KOTA KINABALU: The plight of Sabahans in Australia, including those who overstayed, was among key issues discussed during a courtesy call by Penny Wong to Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan ( pic ) here. Jeffrey said the Australian Foreign Minister was receptive to the idea of establishing a mechanism to find solutions to the issue of Sabahans overstaying there. He said it was no secret that many Sabahans, who travelled to Australia to work in the agriculture sector in search of better wages, overstayed past their permitted 90 days.

We have eight out of the 10 poorest districts in the federation,” said Jeffrey. “These Sabahans working in Australia are circumstantial economic migrants.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan Calls for UK to Rejoin EU’s Single Market
London’s leftist mayor and arch-Remainer Sadiq Khan has called for the United Kingdom to ignore the democratically expressed will of the people and rejoin the European Union’s Single Market. Rather than focus on the violent crime wave that has characterised his tenure in office, London Mayor Sadiq Khan has once again decided to relitigate the 2016 Brexit referendum and call for the UK to rejoin the EU’s Single Market. While he said that he could not speak for the entire Labour Party he said that the left-wing opposition should be campaigning to rejoin the trading bloc, LBC reported . “I believe we should. Spot on,” Mr Khan during the annual State of London debate, saying that he believes the decision to leave the European Union was the “biggest piece of self-inflicted harm ever done to a country.” The statements came amid the ongoing dispute over the Northern Ireland Protocol which essentially kept the British country inside the EU’s Single Market ostensibly to prevent the … [Read more...] about London Mayor Sadiq Khan Calls for UK to Rejoin EU’s Single Market
Mike Pompeo Says America And US Must Face Down China Together, Calls Beijing a Threat
The United States and European Union need a shared understanding of China to resist it, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Thursday, calling Beijing a threat and accusing it of stealing European know-how to develop its economy. Pompeo said he had accepted a proposal by EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell to create a formal U.S.-EU dialogue on China and would travel to Europe soon to host the first session. "There is a transatlantic awakening to the truth of what's happening," Pompeo told a think-tank event via video link. "This isn't the United States confronting China, this is the world confronting China," he said. Borrell raised the idea of a U.S.-EU dialogue earlier this month at the end of a video call between Pompeo and EU foreign ministers. While details are thin, Pompeo said it would be run by senior officials and would be open-ended. Two EU diplomats said the dialogue could be a forum for tackling issues such as how to combat what the West says is Chinese … [Read more...] about Mike Pompeo Says America And US Must Face Down China Together, Calls Beijing a Threat
