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. Most people look down on Indonesia as the poorer neighbour, much like the way Singapore looks at us.

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.
Maka tidak hairanlah pemimpinnya terutama di pedalaman tidak perlu ke pejabat untuk bertemu rakyat. Cukuplah mencari mereka di mana-mana pusat hiburan sama ada siang atau malam.
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.

Proham Press statement on Restoring National Confidence in Federal Scholarship Scheme

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. Sipaun not only survived, but went on to win scholarships to Victoria University, New Zealand and Oxford University, England and was Sabah’s State Secretary from 1988 to 1993.

HAPPY HARVEST FESTIVAL 2011
My house was broken into last night by two robbers who locked me in the bathroom, and proceeded to steal all they could carry. My watchdog, "Killer", did not alert me, and for this reason I am giving him away.
