Hamzah slams Dr M over push to end emergency Posted by: superadmin - 04-22-2021, 04:32 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PUTRAJAYA: Home minister Hamzah Zainudin has taken a swipe at former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad and others who are calling for an end to the emergency. “These people don’t understand. If there was no emergency, we might not be able to lower the numbers (Covid-19 cases) as soon as possible,” he told reporters after an event here today. Two days ago, several opposition leaders went to the palace to hand over a memorandum requesting for an audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. Earlier today, it was reported that the King agreed to grant an audience to the opposition’s Tamat Darurat committee to hand over a petition calling for an end to the emergency. - More -   Suhakam: Authorities should renew 122-year-old Convent Bukit Nanas’ land lease Posted by: superadmin - 04-22-2021, 04:25 PM - Forum: Local News - No Replies Suhakam: Authorities should renew 122-year-old Convent Bukit Nanas’ land lease, no school should be told how to run operations KUALA LUMPUR, April 22 — The authorities should renew the lease for the land where SMK Convent Bukit Nanas (CBN) is located, the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) said today. Suhakam said it shared the concerns by various organisations and individuals over the land office’s decision to not renew the 122-year-old school’s land lease and the possible need for it to be relocated from its location in the capital city. “Suhakam is of the view that the operations of the school should remain as status quo and the land lease should be renewed. “As one of the country’s high-achieving schools, CBN should be allowed to continue with its educational work as they have done for more than a century,” Suhakam said in a brief statement today. - More -   Agong grants audience to committee seeking an end to Emergency, says Khalid Samad Posted by: superadmin - 04-22-2021, 04:21 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR, April 22 — The Yang di-Pertuan Agong has granted an audience to the Committee for Ending the Emergency Declaration, its chairman Khalid Samad said today. The Shah Alam MP, however, said that a date has yet to be set for the meeting, adding that the invitation from the palace, informing the committee of the monarch’s consent, was signed by Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah’s senior private secretary, Colonel (Rtd) Datuk Nazim Mohd Alim. “I am pleased to inform you that this morning I received a letter from Istana Negara saying that His Majesty, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, has agreed to grant an audience to the Committee for Ending the Emergency Declaration, to submit a petition to appeal for an end to the Emergency. “Although the date for the audience has yet to be determined, we are confident that it will be set as soon as possible to enable us all to appear before the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to submit the appeal petition. - More -   Sarawak PH seen as having no choice but to back Anwar Posted by: superadmin - 04-22-2021, 11:11 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUCHING: Sarawak Pakatan Harapan’s recent declaration of support for Anwar Ibrahim’s bid to be prime minister has prompted two political analysts to remark that it is looking only at what is politically expedient. Awang Azman Awang Pawi of Universiti Malaya and Azmi Hassan, formerly of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, said the Sarawak chapter of the opposition coalition had no choice but to switch its support from Shafie Apdal to the PKR president because Shafie’s party, Warisan, lost control of Sabah in last September’s state election. Sarawak PH secretary Alan Ling, who is a DAP member and a senator, recently said the state chapter would support Anwar, adding that he hoped voters would give PH another chance in the coming general election. The statement departed from Sarawak DAP chairman Chong Chieng Jen’s declaration last year that his party would support Shafie for prime minister although Anwar was the PH presidential council’s choice. Shafie was then the Sabah chief minister. - More -   GE15: PAS ready to mediate Umno-Bersatu dispute, says Dewan Ulama chief Posted by: superadmin - 04-22-2021, 10:50 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PASIR PUTEH, April 21 — PAS is ready to be the mediator to resolve the dispute between Umno and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) before the 15th general election (GE15) for the sake of the country’s administration, said PAS Dewan Ulama chief Datuk Nik Muhammad Zawawi Salleh. He said his party could arrange a meeting to work out a common ground for the two parties to end their bickering. “If a solution is not found to achieve consolidation (of the parties involved), we worry it may affect the position of Malay Muslims in the country,” he told reporters at his office here today. He was asked to comment on the concerns of various parties that the Malay community might lose its dominance in the country’s administration after the next general election if the squabbling among Malay parties was not stopped. Nik Muhammad Zawawi said the dispute between Umno and Bersatu could be resolved if both parties returned to the negotiating table. “PAS will continue to strive to unite Muslims, as it is the second agenda of Islam,” he said. Umno has said that it would not work with Bersatu in GE15. — Bernama   Italian hospital worker allegedly skipped work for 15 years straight Posted by: superadmin - 04-22-2021, 10:46 AM - Forum: International News - No Replies Italian hospital worker allegedly skipped work for 15 years straight, received salary of RM2.7m over the years KUALA LUMPUR, April 22 — An Italian man earned the title of ‘king of absentees’ by local media when he was accused of not showing up to work for 15 years. The shocking number of years is said to have broken the national record. The hospital worker allegedly started skipping work at Ciaccio hospital in the southern city of Catanzaro in the Calabria region in 2005. Despite his absenteeism, the man still received his salary, totalling €538,000 (RM2.7 million) over the years where he had stopped turning up to work. Also being investigated in connection with the case are six managers at the hospital for enabling the man’s alleged absenteeism. The police said the man was a civil servant who was assigned to work in the hospital in 2005. It was at this point he stopped going into work, the police said. Police added that the man threatened his manager when he had tried to stop her from lodging a disciplinary report against him. The manager later retired and her successor and human resources failed to notice the employee’s ongoing absence. The arrests are part of a larger police investigation into absenteeism and suspected fraud which is rife in the Italian public sector. - More -   Invoke survey: Perikatan has rocky road to GE15 unless economic revival on the cards Posted by: superadmin - 04-22-2021, 09:56 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR, April 22 — Public discontent with the Perikatan Nasional (PN) administration is gradually rising as Malaysians become increasingly distressed with the state of the economy, according to an Invoke survey.  In the survey commissioned by Malay Mail, 62 per cent respondents polled in February said they were dissatisfied with the country’s economic situation, sharply higher from 49 per cent in July 2020.  Those who said they were satisfied consequently declined from 41 per cent in July last year to 32 per cent in February. “When compared to the 50-50 split that [Barisan Nasional] faced on the eve of [the 14th general election], there can be only one conclusion — PN is in trouble. “The ruling coalition's attempts to resuscitate the economy have understandably been impacted by the second and third Covid-19 waves. “However, for as long as the PN government is unable to oversee an economic turnaround, it will be saddled with the stigma of failing to alleviate economic hardship — on a level far surpassing BN’s prior to GE14,’’ said the survey.  The Invoke survey, titled “Uncharted Territory”, polled 7,860 registered voters between December 18, 2020 and February, 21, 2021. - More -   Plan to sack Yeo never discussed in Cabinet, says Salahuddin Posted by: superadmin - 04-21-2021, 03:14 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The Pakatan Harapan (PH) Cabinet never discussed sacking then energy, science, technology, environment and climate change minister Yeo Bee Yin, says one of its former members. Salahuddin Ayub, the former agriculture and agro-based industry minister said the matter was never even discussed by the PH Presidential Council. This comes after DAP’s Liew Chin Tong claimed former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad wanted to sack Yeo over the Lynas issue. During her tenure, Yeo had set new conditions for the renewal of the operating licence for the Lynas rare earth plant. Liew had made the claim in his book titled “Lim Kit Siang: Patriot. Leader. Fighter”. “At the Wednesday Cabinet meeting on Aug 21, 2019, Mahathir said he wanted to make a minor change to the Cabinet portfolios. The news leaked and we were anxious,” Liew said in the book. - More -   Here’s everything Apple just announced: New iPad Pros, colorful iMacs, AirTags etc, Posted by: superadmin - 04-21-2021, 02:56 PM - Forum: Hand Phones, Tablets and OS - Replies (1) Here’s everything Apple just announced: New iPad Pros, colorful iMacs, AirTags and more Apple just held its first product launch event of the year, where it announced a colorful new iMac and an updated iPad Pro with 5G and the M1 chip that’s also used in the company’s desktop computers.

An insult to voters Posted by: superadmin - 04-21-2021, 11:39 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies When a person loses his deposit in three state and parliamentary elections but ends up being appointed as a deputy minister, we can safely assume that “something is rotten in the state of Denmark” so to speak. I hope readers will not construe this as a personal attack: the whole process of Guan Dee Koh Hoi’s appointment has nothing to do with him or his character, but shows how low government leaders continue to stoop so that they stay in power. Guan Dee, who is secretary-general of Sabah’s Party Solidariti Tanah Airku (STAR), was appointed as deputy minister for tourism, arts and culture on April 16 after being appointed a senator. He stood for election to the Sabah state assembly in 2004 and 2008, and for a parliamentary seat in 2013. Each time, he contested under a different party ticket. Each time he fared miserably. His last outing in 2013 was the most pathetic: he obtained a mere 409 votes or 1.6% of the total votes cast in the parliamentary constituency of Beaufort in Sabah. One can’t be wrong to assume that such candidates have been totally rejected by the people, whose votes are a strong signal that they don’t want this kind of politician to make laws that run our lives. - More - Pages (1032): « Previous 1 … 907 908 909 910 911 … 1032 Next » Jump to page:
