| MP SPEAKS | DAP foes rubbing their hands in glee at party infighting |

MP SPEAKS | DAP opponents are clapping their hands in glee as they see the party joining the chaos, division and disunity which had afflicted all major political parties for the last three years.
Until recently, the DAP has not only proved that it is the only major political party whose 42 MPs have remained intact, solid and united, spurning the “frog” culture, but the party as a whole had been purposive, disciplined and forward-looking, working for the best interests of the people and nation.
But recent days tell a very different story - DAP appears to be as chaotic, divided and disunited as the other major political parties.
This is a matter which must concern all DAP leaders, members and supporters who are serious about pursuing the Malaysian Dream of a united, progressive and prosperous world-class great Malaysian nation.
We are in politics, not for ourselves, but for the nation and for the sake of our children and children’s children.
Malaysia is in unchartered territory since May 9, 2018, as what happened in the 14th general election is historic and unprecedented. We not only underwent a peaceful and democratic transition of power first time in six decades, but we also ended hegemonic politics where one political party could lord over the others and exercise supreme political power while the other parties were just hangers-on totally dependent on the wants, whim and fancies of this one hegemonic political party.

New Delhi (CNN)Just six weeks ago, India's Health Minister declared that the country was "in the endgame" of the Covid-19 pandemic. On Friday, India reported the world's highest single-day number of new cases since the pandemic began, for the second day in a row.
India's second wave, which began in mid-March, has devastated communities and hospitals across the country. Everything is in short supply -- intensive care unit beds, medicine, oxygen and ventilators. Bodies are piling up in morgues and crematoriums.
India reported 332,730 new cases on Friday, marking the highest daily case count globally. The United States is second, having recorded a high of 300,310 cases on January 2.
India's population is roughly four times that of the US, and its daily cases still fall behind the US when adjusted for population size (in cases per million people).

New Covid variant detected at Texas A&M lab shows signs of antibody resistance and more severe illness in young people
- Scientists at Texas A&M University Global Health Research Complex say they’ve detected a new Covid-19 variant that shows signs of antibody resistance.
- The variant is named BV-1 for its Brazos Valley origin.
- Scientists say it is related to the U.K. strain and shows signs of resistance to antibody neutralization.
Scientists at Texas A&M University’s Global Health Research Complex say they’ve detected a new Covid-19 variant that shows signs of a more contagious strain that causes more severe illness and appears to be resistant to antibodies.
The new variant, BV-1, named after its Brazos Valley origin, was found during Texas A&M’s routine coronavirus screening via saliva sample in a young student who had mild cold-like symptoms. The student tested positive for Covid on March 5 and tested positive again on March 25, showing that the new strain may cause a longer infection in younger people. The student’s symptoms resolved by April 2 and a third test on April 9 came back negative.
