PETALING JAYA: Muhyiddin Yassin is Bersatu’s pick for prime minister should Perikatan Nasional (PN) win the next general election (GE15), a Bersatu Supreme Council member revealed today.
Razali Idris said the Bersatu president was the most deserving candidate to be re-appointed as prime minister, as he had proven his ability to govern the country for 17 months previously.
“Bersatu will propose Muhyiddin as the prime minister candidate as he was forced to resign previously after being rejected by 15 MPs, especially from Barisan Nasional (BN). He was not rejected by the people.
“Muhyiddin will also be the prime minister candidate because he is the party president. This compares with Umno which could only propose its vice-president (and current prime minister) Ismail Sabri Yaakob,” he told reporters at an event in Kuala Terengganu yesterday, Berita Harian reported.
Razali said he also found it “weird” that Umno proposed a leader who was in the third tier in the party, when by normal convention, parties would nominate their party president.

From P Ramasamy
It is hilarious to hear that Pejuang is positioning itself to lead the opposition to fight the Umno-led Barisan Nasional (BN) in the next general election (GE15) with its anti-corruption agenda.
Pejuang’s chairman and former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad thinks the party can lead the battle against Umno/BN the way it was done in the last general election (GE14) in May 2018.
Mahathir might have led PH then, but he was the same person responsible for undermining the then ruling coalition, leading to its downfall as a result of the infamous Sheraton Move.
It is not whether Pejuang can lead the PH coalition. Instead, the question is whether the coalition is going to trust Mahathir again.
Once bitten, twice shy.
Mahathir can talk about being the champion of the anti-corruption crusade in the country.

The Shenzhou-13 crew have safely returned to Earth after their epic six-month orbital trip, which nearly doubled the previous record of China's longest single-flight space mission of 92 days set by the Shenzhou-12, some eight hours after the manned spacecraft's detachment from the Tianhe core module.
The return capsule executed touchdown around 9:56 am at the designated Dongfeng landing site in North China, and the ground rescue and recovery arrived the landing point after the feat with high precision and efficiency.
Apart from the long-term stay in space, the mission has set many records and firsts in the country's manned space history.
The Shenzhou spacecraft developer, China Academy of Spacecraft Technology (CAST), disclosed in a statement sent to the Global Times that the Shenzhou-13 mission also explored emergency mission mechanisms for the first time, with the Shenzhou-14 manned spacecraft and Long March-2F Y14 rocket in standby position right after the launch of the Shenzhou-13 and Long March-2F Y13. This enabled a potential space rescue of the Shenzhou-13 taikonauts in case of any malfunction preventing the spacecraft from returning to Earth.

PETALING JAYA: After successfully launching an online donation app last year to help those financially affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, a teen programmer says he wants to convert it into a more permanent platform.
When 18-year-old Tong Jing Yen created Bersamamu – a free mobile app that allows Malaysians to give and receive donations such as food, clothes and books – he only managed to rack up around 270 downloads on Google Play Store.
Nearly a year later, he has helped over 1,000 users, with more than 100 requests and donations submitted by the community.
Tong said the number of users has since declined significantly as the country is slowly returning to normal after numerous lockdowns, but that does not mean it is the end of the road for Bersamamu.

PETALING JAYA: Umno’s Annuar Musa says the time has come for Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob to be appointed the Barisan Nasional chairman.
This comes after Umno agreed to propose Ismail, who is a party vice-president, as its prime ministerial candidate for the 15th general election (GE15).
“As a prime ministerial candidate, Ismail must be given as much space as possible to establish a new administration,” said Annuar, the communications and multimedia minister.
He said Ismail should also be appointed the BN election director for GE15.

KUALA LUMPUR: Two lawyers have called for disclosure of the terms of an out of court settlement between the government and former attorney-general Apandi Ali over his sacking in 2018.
One of them, R Kengadharan, said confidentiality clauses would not apply as it was a public interest suit that involved Putrajaya and former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad against Apandi.
He told FMT attorney-general Idrus Harun should reveal the outcome of the case since monetary compensation was involved.
The other lawyer, Syed Iskandar al-Mahdzar, said private individuals or corporate entities were entitled to settle defamation or contractual disputes as compensation would be paid from private funds.

PETALING JAYA: Despite Umno pouring cold water on the possibility of extending the memorandum of understanding (MoU), a PKR leader says “it is not impossible” for the MoU to be extended.
Earlier today, the Umno Supreme Council decided that the MoU between the federal government and Pakatan Harapan (PH) will not be extended any further after it ends this July.
