INTRODUCTION Ladies and Gentlemen, 1. It is indeed a great pleasure for me to be with all of you in this significant event. As we all know, Malaysian Chinese Women Entrepreneurs Foundation is a non-profit and non-governmental organization established on 6 July 2011. The Foundation was officially launched at the Klang Hokkien Association by our Honourable Prime Minister YAB Dato’Sri Najib Razak, and it is now into its 5th year. 2. The Founder, Tan Sri SP Lim once told me that many women, especially single mothers, want to start-up small businesses that can help the family with extra income and at the same time allowing them to spend time and take care of their children. But many of them live in remote villages, with limited education and no access to business opportunities and network. They have no collateral to raise the start-up 1 capital. They yearn for city life, and they want to run their own businesses. Their maternal instinct gives them a strong sense of responsibility with the hope to create a more comfortable living environment for their children. 3. Tan Sri SP Lim has relentlessly persuaded the Ministry of Finance and the Prime Minister’s Department to provide a grant from which loans can be given to these category of women.

Earlier today two parties quit a parliamentary coalition, a move that opened the way for a new election to clear what a politician called "Moscow agents" from the chamber, a decision welcomed by President Petro Poroshenko. Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk's resignation could leave a hole at the heart of decision-making when Ukraine is struggling to fund a war with pro-Russian rebels in its east and dealing with the aftermath of a plane crash that killed 298 people. The usually mild-mannered Yatseniuk bellowed at politicians who had failed to pass a law to allow a liberalisation of control over Ukraine's pipeline system. He said Ukraine's politicians were at risk of losing the hearts and minds of the thousands who protested for months in the "Maidan" protests in favour of joining Europe and against a pro-Moscow president.

  • Najib Inaugurates Court to Handle Child Sexual Crimes Last Update
    Najib Inaugurates Court To Handle Child Sexual Crimes Last update: 22/06/2017 PUTRAJAYA, June 22 (Bernama) --Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak today inaugurated a special court to handle sexual crimes against children, the first such court in Southeast Asia. The existence of the court would help expedite cases related to sexual crimes against children, he said at the inauguration at the Palace of Justice here. He said the court would focus on cases such as pornography, child grooming and child sexual assault in accordance with the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017 which would be enforced soon, and the first case was expected to be heard by the court on July 4. Najib suggested that special Standard Operating Procedures be drawn up soon to handle cases of sexual offences against children. "The special guidelines to be developed should meet the needs and requirements of child witnesses and be in accordance with the best practices in other countries," he said. Najib's wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, who is patron of the Permata Programmes; Chief Justice Tan Sri Md Raus Sharif; Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Rohani Abdul Karim and Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said were also present at the event. The Prime Minister said a working committee comprising the courts, the Attorney General's Chambers, the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry and several NGOs for children as well as UNICEF should be set up to draw up the special guidelines. He expressed the hope that the existence of the court would help expedite cases of sexual crimes against children, perhaps resolving them in less than a year instead of several years as was the case now.
