YOURSAY | Maybe 'muda' optimism is exactly what we need Posted by: superadmin - 01-23-2022, 08:45 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Myviews: Well done, young ones. Do not be afraid of what others say. Go ahead and chase your dreams. If you fall, pick yourself up and go at it again. The road ahead is full of bumps and potholes, but persevere and you will eventually achieve what you set out to do. For those of us in our old age, we may not live long enough to see your achievements but as long as we're here, we will support you. As far as we could see, Muda looked like a one-man party. That's not to say it's not good, but we think it might be a better idea if the party allow some of its key officeholders to take on a higher profile. Let them occasionally come out with media statements. When your officeholders have a higher profile, it would be easier to identify them should they eventually stand as candidates in elections. HardTruth: It's so refreshing to see new voices and fresh ideas. Our nation is heading towards self-destruction as we speak, thanks to the endless scandals and idiotic leaderships at key government institutions. The future of the nation belongs to the youth and the time to change is now. If Muda is organised and effective in promoting and implementing what it preaches, support for the party will surely come. - More -   Umno’s Nur Jazlan slams the door on PAS for Johor poll Posted by: superadmin - 01-22-2022, 09:47 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies JOHOR BARU, Jan 22 — Johor Umno deputy chief Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed said there was no need for his party and the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition to cooperate with PAS for the still unannounced state election here. He said it should already be clear by now that BN will be contesting on its own in the premature Johor poll and the 15th general election. “This means that there won’t be any cooperation between Umno and PAS or the Muafakat Nasional (MN) alliance, no matter what PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Mat said. “That is his right. For me, let us leave it to fate after this,” said Nur Jazlan when met at the Johor Umno liaison office in Jalan Yahya Awal here today. - More -   ‘Desperate Umno court cluster’ forced Johor polls, says Bersatu man Posted by: superadmin - 01-22-2022, 09:41 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Bersatu information chief Wan Saiful Wan Jan believes the decision to call for snap elections in Johor is down to the “court cluster” of Umno VIPs trying to stay in power and divert attention from their court cases. “Perhaps the court cluster is increasingly desperate and feels that the only way to escape being imprisoned is by tearing apart the separation of powers,” he said on Facebook. “I won’t be surprised if Johor will be followed by other states. Such is the reality of desperate people who are power-hungry and afraid of prison.” - More -   More Islamic Studies classes only a problem for ‘some people’, says Idris Posted by: superadmin - 01-22-2022, 09:39 PM - Forum: Educations - No Replies SHAH ALAM: Complaints that more hours have been allocated for Islamic Studies lessons over core subjects are only the views of some, said religious affairs minister Idris Ahmad. He said he found the complaint “strange” as the matter had never cropped up. “However, it is normal in our large community (for some people to complain). Perhaps, it is because they don’t understand or do not want to understand,” he said at the opening of Madrasah Tahfiz OKU Ata ‘bin Abi Rabah here today. He was commenting on a tweet by a Malaysian father who expressed shock to find out that his daughter’s school had allocated more hours for religious studies and other related classes than for Mathematics and Science classes combined. Writing in a Twitter thread, the man posted a photo of his daughter’s school timetable and said there were 5.5 hours of Pendidikan Agama Islam and other related classes in a week compared to Mathematics and Science, which had been allocated 2.5 hours and 1.5 hours respectively.

