WELSH Secretary Simon Hart visited Newport yesterday to talk up his party s plans to revive the M4 relief road project. The Welsh Conservatives have pledged to build the 23-kilometre stretch of motorway should they win power in May s Senedd election, reversing the decision made by first minister Mark Drakeford in 2019. Mr Hart, who lives in West Wales and spends much of his working week in London, told the Argus businesses and motorists who travel through Newport on the existing motorway can t carry on as we are . The Conservatives in both Wales and Westminster argue the Brynglas tunnels present a bottleneck on the M4, causing traffic chaos and stifling the regional economy.

Almost 30 years ago, about 1,000 Malaysians, including Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, wrote a story together. This was The Great Malaysian Novel, a project organised by
The Star.
I was motivated to write about it after reader Lim Kuan Cheen, noting that
The Star was celebrating its 50th anniversary, posted on his Facebook saying he remembered a story writing campaign in the mid-1980s that started with a chapter and the whole nation was invited to continue the story”.
