Najib’s malicious prosecution suit has no basis, says ex-AG Posted by: superadmin - 03-01-2022, 01:29 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR: Former attorney-general (AG) Tommy Thomas has denied that his move to strike out Najib Razak’s 1MDB malicious prosecution suit was an attempt to prevent his “wrongdoings” being aired in court. He said that the former prime minister, who is currently standing trial for 1MDB-related charges, has “no legally sustainable claim under local laws”. “The averment that I formed an opinion about his guilt before assuming the AG’s office is untrue. “My conduct before my appointment is not relevant to the exercise of my discretion as the public prosecutor,” he said in his affidavit in reply. - More -   Washington bears 'special responsibility' for Russia-Ukraine situation Posted by: superadmin - 03-01-2022, 11:12 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies The military conflict between Ukraine and Russia will enter its sixth day on March 1.  The war has created new divisions and confrontations on a global scale. It also makes the situation of the battlefield, the European and even the global situation more complicated and uncertain. But we must note that under current circumstances, the door for a peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian issue is not completely closed. A Ukrainian delegation reportedly arrived in Belarus on Monday for negotiations with Russia, and the talk took place in the afternoon of the same day. Although both parties and the outside world hold little hope for a breakthrough in a short period of time in the negotiations, returning to the negotiating table is always a good start. The world's truly peace-loving countries and forces should make good use of this seemingly weak turnaround and do more to promote peace talks rather than adding fuel to the fire. Information on the Russia-Ukraine military conflict is rapidly changing, getting far more confusing than it was previously, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from falsehood. In this process, the US' public opinion war is getting more and more intensifying. We have noticed that some voices are attempting to create a very misleading and an extremely wrong theory of "China's special responsibility." They even fabricate disinformation to smear and slander China's image by virtue of the Russia-Ukraine crisis. It must be pointed out that the public opinion of the US, as an important party in the Russia-Ukraine crisis, is completely made to defend US interests. It aims to push China to fill the hole dug by the US and the West, although China is not a party to the crisis. Such a practice is neither decent nor fair. - More -   PSM candidate directs his focus on helping the working class Posted by: superadmin - 03-01-2022, 09:36 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies JOHOR BAHRU: The sole socialist candidate in the Johor state elections wants to offer the people of Kota Iskandar “alternative politics” that focuses on helping the working class and marginalised communities. Film director R Arangkannal of Parti Socialis Malaysia, said racial politics had dominated the political landscape in the country for far too long, resulting in neglect of major issues and challenges afflicting the majority of the people. - More -   Disillusioned Pontian voters say they’re done with politicians Posted by: superadmin - 03-01-2022, 09:05 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PONTIAN: While election fever is heating up politicians, people in the coastal town of Pontian, famous for its fresh seafood, were as cool as the weather on Saturday afternoon, with just a few families picnicking by the Johor seaside. While a smattering of party flags could be seen around town after candidates filed their nomination papers, there seemed to be little buzz about the state elections, as also reflected in the sentiments of several voters who spoke to FMT. Jalaludin Zainal, 60, said he had become dissatisfied with all political parties following the pandemic and the recent floods in Johor, expressing disappointment in how elected representatives were barely present in times of crisis. - More -   K’tan’s Pasir Mas residents describe flood as worst in 40 years Posted by: superadmin - 03-01-2022, 08:33 AM - Forum: Environment Protection News - No Replies PASIR MAS – Residents of Kg Lubok Jong here described the flood that hit the area on Friday as the worst in 40 years. One of the residents, Zuraiha Awang, 47, said that the continuous heavy rain for the past three days had caused the area around her residence to be flooded last night. “During the 2014 flood, the water level entering my house was only about 0.3m deep, but this time the floodwater level reached almost 2m. “My family and I had to wade through 