I’m writing to let you know how grateful I am for the assistance of Daily Express. I developed diarrhoea after eating some fish that I had bought at the KK central market on 12 May 2019.

This special classification ranks Malaysia seventh in the world for the most animals in danger of extinction, while in South-East Asia it is second only to Indonesia, which counts 184 species at risk.

These are indeed interesting times for politics in Sabah and for Upko, in particular. .
