Economy and Investment - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Political tampering with the economy is interfering with Malaysia’s progress towards becoming a high-income nation, according to an economist. Benedict Weerasena of Bait Al-Amanah said the prevalence of such tampering and influence on governing institutions and the civil service was “eroding effective economic and financial decision-making”. Referring to a recent World Bank Group report that foresees the possibility of Malaysia achieving high-income status in the next five years, he said it was “slightly optimistic” but acknowledged that the target was within the realm of possibility if recovery from the pandemic was fast enough, economic growth remained solid and the ringgit stayed stable. He described political tampering and influence on institutions as being among the “biggest stumbling blocks” and added that reliance on migrant workers had weighed down efforts to promote higher value industries. - More -   Malaysia makes it to Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants’ Posted by: superadmin - 03-17-2021, 11:03 AM - Forum: Ipoh Famous Eateries - Replies (6) Malaysia makes it to Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants’ inaugural ‘Essence of Asia’ collection KUALA LUMPUR, March 16 — Four Malaysian eateries are featured in the first-ever “Essence of Asia” collection — an unranked listing by Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants.

The Chinese telecom company will charge an amount with a “per unit royalty cap” at $2.50 for smartphones capable of connections to 5G and previous generations of mobile networks. Huawei has 3,007 declared 5G patent families, the highest out of any company in the world. GUANGZHOU, China — Huawei will begin charging smartphone makers a royalty to use its patented 5G technology as the Chinese technology firm looks to open a new revenue stream, even as other parts of its business have taken a hit due to U.S. sanctions. The company said that it will charge “a reasonable percentage royalty rate of the handset selling price, and a per unit royalty cap” at $2.50 for smartphones capable of connections to 5G and previous generations of mobile networks. This price is lower than some of Huawei’s competitors including Finnish telecoms company Nokia. Charging royalties on key patents related to cellular technology could help Huawei make up at least part of the revenue hit in other parts of its business, such as smartphones, as a result of U.S. sanctions. In the past, Huawei has charged royalties to companies such as Apple. - More -   Geely is spending $4.6 billion on a battery plant as its electric car ambitions grow Posted by: superadmin - 03-16-2021, 06:31 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies New Delhi (CNN Business)Geely will pour nearly $5 billion into building an electric battery plant in China, as the country's top privately-owned carmaker moves more aggressively to bolster its electric vehicle ambitions in the world's largest market.

The four are Padang Serai MP M Karupaiya, Sungai Siput’s S Kesavan, Putatan’s Awang Husaini and Miri’s Michael Teo. Sekijang MP Natrah Ismail had earlier lodged a report with the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission that she had been offered to switch sides. Anwar said the four were offered money to switch sides, adding this was an abuse of power. “Even after luring three or four of our MPs, they still don’t have a majority and they won’t have 106 MPs,” he claimed during a press conference at Eastin Hotel, today. The government needs 112 MPs to have a simple majority in the Dewan Rakyat. - More -   MPs ask Putrajaya to drop appeal on High Court’s quashing of ‘Allah’ ban Posted by: superadmin - 03-16-2021, 06:23 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Sabahan, Sarawakian MPs ask Putrajaya to drop appeal on High Court’s quashing of ‘Allah’ ban, to end east Malaysians’ pain KUALA LUMPUR, March 16 — A total of 53 federal and state lawmakers from Sabah and Sarawak have come together in a bipartisan effort to ask the federal government to discontinue its appeal against the High Court’s quashing of a decades-old government ban on the word “Allah” in Christian publications. In a joint statement, the lawmakers also urged for a national reconciliation and for the government to let the High Court decision stand in order to see an end to the pain felt by the local Christian community — especially in Sabah and Sarawak — who mainly speak Bahasa Malaysia and their indigenous languages — languages which use the word “Allah” to refer to God. “We call upon Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to withdraw the Federal Government’s appeal against the High Court’s decision, so that the 35-year-old polemic and the pain felt by so many Sabahans, Sarawakians and Orang Asli may finally end. It would be a positive legacy for the prime minister. “We call upon all political parties to not exploit the High Court’s decision for narrow political mileage. Let this be a closure for all and a step forward in national reconciliation so that we meet Allah’s plan that makes us different for us to know and love each other,” the lawmakers said in the statement. - More - Pages (1044): « Previous 1 … 951 952 953 954 955 … 1044 Next » Jump to page:
