No one said undetected. He said they were not INTIMIDATED by China (and obviously they're not). China is not stupid enough to start a war they can't win. (are they?)

Yes, a smart State, regardless of big or small, must have sense of urgency and priority. Else, more people will suffer or even die unnecessarily. How pitiful !

gooddaymate ,Yes. In future any PM or high ranking officers or families can openly steal and corrupt yet nobody can complain, otherwise they be investigated. Who is acting like a fool?

The reason why US is rejected because China knows it will give US an opportunity to report fake news about Lhasa.

The wording in the article makes it seem like the school could offer one in-person class, that int'l student need not take, to be compliant. So, Mask Wearing 101, limit 1 student.

Food poverty is a real issue, even the West can't cope. Egypt used to store grain over 20 year period to combat famine, but when you have year after year of famine people starve.

That is the consequences of leakage from the biologic laboratory which was closed in August 2019. China is trying to hide the truth from everyone living on the earth

The big opportunity in this space is digital transformation.” — Jonathan Curtis, vice-president of Franklin Equity Group
KUALA LUMPUR (June 23): Technology sector will see "powerful acceleration" growth in both revenue and earnings, according to Franklin Templeton Investments.
"Once we get through this crisis, we're going to start seeing very powerful acceleration, not only in revenue but in earnings for this sector," said Jonathan Curtis, vice-president of Franklin Equity Group at Franklin Templeton Investments, in "Tech Sector in the Post Pandemic World" webinar session today.
"Investors are so positive about this sector right now. Because coming out of this crisis, it (the tech sector) is well positioned to drive very strong growth," he said.
Curtis highlighted that the expected exponential growth would materialise in the coming three to five years.
"The Covid-19 [pandemic] has accelerated the opportunity in this space and we think coming out of this current challenge, we are going to see an acceleration in technology investment," said Curtis.
In terms of valuation, Curtis said the sector's valuation is reasonable, given its long-term growth potential and high quality of growth.
He believes that the IT sector's valuation is elevated but not excessive, and when compared with valuations of the S&P 500, the tech index is only at an 8% premium currently.
Curtis pointed out that the price-to-earnings multiple on S&P 500 info technology index of 25.01 times currently is nowhere near the level in 1999 to 2000 of over 50 times. "Thus, we don't think this is a bubble," he said.
On the local front, technology stocks can be seen swarming the top gainers list in the recent three months. Bursa Malaysia technology index, from this year's low of 23.81 points in March, has jumped 73.2% to 41.24 points at the time of writing.
The stellar performance of the four FANG stocks has helped fuel the upward trend among Malaysian tech stocks. All three Apple Inc, Netflix Inc and Amazon.com Inc have just hit a record high on Wall Street.
Alphabet Inc, on the other hand, has rebounded US$400 to US$1,451.86 from the low in March.
Curtis expressed his optimism about the tech sector, saying that its growth "is going to go on for a long time" on the back of digital transformation.
"The big opportunity in this space is digital transformation," said Curtis, saying that it will be supported by growth drivers such as artificial intelligence, fintech, internet of things, and 5G technology, among many others.
Curtis said the demand and the need to use the technology have really soared during the Covid-19 pandemic.
"We needed to learn how to work from home, educate from home, shop from home, exercise from home, healthcare from home, socialise from home and dine out from home," he said, adding that there has been a massive retraining of consumers on how the services work and what it could do, during the lockdown.
Curtis noted that consumers and businesses are going to continue to use these digital services and that retraining will continue not just until a vaccine is broadly administered, but even post the Covid-19 crisis.
Furthermore, he said that the tech sector has a "very good quality" being the third-most profitable sector across the S&P 500 by earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation margins, adding that it is also one of the few S&P 500 sectors that are net cash positive.

Guys! Because they add on 4 months of usage into 1 bill. Consumers end up paying based a higher rate due to the 4 months added on usage put in 1 bill, as compared to a monthly bill. Smart way to mark up the bill to give discount or was it, to dishonor the discount.

Teachers who are really dedicated really spend their time with the students during PKP. N the admin too as reports were sent to parents bout the progress of their child. I see this when i was stranded in KL during MCO. N my bro too helped out by having online classroom with the sch teachers who were not computer literate. My bro taught the teachers how to do google clossroom n forms, how to use zoom. N some teachers use white board to teach online...please dun say teachers dun work durin MCO.

Thanks ChineseKungFuMaster. But I don’t think it need worry to much about the Future.
Their favourite love objects DAP and Mahathir might well disappear into the oblivion of irrelevance
But the bitterness of the Chinese will remain and they will need some place to air their views and prop up their delusions

Pruning the dead leaves and twigs?
Or is it toppling the whole tree at its base....well nearly at its base. Certainly all the main branches will go over the next few years as the full implications of the pandemic come into play
I think we don’t have a clue of the changes which are about to occur
Look at your diet and how much of it comes from non Malaysian sources....will the supply of those commodities be guaranteed
Look at the fragility of the Malaysian economy and will it be able to withstand the changing demands of nations determined to be more self reliant
Watch as the collapse of globalisation severely effects Malaysian industry
What about all those B40’s who are suffering from the ever growing problem of unemployment. What will happen when their resources run out
The gig economy is a luxury afforded by an affluent/lazy society. It’s likely the whole concept will collapse
What about retailing and the FnB industry? How long will they survive as people realise the problem is not going away and that money must be carefully managed. Impulse buying and trendiness will disappear, people will become more self reliant out of necessity
Will education have to be pared back to allow for social distancing. We can’t double school room space and teachers overnight. What are the implications for religious indoctrination, extra mural activities
Basically everything we once took for granted is up for review

"Honestly, I would say that though it might seem to many as being small or of minor relevance, for the minority groups or those in the bottom billion, such a support would mean a lot; these are the game changers for my life," he said as he shared some tips on his success until now.
Not forgetting his roots, Bahari also shared some insights and advice to the minority groups such as himself, with the hope of encouraging and inspiring them to also attain success.
He said what was important was that those out there needed to persevere what they hope to achieve, as the challenges faced by this group in whatever area or at whichever level would be twice as hard compared to the general society.
"For the Orang Asli specifically, the challenge to adapt, the dominating sense of togetherness (being different from others) and other aspects are among the 'unwritten' issues which need to be dealt with simultaneously along with other challenges faced by the general society.
"The Orang Asli community also need to live with tolerance and be humble, while embracing the need to befriend as many as possible from the general society," he added.

During his secondary school days, his observations of success stories from other communities would fuel his desire to succeed like them one day.
Bahari also acknowledged that the Department of Orang Asli Affairs (JHEOA) had played an important role throughout his life journey and the lives of other Orang Asli children in providing them with various aids and support.
"External factors were also helpful in giving the right motivation to individuals from minority groups as with me, where support at home was very minimal in assisting and promoting formal education.
"Recognition and support provided by teachers and the school community played a crucial role. In my case for example, the teachers gave me the chance to be the classroom monitor and prefect, among others.

"Such conditions, however, were not really obstacles for me in seeking knowledge," he said, as he mentioned that his only sister also managed to make a change in her life by being one of the pioneer nurses at a special hospital for Orang Asli in Gombak, Selangor, and had since retired.
Bahari was raised by his mother single-handedly, and being illiterate, education to her was not a priority.
What mattered most then was the means to earn a living and to continue with life. She did all kinds of work, from searching for forest produce to working for farmers in minding their crops, to make ends meet.
However, he was proud of his mother who was very dear to him, because despite her shortcomings, she had always supported him in his pursuit of knowledge and always tried her best to provide for his needs, including school uniform, shoes, pocket money and so forth.
