COMPANY REPORTS Malaysia Daybreak | June 14, 2021 Global Economic News G7 leaders meeting in Britain will endorse U.S. President Joe Biden's proposal for global minimum tax of at least 15% on corporations, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Twitter on Friday. The U.S. Treasury in May proposed a global minimum corporate tax of at least 15% to try to end a downward spiral of corporate tax rates. "America is rallying the world to make big multinational corporations pay their fair share so we can invest in our middle class at home," Sullivan tweeted. (Reuters) Group of Seven leaders agreed to coordinate their response to the challenges posed by China "much much more closely", Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said after a summit in Britain. (Reuters) China's banking and insurance regulator issued rules on Tuesday on wealth management products for cash, tightening oversight of the $1tr market. China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission banned such products from investing in stocks and convertible bonds and said the leverage level of each product should not exceed 120% normally, according to a statement on the regulator's website. The regulator also asked commercial banks and wealth management companies to conduct stress tests on such products to make sure they could deal with urgent redemptions. (Reuters) Congestion at container shipping ports in southern China is worsening as authorities step up disinfection measures amid a flare-up in COVID-19 cases, causing the biggest backlog since at least 2019. More than 150 coronavirus cases have been reported in Guangdong province, a key manufacturing and exporting hub in southern China, since the latest wave of cases struck in late May, triggering local governments to step up prevention and control efforts that have curbed port processing capacity. (Reuters) Britain's recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic sped up in Apr as lockdown measures eased, with the fastest monthly growth since Jul leaving output a record 27.6% higher than a year earlier, when the virus was rampant and lockdown tightest. The figures on Friday from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed rapid growth in the services sector as non-essential retail and hospitality businesses opened their doors after months of closure and schools fully restarted. (Reuters) The Group of Seven biggest advanced economies is considering putting its support behind a $100bn reallocation of potential new International Monetary Fund reserves from richer nations to more vulnerable ones to aid their recovery from the pandemic. The global effort would address health needs including vaccinations as well as help enable greener, more robust economic recoveries, the White House said in a fact sheet Friday. The G-7 leaders’ communique will have more details, it said. Talks begin Friday at the summit in Cornwall, southwestern England. (Bloomberg) British Prime Minister Boris Johnson expects the Group of Seven to agree to donate 1bn COVID-19 vaccine doses to poorer countries during its summit starting on Friday, and help inoculate the world by the end of next year. Just hours after U.S. President Joe Biden vowed to supercharge the battle against the coronavirus with a donation of 500mn Pfizer shots, Johnson said Britain would give at least 100mn surplus vaccines to the poorest nations. (Reuters) The Group of Seven richest democracies on Saturday sought to counter China's growing influence by offering developing nations an infrastructure plan that would rival President Xi Jinping's multi-trillion-dollar Belt and Road initiative. The G7, whose leaders are meeting in southwestern England 2 Malaysia Daybreak | June 14, 2021 and who discussed strategic competition with Beijing, has been searching for a coherent response to the growing assertiveness of Xi after China's surging economic and military rise over the past 40 years. (Reuters) Malaysia Economic News The full Movement Control Order (MCO 3.0) is extended for another two weeks from 15 to 28 Jun, said Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob. This followed a recommendation by the Ministry of Health during the National Security Council special meeting today, which was chaired by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. "The decision was made after taking into account high daily new Covid-19 cases at above 5,000 cases, with average daily new cases of 6,871 as of yesterday," Ismail said in a statement. (The Edge Markets) Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) has called on the government to set up a national vaccine research centre, employing local experts and resources to ensure a long-term vaccine supply for the country. (Bernama) The Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) is calling on the government to pump-prime the economy with a RM200bn stimulus package and a RM30bn direct fiscal injection, following the extension of the movement control order (MCO) 3.0, which it warned will have a devastating impact on small and medium enterprise (SME) manufacturers that are just starting to show signs of recovery following the pandemic and previous MCOs. (The Edge Markets) The government, through the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP), will conduct a study to set a ceiling price for 5kg bottled cooking oil based on current market prices. Deputy Minister Datuk Rosol Wahid said his team will also discuss the recommended ceiling price with both the Ministry of Plantation Industries and Commodities and the Ministry of Finance (MoF).

Umum mengetahui saya menerima kerajaan ini dalam keadaan seadanya. Justeru, pembentukan Kabinet ini merupakan satu formulasi semula berdasarkan situasi semasa, demi mengekalkan kestabilan dan meletakkan kepentingan serta keselamatan Keluarga Malaysia lebih daripada segala-galanya. 4.

  • Pakatan Malaysiakini.Com October 04,2011 Sekumpulan Guru Telah
    Guru didakwa dipaksa hadiri seminar 'belasah' Pakatan Malaysiakini.com October 04,2011 Sekumpulan guru telah dipaksa menghadiri seminar wajip Kementerian Pelajaran yang dijadikan medan ‘membelasah’ pembangkang, dakwa Ketua Pemuda PAS, Nasrudin Hassan. Seminar Pemantapan Warga Pendidikan Negeri Pahang ( zon timur ) Program Pengurusan Pementoran Perkhidmatan Awam Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia itu diadakan pada 28 September lalu untuk guru-guru di wilayah pantai timur. Ucapan dasar disampaikan oleh Timbalan Menteri Pelajaran Datuk Mohd Puad Zarkashi. “Malangnya seminar ini telah bertukar menjadi seminar Umno untuk membelasah PAS, PKR dan DAP di samping menggesa agar para guru memberi sokongan kepada Umno pada pilihan raya umum yang akan datang,” kata Nasrudin dalam satu kenyataan media hari ini. NONE“Semua guru diminta mengenal pasti guru-guru lain yang disyaki menyokong pembangkang agar dipengaruh sehingga mereka menyokong Umno. Seminar ini tidak ubah sebagai Bengkel Strategi Umno menghadapi pilihanraya umum.” Nasrudin juga mendakwa bahawa guru-guru dan pengetua khususnya diminta berkempen untuk Umno dan dijanjikan pembiayaan lumayan yang diistilahkan sebagai "wang dari langit" bagi memastikan tugasan mereka berjalan lancar. Nasrudin juga menghasilkan bukti-bukti fotografi bagi menyokong dakwaannya. “(Penganjur) seminar ini turut membekalkan risalah bersiri yang sarat dengan kecaman dan fitnah ke atas PAS dan Pakatan Rakyat di samping buku dan vcd turut disertakan dalam fail bercetak (dari) Institut Aminudin Baki Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia. “Dewan Pemuda PAS melihat tindakan ini bukan sahaja tidak profesional dan menyalahgunakan kuasa tetapi sungguh memalukan (kerana) kementerian tersebut bertindak sedemikian bodoh, membohongi warga cerdik untuk kepentingan Umno yang jelas terdesak untuk meraih sokongan dari kalangan warga pendidik,” katanya. Sehubungan itu, menurut Nasrudin, memberi amaran kepada Umno untuk berhenti menyalahgunakan jentera kerajaan untuk kempen politik pada seminar seterusnya yang akan diadakan di Kuantan, Pahang, pada Khamis ini.

  • Hadi Continues to Play 'Wait and See' on PM No-Confidence Vote
    Hadi continues to play ‘wait and see’ on PM no-confidence vote MalaysiaKini.com Oct 18 th , 2015 Zulaikha Zulkifli PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang has remained ambivalent about PAS’ position on the motion of no confidence against Prime Minister Najib Razak in the parliamentary sitting starting Monday. Abdul Hadi, who is Marang MP, said PAS prefers to play “wait and see” and weigh the merits of the motion in the event it is tabled. "We will see first. Wait and see what is the merits of the (vote of confidence)," he told reporters at a press conference after the party’s Himpunan Fastaqim (H60K) programme at Stadium Sultan Muhammad IV in Kota Baru, Kelantan last night When pressed for his comment whether the no-confidence motion is justified, Abdul Hadi remained non-committal. "We will see its merits (when the time comes)," he told reporters. However earlier during the event, Kota Baru MP Takiyuddin Hassan tentatively said PAS would support the motion. “We will wait and see. A vote of no-confidence is part of the procedures in Parliament and we will support the no-confidence vote,” he said. Yesterday it was reported PKR's Petaling Jaya Selatan MP Hee Loy Sian (left) has submitted a notice for the tabling of the motion of no confidence against Najib, and is presently on the Parliament order paper for Monday. However it remains to be seen if the motion would be heard during the sitting as it is listed second last on the order paper, and may face the similar experience of Hadi’s own private member’s bill on hudud, which has been skipped over in the last two parliamentary sittings.
