Crazy to ‘enforce’ BM in civil service, says Rafidah Posted by: superadmin - 05-28-2022, 04:37 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Rafidah Aziz has slammed Chief Secretary to the Government Zuki Ali for calling on the public service department (JPA) to consider punitive measures to “enforce” the use of Malay in the civil service. The former international trade and industry minister said civil servants’ competence in English used to be a key driver in attracting high-quality foreign investments. Rafidah pointed out that when she was leading the international trade and industry ministry (Miti), she had asked for all of the ministry’s communications to be conducted in English, to ensure efficiency in the delivery of its services. “Every year, the private sector honoured Miti with the annual enterprise award. Communication was facilitated and effective. - More -   3,000 Liverpool fans expected at Champions League final screening party Posted by: superadmin - 05-28-2022, 04:34 PM - Forum: Football - No Replies PETALING JAYA: More than 3,000 Liverpool fans will be “partying” at the KL Gateway Mall when their club takes on Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League final in Paris tonight. A spokesman for the event organiser said all tickets for the event have been snapped up with fans coming from as far as Singapore, Sabah, and Sarawak. Ridzal Ismail of MJ Event said despite the match being shown here at 3am (Sunday morning) Malaysian time, fans are still willing to come out and watch the final in such large numbers. He believes it is because they have been deprived of match-day gatherings over the last two years as a result of the Covid-19 restrictions. “This is going to be a gala event with a lucky draw and quiz sessions among others beginning at 10pm and going right through to 3am tomorrow when the match starts. We believe that Liverpool fans have been waiting for this moment hoping to see the giants lift a third trophy this season,” he told FMT. - More -   ADUN SPEAKS | Leadership change in Harapan Posted by: superadmin - 05-28-2022, 04:29 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies By P Ramasamy ADUN SPEAKS | Who said Malaysians who want change for the better are dejected or defeated? Far from it. Of course, those who want a better and more responsible government might have felt defeated when Pakatan Harapan was ousted through the nefarious Sheraton Move. A move which was intended in the guise of safeguarding race and religion. In practice, it was something else. Not all in the opposition wanted Dr Mahathir Mohammed to lead the Harapan coalition. It was not alright to argue that he was needed to help the coalition cross the finish line. - More -   Blinken’s long-awaited China policy address 'unexciting' Posted by: superadmin - 05-27-2022, 10:51 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies US Secretary of State Antony Blinken delivered a speech on the country's China strategy on Thursday, describing China as the "most serious long-term challenge to the international order" but stressed the US does not want a new Cold War.  Experts said that the seemingly "soft" rhetoric cannot cover the truth that the US top envoy is using an "artificial argument" to cast China as a particularly "tough, big guy" that people cannot be messed with while the US is "a little poor." That once again proves US officials' hypocrisy as the country has been using fine words but never stops doing the bad things, experts said.  Even as the war rages in Ukraine, Blinken said that the US remains focused on China as the country has "become more repressive at home and more aggressive abroad." Blinken made it clear that the US will shape the environment around Beijing with the approach being summed up in three words: invest in US competitiveness, align with allies and partners, and compete with China.   - More -   China holds an unprecedented, massive videoconference on the economy Posted by: superadmin - 05-27-2022, 09:28 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies “The difficulties, in some areas and to a certain degree, are even greater than the severe shock of the pandemic in 2020,” Premier Li Keqiang said during a nationwide videoconference Wednesday, according to a CNBC translation of a Chinese-language state media report. A state media news broadcast Wednesday showed large conference rooms of people from different provinces tuning into the meeting. There hasn’t been such a meeting of this scale for years, and it’s unprecedented for one meeting to address so many levels of government at once, said Zong Liang, chief researcher at the Bank of China.  BEIJING — China held a rare nationwide meeting via teleconference Wednesday to bolster an economy battered by Covid. The timing and scale indicated to analysts the level of urgency and current challenges for the country to achieve its target of around 5.5% GDP growth for the year. “The difficulties, in some areas and to a certain degree, are even greater than the severe shock of the pandemic in 2020,” Premier Li Keqiang said during the videoconference, according to a CNBC translation of a Chinese-language state media report. He warned how the economy is at a “critical point” for determining its full-year trajectory, and called on officials to “work hard” — for growth in the second quarter and a drop in unemployment, the report said. Mainland China has tried to contain its worst Covid outbreak since early 2020 by using stringent stay-home orders and travel restrictions, most notably in the metropolis of Shanghai. Foreign companies have reported lost production and sales as a result. - More -   Top financiers and millionaires just met up in the Swiss Alps Posted by: superadmin - 05-26-2022, 09:28 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies Top financiers and millionaires just met up in the Swiss Alps. And the mood was terrible While some foresaw regional pockets of recession in countries or continents particularly exposed to the Russia-Ukraine war and global supply chain problems – with Europe a particular concern – others painted a bleaker global picture. Inflation has soared worldwide, with food and energy costs skyrocketing as the war and supply chain bottlenecks bite, along with the residual effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The world’s financial elite gathered in Davos, Switzerland, at the World Economic Forum this week, and a darkening global economic outlook was the number one talking point. While some foresaw regional pockets of recession in countries or continents particularly exposed to the Russia-Ukraine war and global supply chain problems — with Europe a particular concern — others painted a far bleaker global picture. Inflation has soared worldwide, with food and energy costs skyrocketing as the war and supply chain bottlenecks bite, along with the residual effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. This has forced central banks to start tightening monetary policy against a backdrop of slowing economic activity. - More -   America Gun Problem Exposes The Truth of America's Failing Democracy Posted by: superadmin - 05-26-2022, 07:53 PM - Forum: Politics - Replies (5)   Group to ‘profile’ MPs to educate voters ahead of GE15 Posted by: superadmin - 05-26-2022, 07:05 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR: A coalition of more than 20 NGOs plans to release the “profiles” of MPs before the upcoming elections (GE15) to allow voters to make more informed decisions about the candidates. At a press conference here today, Gabungan Bertindak Malaysia (GBM) executive council member Jeffrey Phang said specialised software would be used to create the profiles, which could be accessed online and would include their personal details and news articles related to them. Phang said news articles featuring current MPs would be included in their profile so as to provide the public with a record of the politicians’ previous statements, which he said would be useful when voters go to the ballot box. The candidates would also be asked for their stance on policies in the Manifesto Rakyat, a compilation of policy recommendations that was launched today. - More -   Zuraida to quit Bersatu, join PBM Posted by: superadmin - 05-26-2022, 11:04 AM - Forum: Politics - Replies (7) PETALING JAYA: Ampang MP Zuraida Kamaruddin will be quitting Muhyiddin Yassin’s Bersatu to join newly formed Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM). In a statement today, the plantation industries and commodities minister said she will be meeting Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob soon to discuss her resignation from the Cabinet. Nonetheless, she maintained that she would continue supporting Ismail’s government, in line with PBM’s stand. Zuraida had joined Bersatu after being sacked from PKR in the wake of the Sheraton Move in 2020. Source: FMT   UN human rights chief called to see Xinjiang's devt objectively despite US pressure Posted by: superadmin - 05-26-2022, 10:58 AM - Forum: Politics - Replies (1) While UN human rights chief Michelle Bachelet is about to visit Northwest China's Xinjiang region, the US government together with anti-China forces have taken active moves - either by opposing the visit or releasing a so-called leaked document from Xinjiang to abduct Bachelet as their puppet to neglect what she will see in Xinjiang and to make a "genocide" conclusion with their narratives.  Analysts called on the UN chief to hold the bottom line of justice and objectively see Xinjiang's development. Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday met via video link with Bachelet. Xi talked about China's human rights development and stressed that each country should be allowed to explore suitable paths of human rights development based on national realities and warned against certain countries that lecture others on human rights, politicize the issue and use it as a tool to apply double standards.   - More - Pages (1344): « Previous 1 … 838 839 840 841 842 … 1344 Next » Jump to page:
