LETTER | After all, they can switch to non-nicotine vaping devices and not get caught.

LETTER | And, where is Kuantan MP Fuziah Salleh’s proof that the Lynas rare earths plant is unsafe?

LETTER | How much longer do we cherry-pick parts of history to fit our narrative of land ownership?

LETTER | Why should we vote when crucial issues get buried under silly priorities of selfish politicians?

LETTER | Approaching GE14, and still more mudslinging instead of real policy discussion. 

LETTER | It is only your duty to go to the ballot box, but not your duty to let any side win.

LETTER | The major problem with Harapan's viewpoint is the belief that voters from PAS are still in their corner.

LETTER | Better waste management centres must be built to combat the growing piles of rubbish we create.

Thus, Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak has announced the government’s budget for next year.

With the national budget to be announced on Oct 27, there have been calls to raise the duties and taxes on cigarettes, yet again.

'Perhaps it is time to revisit the topic of harm reduction when it comes to nicotine consumption.'

With an election now looming, it seems that we will have to wait yet another five years before making donations transparent and accessible, a headline topic once again.

The state of Malacca has banned non-recyclable plastic bags for over a year, and the federal government has issued a directive on trash sorting for those living in territories under its purview since 2015.

You would think this topic would be over by now, but apparently Selangor Mentri Besar Azmin Ali just can’t let it go.

Imagine the following scenario. You fork out US$20 million for a party, getaway trips to exotic Maldives and Fiji, but you don’t have a say over who gets to go to it.

I’ll start with a personal statement. I come from a family of smokers, and some have moved to vaping as a conscious choice to reduce harm and foregoing cigarettes entirely.

I refer to Deputy Home Minister Nur Jazlan Mohamed’s words that using the authorities to maintain public order in a street protest is a waste of funds.

Malaysians should admit that we have all given the ‘one finger salute’ every now and then when our choler is at its limit. And of course, some of us will resort to curses and shouts of ridicule as well.

Today, another bunch of red shirted hooligans tried to disrupt the Bersih convoy, this time up north in Alor Setar. Thankfully this time there was a repeated performance of the exceptional performance of our Royal Malaysian Police in maintaining order, as they did in Johor.

Title pretty much says it all, doesn’t it? Not quite.

In former deputy prime minister Dr Ismail Abdul Rahman’s memoirs, ‘The Reluctant Politician’, his comments on the New Economic Policy’s pro-bumiputera policies are well noted.

In the past week or so, Malaysian youths have spoken on an issue that has baffled many of us who have read the international news sphere, especially that coming out from the United States of America.

Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) is now being accused of displacing homeless people by driving and dropping them off at random locations.

I’m perplexed by the recent news that the director-general of the Malaysian Immigration Department has the final say on whether or not a Malaysian can leave the country.
