Growing concern over obesity
by Muzli Mohd Zin

MY mother-in-law is worried at the rate my two boys are growing — sideways, of course.

“Aren’t they too plump for their (body) frames?” I overheard her asking my wife over breakfast when she visited us recently.

Improving the system from within

RUDI, as our friendly gardener is fondly called, is an Indonesian.

He comes to our kampung house once a month to cut grass with his wife and five-year-old son in tow, helping him to sweep the compound after he finishes his cutting.

Society without conscience, people without shame
by Muzli Mohd Zin

PUBLIC apathy has reared its ugly head, yet again.

In fact, this time around, I must say this sickening tidak apa attitude among city folk has revealed one of its worst forms to us, Malaysians.

Winning over the young voter
by Muzli Mohd Zin
ARMAN, my 23-year-old nephew, has made up his mind.

“I decided to vote in the coming general election. I already registered as a voter, and I would want to exercise my rights and make my vote count,” the marketing executive with a private company, with pride in his voice, said over breakfast at his family home in Sri Damansara last Saturday.

Done in by our overdependence
by Muzli Mohd Zin
TWO weeks ago when this column highlighted that the prolonged delay of Indonesian maid placement in our country had evolved into another crisis after a suspension threat by Indonesian authorities following unconfirmed abuse cases of two maids, some readers said I was overreacting.

Maid abuse a working couple's bane
by Muzli Mohd Zin
SAIRA (not her real name) from east Java, Indonesia, had week-old burn marks on the arms when we first met at my cousin’s home in Subang Jaya last June.

Early in the morning that day, the 31-year-old had knocked on my cousin’s front gate, pleading for help and shelter. She had run away from her employer in the neighbourhood and had nowhere to go.

Getaway for a runaway
by Muzli Mohd Zin
I RECEIVED an unexpected guest at my kampung house in Janda Baik, Pahang on Friday night. It was past 9pm and my family were having a late dinner with our invited guests after arriving there a couple of hours earlier when Danial (not his real name) popped up.

DAP reps should provide proof
by Muzli Mohd Zin
TERLAJAK perahu boleh diundur, terlajak kata badan binasa, so goes a Malay proverb to remind us to think twice before saying anything.

My parents, when I was under their wings, always used it to remind me to watch what I said about other people as I might hurt their feelings and they would remember me for that.

We could all be better Malaysians
by Muzli Mohd Zin
I REMEMBER several years ago, before moving to my current Medan Damansara home, I was caught in a “war” of sorts between neighbours.

It all started when one of them picked up an interest in playing electric guitar, and started practising and showcasing the skills he learned from his music classes at home.

Future not bright enough for science
by Muzli Mohd Zin

PUTRAJAYA is “a bit” concerned that we don’t like science. How funny.

Seriously, how many of us really enjoyed science subjects at school?
How unlettered are we?

I READ with disbelief and concern a report in a local daily yesterday that some students chosen for National Service training last year were found to be illiterate.

For those who missed it, The New Straits Times, in one of its cover stories. revealed more than 1,000 out of 11,000 students chosen to undergo the training from last year’s third batch could not read, write and count.

The cousins, the hero and villain
by Muzli Mohd Zin

I AM following with great amusement the on-going brouhaha surrounding PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu's alleged communist remarks in his reference to the 1950 Bukit Kepong tragedy.

The politician, amidst raging criticisms from many quarters, denied he glorified communist insurgents, labelling them as heroes, who in their attack on the police station killed 25 police personnel and their families.

Mohamad Sabu, who received the backings from some Pakatan Rakyat leaders and non-governmental organisations, claimed he was misunderstood.

Out of wedlock, not out of reach
by Muzli Mohd Zin

LAST week, we hosted a special guest, a young mother who had given birth to a healthy baby girl three days earlier, at our house.

She was special because she needed temporary shelter and proper attention and care to swiftly recover before heading for her kampung to ask for forgiveness. She was also special because she was resolute that her baby deserved a better environment to grow and live – a sacrifice that only few can understand. She gave her baby, born out of wedlock, away to a very happy couple.
