Johor Umno agrees to polls, Hasni to meet Sultan Posted by: superadmin - 01-22-2022, 05:14 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies JOHOR BAHRU: Johor menteri besar Hasni Mohammad says he will be going to the palace for an audience with the state ruler following a state government meeting later this afternoon. When met by the media, Hasni said he had already received approval from Johor Umno earlier today to hold the state elections. “I will be having a press conference at 6pm. But first I have to meet with the state’s executive committee and then I will be going to the palace where I have been granted an audience with Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar,” he said. “Everything will be revealed at 6pm. The main thing is that Umno has agreed to a state election.” Source: FMT   LHDN must order tax audit on Azam over share purchase, says lawyer Posted by: superadmin - 01-22-2022, 03:35 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: A senior lawyer has asked the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) to step in and audit Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Azam Baki to ascertain if he had made the necessary declarations on his shareholdings that are in question now. SN Nair said what the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) declared was based on whether he had violated the specific act that showed whether he was in control of his share trading account. “Now it has been proven that he was in control, therefore he must have financed the purchase. “As he may have made profits during the period, a LHDN audit will show if he has violated the Income Tax Act. - More -   Ismail likely to be just a temporary PM, says analyst Posted by: superadmin - 01-22-2022, 09:21 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Ismail Sabri Yaakob is unlikely to move beyond being a temporary prime minister as he lacks the vision and charisma to chart the nation’s future, says a political analyst. Oh Ei Sun of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs said Ismail was a caretaker prime minister at best and predicted that the Umno vice-president would only remain in the top post until the next general election (GE15). He told FMT that the main faction in Umno was confident of winning the next general election and installing its own man for the top post, while Ismail lacked grassroots support. “This administration has been a weak and somewhat reluctant marriage of political convenience from the very onset. As such, it is quite commonplace that members or powerful advisers of the administration would feel free to voice their opinions. - More -   Stupidity and the planet of the apes Posted by: superadmin - 01-22-2022, 09:16 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies It’s about time Malaysia imposes a mandatory IQ test on ministers and politicians. Yup, we are the laughing stock of the world again. With our ministers as jokers, who needs comedians like Harith Iskander. In defence of the Malaysian palm oil industry, plantation industries and commodities minister Zuraida Kamaruddin assaulted the animal kingdom by making the unbelievable claim that planters were not harming orangutans, but that the primates were more likely to kill humans. An excerpt of her speech began circulating on social media this week and is currently trending on Twitter. However, Zuraida said on Thursday that her “orangutan will kill you” remark was taken out of context. She said the video clip had been edited in a way to cast aspersions on her. In the video, Zuraida said: “Even lions and tigers also, when they see, they don’t kill them. They have to have some kind of procedure to faint [sic] them and take them to the zoo. We have all these procedures. We don’t simply kill orangutans.” However, the February 2018 issue of Global Citizen reported data from 36,555 orangutan habitats which reported a drastic decline of the orangutan population in Borneo between 1999 and 2015, leaving the primate population at less than 148,000. The report said the palm oil industry was the main culprit for mass orangutan die-offs, as the relentless and often unregulated pursuit of palm fruit led to deforestation and wildfires throughout Borneo. - More -   Let Zii Jia go and find his own path Posted by: superadmin - 01-22-2022, 09:05 AM - Forum: Badminton - No Replies PinkLynx6432: National shuttler Lee Zii Jia's break-up with Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) is not unexpected following his sometimes erratic performances in several tournaments and sudden withdrawals midway even after solid preparations. There’s also the untenable pressure on Zii Jia by the badminton crazy-for-success Malaysian public and BAM comparing him with former No 1 player Lee Chong Wei and pushing him to achieve Chong Wei's seemingly unachievable performance targets, and his epitomic 2021 All England success when he was crowned singles champion. Zii Jia and Chong Wei are starkly different from each other in terms of style of play, match temperament, mental approach and focus, endurance and stamina, playing to strengths and adjusting to the opponent's playing style. Nevertheless, Zii Jia did not do too badly as he is currently ranked seventh in Badminton World Federation (BWF) ranking. BAM said they want to take him to greater heights and