Malaysia wants to become a regional hub for AI & data centres. A data centre can use up to 25.5 million tonnes of water annually. This amount can support 300,000 people every single day.
Nothing can replace our freshwater ecosystems once they are destroyed & drained.
Indonesian authorities have shut down several screenings of a new documentary on alleged human rights abuses in Papua, including Indigenous land seizures. Rights groups and international media still face restricted access to the region.
Al Jazeera’s @JesWashington reports.
Why do we lack clear, consultative processes for this kind of development in KL? Are lands in the city just for corporate & capitalist expansions?
Stop investing in malls & data centres. Start investing in public facilities & green spaces that benefit the people’s wellbeing.
In a stunning court ruling, the High Court decided that Dr Zaliha Mustafa acted illegally in removing liquid nicotine from the Poisons List, saying the delisting was mainly based on economic reasons and the health minister didn’t consult the Poisons Board.

The Pahang Government just degazetted 85% of the Satak Forest Reserve last month. Only 164 hectares of the 1,072 hectares remain protected. With the threat of climate change & biodiversity loss, why are not protecting our forests even more?

Byk isu tanah adat masih tidak selesai dan telahpun berlaku di Negeri Perak.. Gopeng, Bidor, Behrang Ulu dan Hulu Perak.. tunggu masa akibat "development pressure"... ada yg masuk mahkamah seperti kampung saya KOA Ulu Geruntum..
Di Malaysia, hanya sekitar 30% daripada keuntungan diagihkan kepada pekerja, manakala 70% kekal di tangan pemilik perniagaan.
Bandingkan dengan negara seperti United Kingdom (49.8%) dan Jerman (54.7), di mana bahagian pekerja jauh lebih besar. Ini memberi pekerja ruang untuk benar-benar menampung kos sara hidup dan menikmati kualiti hidup yang lebih baik.
Persoalannya, dalam struktur ekonomi kita hari ini, masih adilkah perkongsian pendapatan yang kita amalkan, atau sudah tiba masanya untuk kita menilai semula siapa yang benar-benar mendapat bahagian yang setimpal?

This is how mass innocence is manufactured:
When an American soldier dies, it is a tragedy with a name, a face, a hometown, a grieving family shown on the news.
When a Vietnamese village was bombed, when a Yemeni wedding party was hit by a drone, when an Iranian girls' school was struck by a missile, it becomes "collateral damage."
It becomes "unconfirmed reports."
It becomes "a complex situation."
It becomes "a tragic mistake."
It becomes a passive sentence with no subject.
Bombs dropped.
Not: "we dropped bombs."
Civilians killed.
Not: "we killed civilians."
The grammar of American war reporting is engineered to remove the agent from the action.
This is not sloppy writing.
This is the entire point.
Keep the agent invisible and the citizen never has to decide whether they are responsible for what the agent does.
The bombs drop themselves.
The bodies appear.
And the American viewer changes the channel with a clear conscience.
"Dzulkefly Expects 10% Cut To Health Ministry’s Budget (~RM4.65 billion)".
When our MOH health services often do not have enough for essential needs, how can this cut not affect services?

DG KKM dah jelaskan.
Masalah sistem kesihatan kita bukan kekurangan doktor.
Masalah sebenar: sistem yang berpecah dan tak selaras.
The Health DG has made it clear.
This is NOT a doctor shortage issue.
This is a system failure.

So the Malaysian Home Ministry has just banned the memoir of Shamsiah Fakeh—leader of the Conscious Women’s Movement (AWAS) & a member of the 10th Regiment of the Malayan Communist Party—which was first published in 2004 by UKM.
What is your govt so afraid of, @anwaribrahim?

Six youths have filed a judicial review against Putrajaya, calling for urgent measures to stop deforestation and ensure at least 50% forest cover.
The group is seeking a mandamus order requiring the government to act, with progress updates every 90 days, and a declaration that their constitutional rights to life and equality have been violated.

Reporting on the environment can feel like a thankless job most days. It rarely becomes the top news and often the crime/degradation persist.
Karam Singh Walia kept at it, week after week, year after year. And inspired a whole generation of aspiring journalists, including me.
My response to the Singapore government’s malicious, false, & defamatory statement following the denial of entry into Singapore & the subsequent deportation on 22 March 2026.
By persecuting those who oppose imperialist, genocidal violence, who is Singapore protecting?
I'm happy to announce this new paper — we compile evidence on the extraordinary harms caused by IMF and World Bank structural adjustment programmes in the global South since the 1980s.
The empirical record is devastating: documented negative impacts on wages, poverty, inequality, maternal mortality, infant mortality, healthcare access, etc.
SAPs inflicted misery on the periphery in order to curtail their consumption, scupper independent development, and make labour and resources more cheaply available for the core.