Zii Jia, the All-England, champion quit the national body to go professional and was speculated to join hands with a Taiwanese badminton equipment manufacturer for a five-year contract worth RM8 million. In return, yesterday BAM decided to ban the player for two years, which did not go down well amongst Malaysians, who slammed the institution on social media over their decision on Zii Jia. What many are not aware about is that former national badminton player and three-time Olympic silver medallist Datuk Lee Chong Wei stepped in the last minute to calm things down and stop BAM from announcing the ban. - More -   Johor polls a prelude to push for GE15, claims DAP leader Posted by: superadmin - 01-22-2022, 05:18 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: A DAP leader has claimed that Najib Razak, Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and his deputy Mohamad Hasan are pushing for a snap general election so they can remain in power. Johor DAP chairman Liew Chin Tong said the former prime minister and Zahid – both accused of corruption and associated with Umno’s “court cluster” – have been strategising since May 2018 to place the party in a dominant position. This is to ensure that both of them walk free from their alleged crimes, he claimed. “The (coming) Johor snap election is the product of the power struggle within Umno. The snap election brings no benefit at all to the people,” Liew said on Facebook today. “To put it in the simplest terms, the Johor snap polls is just the first salvo for a snap general election, which will be Najib’s and Zahid’s ‘get-out-of-jail’ pass.” - More -   Johor Umno agrees to polls, Hasni to meet Sultan Posted by: superadmin - 01-22-2022, 05:14 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies JOHOR BAHRU: Johor menteri besar Hasni Mohammad says he will be going to the palace for an audience with the state ruler following a state government meeting later this afternoon. When met by the media, Hasni said he had already received approval from Johor Umno earlier today to hold the state elections. “I will be having a press conference at 6pm. But first I have to meet with the state’s executive committee and then I will be going to the palace where I have been granted an audience with Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar,” he said. “Everything will be revealed at 6pm. The main thing is that Umno has agreed to a state election.” Source: FMT   LHDN must order tax audit on Azam over share purchase, says lawyer Posted by: superadmin - 01-22-2022, 03:35 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: A senior lawyer has asked the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) to step in and audit Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Azam Baki to ascertain if he had made the necessary declarations on his shareholdings that are in question now. SN Nair said what the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) declared was based on whether he had violated the specific act that showed whether he was in control of his share trading account. “Now it has been proven that he was in control, therefore he must have financed the purchase. “As he may have made profits during the period, a LHDN audit will show if he has violated the Income Tax Act. - More -   Ismail likely to be just a temporary PM, says analyst Posted by: superadmin - 01-22-2022, 09:21 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Ismail Sabri Yaakob is unlikely to move beyond being a temporary prime minister as he lacks the vision and charisma to chart the nation’s future, says a political analyst. Oh Ei Sun of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs said Ismail was a caretaker prime minister at best and predicted that the Umno vice-president would only remain in the top post until the next general election (GE15). He told FMT that the main faction in Umno was confident of winning the next general election and installing its own man for the top post, while Ismail lacked grassroots support. “This administration has been a weak and somewhat reluctant marriage of political convenience from the very onset. As such, it is quite commonplace that members or powerful advisers of the administration would feel free to voice their opinions. - More -   Stupidity and the planet of the apes Posted by: superadmin - 01-22-2022, 09:16 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies It’s about time Malaysia imposes a mandatory IQ test on ministers and politicians. Yup, we are the laughing stock of the world again. With our ministers as jokers, who needs comedians like Harith Iskander. In defence of the Malaysian palm oil industry, plantation industries and commodities minister Zuraida Kamaruddin assaulted the animal kingdom by making the unbelievable claim that planters were not harming orangutans, but that the primates were more likely to kill humans. An excerpt of her speech began circulating on social media this week and is currently trending on Twitter. However, Zuraida said on Thursday that her “orangutan will kill you” remark was taken out of context. She said the video clip had been edited in a way to cast aspersions on her. In the video, Zuraida said: “Even lions and tigers also, when they see, they don’t kill them. They have to have some kind of procedure to faint [sic] them and take them to the zoo. We have all these procedures. We don’t simply kill orangutans.” However, the February 2018 issue of Global Citizen reported data from 36,555 orangutan habitats which reported a drastic decline of the orangutan population in Borneo between 1999 and 2015, leaving the primate population at less than 148,000. The report said the palm oil industry was the main culprit for mass orangutan die-offs, as the relentless and often unregulated pursuit of palm fruit led to deforestation and wildfires throughout Borneo. - More - Pages (1271): « Previous 1 … 846 847 848 849 850 … 1271 Next » Jump to page:
