Power tariff hikes, but for who?
Electricity tariff hikes are coming by the second half of this year.
However, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim clarified that the increase will only affect industries and the "maha-kaya" (ultra rich).
He said this is needed to help fund other sectors like healthcare and education.
According to Anwar, 85 percent of the population will not be affected.

Sabah scandal alleged cover-up
The whistleblower who exposed a series of videos implicating Sabah assemblypersons in an alleged corruption scandal claimed he was offered a settlement to silence him.
The offer allegedly came from Sabah governor Musa Aman's son-in-law, Arifin Mohd Arif.
The settlement alleged that the businessperson would have his revoked mineral exploration licenses restored in exchange for a public statement declaring the bribes given were political donations.
