More Tech Job Cuts

More tech job cuts. 
 
The IT group Salesforce, which specialise in management solutions and in cloud technology, announced on January 04 that they are laying off about 10 percent of their employees, or just less than 8,000 people. 
 
A day later, I read that Amazon had declared they will trim more than 18,000 jobs from their workforce, citing “the uncertain economy” and the fact that they had unwisely “hired rapidly” during the Covid pandemic. The company had already announced 10,000 layoffs in November. 
 
Not to mention that Twitter which was bought in October by billionaire Elon Musk, had dismissed about half of the social media platform’s 7,500 employees. 
 
Incarcerated former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak submitted a petition to the United Nations Human Rights Council Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (UNWGAD) seeking a release from prison or retrial of his SRC International case. 
 
Najib’s lawyer, Shafee Abdullah had maintained that the former Pekan MP’s appeal in the Federal Court had “serious defects” and went against the “rules of international justice”. 
 
Najib began his 12-year jail sentence in August after the apex court affirmed his conviction and sentence in the SRC case.
