1 July is the date when a range of subsidies and price caps are supposed to be removed. Of course, there are other ways to retain some of those critical subsidies. Check out this piece by K Veeriah in Aliran: Delay mega-projects and tax ultra-rich to raise funds for subsidies
The state government should be thinking of protecting our food security instead of facilitating even more property development (for whom?).
The Bon Odori brouhaha is another episode that shows us why we have to adopt a more inclusive and accepting approach to ethnic and cultural diversity.
Share your thoughts on the latest current events, including the run-up to the coming general election.
Here’s where we discuss the rising cost of living, including soaring food and fuel prices. What are the latest price hikes and what can we do to stop them?
Here’s where you get to talk about current events of public interest, including the run-up to the coming general election.
Two moments stood out in last night’s debate between Anwar Ibrahim and Najib Razak.
Is our development – especially all those mega-projects – really sustainable? Are we doing enough to curb climate change?
Independent filmmaker Andrew has come up with another video, this time showcasing the fishing community of Sungai Batu and their role in promoting food security.
Has our quality of life really improved in recent years? Are all workers able to live in dignity? Are families able to afford nutritious, balanced diets?
Today, we look at the first point of the five-point People’s Agenda. Anne Lasimbang, executive director of Pacos Trust, a community-based organisation in Sabah, explains why it is crucial to raise the dignity and quality of life of the people.
Here I explain the background to the People’s Agenda and why the NGOs felt the need to come up with the five key points.

We wanted the political parties and political leaders to focus on these issues in their campaigning rather than on the divisive issues of race and religion.
Well, this is what my colleagues and I and our civil society partners have been busy with over the last few days.
The People’s Agenda was unveiled yesterday, with six civil society co-sponsors.
The theme of the agenda is “Reclaim our Nation!” with the slogan “People first, democracy now!”
On Sunday, Christians celebrate Easter, the greatest day in the Christian calendar – yes, more important than Christmas – for this is the day Christians believe Jesus conquered death.
But we will not be able to grasp the full significance of the day if we do not look at the real reason Jesus was executed on Good Friday.
Check out this video about the elevated light rail system in Singapore, especially the comparison with buses and trams at street level.
About 50 people gathered in Tanjung Bunga this morning to remind the state government about its pledge for a seafront public park.
I cannot for the life of me understand why the convicted criminal Najib Razak is now being feted by certain groups in Penang.
I spoke to a couple of PKR people following the elections closely.
One of them based in Johor Bahru said Barisan Nasional would win 31 of the 56 seats if the turnout does not exceed 65% of the votes.
