Never a dull moment as 2019 begins


VERY soon after 2019 began, the country has been engrossed in new political developments: the resignation of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the meeting of the Prime Minister with the Johor Ruler, the debate on where to draw the line between freedom of speech and insults to the powers that be, new corruption cases ... And so on.

The issues involving our political institutions understandably get most of the media attention. They are vital to the efforts to clear the cobwebs and build a corruption-free, democratic and accountable new Malaysia.
