  "WE'LL MEET AGAIN" by Sami J. Laine
Posted by: superadmin - 05-07-2022, 05:41 PM - Forum: English Songs - No Replies

Suddenly, you're nowhere to be found
I turn around and everything has changed
Looking for a way to work it out
I'm trying to find some peace to navigate
The oak tree where I met you
And the writing on the statue
I still remember every word you said
I'm not a soldier but I'm fighting
Can you hear me through the silence?
I won't give up 'cause there will be a day
We'll meet again
We'll meet again
Everything we wanted turned to gold (turned to gold)
The path we chose, the future on our side
Never thought I'd do this on my own (on my own)
But now, I wield the sword you left behind
The oak tree where I met you
And the writing on the statue
I still remember every word you said
I'm not a soldier but I'm fighting
Can you hear me through the silence?
I won't give up 'cause there will be a day
We'll meet again
We'll meet again
Dark for the sunrise
Clouds for a blue sky
Space for the travelling star
Strong from the inside
You're still my lifeline
I feel you wherever you are
The oak tree where I met you
And the writing on the statue
I still remember every word you said
I'm not a soldier but I'm fighting
Can you hear me through the silence?
I won't give up 'cause there will be a day
We'll meet again

Posted by: superadmin - 05-06-2022, 10:35 AM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies

Stocks pulled back sharply on Thursday, completely erasing a rally from the prior session in a stunning reversal that delivered investors one of the worst days since 2020.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 1,063 points, or 3.12%, to close at 32,997.97. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell 4.99% to finish at 12,317.69, its lowest closing level since November 2020. Both of those losses were the worst single-day drops since 2020.

The S&P 500 fell 3.56% to 4,146.87, marking its second worst day of the year.

  Why did govt settle Apandi’s ‘unlawful sacking’ suit, asks Dr M
Posted by: superadmin - 05-06-2022, 09:57 AM - Forum: Politics - Replies (1)

[Image: mahathir-Apandi-Ali.jpg]

PETALING JAYA: Dr Mahathir Mohamad has questioned why Putrajaya decided to reach a settlement with former attorney-general Apandi Ali in his suit against the government and Mahathir over his alleged “unlawful sacking” in 2018.

Mahathir said that when he was giving his statement to current Attorney-General Idrus Harun over the suit, Idrus told him the termination of Apandi’s services was according to procedure.


“He said the government and I advised the King rightly, for Apandi’s services to be terminated. So I was shocked recently to read that a settlement was reached outside the court between the government and Apandi, with the terms kept a secret.

  Umno snubs PAS in Terengganu, will contest all seats in GE15

PETALING JAYA: Umno will be contesting in all 32 seats in Terengganu for the upcoming general election (GE15), says Besut chief Nawi Mohamad.

“Umno, as well as Barisan Nasional (BN) have identified candidates who are credible and acceptable to the people. We will contest in all 32 state constituencies and eight parliamentary seats in GE15,” said Nawi at an Aidilfitri event.


He said Umno would be defending its 10 seats in the state assembly.

“We will be defending the Besut and Hulu Terengganu parliamentary seats and we will seize six more seats currently held by PAS,” he was quoted as saying by Berita Harian.

  YOURSAY | The dehumanisation of ‘others’, PAS-style
Posted by: superadmin - 05-06-2022, 09:35 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

GanMu: It is shocking and embarrassing indeed to read the denigrating terms used by the president of a religious party in describing those from other parties.

It is basic human decency to call another person by his or her name and use proper terms to refer to your opponents.

How can one expect to believe in PAS leader Abdul Hadi Awang and have respect for him when he calls fellow Malaysians "mice, cats and all sorts" but not the proper terminology such as "people with different race and religion" or "opponents who differ in opinion from us”?

Why is he so spiteful and full of hatred for his opponents? He has never learnt from this - that every human being is precious in this world.

We have been taught never to use such derogatory terms, even against our perceived enemies. To us humankind is the creation of God, we have no right to denigrate them.

We may have differences of opinion, religion and race, but we should learn to set aside these differences and live together towards a common goal. This is what every religion teaches us - "to love".

For the sake of good order, politics and religion should not and never mix. PAS, being a religious party, should confine itself to promoting Islam and teaching good values.

When these PAS leaders decide to become politicians, that’s when all hell breaks loose. They start naming and shaming all and sundry who come in their way and their religion takes a back seat.

Today's PAS leaders are more interested in the "benefits" that come with their positions in government. Having tasted that, they will go to any extent to not only retain what they have but try to get more by all means.

If Muslims want to support a Malay-only party, they have many choices in Umno, Amanah, Bersatu and Pejuang. PAS has to make up its mind – it’s either religion or politics. They can’t have the cake and eat it.

  Ukraine war hits German industrial orders in March
Posted by: superadmin - 05-05-2022, 07:18 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies

BERLIN – German industrial orders dropped sharply in March, official data published today showed, as the Russian invasion of Ukraine hit demand. 


Incoming orders were down 4.7% on the previous month in March, according to the federal statistics agency Destatis.

The drop was a “visible” indication of the impact the war in Ukraine is having on the German economy, the Economy Ministry said in a statement.

“Increased uncertainty is reflected in much more restrained demand, especially from the non-euro area,” the ministry said.

  Multi-ethnic parties struggle to shake off race-based polemics
Posted by: superadmin - 05-04-2022, 10:58 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

[Image: 14092020_-_sabah_DAP_flags-sairen.JPG]

GEORGE TOWN – Multi-ethnic parties in the country have not fared well in the past four state elections due to infighting and the inability to shake off the polemics of race and religion, which their rivals are pushing across, observed some political leaders.

However, the issue can be overcome if the parties championing diversity place more focus on the economy, instead of trying to take on race and religious-based parties who use pork barrel politics to obtain support on their terms, said Gerakan vice-president Datuk Baljit Singh.

FRANKFURT – German investigators today raided the Frankfurt offices of US bank Morgan Stanley in a probe related to “cum-ex” fraud schemes that cost European governments billions of euros in tax income, prosecutors said.

The Cologne prosecutor’s office was “carrying out searches” at the offices of a bank in Frankfurt, it said in a statement.

Morgan Stanley confirmed to Bloomberg News that its premises were being searched.

As well as offices, investigators had “searched the private homes of two suspects”, prosecutors said.
