The NEC will also be supported by a special high-level task force to be chaired by the Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali, it said. Mohd Zuki will coordinate five special task forces, namely on National Education; Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), Human Resources and Entrepreneurship, Real Economy, and Deeptech and Future Skills. “These five task forces will be reporting the status of the implementation of the programmes under their respective clusters to the high-level task force on monthly basis. “The Finance Ministry’s Economic Stimulus Implementation and Coordination Unit Between National Agencies (LAKSANA) will act as the NEC Secretariat and monitor the development of each programme under the NEC initiative to ensure that they will be more effective based on appropriate assessments from time to time,” it said. In this regard, the statement said Malaysian citizens who are affected or looking for a job can register on the MyFutureJobs portal at https://www.myfuturejobs.gov.my/ which is a one-stop centre and main reference for employment-related initiatives including skill improvement and retraining programmes.

Good morning, good afternoon and good evening to all participants. 1. First and foremost, I would like to congratulate the Malaysia National Committee for Pacific Economic Cooperation (MANCPEC), as well as the Institute of Strategic and International Studies (ISIS) Malaysia for hosting today’s PECC Standing Committee Meeting and Public Forum. 2. On behalf of Malaysia, I would like to extend a very warm welcome to the distinguished members of the PECC, honoured speakers, youth delegates and participants from all over the world. I thank you all for joining us today. 3. With COVID-19 still hovering over us with its menacing presence, and gnawing at our sides, there is no gainsaying that this forum acquires added significance as well as urgency. Since the WHO first declared it as a pandemic in March 2020, innumerable stakeholder engagements have been convened, underscoring the severity and gravity of the impact of the pandemic across all strata of society. 2 4. In our efforts to combat this crisis and to flatten the curve, a tsunami of unintended economic consequences was unleashed setting forth a massive global economic downturn. For the APEC region, economic growth is now expected to decline by 2.5 per cent for 2020, bringing total output losses to a staggering USD1.8 trillion.

  • How the Pandemic Is Keeping Malaysia's Politics Messy
    How the Pandemic Is Keeping Malaysia’s Politics Messy Malaysia’s first transfer of power in six decades was hailed as a milestone for transparency, free speech and racial tolerance in the multiethnic Southeast Asian country. But the new coalition collapsed amid an all-too-familiar mix of political intrigue and horse trading. Elements of the old regime were brought into a new government that also proved short-lived. The turmoil stems in part from an entrenched system of affirmative-action policies that critics say fosters cronyism and identity-based politics, while a state of emergency declared due to the coronavirus pandemic has hampered plans for fresh elections. 1. How did this start? Two veteran politicians, Mahathir Mohamad and Anwar Ibrahim, won a surprising election victory in 2018 that ousted then-Prime Minister Najib Razak, who was enmeshed in a massive money-laundering scandal linked to the state investment firm 1MDB. Mahathir, 96, became prime minister again (he had held the post from 1981 to 2003), with the understanding that he would hand over to Anwar at some point. Delays in setting a date and policy disputes led to tensions that boiled over in 2020. Mahathir stepped down and sought to strengthen his hand by forming a unity government outside party politics. But the king pre-empted his efforts by naming Mahathir’s erstwhile right-hand man, Muhyiddin Yassin, as prime minister, the eighth since Malaysia’s independence from the U.K. in 1957. Mahathir formed a new party to take on the government but failed to get it registered.

  • Guan Eng Labels Muhyiddin a 'Coward' for Attacking His Son the Malaysian Insider October 23, 2011 by Yow Hong Chieh KUALA LU
    Guan Eng labels Muhyiddin a ‘coward’ for attacking his son The Malaysian Insider October 23, 2011 By Yow Hong Chieh KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 23 — Lim Guan Eng has called Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin a “coward” for repeating claims by pro-Umno bloggers that his son had molested a schoolmate. The Penang chief minister said he was “appalled and disgusted” that Muhyiddin had attacked his son for political mileage and told the Umno number two to focus efforts on him instead. “If Muhyiddin hates me so much, he can do his worst to finish me off politically,” he said in a statement. “But Muhyiddin should not join the craven pack of cowards to pick on my 16-year old son and put my son again through this traumatic experience.” Lim (picture) said Muhyiddin had failed the moral and ethical test to be prime minister by repeating “lies” about a teenager who could not defend himself, even after the alleged victim had come forward to deny the claims. He added that the deputy prime minister risked losing the respect of the public if he continued to repeat the allegations. “Muhyiddin loses the respect of decent Malaysians if he behaves in the same arrogant manner as those ferocious Umno beasts who know only how to bully my 16-year old son and feast on a child’s innocence,” he said. Pro-Umno bloggers had claimed that Lim’s son had assaulted a 16-year-old schoolmate and tried to escape punishment by using his father’s name. Lim, who is also DAP secretary-general, denied the allegations, saying he was furious with the “barbaric lies” made about his teenage son by “pro-Umno ferocious beasts”.

  • Workplace Clusters Record Highest Covid-19 Cases, Says Minister
    Workplace clusters record highest Covid-19 cases, says Minister KUALA LUMPUR, July 27 — Covid-19 clusters involving the workplace which stood at 735 clusters, have recorded the highest number of cases at 60,000 cases from June 1 to July 23, said National Recovery Plan (NRP) Coordinating Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz. The finance minister said of the total clusters, 373 or 50.7 per cent involved the manufacturing sub-category with 35,642 cases reported. “This is higher than the number of clusters in other categories throughout the same period,” he said in reply to questions raised regarding the NRP in Dewan Rakyat here yesterday. Tengku Zafrul said cluster categories were used to identify locations or localities so that targeted actions to control and prevent the spread of Covid-19 infection could be implemented effectively by the Health Ministry (MOH) in collaboration with the relevant authorities. Shah Alam MP Khalid Abd Samad raised questions regarding International Trade and Industry Ministry’s action that allowed factories to open without control, which he claimed had led to the rise in Covid-19 cases in the country. Its Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali responded to the allegations saying the decision to allow factories to operate was made collectively in the National Security Council (NSC) meeting, adding that the ministry’s role was only to coordinate so that authorised parties could operate in compliance with the standard operating procedures (SOPs) set. Mohamed Azmin also showed a placard of data from the National Crisis Preparedness and Response Centre (CPRC) and the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) that indicated only 8.8 per cent of new Covid-19 cases were recorded in the manufacturing sector out of 408,134 cases nationwide between June 1 and July 23.
