2015 a disastrous year for wildlife protection in M’sia, wasn’t it?

2015 a disastrous year for wildlife protection in M’sia, wasn’t it?

A new year has dawned without any noticeable changes in attitude by the government towards the illegal wildlife trade or animal welfare. A look back at 2015 reveals a catalogue of abject failure and dereliction of duty by those paid to protect wildlife and enforce the law.

‘The light... or the dark side?’

‘The light... or the dark side?’

Watching ‘Star Wars’ again after a lapse of over a decade brought back a flood of memories of the original series and the prequel. We got to reconnect with Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca and the adorable R2D2 and C3PO. Fresh on the scene was BB8, a new bubbly bouncy droid. Though much older now, they did justice to the movie and held us spellbound for over two hours!

Alternatives needed to manage negative perceptions of the gov't

Alternatives needed to manage negative perceptions of the gov't

Nowadays, we are engrossed in social media sites with the continuous updates of almost all Malaysians condemning cabinet ministers, including Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and the government as a whole. The credibility of the cabinet ministers today is no longer respected as before. The position as a minister is no longer a grandeur that is highly regarded by the society.
