  Rais under attack after ‘speaking for EC’
Posted by: superadmin - 03-11-2021, 03:14 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

PETALING JAYA: Dewan Negara president Rais Yatim has no right to issue statements on behalf of the Election Commission (EC) over the decision to lower the age of voting to 18 and it is shocking and premature of him to do so, a PKR leader and PPBM Youth said.

PKR deputy information chief G Manivannan said Rais should not be pre-empting the EC, even if it was facing technical problems.
“For a person who is not within the circles of the EC to make such a statement creates uneasiness.

“If there are any prevailing issues, EC should be highlighting the issues, not Rais,” the lawyer said in a statement, adding that the separation of powers had to be respected.

Bumble on Wednesday logged $165.6 million in revenue, topping Wall Street forecasts, and nearly broke even in its first quarterly report since going public in February. The stock rose more than 6% in extended trading.


The company behind popular dating apps Bumble and Badoo posted strong growth in revenue and subscribers, boosted by a global pandemic that drove daters online.

Here’s what the company reported for its fourth quarter, compared with what Wall Street analysts polled by Refinitiv were expecting:

  Brazil plunges into crisis as a second wave and deadly new variant overwhelm hospital
Posted by: superadmin - 03-11-2021, 02:52 PM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies


(CNN)A second wave of Covid-19 is ripping through Brazil, pushing hospitals and ICUs toward collapse and claiming record numbers of daily deaths.

While a new variant of the coronavirus spreads throughout the country, many Brazilians continue to defy mask mandates mobility restrictions following the example of President Jair Bolsonaro, who recently said people need to "stop being sissies" and "whining" about the virus.

The consequences of that combination are deahttps://cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/210310165338-02-brazil-covid-icus-intl-exlarge-169.jpgdly, experts say. "We are going through the worst-case scenario since the beginning of the pandemic. You just have to look at the trends in the average number of deaths," Gonzalo Vecina Neto, a Sao Paulo University professor of Public Health, recently told Reuters television. "This could have been avoided and the most important factor is gatherings."

Brazil has broken its own record three times this month for number of deaths in a 24-hour period. On Wednesday, Brazil's Health Ministry registered a devastating new high -- 2,286 lives lost to the virus. In total, more than 270,000 people are known to have died due to Covid-19, making Brazil's the second-highest national death toll after the United States.

A woman crashed her car into a freezing river. A FedEx driver saw it happen and saved her

[Image: 210310165322-car-into-truckee-river-exlarge-169.jpg]

(CNN)A FedEx Express driver is being hailed a hero by police after he jumped into freezing water to save a woman who had crashed her car.

Brandon Alt said he was just getting started on his delivery route that goes through Truckee, California, on Monday, when the car in front of him veered off the road and into the river below.

"As I was following her she was weaving in and out of the lane," Alt, 34, told CNN on Wednesday. "She almost hit two vehicles that were coming in the opposite direction."

They were traveling on River Road, a winding road that offers a scenic view of the area with the Truckee River on one side. The river is an outlet of Lake Tahoe and flows more than 120 miles crossing into Nevada.

"One wrong move and there's not much separating between the roadway and river," California Highway Patrol Officer Jacob Williams told CNN.

The driver of the car was distracted by her phone, according to police. She told them she was going to call a family member to sing "Happy Birthday."

"By the time she looked up she was heading into the river," said Williams.

  Probe Hadi over preconceived plan to create political instability, says MP
Posted by: superadmin - 03-11-2021, 11:37 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

[Image: charles-santiago-hadi-awang.jpg]

PETALING JAYA: A DAP MP has urged the police to probe Abdul Hadi Awang over a preconceived plan to create political instability, after the PAS president said the plot to topple the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government had started ever since it won the last elections.

Klang MP Charles Santiago said police were usually quick to investigate any alleged attempt to create political instability, although he did not see the same zeal in probing Hadi over his comments.

Santiago said the change in government in late February last year had led to the stock market going down, investors staying away and the people’s vote being nullified due to the “coup”.

“So why wasn’t Hadi, who seems to know more, called in for questioning?” he asked in a statement today.

  Sarawak DCM: PAS, Umno’s demand for Putrajaya to appeal ‘Allah’ decision ridiculous
Posted by: superadmin - 03-11-2021, 11:29 AM - Forum: Local News - No Replies

[Image: james_masing_20201122.jpg]

KUCHING, March 11 — Sarawak Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri James Masing today criticised Umno and PAS for urging the government to appeal the decision by the High Court to allow a judicial review by a Sarawakian Christian to use “Allah” in her religious education.

Masing branded the demand as ridiculous, especially by any political party in a multi-religious and multi-racial country like Malaysia.

“It is my hope that we should allow men of religion and court to decide on religious issues and not politicians,” Masing who is also Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) president told Malay Mail said when asked to respond to the statement issued by Muafakat Nasional (MN).

He reminded the two parties that demanding the federal government to go against the court’s judgment is tantamount to seeking a review of Article 11 of the Federal Constitution that allows for freedom of religion in the country.

  When will Proton make an electric car?
Posted by: superadmin - 03-11-2021, 10:02 AM - Forum: Business. Economy and Investment - No Replies

[Image: k-kathirgugan-columnist-latest-040121.jpg]

Earlier this month, Proton posted its best monthly sales figure in seven years, delivering 11,873 cars in February, and capturing more than a quarter of the Malaysian automotive market share.

This is welcome news as our national car brand had been plagued with problems since its inception. Most who purchased a Proton did so just because it, along with Perodua, offered the most affordable cars in the market.

But with its recent acquisition by Chinese auto giant Geely, the tide seems to be turning. Both the Proton X50 and X70 were unveiled amidst much hoopla and surprisingly enough, they managed to justify it, thrilling and satisfying customers.


I can’t remember a time when a Proton product was lusted over by thousands across the nation. Sure, the X50 and X70 are essentially just rebranded Geely Binyue and Geely Boyue, respectively, but they’re still a welcome addition to the Proton stable, which has needed a shot in the arm (or several), for a while now.

This makes me ask the question that’s been on the minds of some since Geely’s acquisition of Proton: When will it start making electric cars?

It’s a natural next step.

Retrenched because of Covid-19, ex-hotel workers in Penang provide delicious packed meals at W. Kitchen

[Image: Wkitchen4_05032021.JPG]

GEORGE TOWN, March 11 — When The Northam All Suite Hotel closed its doors last June for a massive two-year renovation, most of its employees were laid off.

Wang Chen Yee, 54, who was the general manager, decided to start a small food business and roped in some of the former hotel employees.

“We were retrenched so I was thinking of what to do next and I wanted to do something to help those who are talented but with nowhere to go,” he said.

This saw the birth of W. Kitchen in late June, a catering and lunch box business located in a shophouse at Arratoon Road in George Town.

  YOURSAY | Voters awaiting election showdown with party-hoppers

Korkor: Who is Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin to giant-slayer Permatang Pauh MP Nurul Izzah Anwar? 

Remember she slew the rich ex-minister Raja Nong Chik Zainal Abidin in Lembah Pantai and ended his political career? Zuraida’s political career’s end was signed and sealed the moment she party-hopped.

As a voter in the Ampang parliamentary constituency and the Bukit Antarabangsa state constituency, this will be the best present for us after having been betrayed by these two turncoats, Zuraida and International Trade and Industry Minister Mohamed Azmin Ali.

We will come out in force to assist in the campaigning and will also ensure that voters will turn out to vote for Nurul if she is fielded here. Calling all Ampang voters!

  Nothing is impossible, Ku Li says of Umno and Pakatan pact
Posted by: superadmin - 03-10-2021, 08:22 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

KUALA LUMPUR, March 10 — The idea of Umno forming a pact with Pakatan Harapan (PH) for the next general election (GE15) is not impossible, veteran Umno politician Tan Sri Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah said.

Fondly known as Ku Li, the Umno advisory board chairman however said only God will know if the pact could deliver victory.

“How would I know (if Umno working with PH can win the general election)?

“Only God will know. Nothing is impossible if God wants us to win, but there are many things which must be on the ‘menu’ when we face GE15,” he said today during an interview with The Malaysian Insight broadcasted on Facebook.
