DBKL's outright insensitivity to the wishes of the residents of Danau Kota!

On 29 July 2009 several residents in the Danau Kota area and I presented a Petition signed by more than 500 residents protesting against the Danau Kota Uptown Pasar Malam.

Distance, home and reflection

1) The opportunity to study abroad is a gift. I remember my days as a student in Belfast so long ago. Now as then, overseas study gives us the chance to be educated at some of the finest, best established institutions of higher learning anywhere, and to be exposed to the best that has been thought and done, and to measure ourselves against the highest standards.
