Women’s groups demand deputy women’s minister Siti Zailah step down Posted by: superadmin - 02-14-2022, 01:02 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Women’s groups demand deputy women’s minister Siti Zailah step down for ‘normalising’ domestic violence KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 14 — A coalition of women’s groups today demanded for Deputy Minister of Women, Family and Community Development Siti Zailah Mohd Yusoff’s resignation for her controversial remark seen to be endorsing domestic violence. In a joint statement, the Joint Action Group for Gender Equality (JAG) said that the comment made by the lawmaker from Islamist party PAS may result in domestic violence being normalised. “The deputy minister must step down for normalising domestic violence, which is a crime in Malaysia as well as for perpetuating ideas and behaviours that are opposed to gender equality,” it said.  “During the movement control order period in 2020 and 2021 alone there were 9,015 police reports on domestic violence; these statistics may not include reports received by NGOs and other support organisations. - More -   Flimsy excuse: talk of subpoena still secondary as Azam uncleared by PSC, says MP Posted by: superadmin - 02-14-2022, 12:37 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – The semantics of an “invitation” and “subpoena” are a secondary issue as Tan Sri Azam Baki has yet to be cleared by the parliamentary select committee (PSC) on the issue of his share ownership which has marred the anti-graft agency he heads, said a DAP lawmaker. Kota Melaka MP Khoo Poay Tiong accused Azam of giving a “flimsy excuse” to not attend the PSC meeting while failing to understand its function in Parliament. To avoid more issues on the issuance of a subpoena, Khoo will be requesting for the PSC to issue one to Azam to attend the meeting under Standing Order 83(2) and Section 16 and 17 of the House of Parliament (Privileges and Powers) Act 1952. This, he said, will remove any legal or technical doubt. “If Azam refuses to comply with the subpoena, he will be in contempt of Parliament.” He added that whether the letter is an “invitation” or a “subpoena”, the PSC is more interested in examining the substance of Azam’s share ownership and if he breached any laws or government regulations. “It is normal practice for the Parliament secretary to issue a letter to government officials to attend PSC meetings. In October 2020, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) issued a similar letter to Azam to attend a meeting, which he complied with. “Why should it be any different now as both the PSC and PAC function under the same parliamentary rules and procedures? - More -   DAP and PH facing tougher times in Penang, says analyst Posted by: superadmin - 02-14-2022, 12:14 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies GEORGE TOWN: The ruling DAP and Pakatan Harapan are expected to face difficulties in Penang at the next general election – but not from Sabah-based Warisan, which says it will contest all the seats in the state. Political scientist Wong Chin Huat said DAP and PH would not have it easy trying to earn their fourth term in office in the state, given the change in the make-up of voters and the country’s politics. He said Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional may win a “few seats” if several factors emerge, the first being a low turnout among traditional supporters of DAP and PH. - More -   It’s only public interest when convenient for Muhyiddin Posted by: superadmin - 02-14-2022, 12:10 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Jam: Former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin, if you and your cohorts have allowed Pakatan Harapan to govern for five years without sabotaging the coalition and let the rakyat decide whether to kick out or retain Harapan after its five-year term, we would not be in this mess. We would have stability, investor confidence, and we would have better people in charge.We would have shown to the world how the rakyat got rid of the kleptocrats through democratic means and earned the respect of the foreign investors and the world community. But Dr Mahathir Mohamad and you, and the rest of the Malay rights groups, could not accept eight non-Malay ministers among the 25-plus ministers, even though they were there to serve the nation. And only for five years. Malaysia and the Malays deserve today all the pain of ineffective government and the ravages of Covid-19. This resulted in the loss of foreign investors and jobs and high inflation. Please don't try to sound noble, you are just another scum working in the pursuit of power, personal glory and wealth. MalaysianSatay: “At the same time, he (Muhyiddin) said the Johor elections would be an opportunity for voters in the state to consider whether they want to continue being associated with corrupt leaders from BN, including from the ‘court cluster’.” Muhyiddin, you