GEORGE TOWN – It is not unusual if pundits here predict that PKR is destined to be a goner in the next general election, but the party’s deputy chief in Penang has cautioned them not to underestimate its potential.
Sim Tze Tzin, who is also Bayan Baru MP, said that many critics have been slamming PKR since the 1990s, as the party was largely seen as an underdog despite having a substantial membership base.
Prior to the 2018 general election, Sim said, many political scientists had forecasted that PKR would lose badly, especially since its leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was then behind bars.
“What happened in 2018 was that PKR alone delivered up to 50 (parliamentary) seats.

BANGKOK: India made history today by winning the Thomas Cup for the first time with a ruthless 3-0 upset of reigning champions Indonesia in Bangkok.
The Indian team, competing in their first final of the men’s team championship, sealed the title when world No 11 Kidambi Srikanth defeated Jonatan Christie 21-15, 23-21.
A devastated Indonesia, the tournament’s most successful team having previously won it 14 times, could not keep pace with the fire brought by the Indian team – who joyfully rushed the court following Srikanth’s win.
India were already 2-0 up, with Lakshya Sen beating Anthony Ginting in the first singles match and then Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty defeating Mohammad Ahsan and Kevin Sukamuljo in the doubles.

PETALING JAYA: Umno members take a crucial vote today on an amendment to its constitution which has the aim of cementing party unity ahead of the next general election.
A failure to do so could divide the party, which is the lynchpin of Barisan Nasional.
The amendment is to allow the 2021 party elections, already postponed until Dec 30 this year, to be held six months after the next general election.
Umno leaders have been divided about when to hold the party elections, although the party’s general assembly in March had decided to hold them after the general election.

PETALING JAYA: The Singapore dollar hit an all-time high against the ringgit two weeks ago, as Malaysia continues to play catch-up with its neighbour across the Causeway in the post-pandemic recovery journey.
While Johor menteri besar Onn Hafiz Ghazi said the weakened ringgit would attract Singaporeans to come to Malaysia and spend, state opposition leader Liew Chin Tong said there was a need for a long-term plan to keep Malaysians home.
Though the ringgit appreciated slightly on Thursday against the Singapore dollar, many might wonder if the currency could ever fully close the gap.
