I have conducted hundreds of interviews during my career which span over 30 years. From banking to public listed companies.

Dato’ Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim (“DSAI”), the Opposition leader and Member of Parliament for Port Dickson, announced in a press conference on 23rd September that he has “received convincing support from Members of Parliament for [him] to present to His Majesty the Yang Dipertuan Agong.” Some news articles report DSAI as claiming to have close to two-third majority.

While there is a strong case for the recycling of plastics, the practical long-term solution would be to stop using single-use plastics derived from petroleum.

Malaysians will celebrate the 63rd National Day on Aug 31 and we can already see the Jalur Gemilang being displayed in various venues as citizens show their patriotism.

Whatever the outcome of the pending Federal Court decision on the validity of Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal as the rightful Sabah Chief Minister in the coming weeks, it may help set the framework for resolving future such constitutional crises that had become a feature of Sabah politics after every election since 1985.

As cases of Covid-19 infections started to reemerge and more new clusters are detected following the easing of the Movement Control Order (MCO) to the recovery phase, Malaysia has announced the mandatory use of face masks in crowded public places starting Aug 1.

Recently, I received news from my son, who is abroad, that his varsity mate had hanged himself in the dormitory.In the same evening, I heard from a retired colleague that one of her grandchildren’s friends, who was only 12, took his life by jumping off a high rise in the United States.
