China’s installed capacity of renewable energy reaches one billion kilowatts: NEA Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2021, 07:23 PM - Forum: Environment Protection News - No Replies The first Sino-foreign joint venture offshore wind power project in China started to generate electricity in east China's Jiangsu Province on Saturday. The joint venture constructed and operated by CNH Energy and French multinational utility company EDF has realized full capacity power generation with a total installed capacity of 500,000 kilowatts. After being put into operation, the annual power generation is expected to reach 1.39 billion kilowatt hours, which can meet the annual power demand of 2 million residents, equivalent to cutting the emissions of 441,900 tons of standard coal, 937,500 tons of carbon dioxide and 1,704 tons of sulfur dioxide. As of the end October, China's accumulative installed capacity for renewable energy reached one billion kilowatts, doubling that in the end of 2015, according to the National Energy Administration.  The share of renewable energy now accounts for 43.5 percent of the total installed capacity of power generation in China, up 10.2 percentage points over the end of 2015. Among renewable power sources, the installed capacity of hydropower, wind power, solar power and biomass power generation have reached 385 million kilowatts, 299 million kilowatts, 282 million kilowatts and 35.34 million kilowatts respectively, ranking first in the world. Global Times    DAP could’ve won 8 seats in Melaka with higher voter turnout: Guan Eng Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2021, 07:11 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies SANDAKAN – Albeit losing four out of the eight seats contested in Melaka, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said the party could have won them all if there was at least a 10% higher voter turnout in the state during polling day yesterday.   Lim said Pakatan Harapan (PH) got 35% – and Barisan Nasional (BN), 38% – of the popular vote, but this was not reflected in the election results as BN won 75% of the seats, leaving PH with less than 20%.  “This showed the impact of the low voter turnout this time, which has dropped by 20% (compared to the 2018 general election). If the voter turnout was 15%-20% higher, PH would have won more seats. If it was just 10% higher, DAP would have won all eight seats,” he said at a press conference here today.  Lim said besides the low voter turnout, the standard operating procedures (SOPs) that provide for several restrictions during the campaigning period was another reason for the party’s defeat.  - More -   Anwar needs to bow out eventually, says analyst Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2021, 07:05 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: A political analyst has proposed various ways for Pakatan Harapan (PH) to make a comeback following its poor showing in the Melaka polls yesterday. For a start, Wong Chin Huat suggested that PKR president Anwar Ibrahim step down and merge his party with Amanah. He said Anwar’s leadership had been called into question again after PKR’s wipeout in the polls, losing all 11 seats it contested. He said the most realistic solution might be a two-step transition, with Anwar bowing out as part of the second step. “The first step is to form a shadow Cabinet that can offer a collective leadership for PH’s 89 MPs.” It could draw up an effective policy to compete with Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN). - More -   PH doomed if it doesn’t listen to grassroots, says analyst Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2021, 05:50 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan (PH) will lose in the 15th general election if it does not listen to the voice of its grassroots, according to a political analyst. Awang Azman Pawi of Universiti Malaya said the grassroots had objected to PH accepting candidates who had jumped parties, but the coalition’s leaders had not heeded them. “In turn, this affected the sentiments of PH’s grassroots towards the coalition,” he told FMT. Awang was referring to the former Umno duo of Idris Haron, who contested under the PH banner in Sungai Udang, and Nor Azman Hassan in Pantai Kundor. - More -   PH pact with GRS could further Sabah’s development: Guan Eng Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2021, 05:28 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies SANDAKAN – Although it remains to be seen whether ruling coalition Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) cements a bipartisan pact with Pakatan Harapan (PH), DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said a collaboration could result in more development in the state. He said Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Md Noor recently invited him for a discussion over the possibility of collaboration between GRS and PH – similar to the federal memorandum of understanding (MoU) between PH and the ruling Barisan Nasional-Perikatan Nasional government.  “If we (PH) can discuss with the federal government to amend the status of Sabah and Sarawak in the Federal Constitution in accordance with the Malaysia Agreement 1963, why can’t we discuss with the Sabah government about advancing the state?   “If we can help to push the agenda forward, I think we should be open to discussion,” he said at a press conference after the Sabah DAP ordinary convention in Hakka Hall here, today.  Lim said his meeting with Hajiji did not conclude with a finalised result, adding that the ball is now in GRS’ court on whether it wants to proceed with such a collaboration.  “We leave it to Sabah parties to finalise the discussion. It depends on the Sabah government if it wants to ensure not only stability, but the people taken care of even if they voted for the opposition. We want to see whether that will happen.” Lim explained that the perks of collaboration include advancing Sabah’s native customary rights and defending the freedom of religion.  “Those are the areas we can cooperate with, why not do it? It is in the spirit of harmony in Sabah.  “We still have our differences, but we can ‘fight’ it out in the election.” Last month, Sabah’s PH council proposed a bipartisan collaboration with GRS to focus on the implementation of development strategies in the state. GRS comprises elected representatives from BN, PN and Parti Bersatu Sabah. – The Vibes, November 21, 2021   ADUN SPEAKS | Daughter's narrative won't exonerate Mahathir's leadership Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2021, 01:12 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies ADUN SPEAKS | I never really thought that the former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohammed’s daughter Marina Mahathir would write a book about him. I really don’t know what the objective is for the book that may soon be officially launched. However, the excerpts suggest that the narrative seem to exonerate Mahathir as a family man and a leader with vision but who was betrayed. I can understand Marina’s love for her father, Mahathir, and her family. Since her father is no more in power, maybe she decided to put a family touch on the difficulties that Mahathir underwent as the prime minister, the stress he had to put up with and the toll on his heart that eventuated in a surgery. Mahathir comes off as a loving father, a strict disciplinarian and a person who would brook no nonsense. - More -   Fielding 2 ‘frogs’ backfired on Pakatan: analyst Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2021, 01:03 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) gamble to field two “political frogs” for the Melaka election in Asahan and Pantai Kundor ended badly, indicating the coalition should move cautiously in the future. Political analyst Prof Mohd Azizuddin Mohd Sani told Getaran that it is obvious that voters rejected candidates who are seen as “betrayers”. PH fielded former Umno man Datuk Seri Idris Haron in Asahan under PKR’s seat allocation, while Datuk Nor Azman Hassan defended Pantai Kundor seat under Amanah. - More -   Melaka election: a variety of reasons for success and failures – Terence Fernandez Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2021, 12:58 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies IS THE Melaka election result an accurate barometer of what is to come for the players in the 15th General Election (GE15)? Is Pakatan Harapan (PH) a spent force – having captured the state in 2018 with 15 seats but only managed five this time around? Are the people of Melaka voting along racial lines as Malay-based party Umno dominated this time around taking 18 seats, while its Barisan Nasional (BN) partners, MCA and MIC, took two seats and one seat respectively? Is DAP, which has been a formidable party in Melaka, losing its influence having managed to win only four of the eight seats it contested – all eight being incumbent constituencies? What does it mean for the future of Perikatan Nasional (PN), which managed to hang on by the skin of its teeth – winning just two of the 28 seats it contested? Why is PAS rejected by Melakans? When would conservative voters be drawn to the Islamist party’s agenda? Is it time for PKR to rethink its strategy having been wiped out from all the seats it contested as PH? Is the election result an indication of a split in the Malay votes? As Malay voters split their loyalties between Umno and Bersatu? These are certainly food for thought as victor and vanquished take stock of last night’s results – one in celebration, the other licking its wounds. A low voter turnout is always in BN’s favour as hardened grassroots and loyalists reliably go out come hell or high water to cast their ballots. Despite the pandemic, a 65.85% turnout exceeded earlier estimates of 55%. - More -   Why the tide may be turning on Trump Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2021, 10:57 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies (CNN)What's that we hear? Is it the sound of prominent conservatives and Trump allies openly rebuking former President Donald Trump? Are these the early murmurs of a conservative backlash against Trump? And is it possible a political lane is opening for another Republican presidential candidate in 2024? It's too soon to know, of course, and there's plenty of evidence that those who stand up against the vindictive Trump will end up crushed by either his bullying ways or by his loyal followers, with little support from the rest of the GOP. And yet, it is noteworthy that in the past few days we have heard from two major figures in the conservative camp telling Trump that he should stop whining about the election he lost and let the Republican Party focus on real issues, instead of his self-serving fantasies. The statements from Rupert Murdoch -- who controls a media empire that includes, among other properties, the shamelessly pro-Trump Fox News -- and from former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie -- an adviser who worked with the former president and helped him prepare for the presidential debates during the 2020 election -- may serve as a test for Republicans who understand just how harmful Trump's dominance of the GOP is, and how it could ultimately sink the party. It was startling when Murdoch, addressing his company at the annual shareholder meeting on Wednesday, said that the United States faces a number of major political decisions that conservatives will fail to shape unless Trump moves on. "The current American political debate is profound," he said, citing education, welfare and economic opportunity. "It is crucial that conservatives play an active, forceful role in that debate," he added, "but that will not happen if President Trump stays focused on the past." Murdoch is not alone in arguing that Trump is a threat to conservatives. Christie, who has just published a new book that looks very much like his unofficial entry into the 2024 presidential race, is making the same case, only more forcefully. - More -   An embarrassment, but ‘not the end’ for Muhyiddin Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2021, 10:39 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Perikatan Nasional’s paltry performance in the Melaka state election, winning only 2 of 28 seats contested, is a huge embarrassment for coalition leader Muhyiddin Yassin, says political analyst Oh Ei Sun. Oh said the Melaka election was Muhyiddin’s “Waterloo moment”. However, it was still possible for him to recover from the worst of defeats. Muhyiddin will need to soldier on, as Barisan Nasional (BN) will be “back with a vengeance” now that they have scored a huge victory, he added. The coalition won 21 of 28 seats, Umno winning 18, MCA 2 and MIC 1. Political scientist Ahmad Fauzi Abdul Hamid of Universiti Sains Malaysia said Muhyiddin could salvage his political career if he managed to sway some form of cooperation with BN in the new state government as the two coalitions are partners in the federal government. - More - Pages (1335): « Previous 1 … 986 987 988 989 990 … 1335 Next » Jump to page:
