he Emergency Cannot Be Extended – The Monarchies Are More Powerful And Smarter Posted by: superadmin - 06-15-2021, 02:15 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Last October, when King Sultan Abdullah rejected the ruling Perikatan Nasional government’s request to declare a State of Emergency, the monarch had also warned MPs against destabilizing the government. At lightning speed, PAS Islamist party president Abdul Hadi Awang lectured the Opposition to obey the royal advice and stop politicking.   This February, when King Sultan Abdullah decreed that Parliament can reconvene even during the Emergency period, the monarch had also reminded the government that Malaysia practises the democratic system based on the principle of the supremacy of the Constitution. This time, however, PAS supremo Hadi disappeared and no longer talked about obeying the royal decree. The so-called Malay-centric Perikatan Nasional government is not only illegitimate, but is also being led by munafiq (hypocrite) leaders, especially the snake oil salesman Hadi Awang. When it suits them, they will lecture until foaming at the mouth that people must obey the King. When it’s against them, they will keep quiet and treat the King like dirt. - More -   Review tax policy on health supplements, think tank tells govt Posted by: superadmin - 06-15-2021, 02:05 PM - Forum: Health News - No Replies PETALING JAYA: A think tank has called for the government to review the tax policy on dietary and health supplementary products following a global rise in demand during the Covid-19 pandemic. The Center for Market Education (CME) said in its latest policy paper that an increased awareness in personal health and protection against diseases had a positive impact on the demand for dietary supplements. However, despite the growth in demand, Malaysia still lagged behind its Asian counterparts, it said in the paper titled “Dietary Supplements in the Malaysian Context: Policy Recommendations for Enhancing Freedom of Choice and Healthcare Savings”. “Less than 30% of the (Malaysian) population consumes dietary supplements compared with countries like South Korea (60-70%), Taiwan (40-50%) and Australia (40-50%). - More -   Despondent at the end or beginning of hope Posted by: superadmin - 06-15-2021, 10:14 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies From Akhramsyah Muammar Ubaidah Sanusi It is easy to be disgusted to see what is happening to our country. The whole world is suffering, but where others move forward, despite the misery, even sprinting with hope in the all too short periods when the pandemic eases about them, we remain confused and directionless. It is also easy to partake in the common hobby of our people, pointing fingers at those we blame for our suffering. The politicians, both in power or deprived of it, being those often pilloried. Also those in power by station, by job, by role, and now, ultimately, also by birth. It is not so easy it seems to channel the anger now brewing among us into something more. Resignation and apathy seem easier paths for many, helpless and increasingly penniless. We crave the stability we have now lost, forgetting how ungrateful we were when we once had it. We have little choice really, easy or not. Now our future seems to rest in the hands of nine gentlemen so detached from our daily lives that it should be easier to fear or despise them. But we are so driven by desperation that so many hope, while also confused as to what really we should hope for. Whatever happens at the Istana where too few of our citizens will ever tread in the coming day or so, we cannot allow ourselves to continue to believe that our fate is in the hands of others. We have now been reduced to laying hope for the future on the nine monarchs. The world is laughing at us with pity. - More -   Pahang Regent wants mining at Chini Lake stopped Posted by: superadmin - 06-15-2021, 10:06 AM - Forum: Environment Protection News - No Replies Pahang Regent wants mining at Chini Lake stopped, calls for expansion of forest reserve KUANTAN, June 14 — The Regent of Pahang Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim Alam Shah Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah has ordered for the Chini Forest Reserve in Pekan, with an area of 4,600 hectares, to be expanded to 6,000 or up to 7,000 hectares. Comptroller of the Royal Household of the Sultan of Pahang, Datuk Ahmad Khirrizal Ab Rahman said the royal command was aimed at protecting and conserving the flora and fauna in the Tasik Chini area. Tengku Hassanal, according to Ahmad Khirrizal, made a surprise visit to Tasik Chini yesterday following the reports and photos that went viral on social media of late, which claimed mining activities occurring in the area. - More -   Dangerous heatwave grips US south-west as temperatures hit 120F in some areas Posted by: superadmin - 06-15-2021, 09:56 AM - Forum: Environment Protection News - No Replies Dangerously hot temperatures across the US south-west will continue to climb this week, reaching higher than 120F (49C) in some areas, exacerbating the region’s already-dire drought conditions and increasing the risk of new fire ignitions. Extreme heat will be felt across much of Utah, along