Putrajaya hacked
At least two top officials in Putrajaya had their digital security violated, with their Telegram accounts hacked.
The victims: Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob and Foreign Affairs Minister Saifuddin Abdullah.
Ismail Sabri also had his Signal account hacked. Signal is regarded as one of the most secure messaging apps around.
It's unclear how the accounts were hacked or if any sensitive information was stolen.

Battleship: LCS edition
The blame game on the LCS fiasco is in full swing, as politicians try to sink each other.
The one taking the most hits at the moment is Umno, partly due to party president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's involvement in changing ship designs early in the LCS project.
Zahid is trying to defend himself by asking the government to clear the air, but not to the point that national secrets are revealed.
Meanwhile, Pakatan Harapan is also fending off attacks from BN over allegations that they stalled the LCS project after capturing Putrajaya in 2018.

Orang Asli obstacles
Yesterday was World Indigenous Day, and like many indigenous peoples, the Orang Asli have many obstacles in their way.
Among other problems, is no proper recognition of the Orang Asli land rights.
Cameron Highlands MP Ramli Mohd Nor - the community's first parliamentarian - also lamented that the government's Orang Asli Development Department (Jakoa) was staffed by "deadwood".
Despite the challenges, many Orang Asli are rising to meet them.
