  I told you so, says Zahid as Umno seals return to power

KUALA LUMPUR – Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has pointed to a speech he made on Umno’s return to power three years ago, as he celebrated the party now holding the top position in government.

In a Facebook post, today Zahid reflected on the address he made during Umno’s general assembly in 2018, after the Barisan Nasional lost in the 14th general election (GE14) due to “slander”.

“We are always ready to lead the government if anything happens to the present administration,” the Bagan Datuk MP said.

“This was part of my speech during the Umno general assembly three years ago. What was said by the Umno president on that day has now become a reality today.”

Umno marked its return to leading the country following the removal of Bersatu president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin as prime minister last Monday, following weeks of a political impasse brought by the withdrawal of support for Muhyiddin by 15 Umno MPs.

Yesterday, Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob was sworn into office, securing his party’s reign over Putrajaya.

Zahid thanked Umno’s leadership, members, and supporters who had confidence in the speech he made during the assembly.

  Cabinet needs shrinking, must comprise experts to manage crises: political analysts
Posted by: superadmin - 08-22-2021, 05:21 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

GEORGE TOWN – Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob must prove his commitment to handling the health and economic crises by forming a small cabinet, said political analysts.

This comes as pundits have also taken note of the positive attitude displayed by Malaysia’s ninth prime minister, who wasted no time in immediately engaging the federal opposition after being appointed into office by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

Too many chefs spoil the broth
Sivamurugan Pandian, a professor of political sociology at Universiti Sains Malaysia, told The Vibes that the cabinet has to shrink, as bloated as it was in the previous government.

“The first thing they must do is revisit the previous cabinet’s whole structure. It should be small and comprise quality members, and the rakyat will appreciate that because what matters most is quality, not quantity.

“Before, there were too many portfolios and ministries. Now I think the cabinet should be set up to manage the crisis,” he said.

Though the government needs a reputable, credible, and small cabinet comprising those with expertise, experience and who are also beyond political interests, Sivamurugan said he does not think a unity cabinet is currently possible.

  Same vaccine cert can be accessed in different phones simultaneously, says Lee
Posted by: superadmin - 08-22-2021, 05:16 PM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies

PETALING JAYA: The government should close a loophole in the MySejahtera app which allows people to log in to other people’s accounts on their phones, said former deputy health minister Dr Lee Boon Chye.

A check by FMT found that digital certificates can be displayed on other people’s phones upon logging in with the account of a fully vaccinated person. This will allow those who are unvaccinated to pass off as being fully vaccinated.

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

[Image: 612194eaa310efa1e3b74fae.jpeg]

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

[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.
