China's space agency just gave the Communist Party a big 100th birthday gift: a rover on Mars
Hong Kong (CNN)China's space agency has an extraordinary gift for the ruling Communist Party's 100th birthday: a rover on Mars.
The historic landing on Saturday of Zhurong, a rover named after the god of fire in ancient Chinese folklore, was a crowning moment for China. It not only demonstrated the country's growing capabilities in space, but also served as a timely reminder of how far the country has come since its founding.
During the 1919 May Fourth movement that paved the way for the birth of the Party two years later, patriotic Chinese students and intellectuals rallied for science and democracy to save the weak and divided country from the hands of Western powers.
A century on and China is veering further from democracy under its authoritarian leader Xi Jinping -- but its scientific prowess is making tremendous strides, and fast rivaling that of the West.
And China's ambitious space program is perhaps the most eye-catching example of that.
China only launched its first satellite half a century ago. Already, it is the second country in the world to have a rover on the red planet, after only the United States.

PETALING JAYA: A former judge has observed that Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat appears to be “the only man in the Federal Court ” when it comes to constitutional cases.
Gopal Sri Ram said Tengku Maimun, the first woman to be appointed to the post, had displayed the trait that she was no one’s servant but “only the servant of the Federal Constitution” in her judgements on such cases.
“I think she is the best man for the job. We are very lucky to have her. She is very competent. She is decisive (and) knows what she is doing,” Sri Ram said in an interview with the editorial committee of the Penang Bar’s internal news bulletin, Voix D’ Advocate.
Tengku Maimun was appointed Federal Court judge in November 2018, and was made the top judge of the nation six months later.

PETALING JAYA: Umno’s best chance at winning the next general election is for the party to put the right person in the driver’s seat for Umno and Barisan Nasional, says a political analyst.
And for Council of Professors fellow Jeniri Amir, the right “driver” is Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan, who is one of three prominent presidential candidates for the party elections this year.
The other two are foreign minister Hishammuddin Hussein and defence minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
Hishamuddin, a former vice-president, is a party “blue blood”: his grandfather is Onn Jaafar, the party founder, and his father, Hussein Onn was the party’s fourth president.
