Puncak Purnama could have been restored


THE Malaysian Institute of Architects, as an institute responsible for the promotion of architecture and the various arts related to it, is dismayed and saddened that Puncak Purnama, the sculpture by our late National Laureate Datuk Syed Ahmad Jamal, has been demolished by Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL).

This iconic piece of art, which was a landmark at Jalan Sultan Sulaiman for 30 years, is now gone forever.

When generosity is in the air
Teachers, consider asking for an AI-use note
The Rukun Negara is not a prop for ridicule
Time to make the haze case
Can you afford to grow old?
The gap we cannot ignore
Bureaucracy keeps clogging our lungs
The lifelong consequences of ‘sharenting’
Knowing about dementia earlier makes a difference
Beyond convenience, we must build for connection
