Antara Diam dan Pembebasan: Menilai Semula Kenetralan ASEAN
Pada tahun 2025, Malaysia sekali lagi memegang tampuk Pengerusi ASEAN—buat kali kelima dalam sejarah. Kali ini, ia bertepatan dengan ulang tahun ke-70 Persidangan Bandung 1955, satu detik bersejarah yang menyatukan solidariti Afro-Asia dalam menentang penjajahan dan imperialisme. Namun ironisnya, pada tahun yang sama, pentadbiran Presiden Trump mencetuskan ‘perang perdagangan’ terhadap seluruh dunia—termasuk pulau-pulau terpencil yang hanya dihuni penguin—sekali gus menyingkap wajah sebenar sistem kapitalis global yang masih terikat pada warisan kolonial dan dominasi imperialis yang dipimpin oleh Amerika Syarikat.

Inviting trouble: Data centre investments not worth it
As data centres increasingly faced growing bipartisan pushback in the US, developers have turned to developing countries, thus ‘outsourcing’ problems to poorer nations with even more limited resources

Shouting After the Rain: Why We Can Be Solving the Wrong Problems
This article explores how misdiagnosing problems leads to ineffective or harmful solutions. Through personal experience and examples, the Cobra Effect, WWII aircraft strategy, and education policy, it emphasizes the need for awareness, accurate diagnosis, and outcome-based incentives. True progress begins with asking: are we solving the real problem?
