MP SPEAKS | We pride ourselves on being a nation that values family, community, and the future of our children. Yet, in the vast, unregulated expanse of the internet, our children are under siege. Predators are lurking in digital shadows, exploiting the anonymity and reach of social media to groom, manipulate, and harm the most innocent among us. This is not just a global issue; it is a Malaysian crisis.

MP SPEAKS | The recent remarks by Perak PAS chief Razman Zakaria have raised significant concerns about the suitability of PAS as a leading political force in Malaysia.

MP SPEAKS | In recent years, a disturbing trend of anti-intellectualism has taken root in Malaysia, driven by certain political opportunists. Education is fundamental to propelling any country to greater heights, and this trend poses a grave threat to our nation’s progress. Instead of fostering a culture of critical thinking and knowledge, some leaders resort to fear-mongering tactics, effectively dumbing down the populace for political gain.
