PARLIAMENT | Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz has confirmed that the cabinet discussed the request from former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak for a piece of land and house worth RM100 million.
This came after Dr Mahathir Mohamad (Pejuang-Langkawi) questioned why Najib’s request for an RM100-million piece of land and house was not included in Budget 2022.
“The finance minister should explain every item in the budget but now I find that there is an item that is not mentioned in the budget.
“This is about the gift for the former prime minister Najib (above), who will be given a piece of land and house worth RM100 million because of his supposed contributions to the country.

MELAKA – Perikatan Nasional (PN) candidates in the state election are apparently riding on Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s prominence and popularity in trying to capture the support of voters, with just two days left before voting.
In explaining the coalition’s decision to place Muhyiddin as its “poster boy” for the election, several candidates told The Vibes this is because the former prime minister (PM) is deemed to be widely regarded and accepted by the locals.
They said this gives them a fighting chance against Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH), which are two of the more likelier coalitions to form the state government here.
“He is our booster. We know since he became the PM (in March last year), Abah has brought an extraordinary landscape and phenomenon to the people,” said Bersatu’s Ayer Molek candidate Mohd Fadly Samin.

| COMMENT | Deeply disgusted by dictator's daughter's drivel |

COMMENT | All week long I’ve been trying to keep cool as excerpts from Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s daughter’s book have been printed on this site.
But I could no longer hold my peace when reading the latest tripe in the form of – “Sheraton Move: The day Dr M resigned himself to betrayals”.
That appears to me to be another attempt by the Mahathir camp to rewrite history as if he was not at the heart of the machinations that brought down his own Pakatan Harapan federal government.
Maybe that’s why some people are still confused – because having been under one-party rule for so long, we are not a country that understands the finer points of political manoeuvres.

MALACCA POLLS | Mohd Khalil Yaakob, who served as Malacca's governor from 2004 to 2020, has hit the campaign trail in the state for Pakatan Harapan.
Prior to becoming the Malacca governor, the 83-year-old Mohd Khalil had served as an assemblyperson and MP for various seats in Pahang and also became the Pahang menteri besar from 1986 to 1999 under Umno.
Khalil had been spotted on the campaign trail assisting Amanah candidates since Monday but is now also making rounds with candidates from other Harapan component parties.
He has generally been reserved in his campaigning, often stressing that he only just retired as the governor and must maintain some degree of neutrality.

China-Africa trade reached $185.2 billion between January and September of this year, up 38.2 percent year on year, establishing a new record for the period, Chinese Vice Commerce Minister Qian Keming said on Wednesday.
China has become Africa's largest trading partner over the last 12 consecutive years, and its exports of machinery and daily necessities have well met the production and living needs of the African people.
Africa is also an important source of mineral resources for China, which plays a very important role in maintaining the stability of the country's industrial chain.
In the first nine months, China's foreign direct investment in Africa went up 9.9 percent compared with a year ago to $2.59 billion, according to the vice minister. The growth rate was 3 percentage points higher than the country's overall foreign investment and exceeded the level of the same period in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic.

SYDNEY – Australia today announced measures to ring-fence dozens of sensitive technologies from foreign interference, stepping up efforts to safeguard against “national security risks” from China and others.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison unveiled a list of 63 “critical technologies” to be promoted and protected at an online forum in Sydney – a step towards limiting what the government, industry and universities can and cannot share with foreign counterparts.
The list includes 5G communications, quantum technologies – which are based on the physics of sub-atomic particles – artificial intelligence, advanced magnets, 3D printing, drones and vaccines.
The measures aim to “balance the economic opportunities of critical technologies with their national security risks”, Morrison told a forum hosted by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute.

KUALA LUMPUR: Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Muhyiddin Yassin said today that any form of cooperation between his coalition and other parties will only be decided after the Melaka state election.
He said he was “non-committal” on the issue as of now.
“I did not say we were prepared to cooperate or not to cooperate. My answer should not be twisted by the media to say I am ready, I did not say so, I am non-committal,” Muhyiddin, who is also the chairman of the National Recovery Council, told reporters after a meeting with the British Malaysia Chamber of Commerce here today.
“I want to see the results of the election and after that, we will set our strategies to make our next move.”