with southern and central California, Nevada and Arizona. More than 48 million people across the west are now under heat advisory watches or warnings from the National Weather Service, which is predicting that statewide records will be broken in Nevada and Arizona, along with hundreds of new daily record-high temperatures set in cities in the coming days. - More -   Coronavirus outpacing vaccine effort, says WHO, after G7 doses pledge Posted by: superadmin - 06-15-2021, 09:52 AM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies The World Health Organization has warned that Covid-19 is moving faster than the vaccines, and said the vow by G7 countries to share a billion doses with poorer nations was simply not enough. “This is a big help, but we need more, and we need them faster. Right now, the virus is moving faster than the global distribution of vaccines,” World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told journalists. “More than 10,000 people are dying every day ... these communities need vaccines, and they need them now, not next year.” Global health leaders also warned the pledge was too little, too late, with more than 11bn shots needed. Faced with outrage over disparities in jab access, the Group of Seven industrialised powers pledged during a weekend summit in Britain to take their total dose donations to more than a billion, up from 130m promised in February. - More -   Malaysia’s plan to fast-track jabs at workplaces slammed Posted by: superadmin - 06-15-2021, 09:03 AM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia's move to start inoculating workers in key economic sectors against Covid-19 before the completion of vaccinations for senior citizens and front-liners has drawn criticisms from several opposition politicians. Mr Khairy Jamaluddin, the national coordinating minister for immunisation, said on Monday (June 14) that the government will begin vaccinating industry workers from Wednesday, as part of measures to reduce infections in workplaces that continue to dominate the number of new clusters. Vaccine centres will be opened for the manufacturing, construction, plantation, retail and hospitality sectors. - More -   End the Emergency now Posted by: superadmin - 06-15-2021, 08:58 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies From Ashraf Abdullah The Emergency has failed. And that is a fact. Therefore, it has to be revoked immediately. To allow a failed process to continue will be senseless, immoral even. A dereliction of duty. When the Emergency was first sought, the government’s excuse was that it will help expedite efforts to end the Covid-19 pandemic. Although not many, some people believed it. However, since then, have things improved? Far from it. In fact, it became so bad that it almost crippled our healthcare system. When the Emergency was proclaimed on Jan 12, Malaysia had 28,554 active coronavirus cases and 555 deaths. When this article was being written, the number of active cases stood at 73,324 with 3,908 deaths. The number of active cases more than doubled and deaths increased by seven times. ICUs at government hospitals are filled to the brim. government resources are stretched to breaking points. Doctors, nurses and other hospital staff have no rest. - More -   No more excuses to extend emergency, say analysts Posted by: superadmin - 06-15-2021, 08:54 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The recent surge in Covid-19 cases, coupled with the sluggish economy, has deprived Putrajaya of any more excuses to extend the state of emergency, according to political analysts. They also urged the government not to use the Sarawak state elections as an excuse to prolong the state of emergency. Analyst Azmi Hassan said the rakyat were told that the emergency would end in August and “they are now waiting for that. But with the Sarawak state elections coming this year, the government may use it as an excuse to advise the King to extend the state of emergency. “But this can be curtailed if the King declares an emergency in a particular area.” - More -   Upko says Mageran can’t bring political stability Posted by: superadmin - 06-14-2021, 09:08 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KOTA KINABALU: Upko is the latest political party to reject Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s proposal for a national operations council similar to the Majlis Gerakan Negara (Mageran) to temporarily take over the reins of the country. Upko president Wilfred Madius Tangau said the matter was among nine issues he raised at a virtual audience today with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah. Madius said he was prepared to explain the party’s decision to its Warisan Plus allies. “Our explanation is simple – we are not convinced Mageran can bring political stability because it does not involve the people, does not involve Parliament.” Madius said if Mageran is formed, it would rely only on its members who would need to ensure it makes no mistakes. Should mistakes be made, Madius said the people would be angry and this could lead to an uprising not only against Mageran but possibly the royal institution. - More - Pages (1039): « Previous 1 … 871 872 873 874 875 … 1039 Next » Jump to page:
