Bersatu won’t join Muafakat Nasional, says Muhyiddin Posted by: superadmin - 02-04-2022, 08:57 AM - Forum: Politics - Replies (1) PETALING JAYA: Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin said the party will not join Muafakat Nasional (MN), the alliance established by Umno and PAS. Bersatu agreed to join MN in August 2020, but their membership was not formalised following a worsening spat between Bersatu and Umno. “I’ve already forgotten about MN. There’s no need to bring it up anymore,” he said in a statement. “After all, Umno also decided during its general assembly (last year) not to work with Bersatu. So what is there to bring up?” He added that Bersatu had already decided not to join MN. “There are benefits to Bersatu not working with Umno. Bersatu won’t get caught up in the moral issues that plague Umno leaders.” Muhyiddin was previously reported as saying that he believed the party’s participation in MN was part of a “grander coalition” that was needed to help the country “move forward”. - More -   Dr M’s ‘shoo’ controversy - memory gaffe or selective memory? Posted by: superadmin - 02-04-2022, 08:52 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Dr Raman Letchumanan: I think the gaffe by Marina Mahathir was intentional, hoping no one would pick it up. You were successful in having that gaffe in your book, largely because many may not have bought the book and read it. But when I read your column in the Sunday Star (yes, I do buy the print version of the weekend Star to see the other side of 'news' reporting), I immediately knew it was a grave mistake, more so blaming the gaffe on his late political rival. Was it deliberate? Lies are not printable, period. Even so, it should have been immediately corrected. Your father didn't correct you? So I see your apology as not sincere, but as someone caught lying through the teeth and trying to sound apologetic. I admired your writings once, but now I see you and your father acting as good cop and bad cop. We have a long list of such noble people who seem virtuous but turn turtle at some point in time. Just look at our (Dewan Rakyat) speaker. It also begs the question if blatant lies can be published and propagated as truth, what about opinions, views, advocacy, preaching, etc. I guess anyone with power, authority, rich or famous can publish whatever rubbish they want in any media. By the way, I used to travel almost every fortnight to Asean countries in my official line of work. One could see the tremendous progress in leaps and bounds in these countries. We are now lower in terms of GDP compared to Vietnam. At this rate, soon, we are going to be the sick man of Asean. At that point, it is Malaysians who will turn into 'boat people' seeking livelihood on the shores of Vietnam, Cambodia or Indonesia. But I trust our Asean neighbours would not 'shoot us on sight'. Lord Black Adder: The irony is that the Vietnamese boat people left for greener pastures, and the new generations have done well in the countries that chose to adopt them as citizens. Some have even returned to their country of origin, seeing it in much better shape now than the country whose shores they landed on to seek refuge. Meanwhile, the coastal villages in Malaysia where the boat people first sought sanctuary are still living in abject poverty. - More -   Charles Evans - As We Rise Again Posted by: superadmin - 02-03-2022, 03:50 PM - Forum: Musics - No Replies   Huawei opens largest overseas store in Riyadh Posted by: superadmin - 02-03-2022, 03:47 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies RIYADH – The Chinese tech giant Huawei launched its largest overseas store in the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh yesterday. Visitors to the Huawei flagship store, which spans over 2000 square metres with a minimalist design, can enjoy a rich full-scenario experience with immersive demonstrations of Huawei’s latest smart devices and technologies in 5G, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and mobile cloud service, said Xinhua. Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Investment Khalid Al-Falih said Saudi Arabia welcomes Huawei’s increased commitment to the kingdom, as the organisation continues to expand its presence in the region. For his part, Eric Yang, CEO of Huawei Tech Investment Saudi Arabia, noted that Huawei is committed to supporting the goals of the kingdom’s Vision 2030 to achieve digital transformation and consolidate the kingdom’s position as a technology hub in the region. – Bernama, February 3, 2022   I Witnessed God Creating The Universe | Near Death Experience Posted by: superadmin - 02-03-2022, 03:37 PM - Forum: Interesting Videos - Replies (3)   Since Bersatu’s support for PM is conditional, expedite GE15, says Puad Posted by: superadmin - 02-03-2022, 02:27 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Umno Supreme Council member Puad Zarkashi today said an early general election will settle the issue of “threats” by Bersatu over its support for Umno and Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob. He said elections would allow the prime minister more freedom to govern freely and dismiss “unreasonable requests” such as for the post of deputy prime minister. Puad said that given the government’s weak majority in Parliament, there will be constant annoyances and threats from other parties. - More -   More than $320 million stolen in latest apparent crypto hack Posted by: superadmin - 02-03-2022, 01:36 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies Wormhole, one of the most popular bridges linking the ethereum and solana blockchains, lost about $320 million in an apparent hack Wednesday afternoon. The two blockchains are popular in the world of DeFi, where programmable contracts can replace lawyers and bankers in some transactions, and NFTs. But few users stick with one blockchain exclusively, so bridges like Wormhole are a necessary go-between. One of the most popular bridges linking the ethereum and solana blockchains lost more than $320 million Wednesday afternoon in an apparent hack. It is DeFi’s second-biggest exploit ever, just after the $600 million Poly Network crypto heist, and it is the largest attack to date on solana, a rival to ethereum that is increasingly gaining traction in the non-fungible token (NFT) and decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystems. Ethereum is the most used blockchain network, and it is a big player in the world of DeFi, in which programmable pieces of code known as smart contracts can replace middlemen like banks and lawyers in certain types of business transactions. A more recently introduced competitor, solana, is growing in popularity, because it is cheaper and faster to use than ethereum. - More -   Judge Zabidin moves up to Federal Court, Nazlan to Court of Appeal Posted by: superadmin - 02-03-2022, 01:27 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR: Court of Appeal judge Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah has been elevated to the Federal Court while High Court judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali has been promoted as Court of Appeal judge.

With two days to go before the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games, the Olympic Village has opened to athletes, journalists and other relevant personnel from all over the world. A reporter from Japan told the Global Times that he was impressed by the strict anti-epidemic system for the Games, saying that the efforts are "well-thought-out" and made him reassured in the "real bubble" in Beijing. The journalist, who entered the closed-loop on January 27, shared with the Global Times on Wednesday his experience and feelings about China's anti-epidemic work for the Games.   "In Japan, I've started preparations from downloading 'My 2022' app, reporting my daily physical conditions, obtaining vaccination certificate, taking the PCR test, obtaining green code and applying for customs declaration, etc," said the journalist under the condition of anonymity. - More -   Covid will always be an epidemic virus — not an endemic one, scientist warns Posted by: superadmin - 02-03-2022, 10:23 AM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies Last week, the WHO warned that the next Covid variant will be even more contagious than omicron. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an epidemic occurs when the number of cases of a disease increases, often suddenly, above what is usually expected. The WHO declares a disease a pandemic when its growth is exponential and it is spreading globally. Covid-19 will never become an endemic illness and will always behave like an epidemic virus, an expert in biosecurity has warned. Raina MacIntyre, a professor of global biosecurity at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, told CNBC that although endemic disease can occur in very large numbers, the number of cases does not change rapidly as seen with the coronavirus. “If case numbers do change [with an endemic disease], it is slowly, typically over years,” she said via email. “Epidemic diseases, on the other hand, rise rapidly over periods of days to weeks.” Scientists use a mathematical equation, the so-called R naught (or R0), to assess how quickly a disease is spreading. The R0 indicates how many people will catch a disease from an infected person, with experts at Imperial College London estimating omicron’s could be higher than 3.  If a disease’s R0 is greater than 1, growth is exponential, meaning the virus is becoming more prevalent and the conditions for an epidemic are present, MacIntyre said. - More - Pages (1267): « Previous 1 … 828 829 830 831 832 … 1267 Next » Jump to page:
