Majority of Malaysians fully support MACC. There is no need to form the National Integrity and Good Governance Department (JITN). It would be a total waste of money and resources. MACC is doing a good job. – N.V. Subbarow, Penang
A few days ago, there was a letter in The Star calling for justice for bankrupts. We hope Budget 2018 will resolve this matter once and for all and bring cheer to all. – JK Please do not forget the pensioners, Mr PM.
Gentleman rocker with a heart of gold, Tom Petty blazed the trail in the 1970s with the Heartbreakers, enjoyed a stunning individual career and sauntered along in the 1980s with the star-studded Travelling Wilburys. Though there was darkness, he shone on and didn’t back down. His classics like American Girl, I Won’t Back Down, Free Fallin’ and Runnin’ Down A Dream will live on. – 5th Beatle
We pray for those affected by hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico that they are given adequate aid both physical and emotional. – MAM

Please do not bring politics into schools. Students should be helped with their education. No political party should impose their political agenda into their minds. Leave our children alone, please. – MCR

Rohingya and other women, men and children are being killed all over the world today. Top-level government representatives keep saying “We condemn the situation at the highest level” but at the end of the day, nothing concrete is done!
> Looking good
Congratulations to The Star for the “new look”, which I think is great, and also thank you for the return of the TV Guide in Star2.
> Better but expensive
Incinerators are the best solution to landfills provided tipping fees are not above the current RM40 per tonne. Incinerators are expensive due to high operational costs. – Prof (B)
