Positive change: Tengku Maimun has been appointed as the country’s first woman Chief Justice, and probably a first in the Muslim world too.

As its honeymoon year draws to a close, the Pakatan Harapan government needs to summon the political will and courage to do more of what is right and what is just and start fulfilling its promise of change and to make life better for all. 

IN spite of the many disappointments expressed over the failure of the new Pakatan Harapan government to deliver on its many promises, I am one of those denigrated liberals who work and hang out in Bangsar who actually still have faith that change is possible.
