In her police report, Sungai Siput PKR member Indrani Selvakumar alleged that a key figure in the company awarded the project was bankrupt and has been for several years. She said this was based on a search she carried out with the insolvency department. “Sanusi needs to clarify how a project worth over RM1 billion can go to a company where a key figure has been declared a bankrupt?” she asked. “Did he do any background checks?” she asked, demanding that Sanusi clarify the matter. - More -   Self-Defeating Tariffs on China - Richard Wolff Posted by: superadmin - 08-11-2021, 05:36 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies   Silly season at Kuala Lumpur PPV with SOPs tossed aside Posted by: superadmin - 08-11-2021, 05:00 PM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Foreigners and locals flooded the Grand Seasons Hotel welfare home vaccination centre (PPV) in Kuala Lumpur this morning, with hundreds queuing up close to one another with no physical distancing. The vaccination centre was packed with people hoping to get vaccinated, as seen in a viral video posted by an Instagram user today. The account administrator, Umirah Mohd Taib, told FMT she was with her husband on her way to Kampung Baru when they were shocked at the sight of large, sardine-packed crowds by the side of the road outside the PPV. The video shows Umirah and her husband attempting to remind people who were lining up to observe physical distancing. According to Umirah, the situation was chaotic at around 11am and the PPV authorities had failed to manage the crowd. - More -   Pregnant wife upset over hubby’s 3-day remand for scolding Kedah MB Posted by: superadmin - 08-11-2021, 03:58 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies GEORGE TOWN: Ika is 24 years old, she was married in December and is two months pregnant – and she is missing her husband very much. She has not been able to speak to him – because he has been detained for scolding Kedah menteri besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor on Facebook over his insensitive remarks. The wife of the IT analyst who was detained yesterday has decried her husband’s three-day detention for allegedly insulting the menteri besar. A tearful Ika said a team of eight policemen, mostly in plainclothes, had come to her home in Taiping at about midnight to pick up her husband. She said her husband complied with their request to follow them to the “balai” (police station). She said that at 2.40am, her husband texted her to say he was okay but she has yet to hear from him since. She said she did not get any response from an investigating officer in Sungai Petani over her husband’s condition. Ika said the message sent to the menteri besar was a private message to his fan page. She said it was sharp criticism, laced with a “high school-level” insult. - More -   King can deny dissolution request and appoint new PM, say lawyers Posted by: superadmin - 08-11-2021, 03:42 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: With the rumour mill abuzz with speculation that the Cabinet will discuss the dissolution of Parliament today, constitutional lawyers say there is no obligation for the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to accept any advice on what to do afterwards. Dominic Puthucheary and Bastian Pius Vendargon both agree that the dissolution of Parliament is at the King’s discretion under the Federal Constitution. He can decide on the next course of action if an election is deemed unwise during the pandemic. “The constitution then allows the King to choose the candidate most ‘likely’ to command majority support,” Puthucheary told FMT. “The word ‘likely’ is used because the Agong does not know whether they have the confidence of the people and the Dewan Rakyat. The next step, as a matter of constitutional duty, is to go to the Dewan Rakyat and get a vote of confidence.” - More -   Tesla sales cratered in China, but investors don't seem to mind Posted by: superadmin - 08-11-2021, 02:49 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies New York (CNN Business)Tesla sales dropped sharply in China, according to a trade group report, suggesting it is losing ground in the world's largest market for both traditional and electric vehicles. The China Passenger Car Association reported that Tesla's sales in China fell to 8,621 cars in July, down nearly 70% from June. But the export of cars built at Tesla's Shanghai plant jumped to 24,347 for July, compared with 5,017 in June. That means total sales of Chinese-built Teslas fell less than 1% overall. Critics say the steep decline of sales to Chinese consumers is yet another sign of the growing problems the company faces in the country. Tesla is contending with increased competition from Chinese EV makers as well as a run of bad publicity, including a recall of virtually all of the cars that have been built in Shanghai. The company also faced protests by Telsa owners at this year's Shanghai auto show over poor car quality and various safety concerns flagged by Chinese regulators. Teslas accounted for just 3.9% of July sales of battery electric vehicles in China, down from 12.6% in June, said analyst Gordon Johnson, who has been among the harshest critics of the company. He said that decline shows Tesla is facing fiercer competition from local EV startups. "Overall, it now seems clear that Tesla has overbuilt Chinese capacity when compared to domestic demand, which will result in further price cuts and margin pressure," Johnson said. "Given China is supposed to be Tesla's 'growth market,' these numbers should concern any Tesla bull." - More -   Muhyiddin to meet party leaders as govt teeters Posted by: superadmin - 08-11-2021, 01:30 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, whose government now looks to be on the brink of collapse, is expected to meet all party leaders who are aligned to him today. Among the items on the agenda are a plan to bring forward the parliamentary sitting to next week and to dissolve Parliament. A party insider said the venue of the meeting has yet to be decided but will likely be held at the Prime Minister’s Office. “The meeting is expected to be held after the Cabinet meeting today,” he told FMT. He said they will discuss the question of Muhyiddin’s majority support in the Dewan Rakyat and the way forward. - More -   Coalition of NGOs wants Parliament to sit on Friday, PM to prove majority Posted by: superadmin - 08-11-2021, 12:35 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: A coalition of nearly 40 NGOs has called on the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to use his power and discretion to instruct Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to reconvene Parliament immediately. In a memorandum submitted to Istana Negara this morning, Gabungan Bertindak Rakyat Malaysia urged Muhyiddin to reconvene Parliament on Friday instead of September. “The decision to postpone the sitting has also sparked controversial political polemic, more so since there is no rational and significant basis to justify the move. “We take it that the prime minister is buying time to enable him to garner as much support from MPs as possible,” the coalition’s coordinator, Mustafa Mansor, told reporters after handing over the memorandum to a palace official. - More - Pages (1153): « Previous 1 … 914 915 916 917 918 … 1153 Next » Jump to page:
