To save Malaysia, end racism and put technocrats in charge Posted by: superadmin - 08-02-2021, 08:54 AM - Forum: Stop Racism and Religious Bigotry - No Replies Parliament reconvened last week and as rumours spread about tensions between the Palace and the prime minister, Malaysians were left wondering if anything will change. A return to the trappings of democracy with or without a state of emergency, or the formation of a unity government, is not the need of the moment. Malaysia simply needs a revolution that ushers in competence and integrity in leadership and public institutions. Malaysia does not need a unity government to tackle the multifaceted crisis it now faces – it needs saving by apolitical and competent professionals with the highest standard of integrity. A unity government is typically formed when all political parties decide that in the interest of the country they should join forces during a national emergency, regardless of their differences, in order to restore normality. - More -   Muhyiddin had his chance, but he didn’t take it Posted by: superadmin - 08-01-2021, 08:22 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Many Malays were euphoric when Muhyiddin Yassin gained power. We were told to be patient and give him a chance to prove himself. Almost 18 months later, he has failed Malaysia. Instead of surrounding himself with competent Cabinet ministers, he retained many of the deadwood from previous administrations. He enlisted men and women who lacked integrity, who had no dedication to hard work, who lacked attention to detail and were incompetent. The previous Pakatan Harapan administration was riddled with infighting and was slow to institute reforms. Muhyiddin’s Perikatan Nasional (PN) is no better. Its leaders are busy clashing with each other, and holding secret meetings to plot their political futures. - More -   Only fair for Anwar to be made next PM, says Zaid Posted by: superadmin - 08-01-2021, 07:05 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: It is only fair that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong invite opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim to form a new government, former minister Zaid Ibrahim said. “This is what most democracies ala Westminster style will do,” the former de facto law minister said in a statement today. Citing his sources, he said 12 Umno MPs had already given their support to Anwar. This was despite deputy prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob insisting that 40 BN MPs were supporting Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin. He added that the King could appoint almost anyone to be the next prime minister so long as he was satisfied that he had the support of the majority of the MPs. - More -   'Let Parliament Vote On The SOE, That's An Order'! What The King Has Told Moo Posted by: superadmin - 08-01-2021, 06:18 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies 'Let Parliament Vote On The SOE, That's An Order'! What The King Has Told Moo - EXCLUSIVE! According to a leaked letter apparently sent from the Istana Negara yesterday to Malaysia’s embattled prime minister the Agong has responded with a furious challenge to his Prime Minister, following Mahiaddin’s defiant statement yesterday afternoon insisting the King must follow the Cabinet advice and accept its decision to revoke the State of Emergency without a vote in Parliament. The emergence of the private letter from the King to his Prime Minister just hours after it was sent represents a dramatic further escalation of the Constitutional Crisis in Malaysia and has pitched the King now squarely behind the rights of Parliament to decide on the future of the PN government. Mahiaddin had been responding to a public statement made earlier in the day by the King, in which the monarch revealed his ‘sadness’ that Law Minister Takiyuddin Hassan had “misled Parliament” on 26th July with his surprise announcement that the State of Emergency had been revoked the previous week (backdated to 21st  July). The King pointed out that he had not signed off on this decision and that had to the contrary told Takiyuddin and Muhyiddin that he expected the matter to be tabled, debated and voted on by MPs. The PN government responded to the publishing of that statement by immediately suspending Parliament half way through its sitting (on the usual excuse of Covid) and ministers had then retired to Mahiaddin’s own house before issuing their public rebuttal telling the King he must comply with their Cabinet decision. - More -   Ask your boss to do what you did in Perak, MP tells ex-MB Posted by: superadmin - 08-01-2021, 03:14 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Ahmad Faizal Azumu should advise his party president Muhyiddin Yassin to have his support tested in Parliament, just as the former Perak menteri besar had done in November, says an MP. Ipoh Barat MP Wong Kah Woh was responding to reports of the Bersatu deputy president denying that Parliament was postponed due to fears of the government’s stability, saying he “cannot be more wrong”. “It is clear that Covid-19 was only used as an excuse for the prime minister to hide from having a parliamentary sitting on Monday, despite the fact that the government had already arranged for a five-day sitting well designed not to have any session for voting,” he said in a statement. According to him, Faizal was “definitely a better man” compared to Muhyiddin as the former menteri besar had not blocked a motion of confidence against him in the Perak state assembly last year. “He may have lost that confidence vote and resigned, but he has marked himself as the first Perak menteri besar who was daring enough to face a confidence vote in the state assembly.” - More -   Brace for more ‘brought in dead’ cases from home quarantine, says doctor Posted by: superadmin - 08-01-2021, 02:23 PM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The government’s decision to allow mild and asymptomatic patients in the Klang Valley to undergo home quarantine may increase the brought-in-dead (BID) rate, says a volunteer doctor at a Covid-19 Assessment Centre (CAC) in the capital. Based on the health ministry’s reports, a total of 264 BID cases were recorded across the country from July 15-28. Selangor recorded the highest number, with 122 cases, during this period. The doctor, who was speaking to FMT on condition of anonymity, said that with the Delta variant now spreading across the country, many patients were suffering from “happy hypoxia”, where they did not show any symptom of breathing difficulty despite low oxygen levels in their body. “We find that with this new variant, the number of deaths at home due to Covid-19 is increasing. “Although the patients look all right, many were found to have died in their sleep. This ‘happy hypoxia’ can be considered a silent killer,” said the doctor. - More -   Why A Looming Copper Shortage Has Big Consequences For The Green Economy Posted by: superadmin - 08-01-2021, 10:37 AM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies   WHO officials try to figure out why delta is so much more dangerous Posted by: superadmin - 08-01-2021, 10:16 AM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies WHO officials try to figure out why delta is so much more dangerous than earlier Covid strains World Health Organization officials said they are still trying to understand why the delta variant is more transmissible and potentially makes people sicker than the original coronavirus strain. “We’re really trying to get a better handle on why the delta variant is more transmissible,” said Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO’S technical lead on Covid-19, said at a press briefing Friday. “There are certain mutations in the delta variant that, for example, allow the virus to adhere to a cell more easily. There is some laboratory studies that suggest that there’s increased replication in some of the modeled human airway systems.” New data is emerging around the world on the highly transmissible strain in recent weeks as scientists try to better understand the new threat. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned lawmakers Thursday that new research indicates the delta strain is more contagious than swine flu, the common cold and polio. It is as contagious as chickenpox. It also appears to have a longer transmission window than the original Covid-19 strain and may make older people sicker, even if they’ve been fully vaccinated. - More -   Afghanistan: Fighting rages as Taliban besiege three key cities Posted by: superadmin - 08-01-2021, 10:00 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Fighting is raging around three major cities in southern and western Afghanistan as Taliban militants seek to seize them from government forces. Taliban fighters have entered parts of Herat, Lashkar Gah and Kandahar. They have made rapid gains in rural areas since it was announced almost all foreign troops would go by September. But the fate of these key cities could be crucial amid fears of a humanitarian crisis and how long government forces will be able to hold out. The fundamentalist Islamist militia is already thought to have captured up to half of all Afghanistan's territory, including lucrative border crossings with Iran and Pakistan. - More -   So, will we have an interim PM? Posted by: superadmin - 08-01-2021, 09:25 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies The writer Ambrose Bierce sarcastically defined politics in The Devil’s Dictionary thus: “A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage.” I don’t think any Malaysian would disagree with this definition, especially not after witnessing the heady happenings of the past year and the culmination of months of political shenanigans in Parliament this past week. It is very clear that personal and party interests are masquerading as national interest or principles. Many members of the public have expressed disgust, with some asking whether Parliament can go any lower. We saw, for instance, how the government, to avoid a vote that could show it did not have majority support in Parliament, informed MPs that the emergency ordinances had been earlier revoked by the Cabinet and, therefore, there was no need for it to be debated and voted upon. The announcement came as a surprise to the MPs and to the public. We saw how the speaker of the Parliament, who is supposed to be impartial, behaved. We saw how Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin was criticised by MPs and citizens on social media for leaving without answering questions. We saw how Takiyuddin Hassan, the minister in the Prime Minister’s Department in charge of law, handled himself in the august House. Heck, we even saw the Covid-19 virus – the SARS-CoV-2 – make a cameo appearance in Parliament, causing the House to be shut down for well past an hour and for the sitting to resume only to be adjourned. The virus proved pivotal to the plot of the drama. - More - Pages (1126): « Previous 1 … 901 902 903 904 905 … 1126 Next » Jump to page:
