  ‘Shang-Chi co-star Ronny Chieng wishes Malaysians a happy Malaysia Day
Posted by: superadmin - 09-18-2021, 06:58 PM - Forum: Celebreties News - No Replies

DESPITE finding success in the United States with a gig on The Daily Show and a burgeoning acting career, comedian and actor Ronny Chieng is glad to show off his Malaysian roots.

Wishing Malaysians a happy Malaysia Day, the Johor Baru-born actor and comedian, as part of promoting the impending release of Marvel’s ‘Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’ (coming to Malaysia on October 7), brandished his red Malaysian passport.

He also delivered some (accented) Bahasa Malaysia phrases that we are all too familiar with to establish his Malaysian credibility.

“Number one, I still have a Malaysia passport okay, look at this, what more proof do you need?

“Number two, I still use my ‘lah’ and ‘meh’ all the time like ‘boleh lah’, ‘can meh’, ‘can lah’.

“And number three, I can still order like a pro at the kopitiam.”

  We need to escape poverty: fisherwoman files petition urging resumption of PSI
Posted by: superadmin - 09-18-2021, 06:41 PM - Forum: Business. Economy and Investment - No Replies

BALIK PULAU – While Zakaria Ismail ascended as a hero among fishermen for successfully setting aside the environmental impact assessment (EIA) approval for the controversial Penang South Islands (PSI) project, one particular fisherwoman thought otherwise.

Instead of a circumstantial hero for the future, Fajinah Jaafar deems Zakaria to have destroyed the livelihoods of the fishermen by halting the project.

A day after learning that the appeal board decided last week, under the Environmental Quality Act 1974, to side with Zakaria, Fajinah decided to file a petition to apply for the PSI project to continue.

The 60-year-old fisherwoman said that she was disappointed to learn that the PSI project was stalled, as she thought the project could provide a better future for the fishermen.

“I want this project to continue, which is why I, with my sister’s help, am willing to collect signatures and support from those who want the PSI project to continue,” she told The Vibes when met at her home in Kuala Sg Pinang here.

Fajinah said she has collected 930 signatures so far, 421 of them from fishermen and 509 from the public.

She explained that she did not want to make an online petition on social media as she did not want members of the public to question the validity of her work, and so decided to collect it “manually” with pen and paper.

  Withdraw appeal against citizenship ruling, Johor Sultan tells govt
Posted by: superadmin - 09-18-2021, 06:04 PM - Forum: Stop Gender Inequality - No Replies

[Image: sultan-ibrahim-johor-bernama-140520-1.jpg]

PETALING JAYA: Johor’s Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar today urged the government to abort its plans to appeal the recent High Court decision allowing citizenship rights to children born overseas, regardless of whether the Malaysian parent is the father or mother.

Sultan Ibrahim said all children born to Malaysian parents abroad must be accorded the right to citizenship in this country.

“The sanctity of the courts must be upheld. Why discriminate against Malaysian mothers with overseas-born children?

“This is a basic right of every child, irrespective of whether the Malaysian parent is the father or mother.

“It doesn’t feel right that Malaysian fathers and mothers are viewed differently in the eyes of the law concerning their child’s citizenship.

China’s returning “space heroes” emerged from their capsule and waved to the waiting cameras after their successful re-entry on Friday after 90 days working aboard the country’s Tiangong space station.

Speaking to a CCTV journalist at the landing site, Commander Nie Haisheng said he believed there would be more Chinese astronauts to follow their achievements, who would “set new records and reach new heights” in space travel.

The three astronauts  who spent a record three months on China’s Tiangong space station landed safely on Friday, completing a journey that set a milestone in the country’s ambitious space programme. “We all feel great,” Nie told the Beijing command centre before leaving the capsule.

  Backlash over dolphin, whale hunting drives Faroe Islands to relook practice
Posted by: superadmin - 09-17-2021, 11:47 AM - Forum: Environment Protection News - No Replies

[Image: 20210917-pilot_whales-aFP.jpg]

COPENHAGEN – The Faroe Islands, an autonomous territory of Denmark, said yesterday it will take another look at the practice of dolphin hunting after the slaughter of more than 1,400 of the mammals earlier this week sparked an outcry.

“The government has decided to start an evaluation of the regulations on the catching of Atlantic white-sided dolphins,” Prime Minister Bardur a Steig Nielsen said in a statement.

“Although these hunts are considered sustainable, we will be looking closely at the dolphin hunts, and what part they should play in Faroese society.”

The comments come in the wake of an outcry over the culling of more than 1,400 dolphins on Sunday, in what was said to be the single biggest hunt in the North Atlantic islands.

Traditionally, the Faroe Islands – which has a population of around 50,000 – hunt pilot whales in a practice known as “grindadrap”, whereby hunters first surround the whales with a wide semi-circle of fishing boats and then drive them into a bay to be beached and slaughtered.

Normally, around 600 pilot whales are hunted every year in this way.

But photos showing more than 1,420 Atlantic white-sided dolphins in a fjord near Skala in the centre of the islands on Sunday sparked outrage on social media.

Veteran fishermen plead for Penang three-island reclamation project to be approved for the sake of future generations

[Image: psr_supporter4_fishing_boat_13092021.jpg]

GEORGE TOWN, Sept 17 — There are about 700 fishermen and residents in Permatang Damar Laut who are fully supportive of the controversial three-island reclamation project off the southern coast of Penang island, according to some veteran fishermen there.

One of them is Fajinah Jaafar, 60, who has been fishing off the coast of Permatang Damar Laut for over 40 years.

The single mother has relied on fishing as her main source of income to raise her two sons for decades and she fully believes that the proposed reclamation project will be beneficial for fishermen and residents in the area.

  Friction among Taliban pragmatists, hard-liners intensifies
Posted by: superadmin - 09-16-2021, 08:08 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

[Image: 1000.jpeg]

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Friction between pragmatists and ideologues in the Taliban leadership has intensified since the group formed a hard-line Cabinet last week that is more in line with their harsh rule in the 1990s than their recent promises of inclusiveness, said two Afghans familiar with the power struggle.

The wrangling has taken place behind the scenes, but rumors quickly began circulating about a recent violent confrontation between the two camps at the presidential palace, including claims that the leader of the pragmatic faction, Abdul Ghani Baradar, was killed.

The rumors reached such intensity that an audio recording and handwritten statement, both purportedly by Baradar himself, denied that he had been killed. Then on Wednesday, Baradar appeared in an interview with the country’s national TV.
