Some 20 years ago, the minimum wage was about RM400-RM500. 10 years ago, it had risen to about RM750-RM800 per month. And back then, I always wondered how young adults from the smaller rural villages who came to Kota Kinabalu to work and earn a living survived.

The PH economic model has finally arrived. Tun M announced it on 9 May 2019, on the first anniversary of PH’s election victory. It has taken quite a while. The wait will be worth it if the PH government can have the political will to implement it to the fullest. It has a lot of essential points that will make Malaysia a great country. Those wishing for further details of Tun M’s announcement can refer to it .

Trump has problems of differentiating USA’s friends and foe. .

Libel law has never been easy for the ordinary folks to understand. The first time I heard this statement was over 50 years ago when I was a law student in London. I was reminded of this last week when I came across the recent libel case of Nicola Stocker.

US President Donald Trump’s administration has underestimated China’s resilience and strategic resolve. With the Chinese economy slowing, the US believes that China is hurting and desperate for an end to the trade war. But with ample policy space to address the current slowdown, China’s leadership has no need to abandon its longer-term strategy. .
