Festive food for thought
With the festive season upon us, we must keep in mind that if we do not waste food, no one will go hungry.
See the substance, not form
Clothing aside, it is about time some adults grow up and see young athletes for what they really are – young people with potential to go far.
Drawing the line on superstitions
It’s true the four arrested for baring all at Mount Kinabalu acted disrespectfully but let’s not give credit to this bunch for the quake.
Heartless deeds driven by greed
The tales of the suffering have been told, the gross negligence, exposed. Now, it’s time to go after the trafffickers, camp guards and the officers whose palms were greased before this monstrosity happened.

The Arakkans of Hindu mythology were evil demons. But even they will be put to shame by the evil that is being perpetrated on those who now live in what was once the kingdom of Arakan.

The Incredible Hug
What’s in a hug? Much more than meets the eye, say researchers. It’s therapeutic, soothing, eases stress and chases away your cares. But as we have seen, it can touch a raw nerve or two.

IT was the morning of Dec 25. I was at a relative’ house where prayers – Hindu ones – were being held. Outside, festivities were in the air. It was Christmas, after all.
