Private Schools Clash as House Subpanel Tackles Education Bill

Kathmandu, May 18 – After extensive debates and discussions regarding the School Education Bill, a subgroup within the House of Representatives' Education, Health and Information Technology Committee was unable to reach an agreement on how to regulate private educational institutions.

Lawmakers Decry Selective Bias in Prosecuting Party Leaders

Kathmandu, May 18 -- Nepali Congress lawmakers have raised questions over the actions taken by law enforcement and anti-corruption bodies against the party's leaders on various charges. Speaking at the Congress' parliamentary party meeting on Saturday, several lawmakers also accused the state agencies of being selectively biased against Congress leaders while sparing leaders from another ruling partner, the CPN-UML, linked in similar charges. Though the meeting was convened to discuss the issues related to the government's budget to be unveiled on May 29 for the upcoming fiscal year, many speakers were reportedly focused on criticising the government. Moreover, according to lawmakers present at the meeting, some lamented that the Congress, the largest party in the House of Representatives, was treated as a junior partner in the government. Party's general secretaries Gagan Thapa and Bishwa Prakash Sharma, among some other key leaders, however, were not prese...

Proposed Casino Law Seeks to Tighten Rules and Limit Foreign Investment – International Edition

Kathmandu, May 18 – The administration has suggested reducing the minimum requirement for foreign direct investment (FDI) in the casino sector along with implementing new regulations aimed at improving oversight of Nepal’s growing gambling business. While these measures are intended to clarify the law and attract more global players, some operators warn that certain provisions in the proposed legislation could prove counter-productive. In June 2018, the administration created a separate Casino Act for the initial time to establish a transparent legal structure for this industry and ease the way for foreign companies to enter the market. This move was prompted by an expected rise in demand, driven by the swift development of upscale hotels throughout the nation. Nevertheless, this initial strategy has since been modified. Rather than enacting standalone legislation, the suggested Casino Act is now incorporated into the recently presented Integrated Tourism Bill before Parlia...

With over ten years of experience managing sporting organizations at both state and national levels, I've seen firsthand the strengths and weaknesses within our sports framework. Malaysia boasts gifted athletes and an enthusiastic fan base. However, this talent has often been stifled due to governance issues across different tiers. We have to face an uncomfortable reality: numerous sport organizations within our country fall short on accountability, transparency, and compliance with laws—key elements needed to foster long-term athletic achievement. These governing standards aren’t abstract ideas; rather, they form the bedrock for fostering trust, enhancing performances, and driving advancement. Not just titles In numerous Malaysian sporting organizations, leadership posts are seen more as ceremonial honors instead of responsibilities requiring oversight. Several individuals stay in their positions for extended periods without facing accountability r...

Saifuddin Denies Allegations of Money Politics in PKR Elections

GEORGE TOWN: Ex-PKR Secretary-General Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail refuted any allegations of monetary practices within the party’s elections, affirming that PKR remains committed to the core values upon which it was established. Saifuddin, currently serving as the secretary-general of Pakatan Harapan, stated that he has observed no clear cases where money was directly provided in return for party members' backing, a practice commonly associated with money politics. I don't believe PKR has attained that degree. Paying for items such as tents, accommodations, or food services is typical.
