Why destroy a 122 year old education legacy ?

Dear Editor, Why destroy a 122 year old educational legacy? The Convent Bukit Nanas all girls school which clocked 122 years of existence is now being forced to go to court to save one of the country's oldest school. What has come of this nation's penchant and obsession for new and commercial developments? Do we not value history? Is there no more obligation towards thriving on proven legacies? Do we not respect and cherish legendary institutions like CBN that is iconic and has continued to play formative roles in educating Malaysians? We are talking about a school that successfully produced many of our country's women leaders and professionals who went to walk the talk in their respective callings bearing testimony of the values instilled in them by this convent. We can preserve pre-war commercial blocks at huge costs and turn them into thriving eateries and businesses but we do not seem to be able to stop greedy developers from land grabs that can b...

Malay unity fact or fantasy ?

Mariam Mokhtar Malay unity: Fact or fantasy? For months, 'they' acted like hyenas cautiously circling one anothera for the kill, fangs bared and saliva dripping from their mouths. This was not a National Geographic clip of hyenas attacking their prey. This was a shameful display of 'Malay unity', with politicians from Bersatu, Umno-Baru and PAS vying to be top-dog. For decades, Malays have been brainwashed into believing that only Umno-Baru, PAS and a mutation of Umno-Baru could ensure Malay unity and defend Islam. In the end, the bitter feuds were just about who can drive the gravy train and control the government purse strings. There is no Malay unity. Propped-up by non-Malay political frogs, the majority Malay PN administration is only a show of avarice, for material wealth and power. Ordinary Malays do not benefit, whilst non-Malays stand to lose more of their rights. Trouble had been brewing for months, ever since PAS sucked up to Bersatu/PN and kicked Um...

There's no such thing as a free lunch

https://focusmalaysia.my/opinion/mariam-to-zulkifli-there-is-no-such-thing-as-a-free-lunch/ Mariam to Zulkifli: There is no such thing as a free lunch! By Mariam Mokhtar WHAT does the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs), Datuk Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri, think he's doing? He and his entourage enjoyed a fully sponsored trip to Saudi Arabia on a private jet. He was invited by a non-governmental organisation (NGO) which is funded by the Saudi government. This is how corruption begins – the small favours. With Malaysian politicians and cronies, corruption starts with the lunch in fancy settings. This then leads to other abuses – power, contracts, tenders, material goods, cheating, theft, and in time, national security perhaps. In response to a tweet, about the cost of his charter flight to Madinah, Zukifli said, "Everything is sponsored because of the good relationship between both countries." A press release on April 9 stated that the working v...
