KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 8, 2010): Just three days after a senior police officer was killed after crashing into the back of a stalled trailer parked on the emergency lane in Hulu Selangor, a similar road crash this morning saw a family of six perish at KM252 of the North South Expressway (NSE), near the Senawang Toll Plaza.


Six people trapped in a burning car were burnt to death after the car they were travelling
in was involved in an accident at KM252 of the North South Expressway, near the

THE alleged racist remarks made by the prime minister’s special officer underscores the fact that while Datuk Seri Najib Razak seems earnest in his quest for 1Malaysia, there may be those who are out of sync with his way of doing it and whose actions may be even undermining his efforts at forging greater national unity.

IN the autumn of 2006 in a dank room near the Tower of London I met up with Wan Saiful Wan Jan and Wan Mohd Firdaus Wan Mohd Fuaad. Both were well-known to the Malaysian student community in the UK: the former had led Hizbi for many years, while the latter had served as chairman of the United Kingdom and Eire Council for Malaysian Students and was active in the Federation of Student Islamic Societies.  
 
    The green conundrum
CLOSE to four years after the documentary film, An Inconvenient Truth, came onto cinema screens and won rave reviews, I was finally persuaded to watch it by a Swiss friend who felt that Al Gore spoke in part for her and her alpine countrymen when he highlighted the effect of global warming on glacial retreat. No doubt, Gore conveyed a strong sense of urgency for action to be taken to slow down the speed of global warming but by the end of the film, I didn’t learn anything new.

  Open the books of National Sports Council
LET us be honest. There is no love lost between the Sports Ministry and this newspaper’s investigative reporting desk. Over the past six years, we have been carrying out our job as responsible journalists by seeking the truth and reporting with evidence and documents – not on hearsay. During the tenure of Datuk Seri Azalina Othman as minister, a 14-page complaint letter penned by the then National Sports Council’s (NSC) head honcho Datuk Dr Ramlan Aziz found its way to our bosses with copies to the then deputy prime minister, in his capacity as chairman of the Cabinet Committee on Sports. Among others, this writer was accused of "sitting in Petaling Jaya and writing about Brickendonbury" as he "has not set foot there". This was promptly refuted with pictures and a 20-minute video recording, complete with audio which showed my presence in East Hertforsdshire.