1m deep floodwater for 200m to reach the main road to stay at a relative’s house in a nearby village,” she said when met by reporters at Kg Repek here today. Meanwhile, Abdul Fatah Noh, 47, from Kg Seberang Merbau, said that the flood this time was also the worst he has experienced since he settled in the village more than four decades ago, and it was totally unexpected. “Water started entering the house while I was having dinner on the upper floor and I didn’t realise the situation until the water hit the floor at 2m deep. “I had to borrow a boat from a neighbour to cross the floodwaters for 200m. I had to ferry my mother (Saudah Mat Zain, 71) who is ill, in the boat to safety,” he said. Meanwhile, the Disaster Info app of the Social Welfare Department reported that as of 2pm today, the Pasir Mas district has the highest number of flood evacuees in the state, at 5,784 people, who are currently housed in 19 temporary relief centres. – Bernama, February 28, 2022   PN likely to be out of Johor govt after polls, say analysts Posted by: superadmin - 03-01-2022, 08:25 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: A crowded field in the Johor state elections, especially with the entry of smaller parties for the first time, will benefit Barisan Nasional (BN), with Perikatan Nasional (PN) likely to lose its place in the state government after March 12, according to analysts. They say while this assessment is based on current political developments and how Malaysians tend to vote, any difference would come from younger voters, if at all they come out to cast their ballot. - More - I paid a steep price for refusing to disband Umno, says Zahid Posted by: superadmin - 03-01-2022, 08:24 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Ahmad Zahid Hamidi tonight said he paid a steep price for refusing to dissolve Umno and bring its members over to Bersatu. The Umno president said he was subsequently slapped with 87 counts of corruption when he spurned Dr Mahathir Mohamed’s offer. “When I stood firm and refused to listen to Mahathir’s directive to dissolve Umno, I was not left alone. One by one, steps were taken to teach me a lesson for my stubbornness,” he said in a Facebook post. Mahathir was then the chairman of Bersatu, which is largely seen as an Umno splinter party. He resigned in 2020, hours after stepping down as the prime minister. - More -   DAP man slams school for inviting Najib to speak Posted by: superadmin - 03-01-2022, 08:14 AM - Forum: Politics - Replies (2) PETALING JAYA: DAP’s Tony Pua has slammed a top Chinese school for inviting former prime minister Najib Razak to speak at its Johor Bahru branch. Pua, who is Damansara MP, criticised the school’s board of governors for allowing this to happen. “The school’s board of governors has set the worst possible example for our children,” he said in a Facebook post today. He said Foon Yew High School, a top Chinese independent school, had invited a “world-renowned kleptocrat”. Pua said inviting Najib to speak at the school showed the students that “it was acceptable to cheat, lie, steal and abuse power”. He demanded that the school governors be sacked for “a complete lack of integrity” in failing to set a good example to students. “Education has always been at the heart of the Chinese community,” he said. “But if this is the direction the school governors are taking us, then we are on a path to a slow but certain decay and malaise in our culture and dignity.” Najib is said to have spoken at Foon Yew High School’s Seri Alam branch last Friday and allegedly promoted Barisan Nasional ahead of the March 12 Johor elections.

It provides world leaders with a gold standard summation of modern climate science at a time when there are fears Russia’s invasion of Ukraine could distract policymakers from taking coordinated action. “As current events make all too clear, our continued reliance on fossil fuels makes the global economy and energy security vulnerable to geopolitical shocks and crises,” U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said on Monday. The world’s leading climate scientists on Monday warned human-induced climate change is causing dangerous and widespread disruption in nature, with people and ecosystems least able to cope being the hardest hit. The highly anticipated report from the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, approved by 195 member states, makes clear that minor, reactive or incremental changes are no longer sufficient to tackle the climate emergency. The analysis provides world leaders with a gold standard summation of modern climate science at a time when there are fears Russia’s invasion of Ukraine could distract policymakers from taking coordinated action. - More - Pages (1293): « Previous 1 … 843 844 845 846 847 … 1293 Next » Jump to page:
