PETALING JAYA: The country’s finances are not as pretty as they have been made out to be, Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Muhyiddin Yassin said today, vowing to make further exposures on the matter soon.
He gave clues of how far stretched the country’s treasury was after weathering the twin crises of the economy and the pandemic, calling it the “biggest challenge”.
“Yesterday, I asked for a report from the finance minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz. One day I will expose the state of our finances. I was once there (as the prime minister).
“How much longer can we keep this up? Is our annual revenue enough to pay salaries, development? Is there enough to pay pensions, which is huge,” he said today at the launch of the Johor PN in Kota Tinggi.

From Kua Kia Soong
Lest we forget, adults can gain great insights from the curious questions young folk ask and, arguably, it is the role of the younger generations to question everything.
From the ancient Greeks to Einstein and Marx and on to the youth revolts in so many countries in more recent times, the young have played a critical role in questioning the status quo.

"China's 'Zero-Covid' Policy Holds Lessons for Other Nations," reads the headline of an article in The Wall Street Journal Wednesday. This surprised many people, who questioned whether this was the same media that had constantly attacked China on its COVID-19 prevention and control strategy.
Such "abnormality" can also be seen in a recent Bloomberg article, entitled "Why the World Needs China's Covid-Zero Policy," which affirms the role China's dynamic zero-COVID policy has been playing in safeguarding global supply chains.
It seems like some US media outlets, willingly or not, have finally woken up to reality. According to Li Haidong, a professor at the Institute of International Relations of the China Foreign Affairs University, this is because it is clear the impact of different epidemic responses in China and the US on each nation's economic and social development. Facts and results of Beijing's epidemic prevention and control policy are just too hard to deny now.

President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Thomas Bach hailed the closed-loop management as "very successful as it has made everyone in the bubble feel safe and comfortable.
Bach's remark was made at a press briefing on Friday at the main media center of Beijing Winter Olympics. He stressed that Beijing's outstanding anti-epidemic measures were a message to the world: as long as the spirit of solidarity is upheld and everyone contributes, a world class event can be held amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

KOTA KINABALU – Warisan is keen to contest in state seats within Johor’s Pasir Gudang federal constituency and is currently identifying the most suitable local candidates to represent them.
In an article by the Star, its president Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal reportedly said that his party will be announcing their list once the time is right.
“Warisan had gone nationwide in December last year, but we did not contest in the Melaka state election to give way to Pakatan Harapan (PH).
“However, this time, we feel that we need to provide a choice to the people of Johor,” he reportedly said in a press conference after meeting with Pasir Gudang residents near Pasar Muafakat Sabah in Pasir Gudang, yesterday.

The youth-led party, in facing its inaugural election, said it has held several official talks with PKR leadership but yet the party ended negotiations when it decided to contest in 20 seats.
“Despite that, Muda has conveyed to DAP and Amanah its intentions to avoid seat clashes with PKR and that it is open to continuing talks.
