My adventure down south
The distance was short but the planning was long and arduous.
In my mask I still put my trust
Even when it’s no longer mandatory, it will remain an essential accessory for me.
Let’s fight this flab club!
Every other Malaysian adult is overweight and if we don’t act, this could be a worse health crisis than Covid-19.
Time to pay the (plastic) piper
Our overindulgence in this petroleum by-product comes with a planet-size price tag; we really need to cut down on single-use plastic and ban the bottle!
In EPF we put our trust
IF ever there are awards for government departments for the most trustworthy, most efficient and most friendly, my vote for all three will go to... drum roll, please... the Employees’ Provident Fund.
Living with the virus or endemic graft
ENDEMIC. That’s the state the world is longing for, signalling the end of the Covid-19 pandemic and the truce with SARS-CoV-2 that would allow the virus and humankind to live with each other.
The songs that kept me sane
WELCOME to 2022. This is my first column for the new year and if you are expecting me to rage against the nasty and horribly depressing issues and controversies that continue to plague us – the latest involving the MACC chief commissioner – I will disappoint you.

True defenders of multiracial Malaysia
THE whiskey won by a whisker. That’s probably not accurate but I couldn’t resist the play on words.
Karens (and Kens) in our midst
WE have met our first “Karen” in Malaysia. That’s not her real name, but she became famous (or should I say infamous) a week ago when a video of her kicking up a big fuss at a luxury boutique in a KL shopping mall after she was prevented from entering the shop without a face mask went viral. She also refused to check in with the MySejahtera app.
