DAP to face disaster if it drops performing Johor reps: Ronnie Liu Posted by: superadmin - 02-12-2022, 03:18 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – It is a clear recipe for disaster should DAP continue with its game plan to drop performing incumbents and prevent them from defending their seats in the Johor polls, as previously seen in the Melaka and Sarawak elections, said Ronnie Liu. In a statement today, the DAP central working committee member said his party must address cronyism in the party’s candidate selection process. “In Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, we cannot have a divided army. DAP should select the best man (or woman) for the seat and not the best seat for a crony.” In view of the challenging situation, Liu said his party should instead focus and mitigate losses to avoid a total wipe-out in the southern state. DAP must refrain from replacing performing assemblymen in their current seats or promising them a “promotion” to another state seat deemed to be “safer”, he added. “Avoid dropping performing reps in safe seats to be transferred or ‘promoted’ to another ‘safer’ state seat or a promise of a future parliamentary seat in GE15 and be replaced by a newbie or rookie. “It is noted that leadership has met up with some incumbents to avoid replacing them. “Take the opportunity to close ranks by bringing back some old guards who are still young, efficient, effective and efficacious reps.” - More -   Khairy on Malaysia’s cautious steps in declaring endemic phase Posted by: superadmin - 02-12-2022, 11:53 AM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies Better safe than sorry: Khairy on Malaysia’s cautious steps in declaring endemic phase KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysia is taking prudent steps before it decides to declare the country’s transition from the Covid-19 pandemic to the endemic phase, said Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.  He said this careful approach included ensuring that Covid-19 cases in Malaysia, especially those involving hospital admissions, did not continue to surge. “We are monitoring other countries like Sweden and Denmark. In my opinion, they might have declared an end to the Covid-19 pandemic too early. For example, in Denmark they declared that Covid-19 was not a threat to public health but cases needing hospitalisation increased rapidly. “That’s why for the Health director-general (Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah) and I, we prefer to be cautious. Some say our approach is conservative and others say too conservative, but for us it is better to be safe than sorry,” he told a press conference after launching the Mass Urology Surgery Initiative at Hospital Selayang yesterday. If in the next two to three weeks the Omicron wave had little effect on hospital admission rates with most cases showing mild symptoms, the government might be more confident to move to the endemic phase, he added. - More -   Maszlee all but confirmed as PKR’s pick for Johor MB Posted by: superadmin - 02-12-2022, 11:48 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – Simpang Renggam MP Maszlee Malik is set to become PKR’s choice for Johor menteri besar in the upcoming state election.  Multiple sources have told The Vibes that the former education minister, who recently joined PKR, is also currently the opposition’s frontrunner for the top post. Any final decision on the matter will depend on upcoming discussions between the Pakatan Harapan (PH) component parties, as approval must be obtained from DAP and Amanah. The two parties are said to have other prospective candidates in mind, and a compromise may have to be made for the coalition to reach a consensus. Johor PKR chief Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh confirmed that his party has finalised a name for the menteri besar position, but stopped short of naming him, pending discussion among PH’s top brass. He said that both DAP and Amanah have yet to be officially informed of PKR’s pick. “As far as we are concerned, we need to discuss this with our PH partners first. We won’t divulge details yet. It is not for us (PKR) to announce ourselves,” he told The Vibes today. - More -   Health Ministry offers Sinovac boosters on walk-in basis from Monday Posted by: superadmin - 02-12-2022, 11:35 AM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – In a bid to encourage the uptake of Covid-19 vaccine booster shots, the Sinovac jab will be made available Monday onwards at all offsite vaccination centres (PPVs) under the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme. According to the Health Ministry’s subsidiary ProtectHealth Corporation Sdn Bhd, the free booster is available on a walk-in basis for those who received Sinovac as their first and second dose. In a statement, the company said those who are eligible and want the Sinovac booster can refer to the list of offsite PPVs at its website. “However, the Health Ministry is recommending Pfizer boosters for Sinovac recipients as they offer a higher level of protection.” – The Vibes, February 12, 2022   Malaysia’s political theatre: it’s all about power Posted by: superadmin - 02-12-2022, 11:02 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies From Murray Hunter There is one thing in common with the “Sheraton Putsch” that removed Pakatan Harapan from power, the substitution of Muhyiddin Yassin with Ismail Sabri Yaakob as prime minister and the dissolution of the state assemblies of Sabah, Melaka, and now, Johor. These events were solely about who should rule. They were not about any fundamental disagreements over policy. They were tactical lunges for power. The Malaysian political arena is structured in such a way that encourages power plays. Government and politics in Malaysia require various parties to collaborate on mutual objectives, yet compete with each other at the same time. Alliances are made and broken on a regular basis on both sides of politics. The Malay political environment is influenced by history, a resulting culture that resonates a disposition towards power fixation, a consistent behaviour to these beliefs, and corresponding outcomes based upon power dynamics. - More -   PKR ‘desperate’ for Johor victories after polls setbacks, say analysts Posted by: superadmin - 02-12-2022, 10:56 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: PKR is “desperate” to win as many seats as possible in Johor, which is why several PKR leaders have spoken out against giving Muda what are seen as easy seats in the state elections, says an analyst. James Chin of the University of Tasmania’s Asia Institute said many in PKR are unhappy that the leaders had been considering giving “good seats” to Muda, as the PKR members believed their party could do well in Johor. He said PKR was not strongly against working with Muda but was simply “in big trouble” after its dismal performance in the Melaka and Sarawak elections where it lost in all seats contested. - More -   Cracks deepen but PH can’t afford a break-up, say analysts Posted by: superadmin - 02-12-2022, 10:51 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: A political analyst says cracks in Pakatan Harapan are deepening, but the former ruling coalition is unlikely to break up because its main component parties are too weak to stand on their own. “DAP cannot win the hearts and minds of Malay voters. Amanah is a small party and PKR is at its weakest point,” said Council of Professors fellow Jeniri Amir. He said PKR lost a lot of its strength when those linked to former deputy president Azmin Ali quit the party. Recent issues in Johor, such as PKR’s choice to forego using the PH logo and the party’s unhappiness over Amanah’s surrendering of the Puteri Wangsa seat to Muda, also showed the state of disunity in the party, he said. - More -   群星演绎！北京冬奥会颁奖仪式推广歌曲《致敬勇士》 Posted by: superadmin - 02-11-2022, 06:59 PM - Forum: Chinese Songs - No Replies   A BN loss in Johor will stop ‘court cluster’ comeback, says Muhyiddin Posted by: superadmin - 02-11-2022, 05:50 PM - Forum: Politics - Replies (2) PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin claims that the only way to stop Umno’s “court cluster” is for Barisan Nasional (BN) to lose in the upcoming Johor polls. “If Umno wins in the Johor state elections, they will urge the prime minister to dissolve Parliament and hold a general election (GE15),” the Bersatu president said in a Facebook post. “When Parliament is dissolved, the person with the power to decide which candidate will contest and lead the party in the elections is the president of the party, not the PM.” - More -   Is Eileen Gu a Traitor to America? | American Expat Shares the Truth Posted by: superadmin - 02-11-2022, 05:39 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Pages (1314): « Previous 1 … 880 881 882 883 884 … 1314 Next » Jump to page:
