‘99.9%’ PAS grassroots pleased with Khairuddin’s removal, says Hadi Posted by: superadmin - 01-21-2022, 03:02 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: About “99.9%” of PAS grassroots are said to be pleased with the decision to drop former minister Khairuddin Aman Razali from its central committee, party president Abdul Hadi Awang said. He said there was no need for PAS to elaborate on the matter or issue an official statement, despite calls to do so, Utusan Malaysia reported. Hadi said it was clear that Khairuddin’s ouster was linked to disciplinary issues and was an internal matter that need not be publicised. “There’s no need (for an official explanation), such opinions calling for an explanation to be provided are isolated, and I was informed that 99.9% of the grassroots were pleased,” the Malay daily quoted him as saying. - More -   AG must probe conflicting accounts in Azam Baki case, says lawyer Posted by: superadmin - 01-21-2022, 02:57 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The contradiction between Azam Baki’s admission that his brother used his account and the Securities Commission’s (SC) findings that he was solely responsible for any trading must be referred to the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC). DAP’s Ramkarpal Singh said it was only appropriate for the AGC to step in now to investigate the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief’s alleged securities law breach. “The conflicting accounts with Azam first saying his trading account was used by his brother, while SC later saying the account was used by Azam only is enough to arouse suspicions. “It’s enough to get the AGC to open an investigation into the matter,” he said. He added that a source within the SC who told FMT that it need not refer the matter to the AGC was wrong, as it was common to have the attorney-general review such findings. He also asked the SC to state if the source’s claim was also its official stand. - More -   Sultan has final say over Johor snap polls, says lawyer Posted by: superadmin - 01-21-2022, 09:53 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The Sultan of Johor has the final say on whether the state legislature will be dissolved and snap elections held, a lawyer said. Bastian Pius Vendargon said that under the state constitution, only the menteri besar, in his capacity as the head of the executive, can approach the ruler to request for a dissolution. “As stated under the Second Part of Article 7, the Sultan has the discretion whether to accept the menteri besar’s request to dissolve the legislature,” he told FMT. Vendargon said this in response to a statement by Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob that he will leave it to the state government to decide whether snap polls should take place. - More -   No notice received to dissolve state assembly, says Johor speaker Posted by: superadmin - 01-21-2022, 09:47 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Johor state assembly speaker Suhaizan Kaiat has denied receiving a letter on the dissolution of the assembly to make way for state polls. He said his office has not received any letter or verbal notice from the Johor menteri besar on the matter. “Nothing at all,” he said on reports over a notice to dissolve the assembly. A news portal had reported that a letter to dissolve the assembly was sent by menteri besar Hasni Mohammad to the speaker’s office. Citing Umno sources, it said the state assembly would be dissolved on Sunday after the application was approved by the Johor palace. - More -   Can Muhyiddin survive Johor elections? Posted by: superadmin - 01-21-2022, 09:41 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Bersatu leader Muhyiddin Yassin may be caught between a rock and a hard place if elections are called in Johor, analysts say. Senior fellow at Nusantara Academy for Strategic Research (NASR) Azmi Hassan said Umno is pushing for elections in the state to test Muhyiddin’s strength and support in what was once considered Barisan Nasional’s (BN) stronghold. “One of the main reasons is to finish off Bersatu and put Muhyiddin in an awkward position during GE15 (the upcoming general election). “That is why Umno is pushing for the state polls,” he told FMT. Azmi said elections in Johor, which could take place just after Chinese New Year, would provide a stern test for Bersatu. - More -   Not safe to have GE15 this year, govt told Posted by: superadmin - 01-21-2022, 09:38 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Health activists have cautioned the government against calling for a general election until there is an appreciable improvement in the Covid-19 situation. Azrul Mohd Khalib of the Galen Centre for Health and Social Policy and former deputy health minister Dr Lee Boon Chye said there should not be any eagerness to have the election this year just because last December’s Sarawak election did not lead to a spike in Covid-19 cases. - More -   MACC fiasco: people have the right to ask questions on SC’s decision on Azam – Gobind Posted by: superadmin - 01-20-2022, 09:21 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PRIME MINISTER Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has asked everyone to accept the decision of the Securities Commission (SC). He said they have investigated Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief Tan Sri Azam Baki and after investigations, a decision has been made and we must accept that decision. This call by the prime minister demonstrates a total failure of leadership on his part and a total failure on part of his government to deal with institutional problems which have a huge impact on our country. The prime minister must accept the fact that people have every right to ask questions, especially in cases where there are concerns over decisions made by the authorities. He cannot just ask people to sit back and accept such decisions. In this case, no reasons were at first given explaining why the inquiry was unable to conclude that Section 25(4) was breached. When pressed for an answer, the SC issued a second statement. That statement alluded to independent evidence which appears to contradict what Azam Baki said in a press conference on January 10. I want the prime minister to explain this. If he is unable to, then who is he to insist that we just accept such a decision? - More -   Impact of Undi18, automatic voter registration on Malaysian politics – Thomas Fann Posted by: superadmin - 01-20-2022, 09:05 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies SO, Undi18 and Automatic Voters Registration (AVR) are finally implemented.  Two-and-a-half years after the historic constitutional amendments to lower the voting age in Malaysia from 21 to 18, after some delays, backpedalling on the timeline to implement and a court order to implement it by the end of 2021, it is a done deal. In simple terms, if there is an election after January 16, 2022, any 18-year-old citizen and above can walk into their designated polling station, present their MyKad and vote without having to pre-register. Here are the data as released by the Election Commission (EC) on January 12. - More -   Calls for Johor snap polls a ‘political manoeuvre’: analysts, opposition Posted by: superadmin - 01-20-2022, 09:54 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – With Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) harping on the narrative of political stability as the endgame for having a snap election in Johor, analysts and an opposition politician instead believe their intentions are far more deeply-rooted than it appears. Even as Johor Umno leaders themselves attribute the need to return the mandate to the people as sufficient reason to call for polls, others see it as a calculated political manoeuvre by leaders on the party’s hierarchy in a move to stamp their authority in Umno. Among the Umno personalities who have been openly endorsing the idea of statewide polls is party vice-president Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin. He has been candid about the need to reassert political stability within the state government, especially expressed on social media. Khaled has also remained consistent in his stance that the people’s mandate must be returned through the ballot box, even reaffirming his point when contacted by The Vibes. However, when pressed to comment on the notion of polls in Johor being a mere smokescreen for disputes higher up the leadership chain, Khaled declined to comment. - More -   Has Lee Zii Jia left BAM for a colossal seven-figure contract with KLRC? Posted by: superadmin - 01-20-2022, 09:47 AM - Forum: Badminton - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – According to sources within the national badminton fraternity, it is rumoured that national shuttler Lee Zii Jia will be joining the resurrected Kuala Lumpur Racket Club (KLRC) for a whopping amount to the tune of seven figures. “I am not sure about the exact details but it is rumoured that this million-ringgit contract will be for two to three years. “It is disappointing if this news is true because the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) has done everything for Zii Jia. “If the decision was based on monetary reasons, he should have discussed it with the president of BAM to come up with the best solution,” said the source. If KLRC is the next destination for Zii Jia, he would be joining former national women’s shuttler Goh Jin Wei, who quit BAM in September last year due to health concerns but has since signed a three-year contract with KLRC earlier this month. The source also questioned whether BAM could have been the trigger for these players’ departure from the national association. “If she had quit BAM due to health concerns, how is she back on the court within four months and with a different club?” the source added. Earlier today, news broke that Zii Jia had turned in his letter of resignation to BAM. BAM president Tan Sri Mohamad Norza Zakaria said they had received his letter on January 11 in which Zii Jia explained that he could not handle the pressure and wants to pursue his career at his own pace. Zii Jia had previously brought home the men’s singles gold medal from the 2019 SEA Games and also went on to win the 2021 All England Open Badminton Championship. − The Vibes, January 19, 2022 Pages (1273): « Previous 1 … 850 851 852 853 854 … 1273 Next » Jump to page:
