RAMKARPAL Singh (Pakatan Harapan-Bukit Gelugor) has rightly said that the High Court ruling, which struck out discriminatory practices against Malaysian mothers with overseas-born children, is not binding on other High Courts of concurrent jurisdictions.

IN 1991, the Malaysian government under Dr Mahathir Mohammad, introduced a Far sighted 20 years vision that is Vision 2020. Now, we have passed the year of 2020, much have been debated, whether we have achieved it or not, Mahathir, knows the answer very well.

I CONCUR 100pc with Ibrahim Kalali in last Sunday’s Forum letter “Returning Labuan to Sabah will be a right decision”.  In addition to the reasons, all valid, stated by Ibrahim, I would like to add my perspective of the eventual, inevitable return of Labuan to Sabah.

LET me start by referring to Yaw Shin Leong, the Treasurer, Central Executive Council (CEC) of the Workers’ Party (WP), a political party in Singapore.

On 4th August 2021 the Federal Government imposed strict restrictions on foreigners under the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme.

EVERY citizen in Malaysia should raise a voice to reform the “Act of 2018”.

IT is strange that even after 60 years, Independent Sabah (Malaysia) still maintain colonial policies and Laws. The Veterinary Department of Sabah, whose officers mostly graduated from Bogor University in Indonesia, maintain the policy which only allows the importation of live cattle or livestock from Australia or New Zealand. Reason given is that both countries are islands and the cattle and also perhaps managed by white man.  .

ON Saturday (July 23), my two cousin sisters (aged 29 and 19) were told by another cousin (age 18) that there was walk-in vaccination for non-elderly available in Dewan Sri Putatan despite a news report several days prior that said no walk-ins are allowed at all PPVs unless they are elderly The female cousin (who registered since April) went to Dewan Sri Putatan that Saturday afternoon, secured a spot, then waited about three hours before managing to get her vaccine.

THE recent article by Datuk John Lo (Daily Express 27 June 2021) is, but a microcosm of what we have achieved over the years in trying to reach the Nirvana of “Sustainability in Forest Management”.

DATUK John Lo’s article asking encourage Sabahans to work closer with Singapore and emulate Singapore’s success story (DE 4.7.2021) refers.  No one disagrees with  Lo that Sabah ought to emulate Singapore’s success story and entice Singaporeans to invest in Sabah, particularly in oil and gas and agriculture.  Singaporeans are always welcome to visit and invest in Sabah.
