Umno division chief charged with laundering RM11 million Posted by: superadmin - 07-12-2021, 03:16 PM - Forum: Local News - Replies (1) BUTTERWORTH: A Penang Umno leader has been charged at the sessions court here with 106 counts of money laundering amounting to over RM11 million in cash, stocks and property as ‘gifts’ received from various companies. Bayan Baru Umno chief Mansor Musa was charged with receiving kickbacks between Sept 2011 and Aug 10, 2020. The source of the kickbacks was not named in the court documents shown to reporters. Mansor, who was Batu Maung assemblyman from 2004 to 2008, was charged with 42 counts of engaging in money laundering and 64 counts of abetting laundering in the span of over nine years. The case is being investigated under Section 4(1)(a) and (b) of the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act 2001. - More -   Researchers propose plan to target spread of virus, get economy going Posted by: superadmin - 07-12-2021, 03:12 PM - Forum: Business. Economy and Investment - No Replies PETALING JAYA: An economic policy think tank has presented a plan to ditch lockdowns entirely and allow the targeted spread of the virus to enable the economy to function while limiting the infection of the community’s most vulnerable. Published by the Center for Market Education (CME) and titled “Fighting Covid-19 in Malaysia: Mass Testing and Other Reasonable Proposals”, the authors argue that such a solution would combat the pandemic without sacrificing the social and economic structure of the country. “We believe that we have offered a fresh analysis grounded in a sounder trade-off analysis and on the principle of individual responsibility. Contrary to what we have seen so far, this is indeed a plan,” said CME chief Carmelo Ferlito, noting that the government’s current reliance on lockdowns is ineffective and untenable. Ferlito said the “blind faith” in movement restrictions and the focus on reducing infections should instead be replaced by allowing transmission to increase among those healthy enough to stave off the virus’ worst effects so immunity can be built through exposure, while only those with comorbidities or other vulnerabilities are protected from it. - More -   Japanese, German And Dutch Investors Tell Mahiaddin: “We May Leave Malaysia” Posted by: superadmin - 07-12-2021, 12:58 PM - Forum: Business. Economy and Investment - No Replies At least three international business communities in Malaysia have expressed their concerns towards the government’s poor Covid-19 response. They are the the Japanese Chamber of Trade & Industry Malaysia (JACTIM) and Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO); the Malaysian-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (AHK); and the Malaysian Dutch Business Council (MDBC). Their respective concerns can be read from the full statements below. - More -   True picture of Covid crisis now being seen, says think tank Posted by: superadmin - 07-12-2021, 11:57 AM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Malaysia is paying the price for under-testing for Covid-19 infections, says a think tank, adding the “real picture” on the ground is only now coming to light. Azrul Mohd Khalib, who heads the Galen Centre for Health and Social Policy, told FMT this is why it is unsurprising that the infectivity rate continues to rise despite the total lockdown. In fact, the infectivity rate, or R0/RT, rose from 1.07 on June 1 when the total lockdown came into force to 1.13 as of yesterday. “We are starting to see what the epidemic really looks like. Malaysia has based its assumption of the situation on reported case numbers, and this has given us an inaccurate picture of what’s happening on the ground. “It is clear that cases have been under-reported. Now, as more testing is being done, we know the majority of the cases are sporadic and not linked to clusters.” Azrul said this indicates that the lockdown strategy has done very little to curb the spread of the virus because it was already in the community. - More -   Drinking Coffee May Cut Risk Of Covid-19 Infection: Study Posted by: superadmin - 07-12-2021, 11:50 AM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies A cup of coffee a day can do more than just keeping you alert while working from home during the pandemic. It may help reduce your risk of Co vid-19 infection. According to a new study, drinking one or more cups of coffee per day was associated with about a 10 per cent decrease in risk of Covid-19, compared to less than one cup daily. Led by researchers from the Northwestern University in the US, the study also suggested that eating more vegetables, and less processed meats, could reduce the