Key Malaysia Party Threatens to Leave Ruling Bloc, Pressuring PM

Adella Miesner 6 days ago

(Bloomberg) — The largest party in Malaysia’s ruling coalition threatened to pull out unless it gets better terms, adding pressure on Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to shore up his unstable government or call a snap election.

The United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), which holds about a third of the seats in Muhyiddin’s 12-party government, said in a statement late Tuesday that it would enter talks with him to stay in the bloc. It also suggested formalizing an alliance with the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, which would unify the largest Malay-Muslim political organizations.

Short-Term Rental Sites Combat Party Houses, Complaints as COVID Shuts Nightclubs

Adella Miesner 6 days ago

When the coronavirus pandemic shut down bars and concert halls in March, a new phenomenon was born: the vacation-rental nightclub.

Professional party promoters started scanning Airbnb, Vrbo and other short-term rental sites for mansions and luxury condos for hire. Tickets were going for $90 on Eventbrite and TikTok for soirees with bottle service and DJs.

“People were looking to escape from their own homes and came into our tiny neighborhood to party all day, every day,” says Kristen Robinson Doe, a resident of a quiet suburban Dallas neighborhood where a party pad was being rented out for more than $1,000 a night. The five-bedroom home, with a resort-style pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen and mini-golf putting green, was booked back-to-back through the summer. Doe watched in disbelief as strangers streamed through the gates every weekend and danced until dawn, unmasked, inebriated — and in clear violation of social distancing protocols.

In true Cardi B fashion, her 28th birthday celebration was lavish and over-the-top.

The “WAP” rapper jet set off to Vegas over the weekend to enjoy a fun and festive b-day with her friends and—wait for it—ex, Offset. The two, who broke up last month after Cardi filed for divorce, appeared to get cozy on Saturday, Oct. 10.

In fact, Offset shared several behind-the-scenes videos on Instagram Stories, which showed the Grammy winner dancing, laughing and having a good time. In his short clips, the “Press” rapper was dolled up with glam makeup and hair. She kept her outfit casual, though, as she rocked a grey asymmetrical bodysuit.

Later in the night, the two were photographed kissing and packing on the PDA.

While it’s unclear if the duo has officially reconciled their romance, a source revealed that Offset not only put his love on display but he bought the

Guwahati: Local Right-wing activists staged a protest Monday outside the Assam State Zoo in Guwahati seeking a ban on cow slaughter and an end to the practice of feeding beef to big cats in captivity at the zoo.

The protest was against the zoo’s “standard guidelines” of feeding beef to animals.

The move came after Satya Ranjan Borah, a politician who claimed to be from the BJP, addressed a press meet Sunday, making a similar plea to the party-led state government. He called for developing a natural ecosystem by feeding sambar deer to big cats. He also made disparaging remarks about the Muslim community at the presser.

However, he was not present at the protest demonstration outside the zoo, he clarified to ThePrint.

“I was not there. The protest was staged by the Bharat Raksha Manch organisation and they have every right to protest. I

Adella Miesner 6 days ago

Freshers week is arguably the most exciting thing about starting a new year at university. And, for first years and returners alike, the one thing which reigns supreme throughout it all is clubbing. Getting drunk and making a fool of yourself is a university staple, just like skipping 9AMs.

But with the current climate and Nottingham going into a Tier 2 lockdown, it’s all been derailed. That said, it has helped us remember one of the greatest institutions known to man: the house party. But this time, just with your housemates.

So, whether you were a regular at Ocean or Crisis, get your housemates together, whack on your trackies, and throw a (very) small house party just for yourselves!

Step one: Alcohol

The benefit of not actually going to a club means not spending money on drinks while you’re out, Ubers and a kebab on the way back. What does
