Agensi berita rasmi Malaysia melaporkan semalam, Menteri Besar Perlis yang baharu Encik Abu Bakar Hamzah ( gambar, atas ) bertekad untuk mengekalkan persefahaman dalam kalangan barisan ADUN PN di negeri itu yang terdiri daripada PAS dan Bersatu.

"Tidak timbul isu sama ada PAS atau Bersatu lebih atau kurang baik. Apa yang penting saya ajak semua kakitangan awam negeri dan rakyat mendoakan agar Perlis setanding pembangunannya dengan negeri lain. "Dari segi politik kita akan kekal dalam pasukan PN. PAS dan Bersatu adalah sebuah keluarga, apa juga perbalahan akan diselesaikan dalam masa terdekat dan saya amat berharap hubungan PN kekal baik hingga habis penggal," katanya. Abu Bakar bercak...

Merujuk kepada satu hantaran di media sosial, Berita Harian melaporkan hari ini bekas eksekutif PetroSaudi dan pemberi maklumat 1MDB, Xavier Andre Justo, menyifatkan keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi yang menjatuhkan hukuman penjara 15 tahun terhadap bekas Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak, sebagai bukti bahawa 'keadilan itu penting'. "Hari ini adalah hari yang sangat bermakna bagi saya," katanya menerusi satu hantaran di media sosial. Justo, yang bertindak sebagai pemberi maklumat, sebelum ini membocorkan butiran kepada media mengenai bagaimana berbilion ringgit diselewengkan daripada 1MDB antara 2009 hingga 2011. Dana kekayaan negara itu, yang ditubuhkan oleh Najib pada 2009, menjalinkan usaha sama dengan PetroSaudi bagi merancakkan pembangunan ekonomi melalui perkongsian global. Justo, seorang warga Switzerland, ketika itu adalah eksekutif PetroSaudi International Ltd. "Saya amat berterima kasih atas keadilan, kebebasan dan keberanian hakim serta...

Learn to evaluate and improve yourself—Don't blame your spouse alone

DIVORCE IS NOT THE BEST IDEA A son came to his father with slumped shoulders, angry and exhausted. “Dad, I’ve decided. I’m filing for divorce. Enough is enough. Mom was right—my wife is lazy. How long am I supposed to carry everything on my own?” The father looked at him closely, sighed, and said quietly, “Forgive me, son…” “For what?” the son asked, surprised. “For the times I wasn’t gentle enough with your mother. And maybe it’s partly my fault that a dark corner settled in your heart—one that’s pushing you toward this decision.” “So you think I shouldn’t get divorced?” “Not only should you not—don’t even let that thought take root.” “So what, just suffer for the rest of my life?” “No. Not suffer your wife—suffer your wrong attitude toward her. Change yourself, and the world around you will change too.” “And how am I supposed to change?” “Look at your wife through the eyes God looks at us with. She is a gift given to you. Your joy. Your support. The mother of your children. She’s a f...

More and more Malaysians use motorcycles due to traffic and transport issues — Transport think tank

Motorbikes tell the real story of Malaysia’s transport problem In Malaysia, the sustainable transport debate is often framed as a simple  : public transport versus private cars. Build better trains, the argument goes, and people will leave their cars at home. But for millions of Malaysians, that framing does not reflect reality. For a large number of daily commuters, the real alternative to trains and buses is not a car. It is a motorcycle. The kapcai is not a lifestyle choice or a hobby; it is a survival tool. It solves a problem Malaysia’s transport system has never fully addressed: how to move quickly, affordably and predictably when public transport does not work end-to-end. This matters because motorcycles now sit at the centre of Malaysia’s transport paradox. They are efficient, flexible and accessible, yet also account for a disproportionate share of road fatalities. Motorcyclists consistently make up the majority of road deaths in Malaysia, a pattern that has remained stubb...
