landmarks

<p>When a leader takes the lead of a country, many of them tend to leave their mark by building a new landmark as part of their administration.</p>
<p>In the past, a few of our Malaysian Prime Ministers have left a piece of themselves by introducing some of the most iconic landmarks around right now.</p>
<p><strong>Let&rsquo;s take a look at some:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/e37e274532bea6c549be4aa822662aebf3dc5468f9d33ea56844a143cfde713c" /></p>
<p>Tun Dr Mahathir, the 4<sup>th</sup> Prime Minister of Malaysia had introduced quite a number of landmarks over the years. Two of them are the township of Cyberjaya as well as the Petronas Twin Towers (KLCC).</p>
<p><img src="https://r2.myc.my/dbd1266a450b6774c57180d63e01f38d25c26b58b5a70eccb32134a61588ac45" /></p>
<p>Datuk Seri Najib, our 6<sup>th</sup> Prime Minister had also left his mark in Malaysia. Not just by having us as the spotlight of international media over the 1MDB case but also with the Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) Tower.</p>
<p><strong>Anwar Ibrahim Announces No Additional Landmarks Under His Administration</strong></p>
<p>In late 2022, we concluded our 15<sup>th</sup> General Elections which saw the win of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. His win was dubbed a historical win in Malaysia. Recently, he announced that he will not be leaving any landmarks around Malaysia to mark his administration.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/a94e28bdd544316e0dffa9a576a9a7678e865507b1a8793a3b80d71f0cc895eb" /></p>
<p>As Kuala Lumpur already has its fair share of iconic buildings such as KLCC and the TRX Tower, Anwar says that he has no intentions of adding more to the list and does not want to compete against them.</p>
<p>&ldquo;My focus is on ensuring our policies are sound, the people&rsquo;s needs are taken care of and we must focus on natural disasters, which are by-products of global climate change,&rdquo; he said.</p>
<p><strong>Attention To SMEs And Hawkers</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/448e450f9c4f8254ad332853e04f2b51a58d91d0321c748c40f344370c703138" /></strong></p>
<p>Currently, Anwar&rsquo;s main focus is to ensure that those running small businesses and medium enterprises (SMEs) will have an equal chance at earning profits and can help boost the capital city&rsquo;s potential ability.</p>
<p>He added that he&rsquo;s been observing the businesses and that very little attention had been given to them. Therefore, the government will be focusing on helping the sector to ensure that those underprivileged groups can benefit from the new initiative and reforms.</p>
<p>We all also know Kuala Lumpur as a beautiful city but sometimes when we have to turn a blind eye knowing how dirty our city can be. Anwar also announced that the government will be focusing on the beautification and cleanliness of the city to make it more attractive.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0505;"><em>Imagine if our city can be as clean as Singapore. Now that would be a dream!</em></span></p>
<p><strong>National Debt Exceeds RM1.5 Trillion</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/0982909447ae499489a33149a9aecc485bf8a4767c210c598274fe3902499848" /></strong></p>
<p>During the 2023 Budget dialogue, Anwar revealed that the current national debt has surpassed the RM1.5 trillion mark which amount includes liabilities borne by the nation and represents 80% of the country&rsquo;s Gross Domestic Profit (GDP). He addresses that the issue needs to be urgently addressed as Malaysians can&rsquo;t afford to remain complacent on the matter.</p>
<p>&ldquo;The economic uncertainties are still not easing. The economy is still considered dim and this was also contributed externally including the Ukraine-Russia conflict as well as global recovery post-Covid.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;The problem with our debt is it has already touched RM1.2 trillion and if includes liabilities, it is RM1.5 trillion. We have to accept this reality. We cannot feel complacent, living with the culture of contentment as if there is no problem,&rdquo; he said.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0505;"><em>Full respect for Anwar for his decision to tackle the issues that Malaysians have been facing. Imagine that we waited this long for a prime minister like this. Hopefully, Malaysia can recover soon enough and we can see our economy going up in the upcoming years to come.</em></span></p>

Anwar Ibrahim Won’t Be Building New Landmarks Under His Administration 

<p>Back on 29 October 2022, an incident happened in a local neighbourhood where a man with a stick had badly beaten a stray puppy named Cera. The news of the attack was shared by My Forever Doggo on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/myforeverdoggo/">Instagram</a> which stated that Cera had suffered broken bones in her right front and hind legs as a result of the violence.</p>

<p>Passersby that were around at the time did not dare to stop the man as he had also threatened to hit those who tried to help the dog. But after an alert had been put out about Cera&rsquo;s case, animal rescuer Shima had taken action and rushed Cera to the vet to seek treatment.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/850cb7aceffcd13c82d9f0d143776b88d2e54b1799bdbe2e2f7808b2232ff3d8" /></p>
<p>The brutal attack had left Cera with both her front right hind legs broken and doctors prescribed her a round of painkillers to cope with the pain and attempted to stabilize her condition. Fortunately, Cera was a strong pup despite having lost her mum prior to the incident and had successfully gone through the surgery.</p>
<p><strong>Attacker Summoned To Court</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/643de3b88c9b28489d8430763477a9e0ab67dfbccbfc14c8550b1b02704a2376" /></strong></p>
<p>Fast forwarding to the present day, Cera is now on her road to recovery and is doing well. My Forever Doggo stated that a police report had been lodged by Shima and other eyewitnesses against the attacker in hope of bringing justice for Cera. A court hearing happened yesterday (31 January 2023) at 9AM at the Kuala Selangor Sessions Court.</p>
<p>According to Shima and the eyewitnesses, they had been threatened by the man.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Before that, there were people who came and tried to like, help. And he was like, &lsquo;If you save her, I will hit you too, I will hurt you too,&rsquo;. So, nobody dared to do anything.&rdquo;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/00136e23a17b74c03e85118af53469910f48beeb92552e41f6f5e758d522933b" /></p>
<p>Currently, we don&rsquo;t know the outcome of the court hearing but the suspect is expected to face charges under Section 29(1) of the Animal Welfare Act 2015. Additionally, the Department of Veterinary Services Malaysia (DVS) is pushing for the maximum possible sentence towards the suspect which will see a fine between RM20,000 to RM100,000 and/or imprisonment of up to 3 years.</p>
<p><strong>Netizen's Comments On The Incident</strong></p>
<p>As the update post of Cera went up, many netizens had left much love for Cera and the efforts of Shima for rescuing her.</p>
<p>Many other netizens had also called for the perpetrator to be punished and hoped that justice will be served against animal abusers in the country.</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/ff88c2898624a67a440cc8cc672e1133d7ad3bf087003939a343a80621602420" /></p>

