RE-DELINEATION and gerrymandering were much talked about when Pakatan Harapan (PH) was in the Opposition but one wonders why after forming the Federal government, there are no efforts to get things right. To provide some background to the uninitiated, re-delineation (according to TindakMalaysia ) is 'a constitutional process in delimiting electoral boundaries to ensure electors (voters during elections) receive fair representation of their voting preferences.' Sensing the potential re-delineation exercise that could have taken place in 2011 (for Peninsular Malaysia), volunteers of Tindak Malaysia, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) founded in 2008, spent time and resources to learn up re-delineation, worked on proposals for alternative fair electoral boundaries and some without any knowledge even attended re-delineation objector training.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 7 — Malaysia is experiencing yet another haze crisis believed to be due to the forest fires in some parts of Indonesia. However, Jakarta has denied detecting any smoke drifting over its borders into its neighbour. Air quality has hit unhealthy levels in several parts of Malaysia in the past few days. And with haze comes serious risks to public health and impending implications on the healthcare system should the situation prolong. According to consultant public health physician Dr Feisul Idzwan Mustapha, haze contains tiny particles with toxic substances that can enter the lungs and be absorbed into the bloodstream.

From the moment the first group of black-clad fighters crossed the border fence from Gaza into southern Israel, it was clear that this was an extraordinary moment of success, however bloody and fleeting, for Hamas. It was also clear that they could not have done it alone. How could this have happened? How could a terrorist group operating in a 140-square-mile patch of land, hemmed in by Israeli and Egyptian blockades and the Mediterranean, break through and launch a brazen and effective attack on one of the best-funded and most developed militaries in the Middle East? The group, which has roots in the Muslim Brotherhood, was formed in 1987 at the beginning of the first Palestinian intifada, or uprising.

Across the globe, amidst tranquil waters and bustling ecosystems, lie unique and often overlooked wonders: floating islands. These buoyant masses of vegetation, peat, and organic matter drift atop water bodies, providing habitats for a myriad of species and capturing the imagination of those fortunate enough to witness them. Typically found in marshlands, lakes, and various wetlands, these islands can span vast areas. Often referred to as tussocks, floatons, or suds, they are composed of vegetation thriving atop a buoyant mat of plant roots or other organic detritus.

THE forces are starting to align to push President Biden out of the way in 2024 – leaving understudy Kamala Harris as the next weak link on the Democratic chain. But despite Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton's best efforts, it won't be so easy to push Harris out. The historic prospect of the first woman president – of Black and South Asian descent no less – taking office should buttress the vice president as she seeks the party mantle in the Oval Office. If Biden is forced to leave the White House early, and that seems more and more likely as every day goes by, that will give Harris time to establish herself before the election and reestablish her credibility with voters.
