China's War on Poverty! Posted by: superadmin - 11-17-2021, 06:19 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies   Govt says ‘no’ to new laws on discrimination, hate speech Posted by: superadmin - 11-17-2021, 02:26 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysia does not have to create new laws to counter race-based prejudice and hate speech as current legislation on these issues is sufficient, said Deputy National Unity Minister Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad. He said this is because those who intentionally incite incidents that threaten national unity and harmony in the country can face action under a slew of acts. Wan Fayhsal said this includes the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 on the inappropriate use of facilities and network services, and other laws that touch on criminal intimidation, creating racial disunity and disrupting public order. Wan Fayhsal also pointed to the Sedition Act 1948, which can be used to prevent threats to national unity. “Therefore, this ministry is of the opinion that there is no need to create new legislation such as the racial harmony law or Race Relations Act as existing laws are in line with the Keluarga Malaysia concept, which upholds national integration, harmony, understanding and stability,” he said in Dewan Rakyat this morning. - More -   Previous Melaka BN govt spent millions of ringgit meant for fishermen: Adly Posted by: superadmin - 11-17-2021, 12:15 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies MELAKA – A total of RM33 million in fishermen’s funds were used up by the Barisan Nasional (BN) Melaka government prior to the 2018 general election, according to Adly Zahari, Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) chief ministerial choice in conjunction with the upcoming state polls. The Amanah man said this made it difficult for PH, which took over the state after the general election, to properly compensate fishermen for the Tg Bruas Port expansion project as promised during its time in power. Speaking at a press conference, Adly, who will be defending the Bukit Katil seat in the election on Saturday, explained that the special allocation had been included as part of the state government’s consolidated fund together with other tax revenues during that BN era. - More -   Umno, PAS could cooperate in GE, says Tok Mat Posted by: superadmin - 11-17-2021, 12:02 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies AYER KEROH: The Umno-PAS clashes in the coming Melaka polls do not mean that the two parties cannot work together for the next general election (GE15), according to Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan. In an interview with FMT, Mohamad, who is also the Barisan Nasional (BN) deputy chairman, disclosed that the party had tried to avoid clashing with its Muafakat Nasional (MN) ally. “We reached out to PAS to ask it to be with us,” Mohamad said. “We offered it seats although it did not win anything in Melaka in GE14.” In the Nov 20 state election, Umno and PAS will clash in seven contests. - More -   I was never aligned with you, Ginie Lim tells Azmin Posted by: superadmin - 11-17-2021, 11:52 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: PKR’s Ginie Lim has hit out at Bersatu Supreme Council member Azmin Ali for claiming that she had been dropped as a candidate in the Melaka polls for being aligned with him. In a Facebook post, Lim, who is the Alor Gajah PKR chief, said a reformist activist’s loyalty would lie with a party’s struggles and not as an individual. She said although Azmin used to be the deputy PKR president, it was sad that a person who had supposedly fought against corruption and for the different races for more than 20 years had given in to a party that “embodies racism and corruption”. She said PN was running out of issues and was diverting attention from the problems affecting the people. - More -   COMMENT | Ban of 4D was a classic three-act play by Sanusi Posted by: superadmin - 11-17-2021, 11:49 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies By James Chai COMMENT | Kedah MB Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor has a way of overexplaining himself. In a strange way, the decision to not renew gaming outlet licences – effectively banning them – became more than just that. There are three categories of Sanusi’s justifications: 1. Uneasy relationship with the minorities: “I am a Muslim who is prohibited from gambling. In the afterlife I will be asked, ‘What have you done about gambling?’ If I said I didn’t do anything, I will be whacked. While I have power, it’s better I use them.” 2. Trivialising the negative impact: “Many other companies affected by Covid-19 pandemic have ventured into new businesses at their premises, with a furniture shop being turned into an eatery, a barbershop turned into a beauty salon… there are many things [gaming outlets] can do [other than gaming].” Sanusi told gaming outlet operators to be creative to explore new business opportunities. - More -   Sanusi’s remarks linking Penang to 4D outlets may have irked Agong Posted by: superadmin - 11-16-2021, 05:47 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies GEORGE TOWN – A veteran politician has echoed Penang Mufti Datuk Seri Wan Salim Wan Mohd Noor’s criticism of Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor’s remarks linking Penang to 4D outlets. Wan Salim had yesterday slammed Sanusi for bringing down Muslims in Penang by linking the state to gambling and immorality. “Sanusi needs to be careful when he speaks in public, especially on matters related to Penang,” stressed Wan Salim. Tan Sri Mohd Yussof Latiff, who heads the oldest Malay organisation in the country – the Penang Malay Association (Pemenang) said that Sanusi has hurt the feelings of Muslims in the state by telling those who want to patronise 4D lottery outlets to go to Penang. “At the same time, he may have irked the Yang di-Pertuan Agong over his remarks that portrays Penang as a state that freely allows gambling because His Majesty is in charge of Islamic affairs in states that do not have Malay rulers,” Yussof told The Vibes. - More -   'Healthy debate,' but no breakthroughs in Biden's critical talks with China's Xi Posted by: superadmin - 11-16-2021, 03:34 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Washington (CNN)When Chinese President Xi Jinping beamed into the White House on Monday evening for a virtual summit with President Joe Biden, the two men needed no introduction. "We've spent an awful lot of time talking to one another, and I hope we can have a candid conversation tonight as well," Biden said as the talks got underway, sitting at the head of the Roosevelt Room table as Xi's visage was broadcast on a pair of television screens. From his seat in a cavernous room inside the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, Xi was just as friendly. "Although it's not as good as a face-to-face meeting," Xi said as the summit got underway, "I'm very happy to see my old friend." It was an auspicious start to some of the most critical talks of Biden's presidency, given the deteriorating ties between Washington and Beijing and the reality, acknowledged by administration officials, that managing the US relationship with China will amount to Biden's most critical international objective. The affable greetings eventually turned more serious as Biden raised concerns about human rights, Chinese aggression toward Taiwan and trade issues. Throughout, the leaders engaged in a "healthy debate," according to a senior administration official present for the discussions. Officials said the three-and-a-half hour summit, which stretched longer than planned, allowed the two men ample opportunity to diverge from their prepared talking points. The tone remained "respectful and straightforward," the officials said. - More -   Malaysia gets low D rating for corruption in defence sector Posted by: superadmin - 11-16-2021, 02:50 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Malaysia has scored low in an international index related to corruption in the defence sector. Malaysia scored 45% and received a D rating in the Government Defence Integrity Index (GDI) for 2020, released by Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M). The D rating indicates weak institutional resilience to graft. The GDI assesses a country’s defence sector and how well those responsible are able to manage the risk of corruption across multiple areas of defence, TI-M said in a statement. The areas of defence include policymaking and political affairs, finances, personnel management, military operations and procurement. New Zealand scored the highest at 85% and Sudan scored the lowest at 5% in the GDI. TI-M said the defence sector had long been held as the “opaquest” area of government activity, with its budget transparency being restricted. The sector only provides a general outline of how it manages public money. - More -   Why China is still trying to achieve zero Covid Posted by: superadmin - 11-15-2021, 08:39 PM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies Around the world people are getting used to post-lockdown life with vaccines doing the heavy lifting against Covid-19 as restrictions are eased. In China however, a hard elimination policy remains where the pandemic first began. A person walks into a five-star hotel to ask briefly for directions and ends up in two weeks quarantine because a guest had some coronavirus contact. One crew member on a high-speed train has close contact with an infected person, and a trainload of passengers is sent to quarantine for mass testing. In Shanghai Disneyland, 33,863 visitors suddenly have to undergo mass testing because a visitor the day before got infected. Welcome to life in the country which now feels like a perpetual, back-to-zero-Covid world. China was the first country to impose restrictions to combat this pandemic and it will be one of the last to ease them. When you speak to ordinary Chinese people in the street, you will find that many do not seem to mind the continued strict anti-virus measures as long as they are kept safe. I asked one woman whether China should open faster and she said it would be best to wait until the pandemic is sorted out properly because safety is number one. - More - Pages (1331): « Previous 1 … 986 987 988 989 990 … 1331 Next » Jump to page:
