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. - More -   Johor polls a test bed for parties to gauge capabilities: analysts Posted by: superadmin - 02-18-2022, 09:31 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – The upcoming Johor polls is set to be a test bed for parties contesting, as everyone looks to gauge their influence and capabilities in anticipation of a general election (GE). This is especially so against the sentiments of new and younger voters, analysts said. With almost the entire lot of local parties announcing their inclusion despite it being the third in the last four months, pundits say the raised stakes at the Johor polls with the introduction of Undi18 and automatic voter registrations, is also a probable reason for the high participation rate. Undi18 debuts to Muda’s gain? Pundits agreed that stakes have never been higher for the youth-based party, with Universiti Malaya academic Prof Awang Azman Awang Pawi saying their performance in Johor could influence their overall credibility as a viable option for voters. - More -   Probe Muhyiddin’s claim that Najib, Zahid sought help over court cases, MACC urged Posted by: superadmin - 02-18-2022, 09:18 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) must investigate Muhyiddin Yassin’s statement that former Umno president Najib Razak and current president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had sought his help to clear them of corruption charges, a lawyer said. Syed Iskandar Syed Jaafar al-Mahdzar said if this was true, he believed both men had committed an offence under Section 28 of the MACC Act. “It is attempting to seek gratification for themselves by using the services of Muhyiddin,” he said. Syed Iskandar said the term gratification was given wide meaning in the MACC Act. - More -   YOURSAY | Wrong to ‘manipulate’ children in conversion row Posted by: superadmin - 02-18-2022, 09:15 AM - Forum: Stop Racism and Religious Bigotry - Replies (47) BobbyO: How can children below their natural intelligent age understand the consent to change their religion? How can Perlis mufti Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin resort to such an activity by trying to “bribe” the young children (14-year-old twin girls and 10-year-old boy) to change their beliefs? They should be returned to their mother, Loh Siew Hong, and when they reach the age of a consenting adult, then only should the question be put to them. Even God won't approve of such an act. He had created humans to think freely and give them the ability to decide for themselves. The mufti should have known better than to manipulate young children. Dr Raman Letchumanan: The children were held “captive” or “protected” by the authorities from anyone, not even the mother, who has custodial rights, could visit them without permission. All of a sudden, a man turns up, brings food, asks the children questions which they are not capable of understanding, apparently getting them to answer in front of a video camera (not sure if the answer was coerced), and broadcasts it to the public. No decent human being would do such a despicable act to children. If he is man enough, he would have done it in public in the presence of others and also accord the same opportunity to the mother who is denied meeting, hugging, feeding or talking to the children. Malaysia could answer for this at the UN Human Rights Council next. Meanwhile, let decent human beings judge this act. Hrrmph: What is the point of the Perlis mufti asking the children if they have been coerced into becoming Muslims? Are the children old enough to know what religion they wish to profess? Children cannot convert without the consent of their parents, so asking them and posting the video online is beyond unconscionable. Would these Muslims agree to it if the same thing was done to their children in another country, such as conversion to Christianity without their consent? Except that this kind of nonsense is not imposed anywhere else in the world. Only in Malaysia and some other Muslim countries. Once converted, willingly or by subterfuge, one cannot convert back without being hounded out of the country. Even when these people have no faith. If such a Muslim professes that God is Almighty, these conversions are doing Him no service. He sees what’s in our hearts. - More -   ‘Pathetic’ performance has left U.S. ‘well behind’ China in 5G race Posted by: superadmin - 02-17-2022, 07:54 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies ‘Pathetic’ performance has left U.S. ‘well behind’ China in 5G race, ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt says The U.S. government’s “dithering” has left the country “well behind” China in the race to build out 5G technology, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt said in a Wall Street Journal op-ed. Schmidt and co-author Graham Allison, a Harvard professor, urged the Biden administration to make 5G a “national priority”, otherwise, “China will own the 5G future.” The authors said 5G development is key as applications could “advantage a country’s intelligence agencies and enhance its military capabilities.” The U.S. government’s “dithering” has left the country “well behind” China in the race to build out 5G technology, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt said, as he urged Washington to step up investment in the next-generation internet technology. Writing in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, Schmidt and Graham Allison, a professor of government at Harvard, said that America is “far behind in almost every dimension of 5G while other nations—including China — race ahead.” The authors urged the Biden administration to make 5G a “national priority.” Otherwise, they said, “China will own the 5G future.” 