Anti-hopping law must not punish post-election alliances: Dr Mahathir Posted by: superadmin - 09-20-2021, 05:22 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – No anti-hopping law should penalise lawmakers from a single political party for forming alliances following a general election to get a simple majority for a federal government, said Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad (Langkawi-Pejuang).  The former prime minister said this is in the event that no single party or coalition has the majority support of MPs to take control of Putrajaya after the national polls conclude. As such, he said, there should be a clear definition of what constitutes party-hopping when drafting such a provision. “There are times during an election that no single party has enough MPs (to form a government),” he said in the Dewan Rakyat today when debating the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s speech. “In such a situation, there is a need for some parties to join the one with the most lawmakers to achieve a simple majority. - More -   Adele all but confirms Rich Paul is her boyfriend with new Instagram post Posted by: superadmin - 09-20-2021, 04:42 PM - Forum: Celebreties News - No Replies (CNN)Rumors have been swirling for months about the status of Adele's relationship status, but now she is making it official on her Instagram account. Adele, 33, and Rich Paul, 39, were first linked when Paul told the New Yorker in May they were "hanging out." The proof appeared in July when the couple attended Game 5 of the NBA Finals together, but since then it's all been speculation until today's post. The 'Hello' singer started the post with two images of her made up in a black and white gown, and ends with a black and white selfie with Paul. The caption is a simple heart emoji. - More -   China and the US were both born from armed conflict Posted by: superadmin - 09-20-2021, 03:14 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies China and the US were both born from armed conflict. They're now polar opposites on gun control (CNN)Last week, a 47-year-old man stormed into a law firm in China's Wuhan city and shot dead a lawyer who he had "some disputes with," according to Chinese state media. He then stuffed his gun, just under 20 inches (50 centimeters) long, into a tennis racket bag and left. The fatal shooting shocked many in China, which has some of the world's strictest gun control laws -- so much so, that some people thought initial reports were about yet another American shooting. "When my friend told me about the shooting, I thought it was the United States," one person wrote on the Chinese social media platform Weibo. Another user wrote, "Using a gun to kill people in China? Am I watching an American movie?" That disbelief widely reflects how rare gun crime is in China -- in contrast to it being a daily reality in the US. The two countries stand on opposite ends of the spectrum of gun control, with the right to bear arms legally protected and vehemently defended in one, and a near-total ban on civilian firearm ownership in the other. - More -   Malay rights groups dispute recognition of UEC for tertiary study Posted by: superadmin - 09-20-2021, 01:55 PM - Forum: Stop Racism and Religious Bigotry - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – In recent weeks, the opposition over the recognition of the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) has reignited among Malay rights groups even though the current government has not indicated interest to move forward with the issue. Malay rights umbrella group Pembela has been airing its opposition on its social media platforms, with its chairman Aminuddin Yahaya saying that giving the UEC recognition is akin to “a betrayal of our grandchildren, our ancestors, the education system and the country’s harmony”. Some UEC opponents say this issue is a litmus test for newly minted Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob and his administration. For now, Education Minister Datuk Mohd Radzi Md Jidin, who was retained from the previous Perikatan Nasional administration, has not brought up the UEC issue, besides clarifying last August that UEC holders have been accepted since 2011 for the Bachelor’s Degree in Teaching programme (PISMP) specialising in Chinese language at teachers’ training institutes. - More -   Ministerial posts constitutionally unmandated offered as ‘bribes’ for lawmakers: Dr M Posted by: superadmin - 09-20-2021, 01:50 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – The appointment of politicians into the government and given ministerial ranks is a form of bribery, said Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad (Langkawi-Pejuang). Speaking in the Dewan Rakyat, the former prime minister highlighted how several appointments have been made recently to fill up certain positions that are not provided by the federal constitution. “There is no criteria stating that ministerial ranks can be accorded to any appointment. But we know when they are given ministerial ranks, these individuals will enjoy all the