Rafizi Ramli seeks return to active politics, kickstarting career by running for PKR No. 2 post in April
KUALA LUMPUR, March 15 — Former PKR MP Rafizi Ramli today announced his comeback to active politics.
Once seen as PKR’s rising star, Rafizi, who withdrew from active politics in 2019, today said he is returning to the political arena to help his party and the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition draw more supporters for the next general election.
The former Pandan MP said that he would also be running for the position of PKR deputy president in the coming party elections in April.
“In my view, with the latest developments, multi-racial progressive politics is in jeopardy if PKR and PH continue to be the third coalition after failing to lure voters who are on the fence.

| MP SPEAKS | Najib’s imaginary 1MDB profits |

MP SPEAKS | Last week I said former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak was making a complete fool of himself by showcasing how financially illiterate he was, after claiming that the government could redeem 1MDB bonds early to save on interest.
This, as I have previously responded, is not practically possible as bonds are structured very differently from loans taken from banks.
Yesterday, Najib claimed that 1MDB could have instead made RM9.7 billion in profit. This statement only confirms that our former finance minister is indeed financially illiterate.
Najib wrongfully argued that, since there were only RM17 billion of debts to be repaid, if we were to sell Bandar Malaysia for RM12 billion, and enforce the Abu Dhabi guarantee of US$3.5 billion (RM14.7 billion), 1MDB would make a profit of RM9.7 billion.

BEIJING — China reported Tuesday better-than-expected growth in retail sales, fixed asset investment and industrial production to start the year.
The data releases combine the two months of January and February as is the Chinese statistics bureau custom to avoid distortions from the Lunar New Year holiday, which can fall in either month depending on the year.
Retail sales grew by 6.7% year-on-year, topping expectations of analysts polled by Reuters for growth of 3% from a year ago. Furniture was the only category within retail sales to decline, down 6%. Petroleum products and gold, silver and jewelry saw the greatest increases.
Fixed asset investment rose by 12.2%, well above the forecast for a 5% increase. Within fixed asset investment, that in high-tech manufacturing saw one of the largest increases, up by 42.7%. Infrastructure investment grew by 8.1%. Investment in real estate development rose by 3.7%, even as commercial floor space sold fell by 9.6%.
Industrial production also beat, up by 7.5% versus expectations of 3.9% growth.

PETALING JAYA: Umno veteran Shahrir Samad said he had been left embarrassed that despite a landslide election victory, Hasni Mohammad would not be nominated to a second term as menteri besar.
Shahrir said Hasni’s statement yesterday, in which he called for a young person to lead the state, inferred that another had been named to succeed him.
“So I feel ashamed about attending the Umno assembly next weekend.
“Umno can obtain the mandate, but cannot name a party leader to head the state government,” he said in a Facebook post.
He said that he had laughed at Perikatan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan in the run-up to the Johor elections over their inability to name a prospective menteri besar candidate.
He had been certain that Hasni would be a shoo-in. “But apparently he is not fit, and Johor Umno can’t do a thing.”

| Letter – Factors in BN’s thumping Johor victory – J.D. Lovrenciear |

THREE factors explain the thumping victory for Barisan Nasional (BN) in the Johor election. One must eat humble pie to concur.
First, it echoes how the people’s frustrations and disappointments over Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad have not dissipated. The unprecedented victory in 2018 for Pakatan Harapan that saw the fall of the goliath BN after six decades was vaporised hardly 22 months post-GE14.
The public still harbours the pain and holds Dr Mahathir responsible for the disintegration of the new coalition government. The sense of betrayal cuts a deep wound.
To show their spite for his betrayal perhaps is one reason why the people came in droves to cheer Datuk Seri Najib Razak on the campaign trail, as Dr Mahathir has himself consistently blared that he is gunning for Najib.
Second, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has failed to position himself as being still the formidable leader that he was at the time when he went to prison. That failure can be garnered from three aspects.

MELAKA – Despite Barisan Nasional (BN)’s thumping victory in Melaka in November, questions have begun to emerge over chief minister Datuk Seri Sulaiman Md Ali’s administration in the historical state.
According to several insiders with knowledge of the matter, it is learnt that Sulaiman continues to be embroiled in an internal tussle within Melaka Umno over several key issues in the state.
Sulaiman had survived the state election virtually unscathed, with BN winning 21 out of 28 state seats.
The election was triggered after four assemblymen from the PN-BN coalition government had declared their non-support for his leadership.
A source speaking on the condition of anonymity said the 57-year-old is facing a fresh wave of a power tussle, given that several key policy decisions were being made without his consent.
“He has grown so frustrated that he could just vacate his Lendu state seat, which would result in a state by-election.
“He is currently in the position of a leader with no powers.

Do any of you guys use a hard drive to upload your videos and photos?
Can you hook up an external hard drive directly to the aircraft or the RC to upload photos?
If you're out in the field doing work how would you transfer the photos from the aircraft to a hard drive?
