Young Kelantanese couple travel more than 300km to find work Posted by: superadmin - 06-08-2021, 09:16 AM - Forum: Inspiring Stories - No Replies Young Kelantanese couple travel more than 300km to find work, end up sleeping by the roadside in Bukit Mertajam SEBERANG PERAI, June 8 — They had travelled here from their home in Kelantan — a journey of over 300 kilometres — hoping to find a job. Instead, they ended up sleeping by the roadside in Bukit Mertajam and selling recyclables from rubbish bins just to get by. Shah and Siti (the names they want used for this article) got married in Kelantan in April. Like all newlyweds, the plan was to settle down and start a family but neither of them were able to get a job. Instead of relying on Shah’s family for help, they decided to travel to Penang in hopes of more job opportunities. - More -   Carbon dioxide levels hit 50% higher than preindustrial time Posted by: superadmin - 06-08-2021, 08:49 AM - Forum: Environment Protection News - No Replies The annual peak of global heat-trapping carbon dioxide in the air has reached another dangerous milestone: 50% higher than when the industrial age began. And the average rate of increase is faster than ever, scientists reported Monday. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said the average carbon dioxide level for May was 419.13 parts per million. That’s 1.82 parts per million higher than May 2020 and 50% higher than the stable pre-industrial levels of 280 parts per million, said NOAA climate scientist Pieter Tans. Carbon dioxide levels peak every May just before plant life in the Northern Hemisphere blossoms, sucking some of that carbon out of the atmosphere and into flowers, leaves, seeds and stems. The reprieve is temporary, though, because emissions of carbon dioxide from burning coal, oil and natural gas for transportation and electricity far exceed what plants can take in, pushing greenhouse gas levels to new records every year. - More -   White Supremacists Boosted by YouTube to Spread Asian Hate Posted by: superadmin - 06-07-2021, 09:43 PM - Forum: Stop Racism and Religious Bigotry - No Replies   Where’s the mass testing, asks Anwar Posted by: superadmin - 06-07-2021, 08:27 PM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The government must explain why mass testing has not yet been implemented and why the number of tests conducted daily has remained low, opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has said. Citing data from the past week, he said tests ranged from a low of 89,227 on May 31 and a peak at 105,293 on June 4, with a positivity rate around 7%. The figures suggested that a high number of cases going undetected, he said. Malaysia should almost triple the daily testing rate to meet the World Health Organization’s recommendation of 10 to 30 tests per confirmed Covid-19 case, he said. He questioned what rationale was behind not ramping up testing efforts, and suggested it could be to conceal the government’s poor management of the pandemic. - More -   Police: Jog only within your own neighbourhood or face fines Posted by: superadmin - 06-07-2021, 08:21 PM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies Police: Jog only within your own neighbourhood or face fines for going beyond the boundary during ‘total lockdown’ KUALA LUMPUR, June 7 — Joggers are only allowed to move within their residential neighbourhood during the total lockdown phase of the movement control order, a senior police official said today.

Billionaire speaks out after attacks on Asian Americans New York (CNN Business)Patrick Soon-Shiong, the billionaire owner of the Los Angeles Times, is urging America to admit it has a racism problem. "This unconscious bias and racism is pervasive. It's almost inherent, sadly, in the historic fabric of this country," Soon-Shiong, the founder and executive chairman of biotech company ImmunityBio, told CNN Business in his first public comments about the surge of anti-Asian hostilities. "We have to recognize that, accept it and then break it." Soon-Shiong, who is of Chinese descent and was born in South Africa, expressed dismay at the recent spike in hate crimes against Asian Americans as well as the racial tensions that fueled the Black Lives Matter movement. "I came from South Africa, where I saw [racism] growing up. The difference, in a funny way, is that it was Apartheid, but it was Apartheid in the open," said Soon-Shiong, who moved to the United States in 1977. "I thought we were coming to the land of the free. And frankly, I've been completely disenchanted." The comments make Soon-Shiong one of the highest-profile Asian business leaders to speak out about the recent attacks on Asian Americans. And he urged more Asian Americans to do the same. "Unfortunately, the Asian culture and mentality is to just suck it up. Do your work. Do your thing. Be quiet," Soon-Shiong said. "I don't think that can happen any longer." - More -   Varsities supposed to broaden minds, critics say after Ramli Ibrahim talk debacle Posted by: superadmin - 06-07-2021, 01:18 PM - Forum: Stop Racism and Religious Bigotry - No Replies PETALING JAYA: An academic and an educationist have criticised Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) for cancelling a talk by classical dancer Ramli Ibrahim, saying universities are meant to help students broaden their minds. On Saturday, UTM confirmed it had cancelled Ramli’s talk on how dance transcended race on the advice of its Islamic centre, as the university did not want to “offend any party”. Tajuddin Mohd Rasdi of UCSI University wondered who exactly UTM had assumed the talk would offend. He said Hindus would be appreciative that a person of a different culture and religion treasured their art. And this would go a long way when it comes to nation-building. - More - Pages (1038): « Previous 1 … 879 880 881 882 883 … 1038 Next » Jump to page:
