The inaugural episode of Coke Studio 15 featured a collaboration between Noman Ali, Babar Mangi, Marvi, and Saiban. However, what is evident is that Coke Studio 15’s vision transcends genres and singular sonic motif. By introducing Star Shah and Zeeshan Ali to the growing roster of artists who have amassed significant followings since their debut on the show across various seasons and under different producers, Coke Studio has effectively addressed the lingering questions raised after Coke Studio 14. With its first two episodes, Coke Studio 15 has offered clarifications: it aims not to replicate the success of its predecessor and create room for narratives and stories absent in previous seasons. Coke Studio 15 stands as a testament to the ever-evolving tapestry of Pakistani music, weaving together threads of tradition and innovation into a vibrant mosaic that captures the spirit of the nation.

President William Ruto has made a commendable decision to postpone the reopening of schools until further notice. The postponement of reopening provides a critical window of opportunity to address pressing concerns. This decision acknowledges the plight of flood victims currently sheltered in schools. The postponement also allows crucial time for repairing damaged school infrastructure and roads, which have been adversely affected by the inclement weather. We ask the Ministry of Education to direct schools to safely send back home students who had already reported to school.

HULU SELANGOR: Indian voters in Kuala Kubu Baharu should vote wisely and not be swayed by "outside influence", says MIC president Tan Sri SA Vigneswaran. Vigneswaran said the Indian community should give the government a chance to solve issues over the next three years. "If issues are still not solved, then you are free to decide (again)," he said. Former Penang deputy chief minister P. Ramasamy is currently leading the United for the Rights of Malaysians party (Urimai) and had urged Indian voters to snub Pakatan in the KKB by-election. In August last year, Ramasamy left DAP after he was not named as a candidate in the Penang state polls in 2023.

It is now emerging that wrangles within the leadership of the Kenya Medical Practitioners Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) could be derailing the signing of a return-to-work formula as directed by the courts. In the ruling given on Thursday, the courts directed the warring parties to sign the return-to-work formula presented before it and thus the government side stuck to it. However, according to the union, their document is the same, but now contains timelines, which it wants the government to honour, insisting they had no different document. The doctors had asked for a 10 AM meeting on Monday, but the court’s directive says the return-to-work formula should be deposited in court by 9:30 AM Monday. Government also accuses the doctors of insincerity in dealing with the talks as every time they agree, the doctors council seems to negate the talks.

[Stafford Ondego, Standard]Opposition leader Raila Odinga wants President William Ruto to declare the ongoing flood crisis a national disaster to enhance the level of response. “Declare the flooding a national disaster so that emergency steps can kick in in the entire nation. Foreign nations cannot offer help without us declaring it a national disaster,” Raila said during a food donation drive organised by his Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition party in Mukuru, Nairobi Friday.

Efforts to resolve the protracted doctors' strike hit another snag on Friday, May 3, as talks between government officials and the doctors union collapsed again, prolonging a healthcare crisis that has gripped the nation for over seven weeks now. The breakdown threatens to extend the strike, potentially mirroring the severity of the 2017 healthcare standoff that endured for a daunting 100 days. However, efforts proved futile as the doctors' union remained unyielding. Despite the emergence of a proposed agreement outlining the terms for ending the strike, including the immediate suspension of the strike and the return to work of union members, the doctors' union remained steadfast in their stance. According to Davji, the proposal have timelines that the doctor’s union is uncomfortable with.
