  DAP, Amanah using Muda to attract young fence-sitters, says analyst
Posted by: superadmin - 02-13-2022, 05:13 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

PETALING JAYA: A political analyst said the decision by Amanah and DAP to offer five Malay-majority seats to Muda in the Johor state elections is a strategy to attract young voters sitting on the fence.

Azmi Hassan, a senior research fellow at Nusantara Academy for Strategic Research, said the decision by Amanah and DAP was not because they had no confidence in attracting Malay support in the polls.

  I’m prepared to meet PSC over shares, says Azam Baki
Posted by: superadmin - 02-13-2022, 09:27 AM - Forum: Politics - Replies (1)

[Image: azam-baki-bernama-1.jpg]

PETALING JAYA: Top graft buster Azam Baki said he is prepared to be questioned by a parliamentary select committee over his shares in public listed companies, as long as the hearing was in accordance with the law.

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief said he was merely going by the book when he had declined to appear before the committee last month, adding he had only received an “invite” to do so.

“Don’t mislead the public into thinking that I was subpoenaed and that by not turning up I was disrespectful and in contempt of Parliament,” he said in an interview with selected media.

  Education ministry can’t keep on doing ‘business as usual’, says Maszlee
Posted by: superadmin - 02-13-2022, 09:16 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

[Image: FMT-YB-DR-MASZLEE-MALIK-MENTERI-PENDIDIK...819-31.jpg]

CYBERJAYA: Former education minister Maszlee Malik has criticised the education ministry for not having a holistic plan to revitalise the country’s education system.

When asked about his biggest concerns surrounding education, the Simpang Renggam MP said he was worried about the system’s “lack of direction, uncertain future and unclear direction”.


Warning that the pandemic-interrupted classes over the past two years will have a long-lasting impact on students, Maszlee noted that the education ministry had not drawn up post-Covid-19 education plans for this “lost generation”.

“The loss of learning over these past two years will have an impact for the next five, 10, 20 years,” he told FMT.

“(But) if they (education ministry) carry on doing ‘business as usual’, even though the impact of Covid-19 has been very severe, there is nothing we can expect from them.

  Political stability if Umno is kept down, says PAS man
Posted by: superadmin - 02-13-2022, 09:12 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

[Image: bn-pas-umno-bendera-bernama-120222-1.jpg]

PETALING JAYA: The country would be “politically stable” if Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) do not have many seats, PAS election director Sanusi Md Nor said today.

Describing Barisan Nasional as backstabbers despite being a partner of the governing coalition, Sanusi said BN, especially Umno, was the cause of many disputes.

BN is a greedy coalition partner, demanding posts as ministers and in government companies, he said.

  Rubio attempting to kidnap US media to serve his own anti-China agenda

Attempting to kidnap US media to serve his own anti-China agenda, Rubio further jeopardizes US media’s crumbling credibility

[Image: 617a49f8-2aa1-4089-abef-216472fe621e.jpeg]

Infamous US anti-China senator Macro Rubio is spouting his trademark nonsense again. In an op-ed for Fox News Friday, Rubio hit out at the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) for what he believes favorable coverage of China during the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games. 

He accused NBC of "reciting Chinese Communist Party talking points in its broadcasts of the Winter Olympics from Beijing," saying NBC "could just as easily be named the 'National Beijing Corporation.'" His simple and groundless evidence is that when covering the February 4 opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, NBC analysts described so-called "first-hand accounts and verified reports of Beijing's human rights abuses" as "allegations," and the network cited the Chinese government as saying "accusations of genocide are the lie of the century." 

The Chinese side has refuted the Western slander of "Uygur genocide" with solid evidences and data, which was not mentioned in NBC's Olympics coverage. The US broadcaster was simply quoting one sentence of Chinese government's response to the accusations of "genocide," but even this was unacceptable to Rubio, seen by him as an act of "peddling a hostile regime's propaganda" and "a capitulation to the Party, motivated by corporate greed."

  Chinese bitcoin miner exodus faces hurdles as equipment remains stuck
Posted by: superadmin - 02-12-2022, 04:01 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies

Chinese bitcoin miner exodus faces hurdles as equipment remains stuck from shipment delays, tariffs and legal quagmire 
  • As many as 2 million cryptocurrency mining machines are stuck in China’s Sichuan province, lawyers estimate, after a government crackdown halted operations
  • Miners trying to move to North America are losing millions of dollars while waiting to export machines through complex shipping routes to avoid tariffs
[Image: d071c59e-b8ad-4027-9da9-2633ed5aae74_bcc...1644567197]

A massive exodus of bitcoin mining equipment from China is facing hurdles as millions of machines remain stuck over complex relocation procedures, according to lawyers handling such cases.

The country’s cryptocurrency mining industry continues to deal with delays in getting their operations up and running again since the government started clamping down on related activities last May. The bitcoin mining crackdown has already pushed much of this activity offshore, but large mining operations are finding it difficult to get their pricey, specialised hardware out of the country.

Compounding their troubles is the fact that miners are losing potential revenue each day the machines are offline, to the tune of about 170 yuan (US$26.70) in profit per machine by one estimate. For the largest operations, this means a loss of millions of dollars that can never be recuperated.

  Why manners matter: Top tips for raising kind kids
Posted by: superadmin - 02-12-2022, 03:45 PM - Forum: Educations - No Replies

[Image: 106779488-1604522814146-gettyimages-1270...=740&h=416]

The benefits of teaching kids to be considerate early on go well beyond good manners, with research suggesting that raising young children to be kind is crucial for their development.

Having a child that knows when to say please and thank you is just one aspect of why parents should be raising kids to be considerate toward others from an early age. 

A study by academics in the psychology department at the Canadian University of British Columbia, published in 2012, examined the effect on toddlers when they demonstrated “prosocial” behavior, which refers to showing kindness and generosity toward others.
