These Penang lang hit global headlines for all the wrong reasons:
The People’s Agenda is organising its fourth webinar in the ‘Reclaim our nation’ series, this time on the fourth concern of its five-point agenda:
4. Save democracy and uphold the rule of law
The High Court has found Rosmah Mansor guilty of corruption in relation to the hybrid solar project for Sarawak schools. Imagine how many schools and schoolchildren could have benefited from the funds.
As the general election approaches, share your thoughts on the critical issues of the day.
Doku-Andrew participated in a “fisherman for a day” programme recently and became more convinced that the reclamation project, spanning 4,500 acres off the coast of southern Penang Island, should be stopped.
A heavily strapped Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik staged a remarkable comeback in Tokyo from 12-18 down in the first game before cruising past Indonesia’s Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan in the second, winning 21-19, 21-14 to bag Malaysia’s first ever gold medals in the world badminton championship and set the tone for the country’s Merdeka and Malaysia celebrations.
With Najib Razak imprisoned, the fissures in Umno are being laid bare. Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob appears to be under intense pressure from the party’s ‘court cluster’ ie those with court cases who are now unnerved by Najib’s jailing.
With the Federal Court’s decision today to uphold the High Court guilty verdict after a four-year emotional roller coaster, some ghosts have been finally laid to rest.
As I write this, immediately after the verdict was announced, a light shower is falling where I am in Penang, as if cleansing the nation.
So do you think we can justify all the mega-reclamation projects going on all over Malaysia?
