| No bad blood: dropped as candidate, Ginie Lim still solid in campaigning for PKR |

MELAKA – Despite being dropped as a candidate for the Machap Jaya constituency, it appears to the public that there is no bad blood between incumbent Datuk Ginie Lim and the top echelons of PKR.
Although speculation is rife that the Alor Gajah PKR chief is being sidelined by the central leadership, Lim has been working the ground in constituencies particularly under the parliamentary seat.
During a Deepavali event in Asahan yesterday, Lim was seen campaigning at the constituency alongside party president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and vice-president Chua Tian Chang, better known as Tian Chua.
She arrived at the venue abreast with party leaders to lend support to ex-Umno leader Datuk Seri Idris Haron, who is now contesting under the Pakatan Harapan (PH) banner in the highly sought-after Asahan seat.

It is not just the ministers and members of the Malay elite who insult our intelligence. Leaders of the various “persatuans” (associations), who are supposed to champion the rakyat’s interests, have also failed us.
Current and former leaders and professionals who are members of various organisations representing their trade, like the civil service, academia, social welfare groups, businessmen, lawyers, doctors, teachers, engineers and policemen, are all complicit in Malaysia’s mess.
These associations will invite ministers to their annual publicity events, take group photographs and engage in friendly banter. Some of their leaders will end up receiving awards and titles, but when there are issues involving the people, they keep silent. Why?
They are afraid to upset the government and risk their chances of being nominated for further awards, like a Datukship. This is how mercenary-like many leaders in the various professions have become.
These individuals can make a difference but they put power and position (even in retirement) before the well-being of the people they represent.

PETALING JAYA: A PAS central committee member has claimed that Pakatan Harapan (PH) promotes communist ideology and thus the voters should not give it the mandate in the Melaka state election.
Kamaruzaman Mohamad said they should reject the opposition coalition based on its past records such as the push to ratify the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) and “promoting” communism.

AYER KEROH: PKR is confident of winning all its 11 seats in the Melaka state election, including in Lendu, where Barisan Nasional’s chief minister-designate, Sulaiman Md Ali, is contesting.
Melaka PKR chief Halim Bachik said people on the ground “seem to be accepting Pakatan Harapan” as Perikatan Nasional and Barisan Nasional were grappling for power in the state despite being in the same federal government.
“It is not impossible for us to win all our seats. We will focus on the people in our election campaign,” he told a press conference here today.
PKR’s allies Amanah will contest nine seats and DAP eight in the 28 seats up for grabs on Saturday.
Halim said PH had been going to the ground in Lendu since the state government was toppled in March 2020.

Diabetes and heart failure: Understanding their relationship for better health outcomes
DIABETES and heart disease often go hand in hand.
The former affects over 3.9 million Malaysian adults based on the National Health and Morbidity Survey 2019, specifically 2.8 million adults (above the age of 30) with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Research has shown that patients with T2D are two to four times more likely to develop heart failure compared to someone without diabetes. Raised blood glucose levels contribute 10-11% to risk of heart failure.
While diabetes can cause a myriad of complications, heart disease is one that is often overlooked. Approximately 6.7% of Malaysians live with heart failure and it is an major cause of hospitalisation in Malaysia.
So what do all these staggering numbers mean in simple terms? Better awareness on gaining appropriate information and support, of course.
That said, before we get to how patients can make better decisions and learn the skills to properly manage their condition, it’s best to lay down the necessary information for those who are not yet at risk to emphasise the importance of the present discussions.

China's civil aviation regulator is offering a slight of hope for the Boeing 737 MAX's chances of being back in the skies after being grounded for over 32 months, as latest filing shows that the manufacturer is working to meet the technical requirements mandated by Chinese regulators.
An announcement seen by the Global Times said that in order to address unsafe conditions relating to the 737-8 aircraft Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System within the 737 MAX family, Boeing has initiated design changes to the flight control system software and display system software.
After a comprehensive assessment by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), it was confirmed that the relevant corrective measures can eliminate the above unsafe conditions.
The filing means that the principals required by the CAAC have been basically met, and Boeing can be allowed to enter the technical procedures of airworthiness certification, Qi Qi, an industry observer told the Global Times on Saturday,

| Elon Musk keeps fans guessing by tweeting mysterious Chinese poem |

Hong Kong/Seoul (CNN Business)Elon Musk is known for setting the internet ablaze with his cryptic tweets. Now he's doing it in another language.
The Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX CEO tweeted an ancient Chinese poem Monday night. It's not clear what reference Musk intended, but the tweet, which was titled "Humankind," included a composition known as the "Quatrain of Seven Steps." The poem is famous in China, and refers to a spat between brothers.
It is often attributed to Cao Zhi, son of an ancient Chinese warlord, who was said to live during the Three Kingdoms era (220 to 280 AD). Legend has it that Cao's elder brother, a newly crowned king, was jealous of Cao's talent. Suspecting that his brother was trying to usurp his rule, the king then forced him to write a poem within the amount of time it took to walk just seven steps.
The rhyme translates into English as follows:
"Beanstalks are burned to cook beans
The beans weep in the pot
We grow from the same root
Why should we boil each other with such impatience?"

MELAKA – Pakatan Harapan (PH) is confident of winning at least 18 of the 28 seats in the upcoming Melaka election, enough to secure a majority to form a new government.
Melaka PKR chief Datuk Halim Bachik said this projection is based on the sentiments of voters on the ground and their acceptance of the coalition.
He added that the strict standard operating procedures, which bar physical campaigning, are unlikely to hamper PH’s chances of bagging a second victory in just slightly more than three years in the coastal state.
“For PKR alone, we are fully convinced that we will win a minimum of six or seven seats. God willing, we can even secure nine,” he said in a virtual press conference today.
“When I go to the ground, for example, to Sg Rambai, the people accept us. They didn’t want the election, but it was forced because of the conflict among the government assemblymen.

| Keluarga Malaysia showing cracks, far from being united, says Guan Eng |

PETALING JAYA: The Keluarga Malaysia initiative by Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob is beginning to show cracks with the leading parties in the ruling coalition engaging in a vicious and open fight in the Melaka state polls campaign, says DAP.
Besides this, party secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said the heavily lopsided allocations in Budget 2022 for the different communities gave Malaysians the impression that the concept is beginning to look like it is mere lip service.
He said the attacks and counter-attacks using words like “stupid and evil” as well as challenges thrown to bring down the Johor state government also raise questions on the fragility of the federal government.
“With this intense animosity displayed by the leaders of the coalition, who are fighting like cats and dogs, how can the prime minister unite Malaysians and ensure political stability under his Keluarga Malaysia initiative?” he said in his speech at the Selangor DAP convention today.
