Multi-ethnic BN to suffer as Umno set to contest as many seats as possible on its own to deter Perikatan, analysts suggest
KUALA LUMPUR, May 5 — Barisan Nasional’s (BN) odds running up to the general election has become much more tenuous as the coalition's lynchpin party, Umno faces a tense relationship with the ruling Perikatan Nasional (PN) administration, according to political analysts.
Marred by poor performance in the last few general elections and fighting for relevance post-GE14, political analysts find both component parties MCA and MIC to be worse off and will face a very tough road ahead under the BN coalition, with Umno set to dominate the stage.
Universiti Teknologi Malaysia geostrategist Prof Azmi Hassan said Umno, which has the most influence in BN, had gone past “labelling” the coalition as “multi-cultural” and has instead rushed to merely win as many seats as possible.
“Umno grassroots are quite vocal that they want to contest all Malay majority seats, including Ayer Hitam and Tapah. Even though Datuk Seri M. Saravanan and Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong managed to scrape by [in the last election], the votes are coming from Umno voters,” he said.

PETALING JAYA: DAP’s Charles Santiago has called on the prime minister and the Police Force Commission to put an end to the practice of using the Special Branch for political purposes.
“Otherwise, the erosion of confidence in the police force will prevail,” the Klang MP said in a short statement.
Santiago also said former inspector-general of police Abdul Hamid Bador had confirmed what had long been suspected, that the Special Branch was being misused by politicians.
He was responding to Hamid’s claim that the home minister attempted to install a new Special Branch director to gain better control over the division.
Hamid said the plan had been to ensure that the Special Branch would be more agreeable to following directives from the home ministry.
He also said minister Hamzah Zainudin had forced the Special Branch to conduct several operations for its own political purposes.

| Five Eyes: Why New Zealand refuses to condemn China |

The Five Eyes alliance is an intelligence-sharing arrangement between five English-speaking democracies: the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It evolved during the Cold War as a mechanism for monitoring the Soviet Union and sharing classified intelligence. It is often described as the world's most successful intelligence alliance. But recently it has suffered an embarrassing setback.
Four of the members have jointly condemned China's treatment of its Uyghur population in Xinjiang province. They have also expressed concern over China's de facto military takeover of the South China Sea, its suppression of democracy in Hong Kong and its threatening moves towards Taiwan, which China has vowed to "take back" by 2049. One country, though, has opted out of confronting China: New Zealand.
Surprisingly, perhaps, for a nation that prides itself on respect for human rights, New Zealand's Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta declined to join in this Western condemnation of Beijing, saying "it felt uncomfortable" with expanding the alliance's role by putting pressure on China in this way.
Although New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern admitted on Monday that its differences with China are becoming "harder to reconcile", the country still prefers to pursue its own bilateral relations with Beijing.

Pakatan MPs lodge police reports over ex-IGP’s claim of political interference in force, to push for RCI
KUALA LUMPUR, May 4 — Several Pakatan Harapan (PH) MPs today lodged police reports after former top cop Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador’s exposé, alleging political interference within the agency.
Five MPs lodged individual police reports, while Lembah Pantai MP Fahmi Fadzil lodged a separate one on the recently reported allegation by Abdul Hamid that Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin was meddling with Special Branch (SB) for political mileage.
Fahmi told members of the media here that the PH leadership would also be meeting to pressure the government to form a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to probe Abdul Hamid’s claims about the issues faced by the police force.

| Investors want our neighbours and not us, says Rafidah |

PETALING JAYA: Senior minister for economy Azmin Ali’s remark that the country was being more selective in accepting investments is “the most stupid statement”, says former trade minister Rafidah Aziz.
She said the reality was that neighbouring countries were now more attractive in terms of their investment environment.
Last month, Azmin had denied that Malaysia was losing out on foreign investments to its neighbours, and said the country has become more selective in its investment agenda and wanted to attract quality investments.
Rafidah, who was Malaysia’s longest-serving international trade minister, responded: “That’s the most stupid statement to make. As if we have all these people wanting to invest (in Malaysia). My goodness, we don’t talk like that.
“People will say ‘go to hell’. Your neighbours are more attractive in terms of their investment environment, not because we are selective. The investors don’t want us.”
In January, it was reported that foreign direct investment inflow into Malaysia dropped by 68% in 2020, a larger decline compared to regional neighbours like Singapore, Indonesia and Vietnam.

| The Covid-19 hospital in India so bad patients want to get out |

New Delhi and Meerut, India (CNN)For three days, Goldi Patel, 25, went from hospital to hospital in New Delhi's oppressive summer heat, frantically trying to find one that would keep her husband breathing.
Four hospitals turned away Patel, who is seven months pregnant with the couple's first child, before she finally found one that would take him. But the level of care at Sardar Patel Covid Care Centre and Hospital, a makeshift pandemic facility on the outskirts of the capital, is so lacking that her husband is begging to leave.
Around Sadanand Patel, 30, people are dying. He has barely any contact with doctors, and limited medicine. With 80% of his lungs already infected, he's terrified of what happens if his condition gets worse.
"I am very scared," Sadanand said Saturday from his hospital bed, through labored breathing. "If my health gets critical I don't think they will be able to save me."
As coronavirus cases spiral in India, the country's health care system has been stretched beyond breaking point. Beds, oxygen and medical workers are in short supply. Some Covid patients are dying in waiting rooms or outside overwhelmed clinics, before they have even been seen by a doctor.
Only some Covid-19 patients manage to get admitted into India's overburdened hospitals. But once inside, some face a different kind of terror: an absence of medical care or supplies as people die around them.

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here will hear an application by non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and activists seeking to refer several constitutional questions on the emergency proclamation to the Federal Court on July 22.
The parties want the Federal Court to determine the validity of amendments to Article 150(8) of the Federal Constitution, and whether the courts have jurisdiction to look into the matter.
Judge Ahmad Kamal Md Shahid fixed the date after the groups’ lawyer, New Sin Yew, told the court that they, the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) and five intervenors have filed their affidavits for the application.
PAS leaders Ahmad Fadhli Shaari, Khairil Nizam Khirudin and Mohd Apandi Mohamad, and PKR’s Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin and Mohd Yusmadi Mohd Yusoff were made intervenors during the last hearing on April 1.

PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Najib Razak believes the state of emergency could be hindering foreign investors from coming to Malaysia.
Najib took to Facebook to ask this question after highlighting that Putrajaya recorded less revenue than it projected in the first quarter of 2021 than the second quarter of 2020 despite fewer restrictions under the second movement control order (MCO 2.0) and higher global oil prices.
The government only recorded RM49.5 billion in revenue for the first quarter of this year – 21% of the full-year estimate of RM236.9 billion. The revenue in the second quarter of 2020 was RM56.5 billion.
As for the government’s expenses, it spent RM81 billion for Q2 2020 and RM86.6 billion for Q1 2021.
