Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies sink on mounting Russia-Ukraine tensions Posted by: superadmin - 02-22-2022, 07:32 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies Digital currencies took a beating Tuesday as geopolitical tensions over Ukraine roiled global markets. Bitcoin sank as low as $36,370 in early morning trade, its lowest level in more than two weeks. The world’s biggest cryptocurrency later pared its losses, last trading down 3% in 24 hours to a price of $37,495. Other digital assets also tumbled, with ether falling 4% and XRP sinking 10%. Analysts attributed the drop to escalating tensions over the Russia-Ukraine crisis. Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday ordered troops into two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine, moments after declaring them as independent. The move has fueled fears of a full-blown invasion, sending global stocks sharply lower as traders’ appetite for risk declines. - More -   I never lie: Muhyiddin says no need for ‘sumpah laknat’ unlike Zahid Posted by: superadmin - 02-22-2022, 06:11 PM - Forum: Politics - Replies (2) KUALA LUMPUR – Bersatu president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin does not see any need to take a religious oath over his claims that Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had sought help over his court cases.  This comes after the Umno president threw a challenge to his political rival to take up a “sumpah laknat” to back his allegations. In a press conference today, Muhyiddin said he would not resort to such an action, as he has never lied. He maintained that his claims against Zahid were nothing but the truth. “What I said may be bitter to the ears, but that is the truth. They were not made up just because of politics or the election,” he said today after chairing the National Recovery Council meeting. “Whatever the situation is now, I will only speak the truth, and I hope the rakyat understands.” On February 16, Muhyiddin had claimed during a ceramah in Tangkah, Johor that Zahid had met him to seek intervention in his ongoing court cases in the earlier days of the Pagoh MP’s premiership. - More -   China shows its rejuvenation path to world via Winter Olympics Posted by: superadmin - 02-22-2022, 11:59 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies China shows its rejuvenation path to world via Winter Olympics 14 years after Beijing 2008 By hosting the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, China stunned the world with its modernity and prosperity. Another 14 years on, the country, which has already grown into a major global power, dazzled the world again by hosting a "truly exceptional" Olympic Winter Games. If the summer edition of the Olympics impressed the world with China's booming development, the world, especially the West, witnessed the efficiency of the Chinese mode and system in the working by way of the Winter Olympics, said experts.  Just like the 2008 Olympics, this Winter Games will also have served as a milestone in China's road to its great rejuvenation, they said.  During the closing ceremony of the Beijing 2022, You and Me, the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games theme song, was sung again by a group of children, arranged by Zhang Yimou, the director of Winter Olympics' opening and closing ceremonies, to pay tribute to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, a platform China used to stun the world with its openness and development 14 years ago. - More -   Defying West, Putin orders troops to Ukraine rebel regions Posted by: superadmin - 02-22-2022, 08:32 AM - Forum: Politics - Replies (1) MOSCOW, Feb 22 — President Vladimir Putin ordered Russian troops into two Moscow-backed rebel regions of Ukraine on Monday, defying Western threats of sanctions in a move that could set off a potentially catastrophic war with Kyiv.   Earlier, the Kremlin leader had recognised the independence of two rebel-held areas of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Ukraine, paving the way for an operation to deploy part of the potential invasion force he has massed around the country. In two official decrees, Putin instructed the defence ministry to assume “the function of peacekeeping” in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. In the same documents, Putin also ordered his foreign ministry to “establish diplomatic relations” with the “republics”. The recognition of the breakaway republics, which form an enclave held by Russia-backed rebels since 2014, triggered international condemnation and a promise of targeted sanctions from the United States and the European Union — with a broader package of economic punishment to come in the event of invasion. - More -   Fight BN, not us, Pakatan tells Gerak Independent names running in GE15 Posted by: superadmin - 02-22-2022, 08:18 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – The attempt by Gerak Independent (GI) candidates to wrest several federal seats from Pakatan Harapan (PH) in the 15th general election (GE15) has ruffled feathers in the opposition bloc. Speaking to The Vibes, PKR information chief Datuk Seri Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin said that while he welcomes anyone to contest in whichever seat they see fit, the motives and expectations of the movement should be questioned. “Instead of trying to ‘shake up’ PH seats, the independent candidates should have gone for Barisan Nasional (BN) strongholds. “I presume that they (GI) are not fans of BN, so why are they disturbing PH seats instead of targeting BN areas such as Pekan and Bagan Datuk? “Are they really independent? This decision of theirs can only be perceived as them working in cohorts with BN,” he alleged, adding that if the candidates targeted suburban and rural areas, it would make them “more relevant” should they win. Shamsul, who is Hang Tuah Jaya MP, said that, as per PH’s “big tent” or united front approach, he will be open to collaborating with other groups or parties that share the reform agenda. - More -   Dwayne Ford - Ode To The Heavens Posted by: superadmin - 02-22-2022, 08:12 AM - Forum: Musics - No Replies   Dr M’s ethos vs Najib’s ethos Posted by: superadmin - 02-22-2022, 08:04 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies From Terence Netto Presently, there are two ethos vying for electoral support in the national political arena. One is Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s which holds that the country would be in terminal danger should kleptocrats be endorsed in the Johor state polls on March 12. The other ethos is Najib Razak’s which holds that he is more victim than perpetrator of a convoluted financial scheme (1MBD) in which four judges have already found him guilty. Despite two verdicts against him, Najib walks around like he has done nothing wrong. What’s more, some Malaysians appear to root for him, judging from their reception to his public appearances and responses on social media in which the former prime minister enjoys an outsized presence. Mahathir, who has denounced this adulation as shameful, professes to be appalled by the spectacle. - More -   American Shares Truth on Xinjiang and Tibet Controversies in China Posted by: superadmin - 02-21-2022, 06:39 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies   Race-based society must change to merit-based, says Najib’s ex-aide Posted by: superadmin - 02-21-2022, 03:08 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Former journalist Romen Bose, who became Najib Razak’s political communications consultant, says a new power-sharing arrangement among races is the way to bring about greater unity in the country. It is important for Malaysia to undergo a transition from a race-based society to a merit-based one so that all could compete in the global marketplace, he said in a closing keynote address at a forum on “Projek Amanat Negara XIX – Perpaduan: Our Country’s Contradiction”. - More -   Don’t blame vernacular schools for polarisation, say educationists Posted by: superadmin - 02-21-2022, 11:48 AM - Forum: Educations - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Educationists believe that the vernacular education system is not the cause of racial polarisation but rather how the system and the country are divided, between Bumiputeras and non-Bumiputeras. Cheryl Ann Fernando, who heads a school leadership training project, said there was no correlation between national unity and vernacular schools. “There is no evidence showing that if we abolish the vernacular education system, we can achieve national unity. That is just a simplistic argument that does not hold any truth,” she said in a panel discussion on whether education is a force to unite or divide. Human rights activist and educationist Kua Kia Soong suggested for the Malaysian education system to be integrated instead of vernacular schools being assimilated. “These schools with different languages can be grouped together under one precinct where they share facilities such as IT room and sports centre together,” he said. - More - Pages (1346): « Previous 1 … 902 903 904 905 906 … 1346 Next » Jump to page:
