The new year will be a challenging one for the whole world. Between economic uncertainty, violent weather and the ravages of war, there is no country that does not face tough decisions and uncertainty in 2023. Malaysia is no exception. But unlike many countries, Malaysia is fortunate enough to have a new Government, with a new, mature leader who is respected and trusted worldwide. This is a privilege that few countries enjoy today.

Malaysians have a right to see Anwar govern — analyst

THERE is something about Malaysia, something special that you cannot describe to anyone who has not lived here. The people here are kind, friendly and always willing to lend a helping hand. There is more natural beauty in every nook and cranny of Malaysia than anyone will ever get to see in a single lifetime, from lush forests and pristine mountains to spectacular beaches and magnificent coral reefs. The “tiger cub” economy not only survived Covid but is bouncing back strong.

GE15 and the role of the next generation

The world is currently experiencing a moment of transition. This comes after the certainties and stability of the ‘end of history’ — the period spanning the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Global Financial Crisis.

We are witnessing many changes. We have seen the rise of China and to a lesser extent, India. The world is beginning to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic. The crisis in Ukraine has generated uncertainties regarding the global energy and food situations. We have seen the end of cheap credit and also the resurgence of populism, nationalism, parochialism, extremism and fundamentalism across the world, which among other things also reflect uncertainty and anxiety.

A crucial election for Malaysia to surge ahead

World champions they are not. In times gone by, Sri Lankan teams secured silverware on the world’s premier cricketing podiums. But not since 2014 when they won the Asia Cup. Since then, not even close. The glory days of the 1990s and the first decade of the new millennium were stuff for those so bereft of reasons to cheer that they had to make do with grainy archival footage in the almost sepia colours of years past. Sometimes even of matches played before they were even born.

Self-belief gives Sri Lanka’s cricketers the Asia Cup

Crisis and turmoil are probably the opposite of sun and sand.

For as long as the human race has organised itself into sovereign nations, no country has had a story of limitless success. Nations and empires alike have risen and fallen, over thousands of years.

Sri Lanka won’t be the last nation to need friends

Sri Lanka, a tear-shaped island located off the southern tip of India, is known by other names as exotic such as Ceylon, Taprobane and Serendib and indeed has earned descriptives such as the Granary of the East and Pearl of the Indian Ocean. In aeons long gone there have been overflowing granarie...

Sri Lanka: Tragic, resilient and always serendipitous

Over 250,000 people have succumbed to Covid-19 as I write these words. If every death diminishes each one of us left alive, then we have indeed been reduced to minuscule dimensions. Yet our fears and sorrows are monumental. Before Covid-19, few of us had truly comprehended that death, indeed, is ...
