Bar passes motion calling on elected reps to resign if they switch sides Posted by: superadmin - 09-25-2021, 07:24 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Bar has passed a motion calling for MPs and assemblymen to step down after switching to other political parties. Bar president AG Kalidas said lawyers voted in favour of the motion during their extraordinary general meeting (EGM) today. “We also call on the government to enact laws that give people the right to remove the assemblymen or MP due to loss of confidence in them,” he said. Kalidas said the EGM also approved two other motions to increase the composition of Bar Council members from 12 to 16 as well as calling on the country to recognise and respect children’s rights. “Children should not be discriminated against just because he or she was not conceived or born from a legally registered marriage,” he said. - More -   The key to Bhutan's happiness Posted by: superadmin - 09-25-2021, 07:19 PM - Forum: Self-Development - No Replies As the Kingdom of Bhutan opens its borders, a Buddhist monk shares his secrets for understanding the nation's unique approach to happiness.

The strike on Friday, the first worldwide climate action since the coronavirus pandemic hit, is taking place weeks before the Cop26 climate summit in Glasgow, UK. In Germany, two days before the country’s general election, Greta Thunberg told a crowd of more than 100,000 people that “no political party” was doing enough. The Swedish activist, whose solo strike in 2018 inspired the global Fridays for Future movement, told cheering supporters they needed to keep up the pressure on Germany’s political leaders past election day. - More -   Family Frontiers: Putrajaya’s appeal of citizenship ruling ‘baffling’ Posted by: superadmin - 09-25-2021, 04:30 PM - Forum: Stop Gender Inequality - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 25 — Welfare association Family Frontiers has challenged the government’s reason for continuing its appeal against the High Court decision granting automatic citizenship to children born abroad to Malaysian mothers with foreign spouses. In a statement today, Family Frontiers said it was deeply disappointed by the government's move, which was announced by Home Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin yesterday, and called it “baffling”. “The government continues to take a stance that its women citizens are second-class citizens; by continuing to appeal, the government sends a message that it is in favour of continued discrimination and marginalisation of Malaysian mothers and their non-citizen children,” it said. Yesterday, Hamzah said that in making its decision, the Cabinet had considered the existence of two different court case judgments regarding the interpretation of the term “father” in the Second Schedule Part II Section 1(b) and 1© of the Federal Constitution. - More -   Government urged to engage all stakeholders over logistics Bumiputera equity issuey Posted by: superadmin - 09-25-2021, 04:21 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Lawmaker urges government to engage all stakeholders over logistics Bumiputera equity issue KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 25 — Bangi MP Ong Kian Ming called today for objective discussions on the Finance Ministry’s proposal to require local logistics operators to have 51 per cent Bumiputra ownership. He said the ministry’s decision to postpone the requirement was not a long-term solution. Instead, Ong said relevant stakeholders including the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, the Ministry of Transport, Malaysia Investment Development Authority (MIDA), port operators, logistics operators, business chambers, financial institutions and politicians must discuss the matter exhaustively. “I am sure that my colleagues and myself who have experienced in MITI, MOF and MOT would be willing to participate in an honest and open dialogue, in the spirit of the MOU that was recently signed by PH and the Keluarga Malaysia government, so that we can have a mature discussion and avoid politicking via newspaper headlines,” he said in a statement today. -- More -   Meng Wanzhou: The PowerPoint that sparked an international row Posted by: superadmin - 09-25-2021, 04:13 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies When Meng Wanzhou's flight landed in Vancouver on 1 December 2018, she was expecting to make only a brief stopover. But after almost a three-year prolonged stay, the chief financial officer of Huawei and daughter of the telecoms giant's founder is now a free woman. On Friday, prosecutors announced that a request to extradite her to the US had been dropped. During the three years of intense legal battles, Canada was caught in the escalating tension between Washington and Beijing. At the centre of the story is a sixteen-page corporate PowerPoint presentation. Vancouver stopover and an arrest When her plane from Hong Kong landed, Meng Wanzhou planned to go to a house she owned in the Canadian city to collect some luggage before catching another flight to Mexico for a corporate meeting. - More -   China- and Hong Kong-based bitcoin holders scrambling to protect their crypto assets Posted by: superadmin - 09-25-2021, 02:50 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies Some crypto holders in China and Hong Kong are scrambling to find a way to safeguard their digital currencies, according to an attorney who works with overseas clients to protect their crypto wealth. This comes after the People’s Bank of China said in a Q&A posted to its website that all cryptocurrency-related transactions in China are illegal, including services provided by offshore exchanges. Some crypto holders in China and Hong Kong are scrambling to find a way to safeguard their bitcoin and other tokens after China’s central bank published a new document Friday spelling out tougher measures in its wider crypto crackdown, including souped-up systems to monitor crypto-related transactions. Bitcoin was down as much as 6% and ether sunk as much as 10%, amid a wider sell-off early Friday, as investors digested the news. “Since the announcement less than two hours ago, I have already received over a dozen messages – email, phone and encrypted app – from Chinese crypto holders looking for solutions on how to access and protect their crypto holdings in foreign exchanges and cold wallets,” David Lesperance, a Toronto-based attorney who specializes in relocating wealthy crypto holders to other countries to save on taxes, told CNBC early Friday. Lesperance said the move is an attempt to freeze crypto assets so that holders can’t legally do anything with them. “Along with not being able to do anything with an extremely volatile asset, my suspicion is that like with Roosevelt and gold, the Chinese government will ‘offer’ them in the future to convert it to e-yuan at a fixed market price,” he said of President Franklin Roosevelt’s policy around the private ownership of gold, which was later repealed. “I have been predicting this for a while as part of the Chinese government’s moves to close out all potential competition to the incoming digital yuan,” said Lesperance. - More -   Tok Mat uncertain if Umno polls will be held before GE15 Posted by: superadmin - 09-25-2021, 02:11 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The next general election (GE15) will not be a factor when deciding to call for Umno elections, says party deputy president Mohamad Hasan. He also said it was not possible to say if it will be held before or after GE15 at this point, adding that there had been no calls from party members to expedite the holding of the elections. “The party has given the mandate to the Supreme Council to decide on the dates for the Umno general assembly and elections. “As for the likely dates, it will depend on the situation. We are not able to say if it will be held before or after GE15,” he told Utusan Malaysia. Mohamad, also known as Tok Mat, said the party had asked for opinions from the relevant government agencies on whether to hold the party elections or not. - More -   This country claims it hasn't had a single Covid-19 case. Activists say that's a lie Posted by: superadmin - 09-25-2021, 10:49 AM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies (CNN)In the nearly two years since the pandemic began, Turkmenistan has not seen a single case of Covid-19. Or at least, that's what the central Asian country's secretive, authoritarian government claims. Turkmenistan, a former Soviet republic home to nearly 6 million people, is one of at least five countries that have not reported any coronavirus cases, according to a review of data collected by Johns Hopkins University and the World Health Organization. Three of those are isolated islands in the Pacific and the fourth is North Korea, a tightly-controlled hermit state. Turkmenistan's repressive President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov, who has ruled since 2006, has dismissed reports of Covid-19 in the country as "fake" and told the United Nations in an address Tuesday that the response to the pandemic shouldn't be "politicized." But independent organizations and journalists and activists outside Turkmenistan say there's evidence the country is battling a third wave which is overwhelming hospitals and killing dozens of people -- and warn the President is playing down the threat of the deadly virus in a bid to maintain his public image. - More - Pages (1279): « Previous 1 … 985 986 987 988 989 … 1279 Next » Jump to page:
