| Group to ‘profile’ MPs to educate voters ahead of GE15 |

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.

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.

| UN human rights chief called to see Xinjiang's devt objectively despite US pressure |

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.

MS: Like most people in my situation would confirm, leaving the country was a bittersweet experience for reasons which are too numerous to enumerate.
Suffice it to say, the push was greater than the pull at that point in time. Now, however, after all the water that has run under the bridge, I view the place I left behind as an anachronism, a curiosity to be watched with a zoo-like intensity, a circus which entertains and helps pass the time.
Would I return? Yes, because the place does offer value for money for shopping and holidays, especially now that the exchange rates are so favourable to visitors.
Seriously, the trajectory the country is on is irreversible, and articles like this only reassure those who left that they did right.

| Ex-CJ detached from reality, says Ramkarpal after MACC remarks |

PETALING JAYA: DAP MP Ramkarpal Singh has criticised former chief justice Mohamed Raus Sharif over his remarks on the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), describing the former judge as “a man detached from reality”.
This comes after Raus said a politician’s appointment as the MACC chief commissioner had cast doubt on its credibility. He was believed to be referring to Latheefa Koya, who led the anti-graft agency from June 2019 to March 2020.
In a statement, Ramkarpal said Raus’ remarks suggested that MACC had the public’s confidence before Latheefa’s appointment, adding that this “cannot be further from the truth”.
The Bukit Gelugor MP pointed out how Latheefa had unveiled leaked audio recordings between former prime minister Najib Razak and former MACC chief Dzulkifli Ahmad in 2016, which he said gave the commission’s image a beating.

(May 25): Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said while New Zealand welcomes more investment in the Pacific region, it doesn’t support increased militarization and is urging nations to be transparent about their intentions.
She was commenting after China said its Foreign Minister Wang Yi will be touring Pacific island nations later this week, including the Solomon Islands after the countries formalized a security pact in April. Ardern said the Pacific is a “contested region” and noted that the US is also seeking to engage there.
“We want cooperation in areas where we have shared concern, like climate adaptation and mitigation,” Ardern told reporters. “We want quality investment in infrastructure. We don’t want militarization. We don’t want an escalation in tension. We want peace and stability.”

| Ex-national shuttler Ewe Hock laments M’sia’s sluggish badminton state |

KUALA LUMPUR – “Outdated” and “backward” were the words former national shuttler Ong Ewe Hock used to describe the state of Malaysia’s current badminton scene.
After a disappointing Thomas Cup and Uber Cup outing for the national teams in Bangkok, Thailand earlier this month, Malaysia is evidently no longer a powerhouse in the sport.
This has irked Ong, who called for the entire Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) management to take responsibility for this debacle and step down.
Speaking to The Vibes, Ong said that Malaysia is outdated, and other countries have overtaken the national team.
Having a decorated badminton career himself, Ong could not believe what is happening to Malaysian badminton, as he was of the opinion that the sport is on the verge of going into the doldrums.

UVALDE – An 18-year-old gunman killed 18 children and 3 adults at an elementary school in Texas yesterday, in the deadliest US school shooting in years.
The attack in Uvalde, Texas – a small community about an hour from the Mexican border – is the latest in a spree of deadly shootings in America, where horror at the cycle of gun violence has failed to spur enough action to end it.
Governor Greg Abbott, addressing a news conference, said the gunman was believed to have shot his grandmother before heading to Robb Elementary School at around noon, abandoning his vehicle and entering with a handgun, and possibly also a rifle.
“He shot and killed, horrifically and incomprehensibly, 14 students and killed a teacher,” Abbott said earlier before the death toll rose even higher.