#JusticeForCera: Animal Abuser Who Broke Puppy’s Legs To Face Criminal Charges

<p>We all know that our Malaysian politicians are no strangers to being called upon to the court over the issues they have caused.</p>
<p>The most notable one would be former Prime Minister Najib Razak who was sentenced to prison for misappropriating funds from SRC International Sdn Bhd.</p>
<p><strong>Read: <a href="https://myc.my/articles/1604/times-up-for-jibby">Time&rsquo;s Up For Jibby</a></strong></p>
<p>This time around, another two of our former prime ministers have now made the headlines but it isn&rsquo;t for what most would expect.</p>
<p>Mohd Hatta Sanuri (47) had filed a lawsuit against Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin for abandoning the high-speed-rail (HSR) project that would have connected Singapore and Malaysia.</p>
<p>Back in 2021, the plaintiff sued the federal government after they withdrew their review application of the International Court of Justice over the decision on Pulau Batu Puteh that had been awarded to Singapore.</p>
<p><strong>Accused of Malfeasance</strong></p>
<p><strong><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/71a15f4317f3cb2d1864253725a52e8eea81933c1f282e51e345bba2d10801f8" /></strong></p>
<p>Mohd Hatta had argued that the former prime ministers had committed malfeasance as the HSR had postponed and subsequently cancelled the project.</p>
<p>On 5 September 2018, the HSR project was ordered to be suspended by Mahathir and the government at the time needed to pay RM46 million in compensation to Singapore. Meanwhile, during Muhyiddin&rsquo;s term as prime minister, he completely terminated the project on 31 December 2020 after the two countries had failed to reach an agreement on changes proposed by the latter. By then, Singapore had already spent S$270 million (~RM820 million at the time) and Malaysia was later required to pay S$102 million (~RM 348 million at the time) as compensation.</p>
<p>During Ismail Sabri&rsquo;s administration in 2021, Sabri himself visited Singapore and proposed to rediscuss the HSR project. Although the agreement had been terminated, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said he was open to restarting the discussion. &nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Requests RM 1 Million Compensation For Each Malaysian</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/e9ab162f89c162ff29ef355154af2250b8dae7ba625be9102e83445d621f7d72" /></strong></p>
<p>In Mohd Hatta&rsquo;s lawsuit, he mentions that former ministers Mustapa Mohamed (Minister in the Prime Minister&rsquo;s Department (Economy)) and Wee Ka Siong (Ministry of Transport) were names mentioned as the other defendants.</p>
<p>Mohd Hatta claimed that the termination of the project had resulted in the loss of confidence in foreign investors in the country and a loss of 70,000 high-paying jobs which missed the opportunity to gain RM70 billion in profit from its construction and operation.</p>
<p>With the loss that the country had suffered due to the leadership of both Mahathir and Muhyiddin, the plaintiff had asked all the defendants to pay RM1 million to every single Malaysian citizen over the negligent handling of the HSR project.</p>
<p><strong>About The HSR</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/cd25a203f9ef532086fbca616cbaadcd80ee7c7a3b3afacf317acb214d4c973e" /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>The HSR was supposed to be a railway project that linked Malaysia and Singapore together with a total of 8 stations and a train that could operate at speeds of 320km/h.</p>
<p>Originally, it was scheduled to start construction in 2018 and it was expected to start operation at the end of 2026. If the project were to go on, the HSR line would have been a total of 350KM long and travel time between the two countries would have been reduced to only 90 minutes.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0505;"><em>Despite making valid points, especially on the loss of confidence in foreign investors, we highly doubt that the court would pass such a lawsuit. </em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0505;"><em>On the other hand, if the HSR did happen, many Malaysians would love its service as it will make it easier to travel between the two countries.</em></span></p>

M’sian Man Sues Mahathir & Muhyiddin For Axing The High-Speed Rail Project

<p>Malaysians can agree that concerts are one of the best things that have come back since the pandemic. Many of us have finally got the chance to see both local and international artists perform on stage and enjoyed every moment of it! Or well, at least some did&hellip;</p>

There were about 60,000 attendees which included Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail as well as the Communications and Digital Minister, Fahmi Fadzil and his wife.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/8ea0977b1c5fe9670784dc53247d241e9fea84364d349082c68f0ce1aca4d7b0" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The concert had managed to attract a multi-racial crowd to the concert on that night and it even featured Datuk Siti Nurhaliza who sang a Tamil song too!</p>

<p>For those who don&rsquo;t know who AR Rahman is, he is a well-known Indian music composer who&rsquo;s won 6 National Film Awards, 15 Filmfare Awards and 17 Filmfare Awards South!</p>
<p><strong>Multiracial Crowd But Not All Were Pleased</strong></p>
<p>Despite the love that many die-hard Malaysian fans showing love for the concert, some were not too appreciative of it.</p>
<p>Instagram user Fatin Amyra Lee posted up an Instagram Story about her experience and it later caught the attention of many due to her using a racial slur that&rsquo;s offensive to Indians.</p>

