  COMMENT | Whoever wins, nothing will change for Malacca

COMMENT | We should have learned many lessons over the last three years since the 14th general election (GE14) in 2018 and the Sabah snap polls in September last year.

A large portion of that time had Malaysians dealing with the threat of Covid-19 and a laggard economy. Worse, we had been subjected to an endless spell of a political pandemic.

Our politicians need only to turn around and look at the coffins being carried to the burial grounds and crematoriums and the people’s skimpy dinner tables to understand the hard times the dreadful virus and straggling economy had brought to the lives and livelihood of the rakyat.

Tomorrow it will be D-Day for Malacca and not surprisingly but most unfortunately, the politicians appear none the wiser.

  Decision day in Malacca: Race, apathy and political gambits

MALACCA POLLS | Curtains on the 12-day campaign for the Malacca polls are set to come down at midnight and Malaccans will elect their new government tomorrow.

As the clock ticks, the three major coalitions contesting for seats in the state legislative assembly - BN, PN and Pakatan Harapan - are making a final push.

Perikatan Nasional, for example, took a page out of the opposition's playbook of making symbolic moves aimed at building hype in the face of a formidable BN machinery, announcing its Tanjung Bidara candidate Mas Ermieyati Samsudin as its chief ministerial candidate just two days before polling day.

If PN wins, that would make her the first female head of government in a state.

  Kedah MB: Within your right to challenge state’s gambling ban decision
Posted by: superadmin - 11-18-2021, 09:37 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

[Image: FW1114513_KD07_15112020_BELANJAWAN_2021_...02-lpr.JPG]

ALOR SETAR, Nov 18 — Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor said today any party who wishes to file a judiciary review on the state government’s decision to no longer issue permits for gambling premises in the state is welcomed to do so.

He said they had the right to challenge the decision if they felt that it contravened any law under the Federal Constitution.

“They can challenge the decision if they feel closing down the premises contravened any law. In my opinion, the move taken is based on the laws of the country. Kelantan and Terengganu did the same thing and did not face any lawsuit at all.

  Zafrul confirms cabinet discussion after Dr M queries RM100m housing for Najib

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.

  ‘Abah’ is our hope: Perikatan candidates banking on Muhyiddin’s aura for victory
Posted by: superadmin - 11-18-2021, 06:26 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

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 hits record $185 billion in first 9 months
Posted by: superadmin - 11-17-2021, 08:18 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies

[Image: cbd9aac95a7d4ea69b66eec73cc41341.jpeg]

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.
