Then, on 13th May 1975, in the very next match against English opposition, Malaysia scored its first and only victory, 2-0 over Arsenal, both scored by the late Mokhtar Dahari, ...
Following the pattern of previous mum’s day celebrations, it should follow in the same vein this year: dinner at a good, seaside seafood restaurant, usually accompanied by good banter and much laughter, and after that, a visit to a local nightspot, probably SS this time round. Getting coupons on mom’s flowers this May is an ...

Aquabella Water International has installed a water purification plant at Perdana Park, Tanjung Aru which supplies free water to everybody. It claims that the drinking water there is the “safest and purest water technically possible.” Very convenient, especially for joggers utilising the track. I can’t see any sign that says one is limited to small ...

That record is likely to be broken this year, when bidding for the number WWW 1 starts 30th April. It’s expected to reach RM500,000, because even now there ...
Blame it on Mr Bean – when this hymn was sung at Sacred Heart Cathedral (Kota Kinabalu) during Easter Vigil on the evening of 7th April, I could not help but chuckle a little bit. The hymn’s actual title is “Ye watchers and ye holy ones“, written by Athelstan Riley (19th century?), an Anglo-Catholic. Happy ...

My experience: On 30th March 2012, security personnel at the entrance to the Kepayan police headquarters didn’t tell me about this so ...