risk of Covid-19 infection. The study results were published in the journal Nutrients. Coffee has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and the new study suggested that coffee consumption has positive effects on inflammatory biomarkers such as CRP, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumour necrosis factor I (TNF-I), which are also linked to Covid-19 severity and mortality. Further, drinking coffee has been associated with lower risk of pneumonia in elderly. "Taken together, an immunoprotective effect of coffee against Covid-19 is plausible and merits further investigation," the authors noted. - More -   Hundreds of Thai medical workers infected despite Sinovac Covid-19 vaccinations Posted by: superadmin - 07-12-2021, 11:25 AM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies BANGKOK (REUTERS) - Thailand's Health Ministry said on Sunday (July 11) that more than 600 medical workers who received two doses of China's Sinovac vaccine have been infected with Covid-19, as the authorities weigh giving booster doses to raise immunity. Of the 677,348 medical personnel who received two doses of Sinovac, 618 became infected, Health Ministry data from April to July showed. A nurse has died and another medical worker is in critical condition. An expert panel has recommended a third dose to trigger immunity for medical workers who are at risk, senior health official Sopon Iamsirithawon told a news briefing on Sunday. "This will be a different vaccine, either viral vector AstraZeneca or an mRNA vaccine, which Thailand will be receiving in the near term," he said, adding that the recommendation will be considered on Monday. The announcement comes as the South-east Asian country reported a record high of 9,418 community infections on Sunday. On Saturday, the authorities reported a record of 91 new daily coronavirus deaths. - More -   Pejuang more likely to team up with PN, say analysts Posted by: superadmin - 07-12-2021, 11:10 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Political analysts say it will be difficult for a newly registered party like Pejuang to win the 15th general election (GE15) and govern the country by itself, even if it is led by a statesman like Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Former Universiti Sains Malaysia lecturer Ahmad Atory Hussain said that looking at the current political landscape, he would not rule out Pejuang forming an alliance with Perikatan Nasional (PN) after GE15. He also expects the four Pejuang MPs to vote in support of Muhyiddin Yassin as the prime minister if a confidence motion is tabled when Parliament reconvenes on July 26. This support could come in response to the government’s decision to approve Pejuang’s registration, Atory said. “Mahathir is also worried that if his party does not support Muhyiddin, the PKR president (Anwar Ibrahim) will become the prime minister, which is why Muhyiddin approved the registration of Pejuang,” he said. Asked if Pejuang would be able to win in GE15, he said that while the former prime minister’s aura was not as strong as before, he still had influence. - More -   Football EURO 2020: A win for COVID?

It was already 5.55pm, but minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (law and Parliament) Takiyuddin Hassan had earlier in the day moved that the House not be adjourned until the last minister had completed his turn to answer during the debate on the royal address. Forty-five minutes into his speech, Zafrul was asked by his predecessor, Lim Guan Eng, about the RM3.9 million 1MDB settlement agreement with Goldman Sachs: - More -   Man buys food from struggling hawkers to feed the hungry Posted by: superadmin - 07-11-2021, 04:59 PM - Forum: Inspiring Stories - No Replies KLANG: While thousands of Malaysians continue to suffer due to the rough economic climate caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, it is inspiring to see many individuals stepping forward to help the less fortunate. Klang’s very own Francis Poh is one example of yet another kind soul who is out there making a difference despite his own troubles. Poh has found a way to simultaneously alleviate the financial burdens of street hawkers and the hungry, by ordering food from the former to feed the latter. Once a performing artist and entrepreneur, Poh’s own struggles began last year, when the various movement control orders (MCO) all but halted the entertainment industry. “I know some of my fellow performers and entertainers made close to nothing last year,” he lamented, revealing that he lost 95% of his projected business revenue in 2020. - More - Pages (1224): « Previous 1 … 1023 1024 1025 1026 1027 … 1224 Next » Jump to page:
