‘History will engrave this stroke’: Global Times editorial Posted by: superadmin - 02-05-2022, 10:58 AM - Forum: International News - No Replies On Friday night, as a "big snowflake" symbolizing human unity lifted an environmentally friendly Olympic torch, Beijing, the world's first "double Olympic city," once again welcomed old and new friends from all over the world with open arms within a span of 14 years.  The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games, the first major global sports event held as scheduled since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, is of symbolic significance to both China and the world.  As Chinese President Xi Jinping pointed out, "history will engrave this stroke." The water of the Yellow River rushed down, the five Olympic rings broke through the ice, and the snowflakes merged into one... In a romantic story of ice and snow, the opening ceremony once again amazed the world. It refreshes glorious memories of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and inspires the emotional resonance of mankind to "come together for a shared future."  At the opening ceremony, people saw the poetic scene of "snowflakes as big as a table," and also felt the sentiment of "building a community with a shared future for mankind." Amid changes and a pandemic unseen in a century, the Beijing Games demonstrates the unity and resilience of mankind, and also brings joy and hope to the world. - More -   When Dr M’s ‘shoot’ became ‘shoo’ – and story on boat people got shot down Posted by: superadmin - 02-05-2022, 10:51 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The biggest news story of 1979 – “shoot on sight” new Vietnamese boat people landing on Malaysian shores – was breaking but the budding journalist responsible was restless.

The story by the rookie journalist of the national news agency, Bernama, shook the globe on June 15. Widespread condemnation erupted. Moses reported Mahathir threatened new arrivals would be shot; the estimated 75,000 refugees in camps would be put back to sea; and Malaysia was building a fleet of boats to facilitate their expulsion. Moses’s opening paragraph stated the authorities planned to shoot refugees if they did not stop coming into Malaysian shores. - More -   A Johor Bersatu division may collapse after exodus by disgruntled members to Warisan Posted by: superadmin - 02-05-2022, 10:30 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Ahead of state polls, a Johor Bersatu division may collapse after exodus by disgruntled members to Warisan JOHOR BARU, Feb 5 ― The Tanjung Piai Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia division is said to be on the brink of collapse following the mass resignation of several key members who are expected to join Parti Warisan Sabah, according to sources.

There’s no shortage of roles in programming. In fact, according the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ occupational outlook handbook, employment in computer and information technology roles is set to grow by 13% from 2020 to 2030, “faster than the average for all occupations.”  This sector is expected to add around 667,600 new jobs to the U.S. economy, based on the 2020 summary data provided by the BLS. Meanwhile, jobs website Glassdoor found that the role of Java developer was the best job to apply for in the U.K. in 2022, according to annual rankings published Wednesday. Java developers work on the design and development of applications used the Java programming language. Glassdoor found that the role pays £55,381 ($75,007) on average in the U.K.  It’s therefore no wonder that many parents are eager for their kids to pursue jobs in this field. Fortunately, even some of the most basic soft skills can give kids a strong head start in coding. - More -   Trump was wrong to seek to overturn Biden win, says Mike Pence Posted by: superadmin - 02-05-2022, 10:07 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Former US Vice-President Mike Pence has dismissed claims by Donald Trump that he could have stopped Joe Biden becoming president last year.

Posted by: superadmin - 02-05-2022, 09:44 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Johor is set to go to the polls and the result could have huge ramifications on the outcome of the next general election, and when it is held. On Jan 22, Johor’s Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar agreed to dissolve the state assembly, paving the way for state elections some time before March 23. The majority held by the Barisan Nasional/Perikatan Nasional government had been reduced to just a single seat in December following the death of Kempas assemblyman Osman Sapian, which led to speculation that elections would soon follow. The Election Commission will announce the dates for polling and nominations on Feb 9. But speculation has already begun not just on the dates but the possible candidates. Already, key figures such as former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin and former Johor menteri besar Khaled Nordin have ruled themselves out, while Muda is tipped to field party president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman. - More -   Zuraida to quit Bersatu in April?
