KUALA LUMPUR (June 13): The government is in the midst of drafting an amendment to the Accountants Act 1967, in a bid to empower the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA) to take action against bogus accountants and other unlawful accounting practices. Speaking at a press conference after the opening ceremony of the MIA International Accountants Conference 2023, the statutory body's president Datuk Bazlan Osman said the amendment is long overdue, as the law had not taken into account certain industry changes, such as environment, social and governance (ESG) standards.

By AP News Published Sep 5, 2023 11:03 am ATLANTA (AP) — Sixty-one people have been indicted in Georgia on racketeering charges following a long-running state investigation into protests against a proposed police and training facility in the Atlanta area that critics call 'Cop City.' The sweeping indictment was brought by Republican Attorney General Chris Carr.

COMEDIAN IN CHIEF | For the performer known as Willie Nep (center), the country's top politicians of the day were fair game and ever ripe for satire. His 'version' of two of them are shown here. (INQUIRER FILE PHOTOS) At first, he dreamed of becoming a singer or an actor. But unfortunately for him, he used to joke, everyone else during his time was good-looking. He couldn't be one of them. And so he became all of them. Willie Nepomuceno, the veteran comic and satirist known for his uncanny and uproarious impressions of top celebrities and politicians, died on July 26, two days after sustaining a head injury from an accident at home.
