THE national census takes place once every 10 years and records both Malaysians and foreigners living in the country. The ongoing Malaysia Population and Housing Census (Census 2020) is a valuable opportunity for the public to directly participate in national policymaking. The data collected in the census is also an important means for the public to voice out their concerns, says Census 2020 Commissioner Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin. Conversely, there will be a negative impact on the implementation of policies if there is any weakness in census data. “I would like to thank all those who have already contributed to Census 2020.
A POPULAR piece of fake news making the rounds is the one involving two top business personalities and a valuer. Their names need no mentioning to add more credence to the rumour but suffice to say, I know all three personally. While public figures are immune to fake news, especially on social media, not everyone can handle it. Social media has been a boon as well as bane. Knowing my background as a reporter engaged in print, online and social media, clients sometimes tell me that they only swear by advertising in social media.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian opposition politician Dmitry Gudkov, held in custody for two days this week, has accused authorities of arresting him and other Kremlin critics on trumped-up charges in a bid to stop them running in September's parliamentary election. Gudkov, who denies any links to the property, told Reuters in an interview on Friday that the charges against him were designed to curb his political ambitions. The Kremlin has said recent arrests of politicians such as Gudkov have nothing to do with politics, and denies trying to clear the field of political opponents. Gudkov's arrest on Tuesday coincided with that of Andrei Pivovarov, another opposition figure, who was removed from a flight about to leave for Poland. A new law signed by President Vladimir Putin on Friday bars members of "extremist" groups from running for office.

Nadarajah said that his brother truly deserved the appointment as he was a hardworking and helpful person by nature. Chris' parents pooled their savings together to fund their son's journey to the United Kingdom.
Washington: China’s Zhang Xinjun showed a welcome return to form by firing two eagles for a four-under 68 in the second which propelled him to a tied 15th place at the Memorial Tournament. The China star made four other birdies against just as many bogeys to put himself in position for back-to-back top-10s in the PGA Tour tournament hosted by Jack Nicklaus following his T10 last season. Zhang’s two-day total of three-under 141 sees him trailing second round clubhouse leader Patrick Cantlay by five strokes. Cantlay, a three-time Tour winner, fired a 67 for an eight-under 136 total to put himself in prime spot to win the Memorial Tournament for a second time in three years.

Malaysia has a bigger problem than Political Frogging - Political Crabbing. To understand the Crab Culture, one first need to get familiar with the Crab Theory or better known as the "crabs in a bucket phenomenon”. This “if I can’t have it, neither can you” approach is classic Crab Culture. Our unfortunate Crab Culture that may eat up our nation if we remain unconscious and continue as we are. Even decent lawmakers are dragged down or simply drown out and trampled by the Crab Culture.
For a course on good leadership, few books can match the Chinese classic, Sunzi’s The Art of War. Teaching good leadership may, however, be difficult in an age and in countries where that is strikingly missing. Let me first concede that this article is merely a call for the adoption of an approach rather than a penetrative analysis of what bad leadership looks like. The good leader, Sunzi further tells us, secures his base first. I feel tempted at this point to introduce another approach to defining bad leadership.