always say this. Yet you are associated with them. How to take you seriously when you do the exact opposite of what you say? What public interest? Was it public interest when you helped bring down the elected government? - More -   Oil giants face backlash as they rake in massive profits Posted by: superadmin - 02-13-2022, 07:07 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies PARIS – Soaring energy prices have brought massive profits to oil majors – along with fierce criticism from environmentalists and politicians at a time when consumers are left with rising bills. US firm ExxonMobil, France’s TotalEnergies, and UK giants Shell and BP announced in the past week 2021 profits totalling a whopping US$66.7 billion (RM279.4 billion). It marked a huge turnaround from 2020, when they posted losses as the pandemic emerged, prompting lockdowns that brought the world economy to a grinding halt and caused crude prices to collapse. But oil and gas prices rallied big time last year, surging to US$70 per barrel after briefly sinking into negative territory in 2020. - More -   Refuting PAS leader, PM Ismail Sabri says Umno-led govt stable due to historic MoU Posted by: superadmin - 02-13-2022, 05:26 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Refuting PAS leader, PM Ismail Sabri says Umno-led govt stable due to historic MoU with Pakatan KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 13 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob today touted his federal administration as an example of a stable government led by Umno, contrary to the recent assertion by PAS election director Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor. Ismail Sabri, a vice-president in Umno, proclaimed that his administration has political stability thanks to the unprecedented Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with the country’s largest Opposition coalition, Pakatan Harapan (PH) last year. - More -   DAP, Amanah using Muda to attract young fence-sitters, says analyst Posted by: superadmin - 02-13-2022, 05:13 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: A political analyst said the decision by Amanah and DAP to offer five Malay-majority seats to Muda in the Johor state elections is a strategy to attract young voters sitting on the fence. Azmi Hassan, a senior research fellow at Nusantara Academy for Strategic Research, said the decision by Amanah and DAP was not because they had no confidence in attracting Malay support in the polls. - More -   I’m prepared to meet PSC over shares, says Azam Baki Posted by: superadmin - 02-13-2022, 09:27 AM - Forum: Politics - Replies (1) PETALING JAYA: Top graft buster Azam Baki said he is prepared to be questioned by a parliamentary select committee over his shares in public listed companies, as long as the hearing was in accordance with the law. The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief said he was merely going by the book when he had declined to appear before the committee last month, adding he had only received an “invite” to do so. “Don’t mislead the public into thinking that I was subpoenaed and that by not turning up I was disrespectful and in contempt of Parliament,” he said in an interview with selected media. - More -   Education ministry can’t keep on doing ‘business as usual’, says Maszlee Posted by: superadmin - 02-13-2022, 09:16 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies CYBERJAYA: Former education minister Maszlee Malik has criticised the education ministry for not having a holistic plan to revitalise the country’s education system. When asked about his biggest concerns surrounding education, the Simpang Renggam MP said he was worried about the system’s “lack of direction, uncertain future and unclear direction”. Warning that the pandemic-interrupted classes over the past two years will have a long-lasting impact on students, Maszlee noted that the education ministry had not drawn up post-Covid-19 education plans for this “lost generation”. “The loss of learning over these past two years will have an impact for the next five, 10, 20 years,” he told FMT. “(But) if they (education ministry) carry on doing ‘business as usual’, even though the impact of Covid-19 has been very severe, there is nothing we can expect from them. - More -   Political stability if Umno is kept down, says PAS man Posted by: superadmin - 02-13-2022, 09:12 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The country would be “politically stable” if Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) do not have many seats, PAS election director Sanusi Md Nor said today. Describing Barisan Nasional as backstabbers despite being a partner of the governing coalition, Sanusi said BN, especially Umno, was the cause of many disputes. BN is a greedy coalition partner, demanding posts as ministers and in government companies, he said. - More - Pages (1342): « Previous 1 … 907 908 909 910 911 … 1342 Next » Jump to page:
