Xi's virtual summit with Macron, Scholz to encourage Europe-Russia direct talks over Ukraine
Chinese President Xi Jinping had a virtual summit with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Tuesday in Beijing, supporting France and Germany in promoting a balanced, effective and sustainable European security framework for the interests and lasting security of Europe.
Xi emphasized the need to jointly support the peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, while encouraging the two sides to maintain the momentum of negotiations and calling for maximum restraint to prevent a massive humanitarian crisis.
Experts said that the latest talks between Chinese and European leaders showed that China and Europe share similar stances and interests on the Ukraine situation, signaling that the two sides can effectively coordinate and cooperate on solving the Ukraine crisis and injecting new hope for an endgame of this crisis. As China also shares strategic mutual trust with Russia, it is expected to play a constructive role in helping tackle the current crisis, experts said.

KOTA KINABALU: An Undi18 activist is concerned that young voters will not turn out in numbers for the Johor state elections this Saturday.
Qyira Yusri, co-founder and education director of Undi18, said she had been in Johor for more than a week talking to many youths who told her that they did not even know they were qualified to vote.
“They still think the minimum age is 21 (to be able to vote). They don’t even know that they are automatically registered,” she said at an online forum by Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS) called “Malaysia Outlook Conference 2022” today.
Qyira said she found out during her visit to remote areas in Johor like Felda settlements that there was no hype on the state elections.

From Murray Hunter
It has long been known that a significant number of non-Malays have migrated to other countries in search of more opportunities and a better life.
Names like Jimmy Choo, Tsai Ming-Liang, Kwen Liew, Zang Toi, Yuna, Bernard Chandran, Tan Hock Eng, Ng Yi-Ren, James Wan, Pua Khein-Seng and Penny Wong come up, just to name a few successful expatriate Malaysians.
In addition, there are thousands of expatriate Malaysians running or holding key positions in companies in Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, and even the US.
Current statistics of the brain drain from Malaysia are difficult to come by, as it is a sensitive issue. What we do know is that the brain drain slightly decreased from 2016, and dramatically dropped when Pakatan Harapan won government in 2018 and the Covid restrictions began in 2020. However, recent media reports indicate that Malaysia’s brain drain is increasing at the rate of 6% per annum once again.

PAGOH: Dr Sahruddin Jamal, the former Johor menteri besar who won the Bukit Kepong seat on a Pakatan Harapan ticket in 2018, has professed confidence in his ability to retain the support of non-Malay voters although he has switched his allegiance to Perikatan Nasional.
Speaking to FMT, he claimed that the Chinese and Indians in the constituency knew him well because of the three health clinics he was operating.
“The Indian and Chinese communities knew me even before GE14,” he said. “I’ve been serving them through my clinics since 2011.”
Non-Malays made up 30% of the voters in Bukit Kepong in 2018.
Sahruddin said it was his custom to disregard race when inviting people to events he would organise.

PETALING JAYA: Academics say there is a need to include ethnic minorities in public and social spheres in Malaysia, given the dwindling non-Bumiputera population size.
Lee Hwok Aun of the Singapore-based ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute said with the shrinking number of Chinese and Indians in Malaysia, their voices and rights as minorities needed to be institutionalised.
“Public institutions, the education system and society must purposefully ensure that minority identities and contributions are acknowledged, celebrated, and fair opportunities be given to them,” he told FMT.
“This is important to ensure social cohesion and democratic integrity,” he added.
