  World's highest expressway opens to traffic
Posted by: superadmin - 08-22-2021, 04:40 PM - Forum: Travels - No Replies

LHASA -- The world's highest expressway, running between the city of Nagchu and Lhasa, capital of Southwest China's Tibet autonomous region, went into operation on Saturday, with the opening of the final 227-km section between Nagchu and Yangbajain, according to the Ministry of Transport.

The Nagchu-Lhasa expressway, running 295 km with an average altitude of over 4,500 meters, is part of the expressway linking Beijing and Lhasa, and is the first highway connecting Lhasa and the grasslands of northern Tibet.

Its operation will shorten the drive between Lhasa and the city of Nagchu to three hours from more than six.

It will significantly enlarge the transport capacity and improve the level of security of the corridor connecting Tibet with Northwest China's Qinghai province, said an official with the ministry.

The Yangbajain-Lhasa section of the expressway opened to traffic in October 2020.

  Faizal doubles down, insists PN govt in charge
Posted by: superadmin - 08-22-2021, 12:32 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

[Image: 22082021_-_AHMAD_FAIZAL_AZUMU_-_PN_MEETI...RAF_-3.jpg]

KUALA LUMPUR – After losing its prime minister, Bersatu deputy president Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu said the new administration led by Umno is still a Perikatan Nasional government.

Speaking to the press outside the PN headquarters in Publika, Faizal said this is because the majority of MPs who support Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob are from PN while Umno’s Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition has 41 MPs.

“This is still a PN government. Our friend (BN) only has the support of 41 MPs,” he said after PN’s supreme council meeting here today. – The Vibes, August 22, 2021

  Breaking Down the Issues: vernacular schools invaluable, potential game changers
Posted by: superadmin - 08-22-2021, 12:11 PM - Forum: Educations - No Replies


THE Education Ministry, in its Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025, has said that it is committed to developing and implementing a transparent and equitable set of principles for the allocation of financial aid and other support for all school types.


All evidence to date – within Asean and internationally – shows that multiple language fluency in whichever country in the world is an asset not only to the individual, but to the business organisation as well as the nation that encourages it.

We are fortunate in that not only do we have a multilingual population. We also have the building blocks for a bilingual and even trilingual population in our national schooling system.

Our national education objective should be to ensure every Malaysian child receives the right educational resources and a fair share of opportunities from cradle to career. This is especially necessary if we are to cope with international competition in an increasingly globalised world.

Diversity and mastering more languages should be a key policy priority. Our government should view vernacular schools using different languages as a socio-economic resource for national development.

The government should also not be pressured to view a different medium of instruction to Bahasa Melayu as a hindrance to national unity.

  Go for a smaller Cabinet minus deadwood, PM told
Posted by: superadmin - 08-22-2021, 12:02 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

[Image: Muhyiddin-Yassin_kabinet_Cabinet_PN-bern...520201.jpg]

PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob must avoid establishing a large Cabinet with too much “deadwood” from the previous government, say political analysts.

Oh Ei Sun of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs and Ahmad Fauzi Hamid of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) said a smaller Cabinet would be vital in inspiring confidence in the government.

The previous Cabinet under the Muhyiddin Yassin administration comprised 32 ministers and 38 deputy ministers. Ismail, who took office as prime minister yesterday, is expected to announce his Cabinet soon.


Oh said he hoped new ministers would be appointed for the health, home affairs, and international trade and industry portfolios.

“The previous ministers were seen by many as being either incompetent, ineffective or not neutral,” he said.

  In betrayal, Muhyiddin reaps what he sowed, says Kadir Jasin
Posted by: superadmin - 08-22-2021, 11:58 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

[Image: Muhyiddin-Yassin-PM-Dewan-Rakyat-Parlime...1120-2.jpg]

PETALING JAYA: Veteran newsman A Kadir Jasin has pointed out the irony of former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s rise and fall from power because of betrayal.

“He came to power by betraying the people who voted for him and the Pakatan Harapan coalition in the last general election,” the former Bersatu Supreme Council member said.

But 17 months down the road, the very people Muhyiddin plotted with, the “hungry wolves of Umno” as Kadir describes them, turned their backs on Muhyiddin and withdrew their support for him, ultimately leading to his downfall.


Muhyiddin’s tenure as the country’s 8th prime minister ended last Monday when he resigned after losing majority support among MPs.

Subsequently, Umno’s Ismail Sabri Yaakob was appointed prime minister with the support of MPs from Barisan Nasional (BN), Perikatan Nasional (PN), GPS, PBS and several independents.

  Ahmad Maslan next to shoot down PN federal govt label
Posted by: superadmin - 08-22-2021, 10:24 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

[Image: 19092021_-_Ahmad_Maslan_-_UMNO_HQ_-_MUHA...ASIM-1.jpg]

KUALA LUMPUR – Another Umno leader has dismissed the Perikatan Nasional government label, saying the current government should rather be called a mixed one.

Umno secretary-general and Pontian MP Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan posted on Twitter last night that the new government, led by Umno’s DAtuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, is not the previous PN administration.

“For me, this is not a Perikatan Nasional government but a mixed one comprising Barisan Nasional, PNl, Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) and Parti Bersatu Sarawak (PBS).

“PN only has Bersatu, PAS, Gerakan, Sabah Star – and not BN, GPS and PBS.”

He is not the only one fighting the PN label.

  Hudud in M’sia? Look at my country now, warns Afghan refugee
Posted by: superadmin - 08-22-2021, 10:13 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

KUALA LUMPUR – Salim (not his real name) fled Kabul to Malaysia after Taliban-linked criminals threatened his family’s life and safety.

But now, he warns Malaysia not to adopt ideologies similar to those held by the Afghan militant group, which just took over the country after the United States’ abrupt exit following 20 years of war.

When told about the existence of a Malaysian-based Islamic political party that has pushed for the implementation of a strict hudud code of law, Salim advised the country to look no further than Afghanistan.

“I’m a refugee who loves Malaysia and has a deep connection with the country ever since my son was born here. I urge Malaysians to learn from the Afghan experience. Whatever happened there can happen anywhere.

“If there are those here that support similar ideologies with the Taliban, it is possible that Malaysia may face the same fate as Afghanistan,” Salim told The Vibes.
