Time for the young to lead
INDONESIA made an audacious decision that will change its political construct, perhaps for the better.
Tech giants must pay for news
THE media landscape has changed for the worse, especially for newspaper companies. The last decade has been a challenging one. Media companies are losing revenues. Many of these companies have folded, the rest are struggling to keep afloat.
A giant among intellectuals
Professor Emeritus Tan Sri Mohd Kamal Hassan was an intellectual with impeccable credentials. He was known for his academic excellence and leadership. A giant among men. His demise on Thursday morning due to complications related to recent surgical procedures was a big loss to the nation. But his legacy will live on.
The power of every vote
We may be heralding a new era in our political construct and the political culture is changing for the better.

OUR Parliament is still a male domain, perhaps even the last bastion of “maleness” while the world outside has changed dramatically. It is no surprise that misogyny still reigns high and mighty. Hardly 11% of our representatives are women.
Understand why elections matter
The outcome of the general election affects us all, but holding one is not easy, and is costly too.
Removing subsidies not the way
I BELIEVE that subsidy, like monopoly, is a market intervention we must do without. In a perfect market set-up, a subsidy will only encourage economic inefficiency and stifle growth.
