One vehicle stolen every one hour 15 minutes in Malaysia, says vehicle theft reductio Posted by: superadmin - 04-08-2021, 08:32 PM - Forum: Local News - No Replies One vehicle stolen every one hour 15 minutes in Malaysia, says vehicle theft reduction council KUALA LUMPUR, April 8 — A vehicle is stolen every one hour 15 minutes in Malaysia, according to Vehicle Theft Reduction Council of Malaysia Berhad (VTREC) coordinator, Mas Tina Abdul Hamid. She said a study conducted by VTREC last year found that 20 vehicles were stolen each day in 2020. “However, the number has dropped following close cooperation between VTREC, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) and other agencies,” she told reporters after the launching of the PDRM-VTREC Vehicle Theft Awareness Campaign, here, today. Meanwhile, deputy director (Intelligence/Operations) of Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department, Datuk Dev Kumar said the number of reported vehicle theft cases nationwide had shown a decline each year. - More -   Heng Swee Keat takes himself out of the running for Singapore PM, cites short runway, Posted by: superadmin - 04-08-2021, 06:56 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Heng Swee Keat takes himself out of the running for Singapore PM, cites short runway, age and health as factors SINGAPORE, April 8 — Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat has taken himself out of the running for the top job, two-and-a-half years after emerging as the frontrunner to succeed Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. Conveying his decision in a letter to PM Lee today, a copy of which was sent to newsrooms, Heng, who is also finance minister, said that he would have too short of a runway — given that he would be near his mid-60s when he takes over as prime minister after the Covid-19 crisis is over. It would thus be in Singapore’s best interests for a younger member of the Cabinet to steer the country forward. Heng, who turns 60 this year, will also relinquish his finance minister portfolio at the next Cabinet reshuffle, which is expected to be announced in about two weeks. He will stay as deputy prime minister and coordinating minister for economic policies. - More -   Party polls only way for Umno to resolve issues, says supreme council member Posted by: superadmin - 04-08-2021, 06:47 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies BUKIT MERTAJAM, April 8 — Umno Supreme Council member Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican has urged the party to hold elections as soon as possible to resolve its internal issues. Reezal Merican, who is also Youth and Sports Minister and Kepala Batas MP, said Umno elections should also be expedited as the term for Supreme Council members and division office bearers ends in May. “If the DAP and other parties can hold party elections without delays, there is no reason why Umno can’t do the same. Party elections must be held as soon as possible as it is the only democratic way (to resolve the party’s issues). “By holding elections, we will send out the message that we are sticking firm to our promises and oaths,” he told reporters after officiating the 2021 state-level Teachers Day celebrations here today. - More -   New Rule: Losing to China | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) Posted by: superadmin - 04-08-2021, 06:37 PM - Forum: Interesting Videos - No Replies   After spending 44 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit Posted by: superadmin - 04-08-2021, 06:10 PM - Forum: Stop Racism and Religious Bigotry - No Replies After spending 44 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, this man says his life is worth more than $750,000 (CNN)Ronnie Long sat in jail in North Carolina for 44 years for a crime he didn't commit, and now he is planning to fight a law that says he is only owed $750,000. Long, who is Black, was accused of raping a White woman in 1976. An all-White jury found him guilty of rape and burglary and sentenced him to life in prison. After maintaining his innocence, and pursuing a lifetime of appeals and denied motions, he was released by a pardon from the governor in December 2020 after the courts found Long had been wrongly convicted. Since his sentencing, "a trickle of post-trial disclosures has unearthed a troubling and striking pattern of deliberate police suppression of material evidence," US Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Stephanie Thacker wrote. - More -   Tender cartel hurt bumis the most, says group Posted by: superadmin - 04-08-2021, 03:23 PM - Forum: Local News - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has been lauded for crippling a cartel that was monopolising government tenders, reportedly headed by a wealthy and powerful “Datuk”. Calling it a betrayal of the rakyat’s trust and an embarrassment to the civil service, anti-graft group Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M) said bumiputra contractors were the most affected by this syndicate. “Bumiputras are the biggest losers because honest companies are losing out on these contracts. “This is despite the government’s efforts to uplift the bumiputras through well-planned affirmative action policies and awarding of contracts,” TI-M president Muhammad Mohan said in a statement today. - More -   Can Zahid survive pressure from within and outside Umno? Posted by: superadmin - 04-08-2021, 11:56 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is under tremendous pressure to quit his post but some analysts believe he will survive, at least until the party holds its presidential election. The pressure on Zahid is coming both from within and outside the party. Political strategist Syed Arabi Idid said Zahid appeared to have solid ground support at the recent Umno annual general assembly. However, he said, the response of Umno ministers in Muhyiddin Yassin’s Cabinet to the assembly’s decision to cut ties with PPBM and Perikatan Nasional and for them to quit their government posts, had not been well received. - More -   Focus on inclusion, not alienation, in dealing with LGBT, Putrajaya told Posted by: superadmin - 04-08-2021, 11:42 AM - Forum: Local News - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Suhakam has urged the government to reconsider its decision to impose heavier punishments for offences associated with the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. Commissioner Hishamudin Yunus said the best approach in dealing with LGBT individuals was to “help integrate them into mainstream society” by respecting their constitutional rights to equality, privacy and a life of dignity. Speaking to FMT, the former Court of Appeal judge said it should not be acceptable to discriminate against the community or to treat its members as criminals. He noted that it was not an offence to be a transgender under any of the state shariah criminal enactments and also that crossdressing was no longer a shariah crime in all states except Kedah, Kelantan, Perlis and Sabah. - More -   Report: Umno to contest all three seats in Pagoh for GE15, says division chief Posted by: superadmin - 04-08-2021, 11:36 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR, April 8 — Umno will contest all three seats in the Pagoh constituency, its division chief Ismail Mohamed said. He said the Umno division had in a recent Pagoh delegates’ meeting decided that the party will defend all three seats — Pagoh Parliamentary seat, and two state seats Bukit Kepong and Bukit Pasir. “It was a unanimous decision made by the delegates, while respecting the state level decision that Umno will contest in 25 seats in Johor except Pagoh,” Ismail said in a report by Utusan Malaysia today. While he stressed that the division respects decisions made at the state level, at the end of the day, Ismail said it boils down to what the Umno supreme council and grassroots say. - More -   Warisan can’t fight alone after Pakatan snub, needs partner to stay relevant Posted by: superadmin - 04-08-2021, 11:28 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Analysts: Warisan can’t fight alone after Pakatan snub, needs partner to stay relevant KOTA KINABALU, April 8 — After Parti Warisan Sabah distanced itself from Pakatan Harapan, political analysts have warned that the East Malaysian party will need to team up with a national-level political party if it wishes to remain relevant to voters. The analysts also suggested that Warisan may benefit from a partnership with Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman’s Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (Muda), as the latter is currently facing roadblocks from registering with the Registrar of Societies. “The move would be important, what else can they do,” said Singapore Institute of International Affairs senior fellow Oh Ei Sun. “To remain politically relevant, Warisan would have to articulate how its self-proclaimed independent positions are superior to those of the major coalitions. It could indeed team up with other more or less independent parties such as Muda such that they could eventually evolve into a credible and viable third force to be reckoned with,” he said. - More - Pages (1036): « Previous 1 … 921 922 923 924 925 … 1036 Next » Jump to page:
