Gerrymandering – the practice of manipulating the boundaries of electoral districts to create an unfair advantage for one party – is a tradition in US politics. 04.02.2022, Sputnik International
Van Horn (dpa) - Mit Cowboy-Hut und Daumen hoch stieg Jeff Bezos in der Morgensonne der westtexanischen Wüste als erster aus der gerade gelandeten Raumkapsel - und umarmte erstmal seine Eltern.
Dann feierte der Amazon-Gründer und reichste Mensch der Welt am Dienstag den ersten bemannten All-Ausflug des Raumschiffs «New Shepard» seiner Firma Blue Origin mit einer Chamapagner-Dusche. Gemeinsam mit dem 57-Jährigen waren sein Bruder Mark sowie eine 82 Jahre alte frühere US-Pilotin und ein 18-jähriger Niederländer als Passagiere auf dem rund zehnminütigen All-Ausflug dabei. Bereits vor rund zehn Tagen hatte mit dem Briten Richard Branson ein weiterer Milliardär sein eigenes Raumschiff getestet.
Issue of statelessness still unresolved Pix for illustration purposes.
SARAWAK has prided itself as a state that has kept away illegal immigrants, but in its own backyard it finds itself in a bind with a host of problems related to its own people.
Many indigenous people remain stateless, especially the Penan who have been waiting for decades to be accorded Malaysian citizenship and to be recognised as citizens of Malaysia.
Long delays and excessive bureaucracy on the part of the National Registration Department (NRD) have left many applicants in the lurch and their citizenship woes run into three generations.
The issue has been made difficult by their nomadic culture, and compounded by rural poverty and illiteracy as most Penans cannot read nor write in Bahasa Malaysia. Almost all of them cannot afford the luxury of travel.

The end of the ban on non-essential international travel is due to end in England on May 17. Credit: PA
British holidaymakers may have the option to jet off abroad - but the list of available destinations may be smaller than many had hoped.
The system will list countries as green, amber or red, with anyone returning from a green country not required to enter any form of quarantine.
Politicians have indicated in recent days they believe the ban on international travel can end in two weeks on the planned date of May 17 in England.
Reports suggest the list could include about a dozen countries, although some newspapers say it could be fewer than 10.
