@friendsofadik yes pls!

The use of the Sedition Act against the Bloomberg journalist(s) again underscores why this arbitrary and archaic law just needs to go.

[Darsh Kanda @darshkanda]

Thank you everyone! I am less on X these days so imagine my happy surprise to see all these well wishes. I am beyond touched. I hope to make the most of my time at the fellowship to learn and engage with the best, and to bring back my learnings to benefit the media space in SEA.

The Sg Kim Kim clean up cost RM6m. But it's not the worst river in the country.

In 2019, the @KiniNewsLab published an interactive article examining why rivers in Johor are in such bad shape.

Probably one of the most important day of our life. Finally, my overseas born daughter is now recognized as a Malaysian citizen thru article 15(2)- citizenship via registration.

My sincere thanks to YB @weekasiongmp for highlighting my case in the parliamentary session.

When in the middle of a hair appointment, never ever look at yourself in the mirror midway. It is not pretty.

Mana dia demokrasi? Mana dia hak asasi (wanita Malaysia untuk mengurniakan kewarganegaraan kepada anak-anak mereka yang dilahirkan di luar negara)? Mana dia hak kemanusiaan (golongan pelarian di Malaysia untuk bekerja dan pergi ke sekolah)?

[Anwar Ibrahim @anwaribrahim]

Mana dia demokrasi? Mana dia hak asasi? Mana dia hak kemanusiaan? Saya tempik laungan solidariti sewaktu menghadiri “Himpunan Malaysia Bersama Palestin” bersama ribuan masyarakat di Axiata Arena, Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur malam ini.

Sayugia, himpunan ini merupakan salah satu mesej solidariti Malaysia terhadap perjuangan sah rakyat Palestin.

Kendatipun berdepan tantangan dan ugutan, saya maklumkan hadirin, Malaysia tidak akan berhenti setakat ini sahaja malah akan terus memperjuangkan kebebasan Palestin dan mengutuk pencerobohan tanpa rasa takut.

Ini bukan sekadar isu negara Arab, tapi isu kemanusiaan yang wajar menjadi dukungan kita, kerana itu kita telah membuat keputusan menyokong perjuangan sah rakyat Palestin ke arah Palestin yang Merdeka.

Hidup Palestin!
Palestin merdeka!
Allahuakbar!

Really? This is what he focusses on? Not , let’s earn the trust of the citizens. Not, improve our efficiency and services. Not, let’s address public complaints. Not, let’s tackle gender discrimination or bad office politics or perception of racial bias in govt depts.

1. PM Anwar Ibrahim has reminded all government departments to not entertain any letters that are not written in Malay.