<p>Her IG Story was shared by Twitter user @Kesvan49 and went viral with 4,180 Retweets and 7.8K likes on the app. Her video captioned &ldquo;These Kel**g songs are making me dizzy. (I) want Hindustani songs, please. Just waiting for Tokti (Siti Nurhaliza) now&hellip;&rdquo;.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://media.tenor.com/tE7JbyC4RxQAAAAC/rude-winston.gif" /></p>
<p>Many criticized her for what she said and claims that she may have got to attend the concert for free, hence why she doesn&rsquo;t appreciate the concert.</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:</p>

<p><strong>National Athlete Also Involved In The Mix</strong></p>
<p>Fatin Amyra Lee was not the only person who received backlash as 26-year-old national women&rsquo;s field hockey player Hanis Nadiah Onn had also commented about the concert.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/6c82da5b048c6644177f6faa4ad63f6f64cef3c3c4eeee2a20cf5469e30069b2" /></p>
<p>To make matters worse, she did not even attend the concert and her remark was just as racist to many. In the comments section of Kosmo Online&rsquo;s post, she said &ldquo;It must smell nice in there&rdquo;.</p>
<p>Not long later, she was called out by netizens online and was battered with heavy criticism for her ignorance. Many had even tagged the Youth and Sports Minister, Hannah Yeoh, to take action against her. Currently, the ministry had not released any statements regarding the issue.</p>
<p>After receiving heavy criticism online, Nadiah later issued out a public apology and stated that she was sorry for her negligence on the negative comment.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/375677963c495b3bd64757127520a6fa73fd508ee13117e5fafe1cb57715369e" /></p>
<p>As of now, both Amyra and Nadiah had set their Instagram accounts to private as it seems that they want to stop receiving attacks from netizens.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0505;"><em>Regardless of the apology, what goes on the internet, stays on the internet. Racism should never be joked about or even tolerated in this day and age, especially with the cancel culture going on now. </em></span></p>

Netizens Bash Instagram User & Hockey Player Over Racist Remarks On AR Rahman’s Concert

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Following Khairy Jamaluddin&rsquo;s recent expulsion from Umno, he claims that he is presently considering all of his options, including finding a new political party.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://www.utusan.com.my/wp-content/uploads/BARU-2KJ.jpeg" alt="Saya tak terkejut - KJ" width="533" height="355" />Image by Utusan</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, any comeback to Umno will depend on whether the party that fired him on Friday night makes a significant shift. In a radio broadcast this morning, Khairy stated that this involves alterations to the top leadership.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KxkPXsusd7I" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The former Rembau MP said on BFM Radio's The Breakfast Grille show that he still intends to be actively involved in politics but added that whatever choice he makes will need to be carefully thought out.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Of course, joining a new party will be unpleasant at first, as it is likely that you have previously disagreed with the party. However, politics is all about influencing people.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What&rsquo;s shocking was that three days before his interview, he was fired from Umno as part of a huge internal purge intended to rid the party of purported dissidents.</span></p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7c/63/28/7c63283168b819a38876f8a3bc6e8428.gif" alt="Shocked GIF - Shocked Glass Break - Discover &amp; Share GIFs | Gif, Shock,  Animated gif" width="432" height="228" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although the official reasons for his dismissal have not been made public, it is widely believed that they have something to do with statements he made calling for Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, the party's president, to step down after Umno had its worst electoral showing since its founding, and accusing the party of going astray and in need of "internal cleansing."</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://img.astroawani.com/2021-08/81627894109_DatukSeriDrAhmad.jpg" alt="Zahid Hamidi zahir penghargaan kepada Ahli Parlimen, pemimpin setia dengan  UMNO | Astro Awani" width="460" height="312" />Image by Astro Awani</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition to Khairy, other prominent leaders who were expelled from Umno were Tan Sri Noh Omar, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, a former party vice-president and a Sembrong MP, as well as former information chief Shahril Sufian Hamdan, were also suspended for six years.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In response to a question about perhaps rejoining Umno, Khairy stated that doing so would depend on the party undergoing an internal reorganization. He also noted how the party's "brand equity" and leadership have declined recently.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://www.agendadaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/PAU11.jpg" alt="PAU 2021: Kini UMNO bermusuh dengan semua parti, mahu PRU-15 segera -  Agenda Daily" width="493" height="328" />Image by Agenda Daily</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When asked if he would challenge his expulsion, Khairy responded, "No, because that would entail challenging the same individuals who took this decision alone. I spoke with Shahril and Noh about this. What good would it do to appeal if they are determined to keep us out?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Additionally, he stated that he has had a number of non-political proposals since losing Sg Buloh in the GE15 and that he will make a choice in due course.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Crown Prince of Johor, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, hinted on Instagram on Saturday that Khairy would be given a significant position both in the state and at Johor Darul Ta'zim FC (JDT). He also shared a cheeky photo of himself and Khairy with the comment, "Future JDTFC CEO and Johor Youth adviser."</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/a79a463bd229189ed77427005529147660ae4fc12a47040209946775333566f1" alt="Future JDTFC CEO &amp; Johor Youth Adviser&quot; &mdash; Johor Prince Hints Of Potential  New Job For Khairy | WeirdKaya" width="476" height="501" />Courtesy of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hrhcrownprinceofjohor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram/@hrhcrownprinceofjohor</a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When asked if his desire to lead the nation one day still exists despite being expelled from Umno, Khairy responded, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">&ldquo;I still want to be involved in politics. If and when I come back to frontline politics, that&rsquo;s something I want to take my time with.&rdquo;&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e03e2d;"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Any thoughts? Spill 'em out in the comment section!&nbsp;</span></em></span></p>

Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is still regarded as a friend by Khairy Jamaluddin. Well, according to him.

What’s Happening Between Khairy And UMNO?

<p>Public transport and more specifically the Light Rail Transit (LRT) can sometimes be a life saviour and also a pain.</p>
<p>Over the recent months, we&rsquo;ve been seeing many reports of the train&rsquo;s disruption due to technical failures and most recently, an issue with the track near the Bandaraya station that had led to the closure of some services due to safety reasons.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/28e6e66ca6c18843c981aece6fd2fa0458838877386e117a09014be8009afebc" /></p>
<p>Since Friday, the LRT had not been running between Bandaraya and Masjid Jamek. Officials had identified that the kink on the track was caused by cracks on the main pillar due to nearby construction.</p>
<p>Without knowing when the issue will be resolved RapidKL has announced the extension of peak hours as of 30 January 2023.</p>
<p><strong>Previous Peak Hour:</strong><br />7AM -&nbsp; 9:30AM &amp; 5PM - 7:30PM<br /><br /><strong>New Peak Hour:</strong><br />6AM &ndash; 10:30AM &amp; 4:30PM &ndash; 8:30PM</p>
<p>The change in peak hour is to help accommodate the volume of commuters at each station to reduce congestion which is significantly high at stations such as Hang Tuah and Masjid Jamek.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/8557b7a8d37c8721db9a42022ee49fb788598d8da497d9765693a4a891a36b79" /></p>
<p>The frequency of the trains particularly for the Ampang &amp; Sri Petaling LRT lines has also increased. On Monday &ndash; Friday, the trains will come every five minutes for the Central Business District (CBD) and every 10 minutes outside the CBD peak hours.</p>
<p>Outside peak hours, the frequency will later decrease back to minutes and 12 minutes respectively on weekdays and weekends.</p>
<p>In fear of congestion issues at the stations, Rapid KL also added more free shuttle buses for the affected stations. There will be a total of 34 buses in operation and each one of them will have a 10-minute frequency. The bus services will operate on both lines between Hang Tuah and Majid Jamek and will also transport commuters to stations between Bandaraya and Sentul Timur.</p>

<p>Due to the inconveniences happening, Prasarana apologised for the inconveniences experienced by passengers and appreciates their support and patience. They promised to ensure the quality of service provided to users is always at their level best.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0505;"><em>Hopefully, Prasarana will fix the issue soon enough. Many Malaysians are currently waiting for the new LRT trains to arrive and start service but this will still take a while.</em></span></p>
