Posted by: superadmin - 04-22-2022, 10:12 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies US President Joe Biden is expected to announce in the following days another round of military support to Ukraine, worth $800 million, Reuters reported on Tuesday. This would bring total US military aid to Ukraine since late February to well over $3 billion, Reuters said. On the same day, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said the US and Western countries it controls are doing everything to drag out Russia's operation as much as possible with "intentions to provoke the Kiev regime to fight to the last Ukrainian."  Also on Tuesday, CNN cited defense officials and sources familiar with US intelligence as saying that the US doesn't really know what happens to the weapons sent to Ukraine: whether they are armed as the US intended or whether the shipments ultimately end up in unexpected places. This being the case, though, the US is still working to enhance its military aid to Ukraine. - More -   Forests the size of S’pore to be cut down in Peninsular Malaysia, claims NGO Posted by: superadmin - 04-22-2022, 09:16 AM - Forum: Environment Protection News - No Replies Petaling JAYA: Peninsular Malaysia will see deforestation amounting to a minimum of 72,584.73ha in the near future, says an environmental group.

Umno won two back-to-back state elections ― Melaka and Johor ― with landslide majorities, spurring confidence that is now translating into a push for snap polls.  Shahril told Malay Mail in an interview recently that he is hopeful Umno will regain federal power in the 15th general election, rumoured to be planned for the third quarter this year - More - [/align]   YOURSAY | Minister’s snub of PSC makes mockery of Parliament Posted by: superadmin - 04-21-2022, 08:50 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Dr Raman Letchumanan: "They (Education Minister Mohd Radzi Md Jidin and his ministry) gave an excuse that the cabinet did not allow them to attend (a parliamentary select committee meeting)," PSC on education chairperson Maszlee Malik told Malaysiakini after they did not appear at the meeting on Wednesday (April 20).  In July 2021, I wrote this opinion piece where I stated that constitutionally the cabinet is answerable to the Parliament. In particular, Article 43 (3) of the Federal Constitution states: “The cabinet shall be collectively responsible to Parliament”. The parliamentary select committees (PSCs) are unanimously agreed by all MPs, both the government and opposition, to inquire into any matter of public interest and report to the Dewan Rakyat for further action. In this case, it was alleged that the same set of questions in a public exam (SPM) was administered to a subsequent batch of students. This strikes at the core principle of education - that no one should be allowed to copy or have an undue advantage and pass an exam. The government (cabinet) should rightfully be alarmed by this expose and take every opportunity to allay the fears of possible manipulation of our education system. However, the cabinet despite its constitutional obligation refuses to attend an inquiry by Parliament. The cabinet obviously has violated the Constitution. What is the punishment for that? For them to step down, at least? What is the prime minister's stand on this matter? Indeed, this goes against the basic principle of parliamentary democracy. The executive (cabinet) having given the full powers to govern the country, now refuses to answer to Parliament for their (mis)deeds, in other words, the rakyat. Earlier the MACC chief refused to attend an enquiry by Parliament citing deficiencies in the invitation over a scandal involving his shares ownership. Are the cabinet and government officials making a mockery of Parliament, the highest august institution of the country? I think the cabinet itself needs an education on our Federal Constitution. If this matter is not addressed properly and openly, the public cannot be blamed for looking down upon our education system, much maligned as it is. The Middle Man: Does that mean the PSC is toothless and powerless? The PSC must have the legal authority to summon any parliamentarian or cabinet member to sit in the hearing. Refusal to attend must warrant punishment like denial of privileges, suspension and if needed, even disqualification of being an MP.In addition, the PSC should also be empowered to take legal action to enforce its findings otherwise it makes a mockery of the PSC and its functions. - More - Pages (1346): « Previous 1 … 856 857 858 859 860 … 1346 Next » Jump to page:
