MELAKA: Melaka’s youngest election candidate, Farzana Hayani Mohd Nasir, says her age would not be an obstacle to serving the people if she was elected in the Sungai Rambai seat.

Farzana, 21, who is known as ‘Nana’, an undergraduate at Universiti Teknoloji Mara (UiTM), said she was ready and willing to serve the people of Melaka, especially the community in her area.

“I never thought I would be chosen as a candidate, but I am very ready to help the people and the community in Melaka,” she said on Bernama TV tonight.

  Book review: Nazir Razak’s candid look at dad, career and country – P. Gunasegaram
Posted by: superadmin - 11-08-2021, 06:54 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

[Image: Nazir_Razak_Whats_in_a_Name_The_Vibes_pic.png]

WRITING a book linking the work of your father to your own values and career and what you think the future path your country should take is a rather tall order, especially when your father is one of the nation’s founding fathers, its first deputy prime minister and its second prime minister. And when you were a mere nine years old when your dad died.

Well, that’s exactly what Datuk Seri Nazir Razak, a well-known corporate icon in Malaysia and the youngest son of Tun Abdul Razak Hussein, has succeeded in doing with his book, What’s In a Name, which is available for sale at bookshops today at RM89.95.

It’s a bold, brave and, most of all, admirable effort considering the pitfalls and potholes such a path would come with, and the amount of disagreement and controversy that such an undertaking would generate even in the best of times due to its complexity.

MIRI – The tussle for seats in Sarawak has already gotten hot, even before the date for the 12th state election has been announced.

State Perikatan Nasional (PN) parties Bersatu and PAS indicated their intention to contest certain seats, but their partner, Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), has retorted with a big “no”.

PBB vice-president Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said all the 82 state seats are already planned to be contested by the ruling coalition of Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS).

GPS is made up of PBB, Sarawak United Peoples’ Party, Parti Rakyat Sarawak, and Progressive Democratic Party.

PN has been on friendly terms with GPS. It comprises Bersatu, PAS, Sabah Star, Sabah Progressive Party, and Gerakan.

“We in GPS have identified our candidates for all the 82 state seats,” he said. “There is no vacant seat for PN.

  PAS struggling to hold on to political brand in Perikatan, says DAP’s Chin Tong
Posted by: superadmin - 11-08-2021, 06:25 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 8 — PAS is facing a brand identity crisis in its political alliance with Bersatu in their Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition, according to DAP strategist Liew Chin Tong.

The Opposition politician said the conservative Islamist party is struggling to uphold its brand of religious politics as it has to contend with the dynamics of PN, handle its position in government and also prepare to face off with Umno again in GE15.

“Being in the federal government means the party cannot burn the house down by championing racial and religious issues in a fiery tone but has to deal with legal constraints, problem solving, and managing daily affairs, none of which are PAS’ strength.

[Image: mahfuz-omar-Muhammad-Sanusi-Md-Nor-colla...121-11.jpg]

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here ordered Kedah menteri besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor today to pay RM50,000 in damages to Pokok Sena MP Mahfuz Omar over a defamatory statement made on Facebook two years ago.

Judicial commissioner Mohd Arief Emran Arifin made the order after allowing a defamation suit filed by Mahfuz as the plaintiff against Sanusi as the defendant.

Lawyer Noorazmir Zakaria, who represented Mahfuz, said the court had ordered Sanusi to pay the damages within 14 days from today.

“The court also ordered the defendant (Sanusi) to write an apology to the plaintiff on the defendant’s Facebook page within 14 days, besides paying legal costs to the plaintiff amounting to RM15,000.

“Other orders imposed are an injunction restraining the defendant or his agents from publishing defamatory words against the plaintiff in the future,” he said when contacted by reporters via WhatsApp after the decision was announced via an online proceeding today.

MELAKA: Umno had never any intention to threaten PAS not to join forces with Bersatu as each political party is free to execute its own policies and plans, Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said today.

However, Umno had recently brought up the decisions taken by the Muafakat Nasional leadership in October and November last year regarding the basis of continuing their alliance for the Melaka state elections.

Oh Ei Sun of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs said PAS must ultimately decide whether it wants to side with Umno or Bersatu at GE15.


He was commenting on PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man’s remarks that the “friendly” clashes in Melaka would not occur in GE15.
