Dato’ Azman Mahmud Chief Executive Officer of MIDA Your Excellencies Ambassadors and High Commissioners, Members of the Media, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, salam sejahtera and good afternoon. 1. Welcome to the MIDA’s Annual Media Conference 2018. Thank you for joining us today. 2. We are honoured to have with us here, YB Dato’ Sri Mustapa Mohamed, who will shortly be announcing Malaysia’s full-year 2017 investment performance. 1 Ladies and Gentlemen, 3. Last year, the global economy proved fairly resilient in the face of challenges. Despite being affected by inward looking policies by major economies, the year turned out to be better than expected with these economies growing in sync for the first time since the global financial crisis in 2010. According to a new finding by Grant Thornton’s quarterly business survey, global business confidence improved at its highest ever level of 58% in Q4 2017. 4. This was also the case for Malaysia as our economy exceeded all expectations and recorded a strong growth of 5.9% as at the end of 2017.1 This performance is above the GDP registered in the preceding years of 4.2% and 5.0% in 2016 and 2015 respectively.

  • MCA No Match for Ram in Chinese-Majority Seat Malaysiakini.Com May 12, 2014
    MCA no match for Ram in Chinese-majority seat MalaysiaKini.com May 12, 2014 YOURSAY 'Ong Tee Keat, even most winnable candidate in MCA will lose in Bukit Gelugor’ Tee Keat: Is MCA bereft of winnable candidates? Dont Just Talk: After MCA vice-president Chew Mei Fun lost big in the Kajang by-election, the party has totally lost its confidence in nominating a candidate for the Bukit Gelugor seat, giving such a silly excuse as focusing on the hudud issue. Who are you trying to fool, MCA president Liow Tiong Lai, the hudud issue is not something new and former MCA president Chua Soi Lek was right when he labeled Liow as a weak leader. MCA has a pool of strong leaders who are good at bragging in front of the news media especially MCA Youth chief Chong Sin Woon. Let him stand against Ramkapal Singh of DAP to test his popularity amongst the Chinese voters. Never in the history of Malaysian politics did we dream that BN under Umno Baru would give a walkover to Pakatan. Surely the tides of change and the cry for ‘Ubah’ is near. Malaysia Truly Asia: Former MCA president Ong Tee Keat has been knocked out twice by his members and party. Now from the outside he can talk big, but he knows the score just like everyone here. The late Karpal Singh was very well liked, Penang belongs to the 'Tokong', and Karpal’s son is a shoo-in to win. MCA has taken the wise move of not contesting and living to fight another day.

    Akademika 81(1) 2011: 23-37 Framing of the 2008 Malaysian General Election Results by the English Language Press Pembingkaian Keputusan Pilihan Raya Umum Malaysia 2008 oleh Akhbar Bahasa Inggeris CHAI MING HOCK & ADNAN HUSSEIN ABSTRAK Keputusan Pilihan Raya Umum 2008 telah digelar sebagai ‘tsunami politik’ oleh pelbagai pihak. Dalam pilihan raya tersebut Barisan Nasional (BN) telah kehilangan majoriti simbolik dua-pertiga Parlimen. Dalam pada itu, parti-parti pembangkang secara kolektifnya berjaya mengawal dewan undangan negeri di lima buah negeri. Pada masa lalu, pilihan raya di Malaysia menjadi satu urusan yang terjangka dengan adanya capaian mudah BN kepada media, wang dan jentera kerajaan. Media cetak Malaysia memberi liputan positif dan menyeluruh kepada Barisan Nasional dalam tempoh sebelum hari mengundi. Bagaimana pula media cetak menjelaskan dan mentafsir keputusan pilihan raya yang tidak terjangka ini – teruk kepada BN mengikut piawaian politik Malaysia? Makalah ini membincangkan bagaimana media membingkaikan keputusan pilihan raya, faktor yang membawa kepada keputusan tersebut, serta mencari makna kepada persekitaran politik Malaysia. Kajian ini penting kerana media massa memainkan peranan penting dalam menentukan kerangka rujukan yang digunakan oleh pembaca untuk menafsirkan sesuatu kejadian atau isu. Makalah ini membincang pembingkaian keputusan Pilihan Raya Umum 2008 oleh akhbar bahasa Inggeris. Kutipan data melibatkan tiga akhbar bahasa Inggeris di Malaysia dengan analisis ke atas berita dan komentar, termasuk berita, rencana, lidah pengarang dan surat kepada editor dari hari mengundi pada 8hb Mac sehingga kepada hari pembentukan Kabinet baru Malaysia. Kata kunci: Malaysia, Pilihan Raya Umum, 2008, akhbar bahasa Inggeris, pembingkaian ABSTRACT Various observers heralded the 2008 Malaysian General Election as the ‘political tsunami’.
