mixture of Bahasa Malaysia and English during these meetings. This type of leader is always more interested in his image rather than doing an honest day’s work. BobbyO: Looking at India’s victory in the Thomas Cup, it shows how far nations have gone forward. Today, nations like China, India, Singapore, Vietnam and even Indonesia have taken giant strides in improving the quality of life and income of their citizens. Since former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s tenure in leading the country, we have moved backwards. Instead of finding ways to improve the nation, our leaders are busy trying to improve their own image by having these paid supporters show how popular they are. The nation’s reputation may be going down the drain, but they are more concerned about themselves. How did the directors of a public-listed company get away with a mere slap on the wrist after they were accused of falsifying their accounts? What signal does that send to foreign investors? Can the PM and his supporters explain what the working trip to the US, paid with taxpayers’ money, achieved? How many investment projects were signed? How many American investors are going to come to this nation? We should be giving a hero’s welcome to a real hero. It looks like our citizens’ priorities are moving in the wrong direction. - More -   GT Voice: As US policy poses risks, SE.Asia should enhance yuan cooperation Posted by: superadmin - 05-17-2022, 07:14 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies With the US kicking off a drastic tightening cycle by raising its benchmark interest rate, Southeast Asian countries appear to have again faced a new wave of economic turbulence that is sweeping through their economies, stock markets and currencies. As of Monday's close, Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh Stock Index plunged nearly 20 percent in May, while Indonesia's Jakarta Stock Exchange Composite Index fell by more than 9 percent, with the Indonesian rupiah's exchange rate against the US dollar hovering around its April 2021 low. Other Southeast Asian markets have also fared poorly in recent days. While there is no major negative news about their economies in the market and it was not long ago that Southeast Asian markets were considered as a new promised land for global capital investment due to the region's rise in manufacturing strength, investors' appetite seems to have changed dramatically. - More -   Traders at wit’s end over rising flour prices Posted by: superadmin - 05-17-2022, 07:09 PM - Forum: Business. Economy and Investment - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – The price of wheat flour is expected to increase following India’s immediate ban on wheat exports as the country seeks to bolster its food security.  The implication of the ban would certainly result in a lack of flour stock in the market, as wheat is the main ingredient. To some extent, it could lead to a spike in food prices. Among those who would be affected are the bakery operators, mamak restaurant owners and bread manufacturing companies.  If the price of flour increases, Malaysian Muslim Restaurant Owners’ Association (Presma) president Datuk Jawahar Ali Taib Khan said the cost of raw materials for restaurateurs would also increase. Jawahar said flour is one of the main ingredients used in daily meals at mamak restaurants, especially the all-time favourite roti canai and mee. - More -   We won’t give Wan Fayhsal Bagan Serai seat, says PAS chief Posted by: superadmin - 05-17-2022, 07:05 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: PAS will not give way to Bersatu Youth chief Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal to contest the Bagan Serai parliamentary seat in the 15th general election (GE15), says the Islamic party’s Bagan Serai chief Abdul Aziz Abdul Majid. “He received no mandate from the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition at the state or federal level to contest the seat,” Aziz was quoted as saying in a Sinar Harian report. He described Wan Fayhsal’s announcement that he would be contesting the seat as “inappropriate”. - More -   US shooter embraced racist ‘replacement’ theory online Posted by: superadmin - 05-17-2022, 02:59 PM - Forum: Stop Racism and Religious Bigotry - No Replies WASHINGTON – The teenager charged with shooting dead 10 African-Americans at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York followed an insidious racist creed gaining ground among white Americans that minorities are taking over society. The 18-year-old suspect Payton Gendron took explicit inspiration from the white supremacist gunman who murdered 51 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2019. The Christchurch killer had warned in a manifesto of a “Great Replacement” of white Christians of European descent by Blacks, Jews, Muslims, Latinos, and others, a theory that has found an increasing echo in American right-wing politics and on cable news. Lifting often word-for-word from the rambling text, Gendron produced a chilling 180-page manifesto of his own – in which he stated his goal: to “kill as many blacks as possible”. Gendron himself came from a rural town in New York state that had a very small number of non-white residents. - More -   See the ‘bigger picture’ of Muslim unity, says PAS veep Posted by: superadmin - 05-17-2022, 08:44 AM - Forum: Stop Racism and Religious Bigotry - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Muslim unity, and not political survival, is the reason PAS continues to defend its ties with Umno via Muafakat Nasional (MN), PAS vice-president Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar said. He said PAS saw the “bigger picture” of Muslim unity and would continue to hold talks with Umno to ensure that their cooperation continues, Berita Harian reported. The fate of the alliance, which came about in 2019, has been in doubt because of differences between Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and PAS leader Abdul Hadi Awang. “We will continue to hold talks with Umno to ensure the cooperation continues even though some leaders consider MN dead and buried,” he said, according to the report. Last month, Perlis Umno chief Azlan Man described the pact between the two largest Malay parties as “dead”. MN was established in September 2019 as an electoral pact aimed at uniting the Malay-Muslim vote. However, ties between the two parties have grown increasingly strained after PAS joined Bersatu to form Perikatan Nasional when Muhyiddin Yassin was the prime minister. In February, an Umno leader admitted that MN was “merely a marriage of convenience”. Hadi had rejected the pact in November, describing it as akin to being “shackled”.
