Today, while waiting for the bus near my house in London, I saw a group of elderly around their 80s laughing and enjoying their time together whilst their two caregivers keep an eye on them. My heart suddenly felt so heavy. They reminded me of our 7th respectable Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad who […]
Saya lahir dalam keluarga yang beragama dan sentiasa mengambil berat dalam mengamalkan ajaran Islam.

Many times during our day, things go exactly the way we want them to. Yet, when something doesn’t go according to the plan, we get upset. It happened to me two days ago, when I was giving a formal speech at CIC’s convocation ceremony and in front of me was the Deputy Minister, Ministry of […]
