We wish everyone - our readers especially - a very happy new year.

It has been our privilege and pleasure to share the Malaysian journey, and yet another year of building a better tomorrow.

While it has been challenging, with battles won and skirmishes lost, the hope yet lives on.

May 2018 be the year we see real gains on many fronts, especially in our fight against corruption.

We are working with a skeleton staff today, recharging our batteries before returning to the fray.

We shall be back in full force on Jan 2 to continue to give you more news, and views, that matter.
