Penasihat sosio budaya perdana menteri, Tan Sri Dr Rais Yatim berkata seharusnya perlu ada penapisan sebelum sesuatu istilah diterima pakai sebagai perkataan yang digunakan secara am. Beliau berkata hasil penelitian dan penyelidikannya, terdapat banyak istilah bahasa Inggeris yang diterjemah ke bahasa Melayu dalam kamus melalui proses pinjaman. "Saya menyeru agar tolong buat penyelidikan yang lebih mendalam agar kita terselamat daripada dilihat sebagai bahasa tersandar kepada sistem meniru dalam istilah yang kebanyakannya terdapat dalam bahasa kita sendiri," katanya kepada pemberita selepas melancarkan 15 buku Akal Budi Seni yang diterbitkan Akademi Seni Budaya dan Warisan Kebangsaan (Aswara) di sini semalam. Rais berkata sekiranya perkara itu terus dibiarkan, beliau bimbang istilah tradisional Melayu akan lenyap ditelan zaman. Beliau berkata beliau telah menulis surat kepada DBP mengenai perkara itu dan berharap mereka dapat membendungnya daripada terus berlarutan. Beliau juga berharap para pemimpin mengambil berat tentang bahasa Melayu dan menggunakannya sebaik mungkin. — Bernama  |
| Mourinho vs Wenger — The rivalry in quotes Posted: 17 Nov 2016 06:00 PM PST
"Wenger has a real problem with us and I think he is what you call in England a voyeur. He is someone who likes to watch other people. There are some guys who, when they are at home, have a big telescope to see what happens in other families. Wenger must be one of them — it is a sickness. He speaks, speaks, speaks about Chelsea." — Mourinho takes exception to Wenger's comments about his then-club Chelsea in August 2005, in remarks for which he would later apologise "He's out of order, disconnected with reality and disrespectful. When you give success to stupid people, it makes them more stupid sometimes and not more intelligent." — Wenger's stinging response "It is fear to fail." — Wenger's verdict on Mourinho's unwillingness to talk up Chelsea's title chances in February 2014 "Am I afraid of failure? He is a specialist in failure. I'm not. So if one supposes he's right and I'm afraid of failure, it's because I don't fail many times. So maybe he's right. I'm not used to failing. But the reality is he's a specialist because, eight years without a piece of silverware, that's failure." — Mourinho responds with interest "It's not a way to behave on a football field. Did Mourinho provoke me? That is how I felt. I did not enter Chelsea's technical area." — Wenger's account of a touchline altercation between the pair during Arsenal's 2-0 defeat at Chelsea in October 2014 "If it was me it would have been a stadium ban." — Mourinho's take on Wenger's shove "In this country, only one manager is not under pressure. Every other manager is. You know who. The one who can speak about the referees before the game, after the game, can push people in the technical area, can moan, can cry in the morning, in the afternoon, nothing happens. He can not achieve, keep his job, still be the king. In the rule book it says some managers can speak about the referees before and after games. Some others cannot. I am in the list of those who are punished if they speak about the referees." — As Chelsea's title defence started to unspool last season, Mourinho lashed out at a familiar adversary. — AFP |
| At AGM, interfaith group urges Malaysians to fight ‘cancerous’ corruption Posted: 17 Nov 2016 05:57 PM PST
The Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hindusim, Sikhism and Taoism (MCCBHCST) deputy president Datuk R. S. Mohan Shah said the anti-corruption resolution was passed at the group's 34th annual general meeting (AGM) last night. "And we have taken a position on corruption. It's the same decision for the last four years. We want corruption to be reduced in Malaysia, to be looked into very seriously," he told Malay Mail Online when contacted yesterday. "Reason is because you see we can see a lot of corruption cases like what happened in Sabah and we see all religions object to corruption, so that's why we look at it very seriously," he added. Mohan was referring to the recent scandal related to the Sabah state water department involving alleged kickbacks from RM3.3 billion worth of contracts, where the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) made its biggest seizure in history with RM52 million in cash part of the confiscated assets. According to the resolution that was passed last night, the interfaith group noted that the situation of corruption and crime in Malaysia had "deteriorated at an alarming rate". "MCCBCHST hereby resolves that it will continuously urge its faithful and all citizens who cherish a better quality of life to take a more active role in combating these cancerous trends," it said. "MCCBCHST further resolves that it will urge the government in power to show more visible and tangible results in these areas so that every citizen can confidently say that we have a living environment that is visibly free from crime and corruption in this nation of ours - Malaysia," it added. The resolution adopted last night is virtually identical in wording to the resolution passed in September 2012 by the MCCBCHST at its 30th AGM, where it had then noted places of worship had become targets for attacks. The MCCBCHST had last night discussed internal matters such as the group's activities and also religious issues in Malaysia, but Mohan confirmed that no resolution was passed on religious matters which he said has to be solved together amicably by all religious groups. |
| JPMorgan to pay US$264m to resolve China hiring probe Posted: 17 Nov 2016 05:55 PM PST
The SEC and Justice Department had been investigating over several years whether some of JPMorgan's hiring efforts involved bribes, in violation of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The SEC will receive US$130 million of the settlement, with US$72 million going to Justice and US$61.9 million to the US Federal Reserve, which penalised the bank "for unsafe and unsound practices." JPMorgan did not admit or deny the charges. As part of its settlement with the Justice Department, a Hong Kong unit of the bank admitted to making quid pro quo hiring agreements with Chinese officials to win investment business. JPMorgan is the first major bank to settle a case over the hiring of "princelings," as the offspring and other relatives of top Chinese officials are popularly known. In recent years, several other banks, including HSBC and Goldman Sachs, have said their hiring practices in Asia were under scrutiny by US authorities. The US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act makes it a crime to bribe overseas officials to win business, even if the payments are non-monetary. A JPMorgan spokesman said in an email: "The conduct was unacceptable." The hiring programme was halted in 2013 and the bank took actions against those responsible, the spokesman said. Authorities said JPMorgan's Asia unit created an elaborate programme, called "Sons and Daughters," that allowed clients and influential government officials to recommend potential hires. Those candidates received preferential treatment, bypassing JPMorgan's normal recruitment practices, the SEC said. Between 2006 and 2013, JPMorgan hired around 200 interns and full-term employees at the request of its Asia clients, as well as Chinese officials at state-owned companies. Those state-owned companies brought JPMorgan more than US$100 million in revenue, the SEC said. For example, in urging the hiring of one candidate, a JPMorgan banker said, "It will strengthen our relationship" with a client and solidify "our position as an advisor to him and the IPOs of his companies (expected to be >US$500mm in offering size," according to SEC's order. Quid pro quo business arrangements remain an entrenched part of business culture in China that is very hard to avoid, said Alex Bourelly, who leads the SEC enforcement practice at the law firm Baker Botts LLP. Local staff members who have many government contacts know they can be quickly hired elsewhere if they are caught and fired for making improper payments, Bourelly said. "US law has its limits in terms of how it can affect the behaviour of people around the world," he said. — Reuters |
| ‘The Night Shift’ renewed for Season 4 at NBC Posted: 17 Nov 2016 05:42 PM PST
LOS ANGELES, Nov 18 — The prognosis is good for The Night Shift. NBC has renewed the medical drama for a fourth season, it was announced yesterday. The Sony TV series has proven a reliable performer for the network during its summer runs, most recently averaging a 1.4 rating among adults 18-49 in live-plus-seven numbers. The Night Shift is one of the few scripted success stories of the past summer on broadcast television, with CBS (BrainDead, American Gothic) and ABC (Mistresses) failing to draw eyeballs in the era of Peak TV. The Night Shift is also one of a small number of NBC original series not produced in-house by Universal TV. The network's other outside productions include Sony's The Blacklist, its upcoming Redemption spinoff and Timeless, as well as Blindspot and upcoming comedies Trial & Error and Powerless, which hail from Warner Bros. The Carmichael Show, another one of NBC's summer launches, is co-produced by Universal and 20th TV. "Week after week The Night Shift tells incredibly engaging and emotional stories that draw us into a unique world," said NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke. "We are delighted to renew the show for an exciting fourth season and look forward to continue working with such a great cast and executive producing team." — The Hollywood Reporter/Bloomberg |
