Merry Christmas, everyone! From Susanna and I.

Our politicians were busy organising “launch ceremonies”, printing banners to say that they were about to do something, or making stickers with their photos to put on aid boxes, and generally doing nothing of any significance. Absolutely shambolic!

Haven’t we learnt that politicians will potentially fleece us for everything, if we continue to treat them as demigods and saviours?

@Khairykj - YB. This was my weekly column in FMT yesterday, and today a client, a major pharma company, tells me that my column was controversial about the minister of health, and that they cannot engage me professionally anymore. Malaysia Terbaru?

Why are we so impressed when a minister gets on with what they are literally being paid for? It’s like being totally grateful and giving the postman a standing ovation when he comes to your house! My column in FMT today.

After 64 years of independence, it is deplorable that 2.7 million Malaysians live in poverty! Has the NEP failed with bad governance? Heck, we all know this! Are we just asking too much from our government? My column in FMT today.

Is this current Malaysia, the nation that Tunku Abdul Rahman and his compatriots fought for? Is Malaysia a truly happy place to live and make a living? Is it a country filled with hard work and glad hearts, like Tunku said? My column in FMT today.

"How are difficult events in Malaysia’s history covered in school textbooks?” @melisa_idris & @sharaadkuttan ask educationist Dr R Santhiram how the thinking that underscores the writing of history textbooks has evolved. Watch #ConsiderThis at https://t.co/6oMihR9aWx

“We are citizens. We are not pendatangs. How will people become nationally conscious if they don’t see anything of themselves in history textbooks?” @melisa_idris & @sharaadkuttan speak to Dr R Santhiram abt his analysis of history textbooks. #ConsiderThis https://t.co/6oMihR9aWx

To navigate out of this dire situation, should we be looking to the same old players, who now are wearing different jerseys and colours? My column in FMT, today

The Dalai Lama once said that you cannot buy trust in the supermarket. So, the question that you and I need to ask our leaders is this: “Can we trust you?” My column in FMT, today.

My column in NST today. I couldn't find a more appropriate picture to describe how I, and perhaps most of us, feel right now. It's time we fixed our mindset, isn't it?

Picking on ordinary, helpless people who are afraid for their lives, by saying that they are the cause of these spikes is simply preposterous. My column in FMT, today.