benefits given to cabinet members. “This is a form of bribery, too, as it is not focused on the duty that is to be carried, but more on the benefits being given to these people,” he said in debating the royal address in Parliament today. - More -   Ex-IGP apologises to Kit Siang over ‘dividing’ country along racial lines comment Posted by: superadmin - 09-20-2021, 01:43 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR: Former inspector-general of police (IGP) Hanif Omar made an official apology to Lim Kit Siang today over allegations that the DAP veteran attempted to separate Peninsular Malaysia according to racial lines. In his apology statement before the court, Hanif retracted his statement made against Lim on Sept 6, 2018 at a forum held at Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) in Shah Alam. “I confirm that the plaintiff’s (Lim) arrest in 1969 was not on the basis that he called for the country to be divided according to racial lines,” he said before High Court judicial commissioner Quay Chew Soon. Lim had filed a defamation suit against Hanif in 2018 over the former top cop’s claim that Lim “wanted to split Malaysia along racial lines”, with the west coast for the Chinese and the east coast for the Malays. He alleged that Hanif’s remarks had ruined his reputation as an MP and a public figure. - More -   Anwar tells PAS minister not call Jerai landslides ‘act of God’ Posted by: superadmin - 09-20-2021, 01:41 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Anwar tells PAS minister not call Jerai landslides ‘act of God’, suggests logging to blame KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 20 — Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim criticised Natural Resources Minister Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan today after the latter categorised recent landslides at Kedah’s Gunung Jerai as an “act of god”.  In Parliament this morning, Takiyuddin said so when responding to Jerai MP Sabri Azit who asked what remedial actions the federal government was taking to ensure the affected areas would be safe. After Takiyuddin described the landslides as an “act of God”, Anwar interjected to tell the minister that such a response was unacceptable. - More -   No more white saviours, thanks: how to be a true anti-racist ally Posted by: superadmin - 09-20-2021, 12:57 PM - Forum: Stop Racism and Religious Bigotry - No Replies I felt overwhelmed: 40,000 hits to my website – 50 times more than the average month – plus 2,000 emails, people tagging me in social media posts to let their followers know they had signed up to my online anti-racism course – but not always actually signing up. The murder of George Floyd had thrown up a very apparent collective sense of white guilt around the world. I had been doing anti-racism work long before the summer of 2020, so I didn’t understand why – increased volume aside – some of these interactions felt so different to the usual business inquiries I receive. I felt there was such a sense of ownership over me, my time, my words, what I should talk about and when. The more boundaries I put up, the more they would trample over them. - More -   The orphans behind virus statistics Posted by: superadmin - 09-20-2021, 12:50 PM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies She became an orphan once she was born. Delivered prematurely by cesarean section, the infant first lost her mother, Davy Macias, 37, who succumbed to COVID-19 complications while intubated－never to see her daughter. The girl's father went next. Daniel Macias, 39, would get only a brief glimpse of her because he was being treated in the same hospital after contracting the virus. Less than two weeks later, he also died from complications relating to COVID-19. The girl was left without parents and a name. Many children will grow up in the US with a similar story. Nearly 114,000 of them have lost their parents, grandparents or caregivers during the country's COVID-19 outbreak, according to a paper published in The Lancet in July. Aside from the now 3-week-old girl, the Californian couple had four other children, aged 7, 5, 3 and 2. The Macias children are now being cared for by their grandparents. - More -   Boxer Manny Pacquiao to run for Philippine president in 2022 Posted by: superadmin - 09-20-2021, 12:41 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies MANILA (REUTERS) - Boxing star Manny Pacquiao said on Sunday (Sept 19) he will run for president of the Philippines next year, after railing against corruption in government and what he calls President Rodrigo Duterte's cozy relationship with China. Pacquiao accepted the nomination of his political allies during the national assembly of the faction he leads in the ruling PDP-Laban Party, days after a rival faction nominated Duterte's long-time aide, Senator Christopher "Bong" Go, as its presidential candidate. That faction nominated Duterte for vice president, a move that critics called a cynical ploy by Duterte to retain power. - More - Pages (1134): « Previous 1 … 845 846 847 848 849 … 1134 Next » Jump to page:
