Everything, everywhere,all at once
It’s a jumbled-up jungle out there, and all we need is consistency – especially from our leaders – to help us cope, says the writer.
Double trouble
We all have a doppelgänger – the person we present to the world and the person we really are. It’s only when people’s different personae clash that we need to be wary.
Walking the talk
We should do as we preach and be kind to others, especially those taking refuge in our country, says the writer. There is nothing to lose.
Keep calm and carry on fasting
Perhaps it would benefit us all if every time we felt hurt or insulted, especially this Ramadan, we took a moment and asked ourselves ‘What would the Prophet do?’, says the writer.
Faith in justice
The Federal civil and criminal courts may not be perfect, but we have a running chance at being dealt with justly should we come before them, says the writer.
Not a zero-sum game
Concern and advocacy for a global cause does not deprive our own backyard of the same energy to do good, says the writer.
Scourge of our times
There is a chilling blood lust within the Israeli government whose murderous intentions are being supported without any qualms by their overseas supporters.

For a shiny, happy Malaysia
Most Malaysians want to be able to forget all of the noise and negativity and simply be happy, even if only temporarily, says the writer.
