  • Keynote Address by Yb Dato' Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali
    KEYNOTE ADDRESS BY YB DATO’ SERI MOHAMED AZMIN ALI SENIOR MINISTER MINISTER OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE AND INDUSTRY ON MALAYSIA AND TRADE REFORMS IN UNCERTAIN TIMES IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE 27TH PACIFIC ECONOMIC COOPERATION COUNCIL (PECC) GENERAL MEETING AND PUBLIC FORUM 15 DECEMBER 2020 (TUESDAY) KUALA LUMPUR [Recording session on 10 December 2020 (Thursday), 4.00 pm at YBMK’s office] Distinguished guests, Ladies and gentlemen. 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.

  • Anwar Downplays Hudud Row in Pakatan Malaysiakini.Com May 1, 2014
    Anwar downplays hudud row in Pakatan MalaysiaKini.com May 1, 2014 PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim has downplayed the latest round of wrangling between PAS and DAP over the hudud issue. He told Malaysiakini that the two parties have their differences over the issue for some time, but remain on the same page when it comes to issues of governance. “So I think let them continue having this engagement and discussion. We have had a long session yesterday (Tuesday) on this issue,” he said yesterday. He added that the discussion among the three parties in the opposition coalition was cordial despite disagreements. Anwar was responding to a question whether Pakatan Rakyat is in danger of falling apart with the latest dustup over hudud, which includes punishments such as amputations for theft and stoning for adultery. Early last month, Kelantan Menteri Besar Ahmad Yaakob said PAS is prepared to table a private member’s bill with the necessary amendments to allow the state to implement its Syariah Criminal Code II Enactment 1993. The enactment has been in place since the 1990s, but could not be implemented under existing federal laws. Since mooting the private member’s bill in Parliament, DAP leaders have vocally opposed the idea and vowed to vote against it. In the latest of these disagreements, DAP acting chairperson Tan Kok Wai warned PAS that it has no place in the Pakatan coalition if the party is adamant in pushing for the controversial law. When asked on how PKR would vote on the bill, Anwar replied, “The issue of how it will be tabled, (and) when it will be tabled, has not been resolved.
