ELECTION BANNERS: Many have yet to remove them

LOCAL TRADITIONS: Senior DAP leader was rude in his tweet

RECENTLY, a senior DAP politician in Perak tweeted that MCA, after being subservient to Umno, was now "subservient to the Sultan", following the appointment of an MCA member to Johor's state executive council at the direction of the Sultan, despite MCA's stand not to accept government appointments following its poor showing at the recent general election.

TRADITIONALLY, women's presence in politics and nation-building has always been limited. Although 60 per cent of university students are female, women are not actively involved in politics. Malaysian politics still remain male-dominated.

MECHANICS OF EDUCATION: Formulas not the answer

GENIUSES of the past were not born out of a technocratic education system, but of a desire to explore. They were not minted, but inspired.

KUDOS to Malaysia Airlines for stepping in to assist a mother and her daughter who were not allowed to board a flight from Ho Chi Minh as the girl purportedly had chicken pox.
