I FIND it totally unacceptable that the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has been playing Big Brother all these years. It got worse in the months leading up to GE14.

Pakatan Harapan’s GE14 win is an opportunity for Malaysia to hit the reset button.

THE mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida on Feb 14 this year, where 17 students and teachers died, shocked the United States and the world.

IN a week, we will enter the new year. On a personal level, looking back, I am sure many of our resolutions for 2017 were unfulfilled. But we are only human and will move on with life like nothing happened. And come the new year, we will prepare another set of resolutions.

DEC 6, 2017 marked the 27th year after the demise of Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj (pic), our first prime minister. Tunku, as he was popularly known, will be remembered not just as one of the founding fathers of this beloved nation but also as a man who laid the foundation for a united Malaysia.
