Tun Dr Mahathir is the sort of political leader that you, either like or you don’t. Surely no Malaysian can fault him in the way he is steering our little country in the geopolitical minefields of China/US worsening relationship, especially the trade war, China/Malaysia relations and the current global economic uncertainties. .

In the social media world, a “troll” can be anyone’s worst nightmare; a person sitting behind a computer or using a mobile phone or tablet and turning a comment section on facebook, twitter or an online news site for a respected news channel (we have 1-2 in Malaysia) into  little more than a microphone for the internet’s most despicable, cowardly and hateful personalities. .

In 2019, an 18.6-mile (30 kilometer) viaduct was opened to the general public in Brunei that helped connect the Brunei capital of Bandar Seri Begawan to mainland Sarawak.

So – can we talk about hygiene and health and the environment? From an observer’s point of view. I live here, I like it, but I am sad about some of the less fragrant aspects. And if I am occasionally shocked, I should think other visitors and inhabitants are too.

By Datuk Stan YeeIt’s nice that at long last the PM Tun Mahathir is coming to Sabah, although perhaps it would be even more meaningful if today of all days he stayed back at Putrajaya to lead the whole nation in celebrating Malaysia Day, like he did Merdeka Day a fortnight ago. .

By Datuk John Lo American tourism players are already reporting reduction of bookings from China. But out of China trips in the first half 2018 has exceeded more than 70 million trips.

By Datuk John LoThe most ideal form of government is “government of the people, by the people, for the people” made famous by Abraham Lincoln. .