be as successful as Chong Wei. Zii Jia, however, said his main target is to be the best in his career and to stabilise his performance. I see contrasting statements here. Do this reflect a poor understanding of BAM's approach in coaching Zii Jia, who is apparently short of confidence after his epitomic victory in the All England last year? Zii Jia is very different from Chong Wei. Period. Stop comparing them and trying to prod Zii Jia to follow in Chong Wei's footsteps. At this moment, he just can’t. He still hasn't got it altogether. He certainly needs a sports psychologist to calm him down, be more relaxed and not be highly strung, and to allow his stamina to pace rallies and to persevere and fight for crucial points so as to stage winning comebacks. So, over to you, Zii Jia, and hopefully you can manage yourself better than BAM. I see a rough road ahead for you as you need backup and a good and understanding coach. To everyone else, Zii Jia is not Chong Wei and vice versa. Give him a break. Dr Suresh Kumar: Zii Jia has every right to decide his future. He has done his part for the country and BAM should appreciate that. Just take a look at some of our veteran sportsmen and sportswomen. Most of them are left to their own devices in their old age. By the way, he is still representing the country, donning the national colours and carrying the Malaysian flag, so what is the problem with BAM president Norza Zakaria? In the first place, did Norza play any sports in his life? If he did, at what level? Shame on him to threaten Zii Jia. - More -   2022 Edelman Trust Barometer Posted by: superadmin - 01-21-2022, 09:21 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies The 2022 Edelman Trust Barometer is our 22nd annual trust and credibility survey. The survey was powered by Edelman Data & Intelligence (DxI) and consisted of 30-minute online interviews conducted between November 1 and November 24, 2021. Download Full 2022 Report   Trust in China Posted by: superadmin - 01-21-2022, 09:07 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Fraught U.S.-China relations will continue entering 2022. This year, leaders of both countries will be focused on domestic politics, the ongoing pandemic and uneven economic recoveries — challenges that have further added to existing bilateral tensions. It is an important political year in both countries. U.S. President Joe Biden is facing midterm elections with the Republicans likely to gain seats in the House and potentially the Senate, complicating his administration’s ability to implement its policy agenda. By contrast, China's Xi Jinping is on the verge of assuming a third term as President and is strongly positioned to ensure that his vision for China is carried through. - More -   World No 1 rips into BAM over Zii Jia’s 2-year ban Posted by: superadmin - 01-21-2022, 08:11 PM - Forum: Badminton - No Replies GEORGE TOWN: Men’s singles world No 1 Viktor Axelsen and a former deputy minister today ripped into the Badminton Association of Malaysia’s (BAM) two-year ban on national shuttler Lee Zii Jia. The Tokyo 2020 Olympic champion took to Twitter, describing Zii Jia’s predicament with a euphemism of a disgruntled worker who left his job but was later banned by the employer from working anywhere else. “Just listen how crazy this is. This is year 2022. Is this what we want for our sport?” the Danish player tweeted. Zii Jia, the country’s No 1 men’s singles player, announced his resignation from BAM earlier this week. In response, BAM announced today that he will be banned from representing the country in international tournaments for two years effective Jan 18. - More -   Walk-in booster shots for senior citizens from Monday Posted by: superadmin - 01-21-2022, 06:42 PM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR: Senior citizens, aged 60 and above, can get Covid-19 booster vaccines on a walk-in basis from Monday at offsite vaccination centres (PPVs) in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka, Penang and Sarawak. ProtectHealth Corporation Sdn Bhd (ProtectHealth), a wholly owned subsidiary of ProtectHealth Malaysia established under the health ministry, said those going for the walk-in booster jabs need to show their MySejahtera app to prove that they have been fully vaccinated. It said the walk-in services will start at 2pm on the days the offsite PPVs are in operation. - More -   ‘Shame on you BAM!’, netizens react over Zii Jia’s two-year ban Posted by: superadmin - 01-21-2022, 06:33 PM - Forum: Badminton - No Replies KOTA KINABALU: Netizens took to social media today to vent their anger over the two-year ban imposed by the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) on national shuttler Lee Zii Jia. Zhewei Kung pointed out the shame was actually on the part of BAM, saying he believed Zii Jia would have been treated differently by the national associations in other countries. “This is like an employee leaving your company but you as the boss telling him you cannot work anywhere again. “Keluarga Malaysia right? We should have helped each other and not (resorted) to this action.” Naim Yana was more straightforward with his comments. “Killing your own players’ careers just to please yourselves … shame on you BAM!” - More - Pages (1305): « Previous 1 … 898 899 900 901 902 … 1305 Next » Jump to page:
