NGO Kuasa to launch election website to track GE15’s 20 most hotly-contested seats Posted by: superadmin - 04-12-2021, 02:58 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR, April 12 — A website aimed at furnishing voters with the latest developments in relation to 20 hot seats, predicted to be key battlegrounds in the upcoming general election (GE15), will be launched on Wednesday by non-governmental organisation, Kuasa.  The website, according to Kuasa chief executive Praba Ganesan, will provide information on these seats such as potential candidates, the history of MPs in those constituencies, general information and local issues affecting the area, and links to election hopefuls’ official social media accounts.  When explaining the intentions behind the website, Praba said the portal, which will go ‘live’ on Wednesday afternoon, was set up to provide the correct demographics with relevant information on the personalities contesting in their constituencies. He said this is to combat the predicament usually faced by voters, who, most of the time, have only eight to 10 days to familiarise themselves with candidates before deciding who to cast their vote for. - More -   Show compassion when dealing with LGBTQ community, says Muslim scholar Posted by: superadmin - 04-12-2021, 02:11 PM - Forum: Local News - No Replies PETALING JAYA: A prominent Turkish scholar said compassion in Islam should be brought to the fore when dealing with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) community. Mustafa Akyol said Muslims should understand that LGBTQ individuals endure a difficult life. “They come with an inborn inclination which sees them harassed and looked down upon. “I think the compassion of Islam, the respect of Islam should come to the fore,” he said at a webinar titled “Freedom and Tolerance in Islam: Why We Need Some Rethinking”, organised by G25 and Edunity Foundation. Akyol, however, stated that he was not saying that Islam believes every sexual behaviour is morally right, adding that the religion also frowns upon pre-marital sex. But, he said, a distinction needs to be made between Islam morally approving a certain behaviour and that of the people who have that certain behaviour as they are equal citizens with rights. - More -   We have the tools to prevent monopolies, says MCMC Posted by: superadmin - 04-12-2021, 11:19 AM - Forum: Business. Economy and Investment - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has given its assurance that it has tools in place to prevent monopolies. It said this in responding to FMT over concerns from the public that the planned merger between telecommunications giants Celcom and Digi could lead to a monopoly and fewer options for consumers. In a statement, MCMC said as a regulator, it will not comment on the merger until there is better clarity over the deal. “Moreover, the regulatory framework in place has the right tools to prevent monopolies as well as ensuring that consumers are protected,” it said. - More -   Ratify trade pacts to increase FDI, external trade, says DAP MP Posted by: superadmin - 04-12-2021, 11:06 AM - Forum: Business. Economy and Investment - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Former deputy international trade and industry minister Ong Kian Ming has urged the government to ratify two partnerships to increase foreign direct investment (FDI) and external trade. The partnerships are the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). Stressing that it is his personal opinion, the DAP MP for Bangi said this would send a strong signal that Malaysia was indeed open for business and serious in its efforts to attract FDI. “At the same time, this will strengthen our industrial base, with complementary domestic policies such as our Industry 4WRD or Industry 4.0 plan,” he said in a statement. - More -   Can you confirm gay sex video, too? MP asks Azmin Posted by: superadmin - 04-12-2021, 11:02 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: A PKR MP has hit back at the party’s former deputy president, Azmin Ali, after the senior minister said the audio recording purportedly of Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Anwar Ibrahim is genuine. Yesterday, Azmin, who is the Perikatan Nasional information chief, said he was certain it was Anwar’s voice in the recording. “I think this is the biggest treachery Anwar has committed, not just against his party but also against Pakatan Harapan as PKR is a component party,” said Azmin, who also urged authorities to investigate the recording’s authenticity. Speaking to FMT, Kapar MP Abdullah Sani Abdul Hamid said even if the recording, which suggested that Anwar and Zahid were working together, was genuine, there was no issue at all. - More -   Bersatu-PAS alliance will strengthen Perikatan, but a GE15 victory? Not so fast! Posted by: superadmin - 04-12-2021, 10:43 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Bersatu-PAS alliance will strengthen Perikatan, but a GE15 victory? Not so fast, say analysts KUALA LUMPUR, April 12 — The alliance between Islamist party PAS and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) may serve to strengthen the flagging Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition, but the dynamism of its unity will only be seen in the 15th general election, analysts said. Those polled by Malay Mail opined that the situation remains too fluid for them to predict whether the cooperation between the two parties could scupper Umno-Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) chances at the polls. Shazwan Mustafa Kamal, a senior associate with political risk and public policy consultancy Vriens & Partners, believes that Bersatu and PAS alone may not have enough star appeal to win the next national polls, and would need more allies down the road. “Bersatu and PAS’ commitment to each other will help strengthen PN, given Umno’s recent decision to formally quit working with Bersatu in GE15. For one, the seat negotiations between Bersatu and PAS would likely be less complicated than with Umno. - More -   Back off, Selangor MB’s sec tells pro-Anwar groups Posted by: superadmin - 04-11-2021, 02:33 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Outsiders should not interfere in the selection of candidates for Pakatan Harapan (PH) in the next general election (GE15) as it can harm ties within the coalition, says an aide to the Selangor menteri besar. Juwairiya Zulkifli, the political secretary to Selangor menteri besar Amirudin Shari, said the selection of candidates was a matter for the top leadership to decide and any outside interference should be rejected. “PH is facing various tests and attacks. There should be no ‘outside party’ interfering in the party’s internal decision-making process, let alone when it comes to selection of candidates,” she told FMT. Juwairiya, who is also the Bukit Melawati assemblywoman, urged PH components, particularly PKR, to take action against supporters and members who undermine their party. - More -   Why probe when there’s no criminal element in audio clip, lawyer asks IGP Posted by: superadmin - 04-11-2021, 02:31 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The viral audio clip allegedly featuring opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim and Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is not a “seizable offence” and thus police have no power to investigate, a lawyer says. Sankara N Nair, a Kuala Lumpur-based lawyer, questioned whose decision it was to commence an investigation, as he claimed there was no legal basis for the probe. “There is one, and only one, provision as provided in Section 110 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC), which empowers the inspector-general of police to invoke his powers to commence a criminal investigation. “And this is upon police receiving a report that discloses a seizable offence,” he said in a statement. - More -   Ku Li reveals ongoing efforts to oust Zahid as Umno president Posted by: superadmin - 04-11-2021, 02:24 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR, April 11 — There are ongoing efforts to oust Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Umno's advisory board chairman Tan Sri Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah confirmed today. However, the Umno veteran said this is unsurprising and common for anyone holding the highest post in the Malay-centric party. “I have heard of such things, going on all the time. These are Malays. Whoever goes up must pull them down. I am not involved in such matters. If I wanted to fight, I’ll fight openly,” he was quoted as saying by Sinar Harian in an interview. However, the Gua Musang MP, commonly known as Ku Li, said ousting Zahid to enable Umno to return to the Perikatan Nasional fold will not succeed as the grassroots have made their intentions known. - More -   MP SPEAKS | Anwar Ibrahim deserves a chance to be PM Posted by: superadmin - 04-11-2021, 09:22 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies By Nga Kor Ming MP SPEAKS | At the just concluded Pakatan Harapan leadership retreat at Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan, yesterday, the coalition unanimously endorsed PKR president Anwar Ibrahim to be the prime minister candidate should Harapan win in the coming 15th general election (GE15). At the age of 74, this may be the last chance for Anwar to be prime minister and I sincerely believe he deserves a chance to prove himself after waiting for more than two decades since the reformasi movement started in 1998. The following are the reasons why I advocate for Anwar to be prime minister and I believe many Malaysians will share the same view after careful calculation of the imminent crisis our country is facing now. As a multiracial country, Malaysia was known to be a model example of how the country projected its image that promotes racial and religious harmony, not to mention Tourism Malaysia’s slogan “Malaysia truly Asia”. - More - Pages (1194): « Previous 1 … 1076 1077 1078 1079 1080 … 1194 Next » Jump to page:
