GEORGE TOWN: With seat negotiations about to proceed between Umno and the Penang government, Penang Barisan Nasional chairman Datuk Musa Sheikh Fadzir says other component parties will also have a part to play. He said Penang MCA chairman Datuk Tan Teik Cheng was right to say that seat negotiations between Barisan and Pakatan Harapan should include all component parties. "Definitely Barisan, including MCA, will be in the discussions, but not right now. "The first step is to discuss the Malay areas which Umno contested before, and then we will do the second step for Barisan (as a whole)," Musa was quoted as saying to a local news portal.

Bersatu leader Dr Afif Bahardin yesterday said that his former ally Amirudin Shari who now holds the post of Selangor menteri besar has doubts and does not fully trust Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. He said he had known Amirudin for a long time, since they were both in PKR and competing in the youth wing. He said they had also joined hands to run for the posts of youth and deputy youth chief, although Amirudin lost to Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, who is currently a PKR vice-president. "He doesn't trust Anwar so much, he is like us," Afif said.

CHINESE president Xi Jinping's first major reform plans a decade ago were also his boldest, envisaging a transition to a Western-style free market economy driven by services and consumption by 2020. The 60-point agenda was meant to fix an obsolete growth model better suited to less developed countries. However, most of those reforms have gone nowhere leaving the economy largely reliant on older policies that have only added to China's massive debt pile and industrial overcapacity. The failure to restructure the world's second-largest economy has raised critical questions about what comes next for China.

MANILA, Philippines — Following a meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang, President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. said that more lines of communication will be created between the Philippines and China. This development follows controversial comments from Chinese envoy Huang Xilian, who told the Philippines to renounce Taiwan's bid for independence if it cared about the overseas Filipino workers on the island. 'As to the conflicts, we agreed to establish more lines of communications so that any event that occurs in the West Philippine Sea that involves China and the Philippines can immediately be resolved,' said Marcos in a statement.
