PETALING JAYA: The bunga raya does not only give Malaysia a national identity but symbolises the unity of its people in achieving a common goal, say Malaysians.
More needs to be done to promote Malaysia’s symbols – our national flower, the hibiscus, and the merbau as our national tree. The National Landscape Department is urging local authorities to grow more hibiscus along roads and in places of interest while it will also promote the merbau tree as part of our natural heritage.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to spill the beans about their time within the Royal Family in an upcoming interview with Oprah Winfrey. In the two-hour special airing on ITV on Monday, the couple are expected to talk about their difficulty dealing with public and press scrutiny, which they have touched on in previous interviews. In a clip released this week, Harry said he feared “history repeating itself” in reference to his late mother Princess Diana.

ON house-to-house visits at a village in Bingkor, Keningau, an assistant councillor told me: “The drains in Sabah are like the drains in the peninsula in the 1990s”.
I had been working in Kg Tunku rep Lim Yi Wei’s office for slightly more than a month when she had first mentioned our office flying over to help campaign for one of the Warisan seats for the Sabah elections.
Fast forward a week and a half later, we were carrying 25kg of campaign t-shirts each and hurriedly checking in to our 6.40am flight.
Once we were in Bingkor, following the agenda that day, we were en route to the Bunga Raya subdistrict when one of the campaigners, Joyce, asked “Have you seen this yet? I think you might want to take a photo of this”, while stopping her car at a junction.
