If you want shariah, give Sabah and Sarawak autonomy, Upko tells Umno Posted by: superadmin - 03-29-2021, 06:45 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: If Umno wants to amend the constitution to expand shariah law, it must first give Sabah and Sarawak greater autonomy so the states can be kept free of religious influence, the United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation (Upko) says. Responding to Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s vow to “empower” shariah law should they achieve a two-thirds parliamentary majority at the next election, Upko said this vision runs counter to the guarantee of religious freedom upon which Malaysia was formed. “The commitment for a secular and liberal society is reflected in the Malaysia Agreement 1963 and enshrined in the Federal Constitution, which all Malaysian parliamentarians have sworn to uphold,” Upko said in a statement. It said that those instrumental in the formation of Sabah and Sarawak, who came from various religious backgrounds, would have rejected the formation of Malaysia had they known “their countries would become part of an Islamic federation where personal sins would be slapped with heavy shariah punishments.” - More -   Implement Undi18 by July, NGOs tell govt Posted by: superadmin - 03-29-2021, 06:38 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PUTRAJAYA: A coalition of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) has sent a memorandum to the government urging it to expedite the implementation of Undi18 and automatic registration of 18-year-olds as voters. The coalition handed the memorandum to the Election Commission today asking that the policy be implemented by July. “We are wondering whether the government is serious about implementing Undi18. Parliament passed the Bill in 2019 before the implementation of the movement control order,” Gerakan Belia 4B acting president Fahami Ashrof Badaruddin said after the memorandum was handed over to the EC. Keilmuan Nasional chairman Zambri Mohd Isa said the implementation of Undi18 should not be delayed to protect the rights of about 1.2 million young voters. - More -   Just resign, PPBM man tells ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ Umno ministers Posted by: superadmin - 03-29-2021, 02:42 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: A senior PPBM leader has launched a scathing attack on some of his Cabinet colleagues from Umno, describing them as warlords who were no better than “Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde”. However, special functions minister Redzuan Yusof stopped short of naming the ministers he likened to the two-faced character in Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel, saying it was clear who they were from their speeches at the weekend’s Umno annual general assembly. “These ministers behave one way in front of (Prime Minister) Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, but when they are among their own party members, they behave very differently. “To me, these ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ ministers can leave. If you do not want to be part of the government, don’t be,” he told FMT. - More -   The BEST of LEE ZII JIA | YONEX All England 2021 Posted by: superadmin - 03-29-2021, 11:15 AM - Forum: Badminton - No Replies   Backhand Smash - Lee Zii jia Posted by: superadmin - 03-29-2021, 11:08 AM - Forum: Badminton - No Replies   Ex-Miti deputy minister outlines 3 ways to attract FDI Posted by: superadmin - 03-29-2021, 10:41 AM - Forum: Business. Economy and Investment - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Former deputy international trade and industry minister Ong Kian Ming has given the government three simple ways to make Malaysia attractive for foreign direct investment (FDI) again. He said government agencies’ guidelines and goals for attracting investment needed to be continuously overhauled, pointing out that its definition of “strategic investment” was often outdated. In a statement today, the Bangi MP also said there might not be clear enough guidelines for major manufacturing investments from the likes of China in sectors like steel, glass and even paper. “What is the expected key performance index (KPI)? What is the expected impact on local industries and what are the environmental standards which need to be adhered to? - More -   Guan Eng slams PN for creating ‘a state of permanent crisis’ Posted by: superadmin - 03-29-2021, 10:16 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Perikatan Nasional was accused today of being “in a state of permanent crisis” and Malaysia “in a permanent state of political crisis” as a result of being run by a minority government. DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng, making the accusation, said the open split between Umno and PPBM, both partners in the PN government, showed that prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin had lost his parliamentary majority. He said Malaysia was in a permanent state of political crisis for being in the hands of a minority government. The loss of Muhyiddin’s majority had come despite PN having engineered defections of MPs from PKR, he said. - More -   Using ECRL to swing voter support for MCA, MIC? Posted by: superadmin - 03-29-2021, 10:12 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Apparently, the Selangor state executive council has rejected the transport ministry’s proposal for the East Coast Rail Link to traverse a northern Selangor alignment. The proposed route would have involved massive land acquisition in Selangor. Therefore, the state Exco’s approval was required. At the centre of the ministry’s application is their preferred alignment for Section C of the ECRL. The route reads like this: Mentakab – Bentong – Janda Baik – Gombak – Rawang (Serendah) – Kapar – Port Klang – North port – West port. From Gombak, the alignment is planned to go back up north, passing through Selayang north-west to Serendah, before making a south westward journey towards Batu Arang, Kapar, Meru and Port Klang. Eventually, it would connect to North port after which it terminates at West port. It all sounds very complicated, right? Political ploy Yes, indeed, as the zig-zag alignment in the northern part of Selangor was coined by none other than the sole MCA minister in the cabinet (Wee Ka Siong) who is also the transport minister. At first glance, this alignment appears fairly innocent. But according to a few political analysts in Selangor, the alignment will have effect on at least five parliamentary seats in Selangor, not to mention many state seats too. Those seats are: Hulu Selangor (P94), Gombak (P98), Kapar (P109), Selayang (P97), and Klang (P110) as well as several state seats within those parliamentary constituencies. The parliamentary seat of Bentong (P89) will be the main target and so will be the four state seats of Bilut (N33), Ketari (N34), Sabai (N35) and Pelagai (N36) within that constituency. In this dubious plan, Gombak will be turned into the central ECRL station to serve Kuala Lumpur passenger traffic. A local political pundit was quick to point out that it was not only a poor decision, as the northern alignment will cost a lot more, but it was also a crafted and calculated proposal to serve the hidden political agenda. - More -   Bentong MP makes poor showing at Pahang DAP polls Posted by: superadmin - 03-29-2021, 10:01 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies BENTONG: Veteran DAP leader Leong Ngah Ngah has retained his position as Pahang DAP chief for a third three-year term. The committee election which took place at the Pahang DAP state convention today also saw all seven DAP state assemblymen and two members of Parliament retaining their positions in the state leadership. Bentong MP Wong Tack was among the five committee members appointed. He had obtained only 108 votes to finish in 16th position among the 34 candidates contesting. The four other committee members appointed were Tanah Rata assemblyman Chiong Yoke Kong, Go Mong Nging, Chok Chuan Jun and Chiang Mei Soon. - More -   Umno-PAS dream romance heading for the rocks? Posted by: superadmin - 03-29-2021, 09:55 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The union of Islamic party PAS and Umno two years ago was a political romance that warmed the hearts of many Malays unhappy with the then ruling Pakatan Harapan coalition. The alliance of the two parties in Muafakat Nasional gave birth to the idea of uniting the Malay community under a Malay-run government. But the courtship came with much baggage. Since the 1950s, both parties have been fighting for the attention of the same group of voters, with one claiming to be more Islamic than the other. The rivalry intensified when Umno successfully wooed three PAS Terengganu state assemblymen to switch sides in 1961, causing PAS to lose control of the state government. Since then, several MPs from PAS had jumped ship to Umno, and both parties remained wary of one another, said political analyst Kamarul Zaman Yusoff of Universiti Utara Malaysia. However, all was forgiven with the formation of Muafakat Nasional in September 2019, an idea strongly supported by party leaders and grassroots. “It was seen as a fresh start,” he told FMT. But the relationship became rocky again after PAS started working closely with ruling Perikatan Nasional. “The current issue is that Umno does not like the fact of PAS joining PN. Umno wants PAS to be with them, as Umno has bad blood with PPBM,” he said. - More - Pages (1189): « Previous 1 … 1086 1087 1088 1089 1090 … 1189 Next » Jump to page:
