Beberapa bulan lalu, Pengarah Lanskap Majlis Perbandaran Selayang (MPS), Tuan Mokhtar Affandi telah menanam anak-anak pokok buah-buahan di taman senaman kawasan perumahan kami.           Ilham ini lahir daripada rasa syukur atas limpahan hujan dan cahaya matahari yang kita nikmati. Namun, mengapa kita masih perlu mengeksport buah-buahan ke luar negara?           Ketika bersenam di taman, saya terfikir: “Mengapa tidak kita tanam pokok-pokok berbuah di sepanjang jalan? Biar masyarakat umum, termasuk pelancong, dapat menikmati buah-buahan segar sambil bersiar-siar.”  ...

  PUTRAJAYA – Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) menjalin kerjasama dengan pihak berkuasa United Kingdom bagi menyiasat aset milik bekas Perdana Menteri, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, ahli keluarga serta sekutunya. Kerjasama itu dilaksanakan menerusi Perjanjian Bantuan Perundangan Bersama (Mutual Legal Assistance, MLA) dengan National Crime Agency (NCA) United Kingdom yang dimeterai pada Disember tahun lalu. Sumber berkata, SPRM sebelum ini mengadakan beberapa siri pertemuan dengan International Anti-Corruption Coordination Centre (IACCC), unit khas di bawah NCA berpusat di London bagi membincangkan siasatan berkenaan. “SPRM kini menunggu senarai rasmi aset daripada pihak berkuasa United Kingdom melibatkan beberapa negara termasuk Kanada, Switzerland, Jepun dan United Kingdom sendiri. “Sebaik maklumat lengkap diperoleh, SPRM akan memulakan proses perundangan untuk tindakan sitaan serta pelucuthakan aset yang dikenal pasti, sebagaimana dilakukan dalam kes membabitkan Tun Daim ...

  This may be one approach worth discussing, as proposed in the state of Perak—establishing designated shelters for stray dogs in suitable locations.           A few dedicated caregivers could continue their efforts to provide food for the strays without disturbing local residents.           Understandably, most caregivers are senior citizens. Therefore, a  succession plan would be essential, ensuring that when one passes away, another steps in to continue caring for the strays kept within a compound in a designated place (any untilised piece of land) within the housing estate.           This shelter would provide the strays  a safe space to move freely within the compoud —not merely confined in cages—and protected from rain and harsh conditions.          The only concern is that someone may also make an attempt to poison all the dogs, but this is something ...

  The recent incident at the Perak National Day parade, where a woman with a history of psychiatric treatment ambushed Sultan Nazrin Shah, has reignited public discourse on mental health in Malaysia.            Authorities confirmed she was referred to Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta under the Mental Health Act 2001 for psychiatric observation . Such cases underscore the urgent need for accessible, preventive mental health support. Disturbing Patterns in Mental Health           Recent incidents—such as individuals running amok, attacking police stations single-handedly, or cruelly hanging animals to die—reveal disturbing behavioural patterns that may point to underlying mental health conditions.            In one case, a police corporal in Felda Bukit Kuantan was slashed with a machete by a man later referred for psychiatric evaluation. In another, a mentally ill son attacked his elderly...

This blog appears in four languages Blog ini disiarkan dalam empat bahasa. 本博客以四种语言呈现。 இந்த வலைப்பதிவு நான்கு மொழிகளில் வெளியாகிறது. Saya amat terkesan dengan perarakan Merdeka tahun ini, khususnya penyertaan kucing dan anjing—satu isyarat yang menyentuh hati dan mencerminkan kesedaran awam yang semakin meningkat terhadap kebajikan haiwan.       Mari kita bantu kerajaan mempromosikan kebajikan haiwan. Sama ada kongsi pautan ini: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSAbudTDr/ atau hantarkan catatan blog saya kepada rakan anda.       Memandangkan banyak kes kekejaman terhadap haiwan dilaporkan, inisiatif kerajaan untuk mendidik masyarakat tentang penjagaan bertanggungjawab amat tepat pada masanya dan wajar dipuji.        Kekejaman sebegini—sama ada terhadap haiwan atau sesama manusia—mungkin menandakan isu kesihatan mental yang berpunca daripada tekanan hidup atau tempat kerja.       Jika agensi kerajaan mengamalkan penjagaan kucing di da...

Few would know the well-kept secret I have carried all these years—of the one girl I loved as a young boy. Her name was Patches.           Tragically, Patches was one day found floating face down in the murky old river beside her wooden house. That image has never left me.           When I read about the proposal to enact the Urban Renewal Act (URA), memories of Patches came flooding back. Had such a bill been passed in the early 1960s, I truly believe her life—and perhaps mine—might have taken a different course. I might have married her.           Initially, I didn’t follow the URA debates closely, assuming the bill would pass without resistance. But as the discussions unfolded, numerous issues emerged. I was heartened to see diverse voices—including backbenchers—contributing their perspectives.           What the rakyat truly desire is a legislative process that is ...
