Elba
Faber
Morgan
Khind
Panasonic
Pensonic
Russell Taylors
Midea
Toshiba
Philips
Sharp
Which of the brands are local brands (manufactured in Malaysia)?
Which is China manufactured but rebadged and sold in Malaysia?
Which is non China / non Malaysia?
Does it matter if it was produced in China, or Malaysia, or elsewhere (like Japan, USA, Korea etc)?
Is there significant differences in quality?

Johor Bersatu information chief Mohd Solihan Badri said Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN), in arriving at the decision, had sidelined Bersatu and PAS.

| 2-year ban on Zii Jia is vindictive, says Wong Chen |

PETALING JAYA: The Badminton Association of Malaysia’s (BAM) two-year ban on national shuttler Lee Zii Jia is “vindictive” and will only see Malaysians losing out, says Subang MP Wong Chen.
An avid fan of the sport, Wong suggested that an appropriate ban for Zii Jia should be six months, taking into account how Japanese star Kento Momota was only given a one-year ban as punishment for gambling in 2016.
“Subsequently, Kento used the one year off to train harder, and he roared back and became a world champion,” said Wong in a Facebook post.
“A two-year ban (on Zii Jia) is simply vindictive. Most professional athletes have only a 10-year career, so taking two years away is just too much.
“Therefore, this punishment can only be interpreted as an attempt to destroy Zii Jia’s budding badminton career. And the real loser will be Malaysian badminton,” added the PKR lawmaker.

‘The deadliest drug we’ve ever known’: author Sam Quinones on how fentanyl saturated the US
For the last nine years, Sam Quinones has been studying the changing face of drug use, sales, and addiction in the United States.
In his new book The Least of Us: True Tales of America and Hope in the Time of Fentanyl and Meth, he tracks the explosion of synthetic drugs that has hit the streets of America, increasing the danger of drug use and making addictive chemical substances far cheaper and more plentiful than ever before.
He finds that the days when drug production required land and agriculture are gone. Now drugs are being manufactured from toxic chemicals in vast quantities by Mexican traffickers and introduced to users by slipping them into the supply of other substances, like heroin and cocaine.

Civil societies call for clarification, say SC’s statement on Azam Baki’s shares may have contradicted govt rules
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 23 — The Securities Commission (SC) needs to provide documentary evidence and properly explain the share transactions in Tan Sri Azam Baki’s account for transparency’s sake, seven civil society groups said today.
The Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs; Transparency International Malaysia; Centre to Combat Corruption and Cronyism; Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih 2.0); RasuahBusters; Gabungan Bertindak Malaysia; and Undi18, said the controversy surrounding the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief’s share acquisition in 2015 were no clearer despite the SC’s second statement.
In a joint statement, the seven groups noted there were apparent contradictions in the SC’s statements on the issue and urged the regulator to clarify whether any shares in Azam’s trading account were purchased and paid by his brother Nasir as the MACC chief alleged, and provide the documentary evidence showing to corroborate this.
They highlighted the statement issued by the SC where the regulatory body had stated the shares trading account was managed by Azam himself, which contradicted Azam’s previous statement mentioning the account was used by his brother to avoid a conflict of interest.

PETALING JAYA: Analysts expect the upcoming elections in Johor to play out much like the polls in Melaka, with Umno – and Barisan Nasional by extension – likely to secure a dominant victory in the state it was born.
Yesterday, Johor’s Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar signed the notice to dissolve the state assembly after granting an audience to menteri besar Hasni Mohammad, paving the way for the elections to be held sometime before March 23.
Azmi Hassan, a senior fellow at the Nusantara Academy for Strategic Research, said he expected a big win for Umno owing not only to the party’s strength but also the weakness of rivals like Bersatu, PKR, DAP and PAS.
“The party that will lose most critically in Johor will be Bersatu,” he told FMT.
“They face an uphill battle if they go against Umno, which seems likely.

(CNN)The world feared the worst when a worrying new coronavirus variant emerged in late November and ripped through South Africa at a pace not seen before in the pandemic.
But two months later, with Omicron dominant across much of the globe, the narrative has shifted for some.
"Levels of concern about Omicron tend to be lower than with previous variants," Simon Williams, a researcher in public attitudes and behaviors towards Covid-19 at Swansea University, told CNN. For many, "the 'fear factor of Covid' is lower," he said.
