Why I left for our ‘poorer’ neighbour
Contrary to most Malaysians who work overseas, I chose a less popular destination. I have been based in Jakarta for the past year and a bit.

Bukan Aset, Tetapi Parasit Dalam PBS
Saudara Pengarang,
GENERASI pemimpin Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) masakini lebih tertarik dengan daya kuasa wang dan pangkat. Generasi pelapis yang tidak pernah merasai peritnya perjuangan jatuh bangunnya parti itu, lebih rela diulit mimpi indah berbanding matlamat sebenar perjuangan untuk membela rakyat.

Inilah hakikat fenomena yang berlaku di kalangan pemimpin pemudanya, yang bukan sahaja ego, bongkak malahan sombong dan angkuh. Ketokohan Huguan Siou juga sedikit sebanyak tercalar oleh sikap pemimpin di Keningau ini.

Life before Malaysia
TAN SRI Simon Sipaun counts himself fortunate to be alive today. “My parents had five children, but only two survived…I was the third child and first to survive,” he recounts in an e-mail interview on 1 April 2011.

Over 50 US Christian Churches to Hold Muslim Qur'an Readings...
"Arrogance, pride is always the beginning of the end. It is only in the simple hearts of man, the simple hearts, the child-like candor of an adult, that the truth will be found and the way. I am the way! No one shall come to the Father but through Me, for I am the way. All who deny My visit to your world, all who have not accepted Me as the Messiah, they are against Me, and as such, will seek to destroy all who uphold the truth." - Jesus, August 5, 1974
