Usually on the eve of Christmas some of us would be
hoping for Santa Claus to come into their houses bringing gifts. But I
had a very different experience during the last Christmas eve. I was
invited by YB Dr Mujahid Yusuf Rawa, PAS MP for Parit Buntar, to speak
at an event in his constituency on the evening of 24 December 2014.
Since I was planning to ‘balik kampung’ to Perlis during the school
holidays anyway, I duly accepted the invitation.

On Jan 1, Malaysia officially began its year-long chairmanship of the
Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean), succeeding Myanmar.
This event did not exactly dominate headlines and understandably so.
Malaysians at the time were (and still are) grappling with the floods
in many states, the tragic loss of Indonesia AirAsia flight QZ8501 and
question marks over the future of our economy in light of tumbling oil
prices.

SINCE the new year thousands of people have died in terrorist acts of
violence around the world. However, incidents in and around Paris that
resulted in the deaths of 17 people last week received huge amounts of
media coverage and triggered a march of over two million people, while
victims elsewhere – possibly more than 2,000 around Baga in
northeastern Nigeria at the hands of Boko Haram – got scant media
attention, and certainly no marches in Abuja (there’s a presidential
election campaign going on instead).

The budget department of the government’s treasury must surely be in
panic mode at present, given that global oil prices have fallen by
about half since the 2015 budget was announced, and especially since
oil and gas takings contribute 30% of total national revenues.
