With 21 seats, BN can comfortably form the state government without entering into negotiations or forming a pact with another coalition, especially estranged allies in Perikatan Nasional (PN). Despite multi-cornered fights across all 28 state seats, BN managed to secure a huge mandate in many areas, especially rural Malay-majority ones, even trumping a former Umno chief minister-turned-political rival who was supposedly part of the group of lawmakers that triggered the state election in the first place. The polls also saw a strong voter turnout of over 60 per cent, contrary to the far lower predictions of less than 50 per cent by political observers who cited concerns over the Covid-19 pandemic as well as other priorities. - More -   After Melaka loss, Muhyiddin says PN will fight on Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2021, 08:54 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies AYER KEROH: A defiant Muhyiddin Yassin says Perikatan Nasional (PN) will continue to be Barisan Nasional’s (BN) main challenger despite his coalition’s heavy defeat in the Melaka state election. At a press conference, Muhyiddin also rebuffed a call by Umno’s Lokman Adam who had asked him to dissolve Bersatu and rejoin Umno. “Thank you for the invite but we have charted our path based on our values and principles.” Muhyiddin said the coalition was ready to face the upcoming general election adding that it was not a problem. On whether the Melaka election would affect PN’s cooperation with BN, Muhyiddin said the cooperation at the federal level took place before the polls and that the priority was still to help the people and the country recover from the pandemic. - More -   PAS may just have to return to Umno’s side, says academic Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2021, 08:49 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The Islamic party PAS may have no choice but to return to the Muafakat Nasional (MN) fold with Umno after its abysmal performance in the Melaka election tonight, an academic said. Azmi Hassan also said the party would have to rethink its affiliation with Perikatan Nasional, under whose ticket it contested in the state elections, as it lost in all its eight seats. “PAS has no choice since PN did badly,” he told FMT. PAS had decided to contest under the PN banner, which led to some predicting the demise of MN, a pact it forged with Umno in 2019. - More -   BN promises anti-hopping enactment post-Melaka: Zahid Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2021, 08:45 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies MELAKA – Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has promised to introduce an anti-hopping enactment in Melaka after the coalition successfully reclaimed the state in the snap polls today.  In a press conference at the BN command centre this evening, the Umno president said the coalition would work on amendments to legislations to avoid party-hopping among elected assemblymen. “Our victory today sends a signal that Melaka voters are returning their support to BN. Thank you to all Melaka voters for giving this chance to BN. “With this victory, BN acknowledges the people’s desire for political stability and we will translate this stability not only in Melaka but also all over Malaysia,” said Zahid, who is also the Bagan Datuk lawmaker. - More -   COMMENT | Harapan defeat a referendum on Anwar's leadership Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2021, 08:41 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies COMMENTS | Pakatan Harapan's defeat in Malacca, which includes a total wipeout for PKR, is a clear referendum on Anwar Ibrahim's leadership. The opposition chief has shown time and again that he is willing to make questionable decisions in order to gain the upper hand in his quest for a "strong, formidable majority". Worse yet, Anwar justifies actions such as taking in "frogs" by saying it is to return the people's mandate. If the PKR president will not listen to critics in his own party and coalition, then he must listen to the voters. - More -   Senior citizens out in full force to cast votes in Melaka polls Posted by: superadmin - 11-20-2021, 03:21 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – All eyes have been on Melaka over the past two weeks, despite a tranquilised campaign atmosphere. Hard work by candidates and their supporters boiled down to the polls that opened at 8am today. At noon, voter turnout was 36%, according to the Election Commission. And it was not only candidates who stole the limelight at polling stations. The election saw senior citizens coming out in full force to cast their votes. Among them was 85-year-old Sedah Kassim, mother of Barisan Nasional’s (BN) Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh who is vying for the Tg Bidara seat. Sedah cast her vote at SK Jeram, reported The Vibes sister portal Getaran. In SK Durian Tunggal, Che Ta Md Som, 89, and her 90-year-old husband Fajar Hasan were also seen casting their ballots. The couple – who had been voting at elections even before independence – did not waste the opportunity to exercise their democratic right today, saying they do not fear Covid-19 as they are fully vaccinated. - More -   AGC must explain appeal withdrawal in Ku Nan's graft case - Malaysian Bar Posted by: superadmin - 11-19-2021, 09:26 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies The Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) must explain its decision to withdraw an appeal against former federal territories minister Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor's acquittal in a graft case. In a statement, the Malaysian Bar said it was "perturbed by the AGC's purported decision to withdraw the appeal, taking into consideration the fact that the Court of Appeal’s decision was not unanimous".

China Zhangjiajie unveils 'world's first scenic spot metaverse R&D center,' Posted by: superadmin - 11-19-2021, 08:20 PM - Forum: Travels - No Replies C. China Zhangjiajie unveils 'world's first scenic spot metaverse R&D center,' aims to create the world of Avatar A famous Chinese sightseeing spot Zhangjiajie, where Hollywood blockbuster Avatar was shot, which unveiled what it claimed to be "the world's first scenic spot metaverse research and development (R&D) center" with aspirations to build the world of Avatar, has generated huge discussions in recent days on social media platforms about whether such an establishment is merely capitalizing on the hype and whether tourism authorities have the ability to actually make breakthroughs in one of the most cutting-edge areas of the tech sector. Industry insiders said that the move by the tourist spot is very "bold" but still "within reasonable reach," as gaming, cultural and entertainment are poised to be the sectors which see the earliest metaverse applications - although talks of building a virtual social network, which leading tech companies like Facebook have been mulling out efforts, are still in their infancy. Analysts also suggested that Zhangjiajie authorities work with tech teams and companies to speed up transforming their ideas into a reality. The controversy following the news also mirrors the buzz surrounding the concept of metaverse, where capital excitement has been overblown but all players are just in the early stage of building basic infrastructures to make a parallel virtual world a reality. "We are not hyping concepts, but seriously want to do this," head of the digital transformation team of national forest park of Zhangjiajie, who declined to give his name, told the Global Times on Friday, in response to public doubts. "We have always wanted to make Zhangjiajie a scene where people could experience the Avatar film. It may not be possible at the current stage, but it can be done in the future." - More -   Is Zuraida forming a new political party? Posted by: superadmin - 11-19-2021, 08:12 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Is former PKR defector Zuraida Kamaruddin now quitting Bersatu to form a new political party? Speculation is rife that the plantation industries and commodities minister and several MPs are forming a “new” political party which will be launched next month. Earlier today, two other ex-PKR MPs also said they are in the midst of setting up a party called Parti Bangsa Malaysia. A source told FMT that Zuraida’s political party will be using an existing political party from Sarawak, albeit with a new name. “An independent MP has allowed the name of his party to be amended so that it is more appealing to all Malaysians. - More - Pages (1335): « Previous 1 … 987 988 989 990 991 … 1335 Next » Jump to page:
