Mohd Ariff Sabri Aziz Umno has unashamedly used every weapon in its arsenal – race, religion, rulers and riots – to scare the people, writes a former Umno assemblyman. Malaysians must choose whether to stand on the side of a bully or on the side of the marginalised and those…
Finding ‘Malaysia’
The only time I can feel a truly ‘One Malaysia’ experience is when I had my once-a-month haircut at a salon near my hometown.
