Let professionals lead new govt, says medical coalition Posted by: superadmin - 08-18-2021, 09:00 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: A coalition of medical groups has called for the new government to be led by professionals instead of career politicians. The Malaysian Health Coalition (MHC), which is made up of 49 medical groups and 21 individual doctors, said this would go a long way towards ensuring the country’s recovery from the devastating impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. “The new government must balance health with the recovery of the economy, democracy and society. “The public and the country’s health system are increasingly exhausted. Politicians must be part of the solution, not part of the problem,” the coalition said. - More -   Anwar leads race to be Opposition’s pick for PM, but die likely already cast Posted by: superadmin - 08-18-2021, 08:49 AM - Forum: Politics - Replies (1) Anwar leads race to be Opposition’s pick for PM, but die likely already cast in Ismail Sabri’s favour KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 18 — Pakatan Harapan (PH) and other Opposition parties would fully back PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to be the next prime minister if he could get rival lawmakers to support his bid, sources said. The sources and insiders privy to the negotiations confirmed to Malay Mail that Anwar currently has 105 federal lawmakers on his side, not enough for a simple majority. A simple majority would usually be 111 in the 220-seat Parliament but was now 110 due to two vacancies that could not be filled due to the pandemic. Securing 111 MPs would, however, put the matter beyond doubt. Warisan Youth’s chief and Sepanggar MP Datuk Azis Jamman revealed yesterday that his party’s support for Anwar was conditional on the latter being able to secure the additional lawmakers needed. - More -   Penang father and son look to the stars for inspiration Posted by: superadmin - 08-17-2021, 10:52 PM - Forum: Astronomy - No Replies WHILE most people fall asleep, some earlier than usual after another weary day of living under the various movement control orders, a father encourages his son here in Penang to peer into the night skies with the hope of seeing shooting stars and how the moon looks from afar. Budding astronomy enthusiast Annamalai Muthu has designed a special telescopic device – using an iPad to power an ultraviolet/infrared space observation telescope – to aid him and his son Arrav. His dedication to the world of space exploration has rubbed off on the eight-year-old, who is equally, if not more eager to explore the final frontier known to civilisation. Collecting moon rocks After almost two-years of scanning the galaxies, in they have amassed a collection of insightful images through their telescopic device, Annamalai and Arrav are now in the midst of trying to collect precious moon rocks and meteorites which have fallen into Earth's astrosphere during meteor showers. - More -   A Better Malaysia Assembly, not just a new PM, please – Nazir Razak Posted by: superadmin - 08-17-2021, 10:47 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies IN the next few days, Malaysia will see the swearing in of its ninth prime minister, and a few days or maybe weeks later, a whole new cabinet of ministers will be sworn in, too. They will have a good honeymoon because, during this period, the pandemic will subside; it has to given our world-beating rate of vaccinations and the number of people already infected. Then, the new government will start facing up to business as usual of governing Malaysia. Will they prove materially different to past governments? Or will they be substantially just as frustrating for the rakyat? If so, Malaysians will turn to GE15 and hope that it will bring us the good government we desperately need. But what are the chances of that, given the electoral system is substantially the same (even with the possible addition of the 18 to 20 year olds)? What are the chances that we end up roughly back where we are today? We are in a system where no one party or coalition has a comfortable majority to govern properly. Where deals are being cut, not by trading policies but durians (apparently the codeword for cash) and positions. Where the PM is so powerful, he (so far only he) can use the enforcement powers to his advantage. Where good people go into politics and turn bad in order to stay in the game. Where reforms are racially labelled so as to stop them in their tracks. Where we don’t have an economy but only a “political economy”; every business seems to rely on the government for licences, permits, contracts, regulations or ownership rules or for government companies to give way. Where our best talents want to work overseas, yet we all know that, in the Industrial Revolution 4.0, it is entrepreneurship and innovation that drives success. Where our social safety net has been found so wanting by the pandemic. - More -   China vs USA - Who Would Win? 2021 Military / Country Comparison Posted by: superadmin - 08-17-2021, 08:49 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies   Resounding ‘yes’ for Anwar as PM in online poll Posted by: superadmin - 08-17-2021, 08:16 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is the top choice for prime minister, according to a recent Twitter poll. The PKR president secured 69.6% of the votes from nearly 40,000 total responses, a resounding lead against other candidates in the poll carried out by The Vibes on Twitter. The other politicians in the poll were Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, Tengku Razaleigh Tengku Hamzah and Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, who are all from Umno. The poll, which asked netizens who their top choice for prime minister would be should Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin resign, ran for 24 hours starting last Sunday. In that time, 37,407 Twitter users cast their votes. - More -   DAP man slams ‘incompetent’ Perak health exco as cases surge in state Posted by: superadmin - 08-17-2021, 07:36 PM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Perak health exco Mohd Akmal Kamarudin’s competence was called into question today by a DAP representative following the surge in the number of Covid-19 cases reported daily in the state. In a Twitter thread, Pasir Pinji assemblyman Howard Lee said that with cases failing to subside, it is alarming that more has not been done to curb infections in the state. “For the past month, intensive care units (ICU) in Perak hospitals have been operating beyond maximum capacity. “According to data available in the public domain, as of Aug 12, ICU beds occupancy was at 120%. This was the worst in the country at that particular point in time,” he said. He also cited the poor state of the Covid-19 assessment centre (CAC) at the Perak Sports Complex in Ipoh and the state’s “tepid” vaccination rate as other examples showing Akmal’s lack of competence. - More -   ALWAYS CHANGING Posted by: superadmin - 08-17-2021, 07:21 PM - Forum: English Songs - No Replies   Race is on for PM 9 Posted by: superadmin - 08-17-2021, 06:53 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies   Could a grand coalition or unity govt emerge? Posted by: superadmin - 08-17-2021, 06:34 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The King’s message to political leaders to move on from old politics and be more united for the good of the country could lead to one of two long-mooted ideas – a grand coalition or a unity government. After an audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong this afternoon, opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim told the press that party leaders had agreed that they needed to “stop old conflicts” and unite for the sake of the country. “More importantly, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and the Deputy Agong stressed, we have to create a new form of politics that is more peaceful and harmonious,” he said. Council of Professors fellow Jeniri Amir however told FMT that if politicians abide by the call for harmony, it could form the basis of a strong and stable government. “If we can get national consensus and form a grand coalition, like what came after the May 13, 1969 racial riots, then we will have the political stability to face the health and economic crises. - More - Pages (1144): « Previous 1 … 894 895 896 897 898 … 1144 Next » Jump to page:
