YOURSAY | Loke appears hot favourite for DAP sec-gen’s post
Modified4:51 am
The Wakandan: Mild-mannered Anthony Loke is a diplomat compared to the fiery Lim Guan Eng. In terms of getting things done, both have their own good and bad points, which entirely depends on the time and place that their attributes would be most appropriate.
However, the DAP change of guard can be a good thing to avoid being dominated by the same leadership perpetually and to allow new leaders, ideas and styles to prevail.
FellowMalaysian: Loke isn t picked to become the next DAP leader overnight as there is no shortage of able leaders capable of helming and taking the party to the next generation.
Apology to Hong Leong Bank FMT Reporters
On May 10, 2021, FMT published an article titled
“Hong Leong Allegedly Upset Over Order to Close HQ Due to HIDE” (“the Article”).
The Article was premised on information provided by a source who we believed to be in the know. However, we made an error in failing to seek clarification from Hong Leong Bank prior to publication.
As such, we removed the Article, which was published in both English and Bahasa Malaysia, from our portal and social media at 5.18pm on May 10, and retract all statements made therein.
We apologise to Hong Leong Bank Bhd for any distress, injury, embarrassment and inconvenience caused to the bank by the publication of the Article.

Growing up in a family of different cultures, I always wondered why my late mother spoke to each of her siblings in different dialects.
My grandfather was an immigrant from Bangladesh who spoke Bengali and Gujarati fluently. He learnt how to converse in Bahasa Malaysia when he was offered a contract to work as a general practitioner in a health clinic on an estate during the colonial days in Malaya.
He got married to a beautiful Peranakan lady from Penang who only spoke Hokkien and Cantonese. At that point, my grandparents were so much in love that they saw no difference in their union that could not be overcome. They raised seven children and practised multilingualism as simply a way of life.

MCO 3.0: This Local Company Is Setting Out To Help Students From M’sia’s B40 Community & We’re Getting All The Feels!
Published 3 weeks ago
Ever since the MCO was implemented last year, many Malaysians have been struggling with the shift in lifestyle and having to work or study from home. Not only does this mean having to change the way we function, but some Malaysians are also not as fortunate when it comes to the resources needed for this type of situation.
From the lack of electronic gadgets to slow internet connection, these are just some of the concerns that many students have been facing, especially ones from the B40 community. Thankfully, this local company has noticed the plight of the underserved and they are determined to lend a helping hand.
