Gambling operators urged to start new businesses: Sanusi Posted by: superadmin - 11-15-2021, 07:54 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies ALOR STAR – Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor has called on all owners of gambling premises who are not allowed to operate in the state to find other business alternatives to survive. Sanusi said he also believes that not many people in the state will be affected or unemployed as a result of the decision to shutter gambling premises in Kedah. “I don't see many people involved in gambling premises, compared to the damage done by them. “Look for other businesses. During the pandemic, many people lost their jobs and did all kinds of businesses. “We need to be creative,” he said at a press conference following the state assembly session today. - More -   Journalists’ role is to ask tough questions, says think tank Posted by: superadmin - 11-15-2021, 05:48 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The most important role of journalists is to ask tough and relevant questions and it is the duty of politicians to answer as honestly and clearly as possible, according to a think tank. Emir Research CEO and president Rais Hussin said journalists play a role and function in holding politicians to account and complement the check-and-balance dynamics in the political system. “This is why for politicians to be abrasive and disrespectful towards journalists is most uncalled for. In a multi-party democracy, politicians from all sides of the divide depend on journalists to highlight issues and cases on their behalf. “They must, therefore, adapt to a culture and norm in which difficult and challenging questions posed by journalists are to be expected and, indeed, to be welcomed. - More -   More poor people in cities than rural areas, says Tok Pa Posted by: superadmin - 11-15-2021, 05:45 PM - Forum: Business. Economy and Investment - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR: Economic affairs minister Mustapa Mohamed has revealed that urban poverty is worse than rural poverty in the country. “Urban poverty is 45% more than rural poverty in the country. There are more poor people in the cities than in rural areas,” he told the Dewan Rakyat today. Mustapa, also known as Tok Pa, said the government would update the eKasih database to ensure that only those categorised as poor and hardcore poor were listed. The move was in line with the government’s intention to eliminate hardcore poverty by 2025. - More -   When are you going to declare Islamic state, Mukhriz asks Kedah govt Posted by: superadmin - 11-15-2021, 05:42 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies ALOR SETAR: Mukhriz Mahathir (PH-Jitra) today sarcastically asked the Kedah government if it was planning to declare an Islamic state, following its announcement that it will not renew the business licences of four-digit lottery outlets. The former menteri besar raised the question after a backbencher hailed the state government’s decision to effectively ban gaming oulets and to restrict alcohol sales Mohd Azam Abdul Samad (PAS-Sungai Limau) had earlier said “any right-thinking Muslim” in the Kedah assembly would support such a move “as Allah had decreed it”. He then recited a Quranic verse and asked Muslims in the assembly to rise in support of the ban. All on the government benches rose from their seats, and were joined by two opposition assemblymen – Ismail Salleh (PH-Pengkalan Kundor) and Mohd Asmirul Anuar Aris (PH-Kubang Rotan). They are both from Amanah. - More -   Get 4D ban in Kedah reversed, DAP tells non-Muslim ministers Posted by: superadmin - 11-15-2021, 05:36 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: DAP has challenged ministers representing non-Muslim parties in the Cabinet to raise the continuing infringement of the basic rights of the community at its next meeting. DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said parties such as MCA and MIC in the peninsula and others from Sabah and Sarawak should speak up against the Kedah government’s decision to stop the renewal of business licences for four-digit lottery outlets, which effectively was a ban. He said they should get the ban revoked at the Cabinet meeting to prove that they can stop PAS from pushing for extremist policies that violate the rights of individuals. “DAP agrees that there should be restrictions imposed such as prohibiting Muslims and addressing the social problems involved. But it should not infringe on the basic rights of others. “This hasty decision by Kedah without any consultation with the stakeholders has not only ignored the cultural diversity, customary lifestyle and business practices that have gone on since Merdeka but it also affects those who have invested in legal gaming outlets,” he said in a statement today. - More -   Malayan political parties aren’t welcome in Sarawak election: Abang Jo Posted by: superadmin - 11-15-2021, 03:10 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies MIRI – Caretaker Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg made clear that Malayan political parties should stay out of the Sarawak election because they are not welcomed. “Stay out of the state election. Leave Sarawak to us. We Sarawakians know how to run the state. We don’t want Malaya politics to end up in Sarawak.” Speaking during the launch of the RM90 million City Hall complex at Miri Marina Bay this morning, Johari said Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) knows how to manage the state. “We know Sarawak better than anyone else. Look at Malaya, they have had three prime ministers in the past few years. We don’t want our politics to end up like that.” Meanwhile, Johari said he is glad to note that Miri still has economic potential as the oil capital of Sarawak. He, however, said the local political scene in Miri must remain stable. - More -   Do you want a PH govt in Melaka? Shahrir asks Muhyiddin over ‘bodoh’ accusation Posted by: superadmin - 11-15-2021, 02:54 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – Umno stalwart Tan Sri Shahrir Abdul Samad has fired back a salvo at Bersatu president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s statement that the former is “bodoh” (stupid) for challenging him to collapse the Umno-led Johor administration. Speaking to The Vibes, the veteran politician said he threw down the gauntlet to Muhyiddin, seeing how the former prime minister had painted Umno in a bad light over the Melaka election, which was triggered due to the party’s internal power struggle. “My issue was actually about the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government. In the case of Melaka, what (Datuk Seri) Idris Haron was trying to do was to give the state back to the PH government. And surely, Muhyiddin would not want this to happen.” He said it is not a good thing to dissolve the Melaka assembly and force the rakyat into an election. - More -   Govt’s bid against M’sian mothers conferring citizenship to kids born abroad failed Posted by: superadmin - 11-15-2021, 02:49 PM - Forum: Stop Gender Inequality - No Replies KL High Court trashes govt’s bid against M’sian mothers conferring citizenship to kids born abroad KUALA LUMPUR – The high court here has dismissed the government’s bid to stay the September 9 decision on granting Malaysian mothers equal rights to confer citizenship to their children born overseas. Judge Datuk Akhtar Tahir also ordered a cost of RM5,000 be paid to all plaintiffs as Malaysian government’s bid was “unnecessary”. However, the government still has a pending appeal filed on September 9 at the Court of Appeal on the original high court ruling. In a statement, Family Frontiers – an organisation representing the affected mothers – said it is appalled that the government in its submission stated that there is no prejudice to the mothers in allowing the stay. On this, the judge said the “hardships faced by the mothers are current hardships and they have waited long enough”. - More -   No bad blood: dropped as candidate, Ginie Lim still solid in campaigning for PKR Posted by: superadmin - 11-15-2021, 02:34 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies 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. - More -   Let down by our leaders Posted by: superadmin - 11-15-2021, 02:28 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies 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. - More - Pages (1331): « Previous 1 … 987 988 989 990 991 … 1331 Next » Jump to page:
