PH leaders must show solidarity for battle in Melaka Posted by: superadmin - 11-07-2021, 11:03 AM - Forum: Politics - Replies (1) From Zaid Ibrahim The best thing that has happened to us since the Sheraton Move is the state election in Melaka. Some tried to go to court to stop it, others questioned why the governor decided to call for the dissolution of the state assembly. Quite a sizeable group has played the high moral ground by bashing the group of four for bringing the state government down. Incredulous still are the persistent attacks on Anwar Ibrahim by his friends in PH for welcoming the gang of four led by Idris Haron, the former chief minister. Idris was with me in Parliament many years ago, and he frequently questioned (in a nice way) my so-called liberal views, telling his audience that Zaid was a different kind of Malay (whatever he meant). But I see him as a serious politician who can move things, someone not to be dismissed summarily. - More -   Muda should have had a go in Melaka, say analysts Posted by: superadmin - 11-07-2021, 09:33 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Muda’s decision not to contest the Melaka polls marks a lost opportunity for the fledgling political party, as the it could have tested its appeal with voters and split votes in some contests. The party, which has yet to be registered, could have fielded independent candidates and might even have beaten some rivals, an analyst said. Muda founder and pro tem president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman could have taken the risk to field candidates just to test the field, said Ahmad Fauzi Abdul Hamid, a political science professor at Universiti Sains Malaysia. - More -   Umno-PAS tussle in Melaka a ‘one-off’, says Tuan Ibrahim Posted by: superadmin - 11-07-2021, 09:30 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA TERENGGANU: Umno and PAS’s current friendly fight situation in the Melaka state election was today described as a “one-off” and in no way an indicator of what is to come in the parliamentary general election expected next year. PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said the party had taken its time to engage with Umno to convince them that straight fights were the way to go. “We took a long time to talk to Umno, and our engagements with them have been positive. But in the end, they want to contest all seats. We’re disappointed that our attempt at unity ahead of the Melaka polls did not go our way. - More -   PH to field ex-CM Idris and Nor Azman in Melaka Posted by: superadmin - 11-06-2021, 07:23 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan (PH) will field two of the four assemblymen whose defections triggered the collapse of the Melaka state government. At a press conference today, PH chairman Anwar Ibrahim announced the coalition would contest all 28 state seats up for grabs in the Nov 20 election and revealed its list of candidates. The candidates include former Umno duo, Idris Haron and Nor Azman Hassan. Machap Jaya incumbent Ginie Lim, said to be linked to former PKR deputy president Azmin Ali, has been dropped. Anwar, the PKR president, was joined at the press conference by his Amanah counterpart, Mohamad Sabu. No top DAP leader could be seen there. - More -   Total ban on Melaka campaigning unlawful, unnecessary with right SOPs, lawyer argues Posted by: superadmin - 11-06-2021, 02:49 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 6 — The Health Ministry’s blanket ban on events related to the Melaka state election was against the law and the government should have instead allowed any activities where physical distancing is possible, a lawyer has insisted. Lawyer New Sin Yew, who is also co-chair of the Bar Council’s Human Rights Committee, argued that the total ban on any election gatherings during the campaign period would be contrary to the legal rights given to Malaysians under the Federal Constitution and the Election Offences Act. New noted that the Melaka state election on November 20 is the first since the Sabah state election last year, which he said triggered waves of Covid-19 infections nationwide, with the Melaka election campaign period to be from November 8 until November 19. Ahead of the Melaka state election, the Health Ministry (MoH) on October 24 announced that “any activity, gathering or social events related to the election is not allowed, including the organising of election machinery launches” from October 25 to November 27, with the aim of reducing the spread of Covid-19 infections and to avoid drastic rise in cases. The extended prohibition period covers both before, during and after the campaign for the Melaka state polls. - More -   Malays aren’t poor, they just elect poor quality leaders, says Zaid Posted by: superadmin - 11-06-2021, 02:43 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: A former minister says Malays as a whole are no longer poverty-stricken though the community is “poor” in the sense it lacks good leaders and institutions. In a Facebook post, former de facto law minister Zaid Ibrahim questioned the expectations of those calling for new Bumiputera affirmative action policies. “What sort of special upliftment do they expect the Malays to get year in year out? A race-based budget is just not done anywhere else in the world – and yet the Malays are still poor? “The truth is Malays are not poor anymore. There are some who are but there are other poor people in the country too. Why not talk about them?” Zaid said many Malays were doing very well and this could be seen from the multitudes of billboards promoting products of Malay-owned businesses and direct-selling companies, by the large number of Malays who play golf at country clubs, and by the ability of many Malays to buy branded items at premium outlets. But, he said, the community had poor quality leaders who made bad decisions for selfish reasons. - More -   Our supporters will vote PN in Melaka, says Hadi Posted by: superadmin - 11-06-2021, 02:00 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA TERENGGANU: PAS today declared it would stand by its Perikatan Nasional (PN) allies Bersatu and Gerakan, and urged all its supporters in Melaka to vote for PN in the upcoming state polls. PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang said this after he was asked about Barisan Nasional’s (BN) decision to field candidates in all 28 state seats. “That question is an assumption (that BN will field candidates in all 28 seats). We will see who will be named during nomination day. “But our stand is firm. PN will contest and it is up to Umno if it wants to cooperate with PN or go its own way. - More -   This 30-year-old visited every country in the world. Here’s how he paid for it Posted by: superadmin - 11-06-2021, 01:55 PM - Forum: Travels - No Replies It took 1,458 flights and 1,117 buses and trains for Drew Binsky to reach his goal of traveling to every country in the world. And he did it in less than a decade. CNBC spoke with Binsky nine hours after he touched down in his last country — Saudi Arabia — about how he financed his 10-year travel spree. Visiting every country in the world According to your tally, you’ve been to 197 countries. How do you define “country?” You’re hitting me with a hard one right away. It’s very political. The U.N. has 193 recognized sovereign states. I add four to that — Kosovo, Palestine, Taiwan and Vatican. Some of these are observer states of the U.N., and they are also the four most recognized of all the unrecognized “countries.” I think I’m like the 250th person to visit every country. Is there a name for this group? The “every country” club. It’s a small community, and I’m friends with maybe 20 of them. There’s a lot of drama. It’s like: “You actually haven’t been to North Korea because you only went to the border of South Korea.” I don’t get involved in all that. - More -   US lawmakers approve $1tn in infrastructure spending Posted by: superadmin - 11-06-2021, 12:06 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies The US Congress has passed a landmark $1tn (£741bn) infrastructure spending package, delivering a major domestic win to President Joe Biden. Negotiations over the sweeping public works bill - which passed the House of Representatives with 228-206 vote - created a bitter split among Democrats. Meanwhile the House is moving forward with a more ambitious social spending bill favoured by liberal lawmakers. The infrastructure package now heads to Mr Biden's desk to be signed into law. Billed as a "once-in-a-generation" spending measure, the infrastructure legislation proposes $550bn in direct federal expenditure to upgrade highways, roads and bridges, as well as to modernise city transit systems and passenger rail networks. The agreement also sets aside funding for clean energy, clean drinking water and high speed internet. - More -   Melaka polls: controversies and implications – Khalid Samad Posted by: superadmin - 11-06-2021, 11:49 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies THE Melaka election that was forced upon us has had its fair share of controversies. First it was Pejuang that decided, as a matter of principle, to not participate in the elections. Then it was about the logo that was to be used – either PKR or Pakatan Harapan (PH). When that was resolved, the issue of the candidacy of two ex-Umno assemblymen who renounced their support for the Umno chief minister became another issue of dispute. DAP objected strongly to them being fielded as independents under the PH logo. When Amanah and PKR agreed to allow them to use the PH logo, DAP made its objection public. DAP’s argument was then further enforced by various individuals who also denounced the decision, citing it as a deviation from PH principles. - More - Pages (1314): « Previous 1 … 979 980 981 982 983 … 1314 Next » Jump to page:
