The Chinese New Year is a wonderful time to celebrate with family and friends. 春节是一个与家人和朋友欢聚一堂的美好时刻。 It is a season filled with the crackle of fireworks, the mesmerizing skill of lion dances, and the rhythmic beats of gongs and cymbals. 这是一个烟花绽放、舞狮表演精彩纷呈、锣鼓铿锵作响的季节。 However, this year is a little different for us, as our son, Shaun Ng, has tested positive for COVID-19, which means we may not be able to visit our relatives. 然而，今年对我们来说有些特别，因为我们的儿子，黄少恩，被确诊为新冠阳性，所以我们可能无法拜访亲友。 Despite this, our spirits remain high, and we warmly wish you all a Happy Chinese New Year! Stay safe, stay blessed, and may the year ahead bring joy and prosperity to you and your loved ones. 尽管如此，我们的心情依然愉快，衷心祝愿大家新春快乐！愿您和您的家人平安健康，福气满满！

No email addresses This has to be pointed out so that there is improvement in the way how our government webmasters provide proper email addresses for easy communication.           For convenience of the webmasters, the email addresses are provided only as DrAzhar(DOT)Samingon@ expecting people to know that they have to add the rest of the standard domain in order for the email address to reach its designated recipient.           As Malaysians are now an aging population, and many are unfortunately still not IT-savvy, such email addresses would discourage the public from reaching out to the government officers.           Even someone that is more IT-savvy would find it a nuisance having to just type the addresses ourselves, when it could have been copied and pasted.            If provided with a link, it would be more convenient for the public to send emails to th...

By Dr Chew Tow Yow One may ask how extensive and pervasive have been the efforts made by our concerned political and civic leaders to cause the Education Ministry, through its various Curriculum renewal efforts, to reshape the “Malaysian mind” needed for national integrity and progress?         Our hope for the “New Malaysia”, united and progressively and in step with the international trends, will depend on the next generation of leaders now being prepared or languishing in our schools.         Whether we shall continue with the present widespread mediocrity or forge ahead as a united (in mind and spirit) and progressive nation will depend on what is happening in our school children today.        We have paid much attention on political/economic corruption but I do not hear of/notice any concerted effort to monitor what is going in the MIND and HEART of our school children, the next generation of leaders and entrepre...

Untuk versi Bahasa Inggeris sila baca di sini SEJAK penubuhan kerajaan Madani pada 24 November 2022, beberapa tokoh utama dalam kabinet telah menghadapi serangan bertubi-tubi.           Seperti permainan catur, Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim menjadi sasaran utama. Tokoh lain seperti Hannah Yeoh dan Nga Kor Ming—kedua-duanya dari Parti Tindakan Demokratik (DAP)—juga menjadi sasaran serangan.           Begitu juga, Menteri Wilayah Persekutuan Dr. Zaliha Mustafa tidak terlepas daripada kritikan, terutamanya selepas beliau mengambil keputusan untuk menghapuskan peranan orang tengah yang mengaut keuntungan daripada kadar sewa gerai yang tinggi di pusat bandar.           Saifuddin di Bawah Perhatian           Sasaran terbaru ialah Menteri Dalam Negeri, Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. Setahun yang lalu, beliau dikritik kerana mencadangkan pindaan Perlembagaan ...

For the Malay version, please click here SINCE the Madani government was formed on November 24, 2022, several key figures in the cabinet have faced relentless attacks.             Much like a game of chess, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is the ultimate target. Others, such as Hannah Yeoh and Nga Kor Ming—both from the Democratic Action Party (DAP)—have also come under fire.             Similarly, Federal Territories Minister Dr. Zaliha Mustafa has faced her share of criticism, especially after her decision to eliminate middlemen profiting from high stall rentals in the city centre.   Saifuddin Under the Spotlight             The latest target is Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. Just a year ago, he was criticized for proposing amendments to the Federal Constitution and introducing the House Arrest Bill, aimed at reducing prison con...

          Just as the dust was about to settle, I received yet another message from someone cherry-picking details of what Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said in his explanation, and trying to turn it into another major conflict.           I started listening to the video which was sent to me by a Member of Parliament, stating it as the "full version" confirming what I wrote in my blog post .  Full version:  https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Hrq5VHiwJ/             In the video, I see Anwar just trying to explain every step of the process and why he wanted to show some mercy to his            To me, this critic is just searching for the perfect man to be the Prime Minister of the country. He will never find one.           If he cannot accept that Anwar is human and prone to making mistakes, it is  no w...

For the English version, click here   https://come-to-senses.blogspot.com/2025/01/look-whos-having-last-laugh.html NAMPAKNYA Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim sedang menikmati kemenangan terakhirnya dalam kontroversi yang melibatkan addendum bekas Yang di-Pertuan Agong.           Tidak mengejutkan apabila Anwar dituduh “menyembunyikan” addendum, beliau hanya menjawab dengan santai, “Oouuu...!”           Walaupun saya tidak dapat mengesahkan sama ada Anwar tahu di mana addendum itu berada sejak awal, sekurang-kurangnya beliau telah membuat kerja rumahnya. Jika beliau tahu, mungkin beliau menunggu saat ini untuk mengejutkan pihak lawannya.    Tanggungjawab Tidak Dilaksanakan           Ini bukanlah isu mudah untuk rakyat biasa seperti kita untuk menyelesaikannya, tetapi seseorang menjangkakan pihak Pembangkang—dan individu seperti anak Datuk Seri Najib Razak, Datuk Mohd Nizar Raz...
