Tony Fernandes: AirAsia ready to take to skies Posted by: superadmin - 08-26-2021, 01:05 PM - Forum: Business. Economy and Investment - No Replies Tony Fernandes: AirAsia ready to take to skies, operating crew, frontline staff fully vaccinated KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 26 — AirAsia Group is ready to fly with its operating crew and frontline staff 100 per cent vaccinated, group chief executive officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes said. This is happening alongside numerous contactless safety and hygiene measures in place to ensure the highest standards are maintained ahead of a resumption of air travel, which is expected in the near future, he added. “We are ready to fly and as part of our strict safety policy, we are mandating that all of our operating crew and frontline staff serving guests, including pilots, cabin crew and airport staff, are fully vaccinated to return to work," Fernandes said in a statement. He said with stringent health and hygiene protocols and robust standard operating procedures, guests can be assured of a peace of mind when travelling with AirAsia again. - More -   Nothing changes if new PM continues culture of patronage, corruption – C4 Centre Posted by: superadmin - 08-26-2021, 10:30 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies THIS new government, the third since 2018, must in its advent commit to addressing the injustices of the previous administration, and confront corruption as the greatest injustice in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.  Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah, in calling for all leaders to prioritise governance, has aptly stated that governance needs to be based on the principles of justice, and should be entrusted to acknowledged experts. This is a serious responsibility that new Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob must heed with utmost urgency. The Centre to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4 Centre) lauds this critical call for good governance, especially in the face of the current political turmoil and raging pandemic, where the future of Malaysia remains uncertain as political parties grapple for power. Any form of corruption that happens in the midst of this national emergency is a reprehensible crime against the rakyat, where thousands have become jobless, and countless more have died. This call to better governance must be met with meaningful access to information, strict enforcement, regardless of rank and titles. In upholding the rule of law, there should be no discrimination between offenders. What should have been a backbone, a pillar of any enforcement system, has instead been perverted. - More -   Covid-19, post-Muhyiddin – P. Gunasegaram Posted by: superadmin - 08-26-2021, 10:22 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies A CURIOUS thing happened after Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin resigned on August 16 and became the caretaker prime minister, during which period, he should not make any major decisions, but wait for the next prime minister to do so. But that was not to be. He made a major decision to roll back movement controls, relaxing the standard operating procedures for those who have been fully vaccinated allowing them to dine in, and other associated measures. These were announced on August 19, to take effect the following day, when the palace announced that it had picked Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob as the new prime minister. What was the great hurry for Muhyiddin? Did he want to steal a little bit of thunder in his last days as prime minister? He should have let his successor make the decision, considering that his handling of Covid-19 was one of the reasons MPs lost confidence in his leadership. Muhyiddin’s decision to lift restrictions at a time when the number of new infections stood at or around record levels, with deaths exceeding 200 a day and hospitals under stress and strain from too many serious cases, was roundly criticised. Despite the lifting of restrictions, many food operators did not rejoice; some joined in the criticism against the move. It was rushed – not all workers have been fully vaccinated. No one rushed to reopen their businesses. The other thing to have considered is that a large proportion of the population had not been vaccinated as of August 18. The total for Malaysia was 37.5% of the population. While the chances of vaccinated individuals getting Covid-19 are reduced, they can still catch the disease. And since they don’t live in bubbles where everyone is vaccinated, they can potentially infect others who have not received the jab. Thus, it can be reasonably argued that opening up can be delayed a bit more until the rate of fully vaccinated individuals reaches 60% to 70% of the population, such as in the United Kingdom. At that point, given the observation that those who are vaccinated are very much unlikely to experience severe symptoms and have much lower mortality rates, it would be right to lift restrictions – without endangering lives. - More -   PM’s Keluarga Malaysia mantra can’t be mere lip service: analysts Posted by: superadmin - 08-26-2021, 10:15 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – Just as Datuk Seri Najib Razak did with his idea of 1Malaysia more than a decade ago in a bid to promote unity and harmony, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob came up with the “Keluarga Malaysia” concept in his maiden speech as prime minister. In Najib’s case, the idea would stay on with him until he was booted off his perch in the 14th general election, ultimately failing to do what mattered most – unite the nation. Now as the country faces further uncertainty amid a raging health crisis and political instability, observers say it is up to Ismail Sabri to deliver on his concept of a Malaysian family in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic. This comes amid criticisms being hurled at the Umno vice-president following his mooting of the concept, with many pointing towards his unpopular pro-Malay stance in the past. This includes his infamous introduction of a digital mall similar to Low Yat Plaza in 2015 – but exclusively for Bumiputera traders – during his tenure as rural and regional development minister, a move deemed divisive and backwards. - More -   What has MCA done in 60 years, DAP retorts over New Village remark Posted by: superadmin - 08-26-2021, 10:00 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – DAP has fired back at MCA after being accused of neglecting New Villages when it held federal power, questioning whether the latter has made any meaningful contribution to the community. This comes after MCA vice-president Datuk Seri Ti Lian Ker alleged that DAP had wilfully neglected the welfare of the mainly Chinese-inhabited villages, despite enjoying an overwhelming support from the residents. DAP assistant political education director Ong Kian Ming said Ti should look at himself in the mirror and question his party’s “major” achievements when in power in the last 60 years, before DAP took over in May 2018. Ong told The Vibes that DAP has a good track record in overseeing the New Villages and appointing suitable officials there – particularly in Penang and Selangor, where the party has been ruling with allies since 2008. “We may not have had experience at first, but we were able to quickly identify good and qualified candidates to take over these positions all across the country. “Our record over time speaks for itself.” - More -   It Wins The Battle Against A Company But Lost The Tech War To A Country!

Mohamed Khaled Nordin added that the negative perception against the government must also change. “Both sides are important players in a healthy democracy and are needed for better governance,” he said in a statement. The country’s politics, the former federal minister said, must not remain in the old ways and there was a need to shift to a more open and progressive democracy. He went on to express hope that the “huge step” taken by the prime minister would be followed with comprehensive action by both sides. - More -   Umno’s Puad says ‘suicide’ to make Azmin DPM; Bersatu man slams reporting ‘lobbying’ Posted by: superadmin - 08-25-2021, 08:39 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – As speculations intensify over who will be appointed deputy prime minister, Umno Supreme Council member Datuk Mohd Puad Zarkashi said it is “suicide” to appoint Bersatu’s Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali for the post. Puad highlighted the negative responses from netizens since Perikatan Nasional took over last year. “Azmin’s image is always seen as negative, whether from a moral view or his performance. Appointing Azmin will be akin to committing suicide. “Whichever MP withdraws support for Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob over the issue of (cabinet) posts, they will be seen as ‘budak jahat (naughty boys)’.” The Umno man posted on Facebook that it is best to leave the deputy prime minister post vacant. “Let it be vacant. It will be a checkmate for the lobbyists and those fighting over the post. “Ismail Sabri is appointed prime minister according to the constitution so he doesn't need to fear threats of support withdrawal. - More -   Is there a ploy to split PH, asks Johor DAP man Posted by: superadmin - 08-25-2021, 05:07 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Johor DAP committee member Dr Boo Cheng Hau has questioned if three new opposition parties are sincere in wanting to work with Pakatan Harapan (PH). This comes after Pejuang’s announcement that it will contest in 120 parliamentary seats, as the party, together with Muda and Sabah-based Warisan, look at ways to win GE15. Boo also questioned if Warisan and Muda were planning to make it a three-cornered fight in Peninsular Malaysia. “Are Pejuang, Warisan and Muda trying to split PH so that they can return to the Perikatan Nasional or Barisan Nasional coalition?” he said in a statement. He pointed out that Pejuang was “after all, part of Umno and Bersatu”. - More - Pages (1147): « Previous 1 … 885 886 887 888 889 … 1147 Next » Jump to page:
