Kit Siang’s aide: RM50,000 fine failed to deter spread of Covid-19 Posted by: superadmin - 04-30-2021, 11:30 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Kit Siang’s aide: RM50,000 fine failed to deter spread of Covid-19, only burdened people KUALA LUMPUR, April 30 — Increasing the compound fines for Covid-19 violations to RM50,000 has not deterred the spread of the disease, but rather, burdened ordinary citizens, says lawyer Syahredzan Johan. Instead of taxing the public, he said it would be better to increase awareness while making sure no double standards are practised in dishing out punishment. “Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri said this increase in compound was to ‘protect the people’ and not persecute them. However it is clear that increasing the compound has not brought about the desired result in controlling the spread of the disease, but rather, put pressure on the people. “I urge the government to retract this incredibly high increase in compound that isn’t helping them implement their SOPs. If the government feels there is a need to make sure SOPs are adhered to they should increase awareness and at the same time ensure no double standards are practised when executing these existing rules,” he said in a statement. - More -   UUM must investigate lecturer for stoking religious tensions, says Anwar Posted by: superadmin - 04-30-2021, 10:59 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) must launch an investigation into controversial lecturer Kamarul Zaman Yusoff for allegedly stoking religious tensions in comments made about a DAP MP. Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim said Bukit Mertajam MP Steven Sim’s assistance to a Malay youth who was facing some tough times had been “made an issue” by the academic. Sim had presented the youth, who is a food delivery rider, with a motorcycle after finding out he was using a borrowed bicycle to get by. Kamarul then accused Sim of “Christianisation” and warned Malay-Muslims against accepting help from “Christian evangelists”. - More -   汽車 / 火车 - 程璧 Posted by: superadmin - 04-29-2021, 07:53 PM - Forum: Chinese Songs - No Replies 去什麼地方呢 這麼晚了 美麗的火車 孤獨的火車 淒苦是你 汽笛的聲音 令人記起了 許多事情 為什麼 我不該揮舞手巾 乘客多少 都跟我有親 去吧 但願你一路平安 橋都堅固 隧道都光明     Approaching Daliang Mountain Posted by: superadmin - 04-29-2021, 06:54 PM - Forum: Interesting Videos - No Replies   YOURSAY | For Dr M, it is always 'my way' or the highway Posted by: superadmin - 04-29-2021, 03:45 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Apa Nama: When a leader does not have a vision for the long-term welfare of a nation and its next generation (Mahathir's Vision 2020 is a scam as far as I am concerned) and gets carried away with the dollar sign, this is what happens. This ultra-Malay called Mahathir is actually not a smart fellow. He brought great havoc to our country, the institutions and the civil service. All of which still have the stains and scars left behind by him. As I have often mentioned, he is always a menace and nuisance to Malaysia. I am not surprised that he will sack anyone who crosses his way because his personal song is Frank Sinatra’s ‘My Way’. - More -   Apple profits double as it squares up to Facebook Posted by: superadmin - 04-29-2021, 03:31 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies A surge in iPhone sales, especially in China, has led to a doubling of profits at Apple since the start of the pandemic. The results reflected "optimism" about the days ahead, Apple's boss said. Rival tech firm Facebook also reported bumper revenues and profits. But the social media giant warned Apple's latest software release could undermine its prospects later in the year. Apple has seen sales of its phones, apps and other devices rise throughout the pandemic, as consumers spent more time working, shopping and seeking entertainment online. Customers continued to upgrade to Apple's new 5G phones which were rolled out last year, and also bought Mac computers and iPads to tackle working and studying from home, the firm said. Fitness and music apps also saw a lockdown boost. Sales to China nearly doubled, leading to overall revenues for the first three months of this year of $89.6bn (£64.2bn), more than 50% up compared to a year earlier. Profit was $23.6bn, up from $11.3bn for the same period last year. "This quarter reflects both the enduring ways our products have helped our users meet this moment in their own lives, as well as the optimism consumers seem to feel about better days ahead for all of us," said chief executive Tim Cook. - More -   China successfully launches first module of planned space station Posted by: superadmin - 04-29-2021, 03:10 PM - Forum: Astronomy - No Replies (CNN)For more than two decades, the International Space Station has orbited 227 nautical miles above Earth with more than 200 astronauts from 19 different countries enjoying stints aboard. But its role as the sole venue for a continuous human presence in space, scientific research and a testing ground for future space exploration is coming to a close, potentially signaling an end to an unparalleled era of international cooperation in space. China, whose astronauts have long been excluded from the ISS, successfully launched the first module of its planned space station on Thursday morning from the Wenchang launch site in the southern island of Hainan, according to the China National Space Administration. The core module, currently the largest spacecraft developed by China, was launched into low earth orbit by a Long March-5B rocket, marking the first step of China's efforts to build its own station in two years. "Currently, the facilities and equipment of Wenchang launch center are in good condition, and all the personnel participating in the program are making concerted efforts for the complete success of the mission," according to a statement on the website of China Manned Space Agency before the launch. Russia has also said that it will leave the ISS project in 2025 and plans to build its own space station that could launch in 2030 -- if Russian President Vladimir Putin gives the go-ahead. - More -   Don’t appoint politicians to company boards, says SC Posted by: superadmin - 04-29-2021, 02:56 PM - Forum: Business. Economy and Investment - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Active politicians should not be appointed to the boards of listed companies, the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) said. Instead, it said, all board members should be nominated based on their qualifications and legal responsibilities. This is to promote the exercise of objective and independent judgment in line with global best practices. Today, the statutory body updated the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance (MCCG), which sees the introduction of new best practices and guidelines to strengthen corporate governance culture of listed companies. - More -   Report: DAP must merge with other parties, or face a slow death, says Ronnie Liu Posted by: superadmin - 04-29-2021, 10:56 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR, April 29 — One of the best prospects for a united Malaysia would be for DAP to merge with PKR and Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah), Sungai Pelek assemblyman Ronnie Liu said. In doing so, he said this will lead to the creation of a more representative and larger multi-racial party. “All three should dissolve and merge into one pluralistic party with a progressive outlook. “I really hope that one day Pakatan Harapan will be a single, broad-based party instead of a coalition,” Liu said in a Malaysiakini report today. - More -   Malaysia welcomes investments from China’s Greater Bay Area, says deputy minister Posted by: superadmin - 04-29-2021, 10:49 AM - Forum: Business. Economy and Investment - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR, April 29 ― Malaysia is always ready to welcome investors from China’s Greater Bay Area in various sectors ― especially the forerunners in high technology segments such as biotechnology and smart-home automation ― to explore the opportunities available in Malaysia. Malaysia’s pro-business policies complement the Chinese government’s push to increase China’s overseas investment and cooperation with other countries, said International Trade and Industry (Miti) Deputy Minister Senator Datuk Lim Ban Hong.     “I am sure that China’s investors will find Malaysia an exciting base to expand their overseas operation, and I am confident that existing stakeholders will also attest to our commitment towards economic progress and business friendliness. “Hence, we look forward to welcoming more businesses, from both China and Malaysia to further collaborate together for mutually beneficial outcomes on its road to recovery post-Covid-19,” he said during a virtual roundtable session with a delegation from Shenzhen, China. - More - Pages (1032): « Previous 1 … 901 902 903 904 905 … 1032 Next » Jump to page:
