KUALA LUMPUR : Datuk Lee Hwa Beng’s story is an inspiring one, especially for those who believe there are not enough opportunities to be successful in life.
Born in Kampung Tehel, Bemban, Malacca, Lee did not allow factors such as poverty deter him, overcoming the odds to earn professional accounting qualifications and setting up his own accounting firm.
With a longtime family involvement with the MCA, Lee rose to high office.

KUALA LUMPUR: The long-awaited MCA division elections are over but the results have not helped in making the picture on national-level polls this October any clearer.
A day after the polls involving 191 divisions, party campaigners are still analysing the results of the elections.
Most of the national-level aspirants claim that the results favour them but the more cautious ones say they need a little time to digest the results.
MCA division polls on Sunday sprang two surprises in the contest for the Kelana Jaya and Bukit Bintang division chief posts.

THERESA Ratnam Thong, a new councillor with the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ), is no stranger to Subang Jaya. In fact, she thinks her position is an extension of what she had been doing previously.
The only difference is that now she has been given the mandate to do so. Previously, she acted as a liaison committee member between the MPSJ and residents through the Residents Committee (JKP) Zone 1 to see to people’s grievances and ensure that services promised were provided.

I CALL them the idealists and the apathetic. Poles apart though they seem, there is only one major difference. The apathetic are the disillusioned idealists.
I AM a Malaysian citizen and I’ve always been following closely the development of politics and politician in our country.
I am sorry to say that all of them are the same whether they are in the Opposition or the ruling party. Their one and only goal seems to be their personal agendas.
Day after day, all you can see and hear in the media is the conflicts among them. None of the politicians seem genuine in wanting to find a way to make Malaysia a better place to live.