5G refers to next-generation wireless internet that promises super-fast download speeds. But it could also form the basis for industrial and military applications and form a way for devices to communicate with each other. That’s why it’s seen as a critical technology and one of the reasons China is moving quickly with its own 5G rollout and future applications. “The step up to real 5G speeds will lead to analogous breakthroughs in autonomous vehicles, virtual-reality applications like the metaverse, and other areas that have yet to be invented,” Schmidt and Allison wrote. “Applications abound that could advantage a country’s intelligence agencies and enhance its military capabilities.” The pair also accused the U.S. of falling behind in a number of areas. They said that China’s average 5G download speed is significantly faster than the U.S.’s. - More -   Siti Kasim among independents to run in GE15 Posted by: superadmin - 02-17-2022, 04:20 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – Activists such as lawyer Siti Kasim, Mohd Tawfik Ismail and KJ John are among the 10 names under the Gerak Independent (GI) movement slated to contest in the 15th general election (GE15). In a press conference at the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall here today, five candidates unveiled the parliamentary constituencies that they will be vying for. Siti Kasim is expected to run in Batu, while KJ John takes on Petaling Jaya and Raveentheran Suntheralingam eyes Wangsa Maju. Lawyer Charles Chow aims to contest for the Subang seat. The aforementioned four seats are currently held by PKR. In addition, Roland Cheng will aim to wrest the Kota Kinabalu seat from DAP. Meanwhile, former Sg Benut MP Mohd Tawfik Ismail declined to reveal his selected constituency. Instead, he named Langkawi, Pagoh, Ampang, Simpang Renggam, Pontian, and Mersing as possible choices. – The Vibes, February 17, 2022   If they could turn back time: how tech billionaires are trying to reverse ageing Posted by: superadmin - 02-17-2022, 03:03 PM - Forum: Health News - No Replies If they could turn back time: how tech billionaires are trying to reverse the ageing process In the summer of 2019, months before the word “coronavirus” entered the daily discourse, Diljeet Gill was double-checking data from his latest experiment. He was investigating what happens when old human skin cells are “reprogrammed” – a process used in labs around the world to turn adult cells (heart, brain, muscle and the like) – into stem cells, the body’s equivalent of a blank slate. Gill, a PhD student at the Babraham Institute near Cambridge, had stopped the reprogramming process midway to see how the cells responded. Sure of his findings, he took them to his supervisor, Wolf Reik, a leading authority in epigenetics. What Gill’s work showed was remarkable: the aged skin had become more youthful – and by no small margin. Tests found that the cells behaved as if they were 25 years younger. “That was the real wow moment for me,” says Reik. “I fell off my chair three times.” A lot has happened since then. Last summer, Reik resigned as the director of the Babraham Institute to lead a new UK institute being built by Altos Labs, a contender for the most flush startup in history. Backed by Silicon Valley billionaires to the tune of $3bn (£2.2bn), Altos has signed up a dream team of scientists, Gill and numerous Nobel laureates among them. They will start work in the spring at two labs in the US and one in the UK, with substantial input from researchers in Japan. Their aim is to rejuvenate human cells, not with an eye on immortality – as some reports have claimed – but to stave off the diseases of old age that inexorably drive us to the grave. “This is a field whose time has come,” says Prof Dame Linda Partridge at University College London’s Institute of Healthy Ageing. “I think what Altos will do is hugely accelerate the process of finding out whether it is going to deliver or not. We need to see some clinical success stories.” - More -   Anti-hopping law will inspire people to vote at next GE, says Bersih Posted by: superadmin - 02-17-2022, 01:18 PM - Forum: Politics - Replies (1) PETALING JAYA: The passage of an anti-hopping law in Parliament will restore public confidence in the electoral system and give voters a reason to come out in full force at the 15th general election, electoral reform group Bersih said. It said law minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar and Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob must table the proposed bill in the upcoming Parliament session and ensure that it becomes law after considering the inputs of MPs, civil society organisations and the public. - More - Pages (1347): « Previous 1 … 907 908 909 910 911 … 1347 Next » Jump to page:
