UALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar
Ibrahim was yesterday appointed
Malaysia’s 10th prime minister, five
days after the 15th general election
(GE15) that resulted in none of the three
coalitions securing a simple majority threshold
of 112 seats in the 222-seat Parliament.
He took his oath of office at 5pm at Istana
Negara after having secured majority support
from many other political parties that joined
him to form a unity government.
A media statement issued yesterday by
Comptroller of the Royal Household of Istana
Negara Datuk Seri Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin
said the appointment was finalised after the
Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah
Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah deliberated
the opinions of the Malay Rulers, who convened
a special meeting at Istana Negara yesterday to
make the best decision in the interests and for
the well-being of the country and the people.
As soon as news of his appointment broke,
Bursa Malaysia reacted strongly, with the FBM
KLCI jumping 1.9% (27.56 points) to 1,471.06.
The bourse closed 4.04% (58.38 points)
higher at 1,501.88, with a turnover of 6.865
billion shares valued at RM4.196 billion.
The ringgit jumped 1.45% to 4.50 against the
US dollar at 2.57pm, from yesterday’s close of
4.5725.

The impasse that followed GE15 saw
Perikatan Nasional (PN), led by Tan Sri
Muhyiddin Yasin and Pakatan Harapan (PH),
led by Anwar, both claiming to have majority
support to form the government.
In the general election, PH garnered 82
seats, the highest number, followed by PN (73),
Barisan Nasional (BN) (30), Gabungan Parti
Sarawak (23), Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (six),
Warisan (three), Parti Bangsa Malaysia and
Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat
(one each), as well as independents (two).
In the subsequent days of high drama,
Muhyiddin spoke to the media and claimed to
have submitted 115 names to the Palace.
He also rejected outright a proposal from
the King for PN to form a unity government
with PH.
However, in a turn of events yesterday, PN
secretary-general Datuk Seri Hamzah
Zainudin said the coalition’s supreme council
agreed yesterday to “consider” the proposal to
form a unity government with “like-minded”
parties. But the decision came a little too late.
On Wednesday night, Umno secretary-
general Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan said the
party supported the idea of being part of a
unity government, as proposed by the King,
but one that is not led by PN.
He said the BN supreme council had
unanimously decided to support and uphold
the proposal by the King for the coalition to
consider participating in a unity government
to ensure that a stable and prosperous
government can be formed.
However, that government must not be led
by PN, he added.
Reacting to Anwar’s appointment, Bersih
chief Thomas Fann said the election watchdog
is glad that the impasse on the appointment of
a new prime minister has been resolved.
“We hope that Anwar will be a prime
minister for all Malaysians, even those who did
not vote for him or PH.
“It is time for our nation to heal from
decades of division over race and religion and
I hope he, with the support of BN, will start
that process. It is a new day for Malaysia and
hopes are high for everyone,” he said.
Taylor’s University School of Media and
Communication senior lecturer Dr Benjamin
Y.H. Loh said the government should focus on
7 ‘Cohesion between govt and civil servants vital’ -p4
improving the media environment.
“The attempt by the previous PH
government to create a media council was
commendable, but it languished. My hope (as
a media scholar) is that the new government
will see it through this time, which will benefit
Malaysian society as a whole.
“While all governments in Malaysia should
be inclusive, the fact that Anwar has
highlighted that there are clear divisions in our
society (as played up by certain quarters) is
praiseworthy.
“With Anwar finally at the helm, it will be
interesting to see the full extent of his inclusive
policies, which will benefit all Malaysians and
not a select few,” he said.
Economic Action Council executive
director Prof Tan Sri Dr Noor Azlan Ghazali
expressed hope that Anwar will commit to a
comprehensive programme to transform the
national economy.
“This includes attending to the major
structural impediments that are long
recognised. (This means) the economy is to be
broadly fit and ready to compete globally and
be attractive as a destination for quality talents
and investments. (Additionally, he should)
assure the nation, all levels of
society and businesses that they
can take part and benefit from Turn to
growth. —
“Inclusivity is key in the way page 2

DAP says sorry to GPS, Sarawak premier
KUCHING: DAP has offered an
apology to the Sarawak government
and its people for any statement
made by its leaders that had
offended them.
The apology was conveyed by
DAP secretary-general Anthony
Loke to Sarawak Premier Tan Sri
Abang Johari Abang Openg in a
meeting at the latter’s residence
yesterday.
In a statement on social media,
Loke said the meeting was also
attended by Sarawak Deputy
Premier Datuk Seri Dr Sim Kui
Hian.
“I hope today’s meeting will
open a new chapter to build
understanding and cooperation for
the sake of a more developed and
progressive Malaysia.”
On Wednesday, Abang Johari,
who is Gabungan Parti Sarawak
(GPS) chairman and Parti Pesaka
Bumiputra Bersatu (PBB)
president, was given a briefing by
PBB senior vice-president Datuk
Seri Fadillah Yusof, who had earlier
led a GPS delegation for an
audience with the Yang di-Pertuan
Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah
Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah
Shah.
After the briefing, Fadillah was
reported to have said that GPS had
been advised by the King to
consider the establishment of a
unity government to end the
current political turmoil in the
country.
GPS, which is a coalition of four
parties in Sarawak, namely PBB,
Sarawak United People’s Party, Parti
Rakyat Sarawak and the Progressive
Democratic Party, won 23 of the 31
parliamentary seats in the state in
the recent general election.
DAP chairman Lim Guan Eng, in
a post on his Facebook page, also
extended an apology to Abang
Johari and the Sarawak government
for his remarks.
Lim said the future of the
country is more important and
expressed hope that his apology
would help make a fresh start to
forging cooperation.
“(This cooperation) will preserve
the diversity, inclusiveness and
unity as well as protect our Federal
Constitution for the benefit of all.”
Penang DAP chairman Chow
Kon Yeow said Loke did the right
thing to restore good faith with GPS
by issuing an open apology.
Chow said Pakatan Harapan is
trying to form a unity government
for the sake of the country and the
people and is putting the national
agenda above party and personal
feelings.
He also expressed hope that
Loke’s apology would be able to
restore good faith and good feelings

“Our state legislative assemblies

Selangor, Penang and Negri

The six states did not dissolve their

Amirudin said the six states had

ROMPIN: Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate for
the Tioman state seat Datuk Seri Mohd Johari

secure victory to enable the party to be in a tie

number of seats in the Pahang state assembly.
The 15th general election (GE15) results saw
BN winning 16 seats in Pahang, one seat behind
PN while Pakatan Harapan (PH) secured eight
seats, which resulted in a hung state assembly
as no party or coalition obtained a simple

Witness: 1MDB should have been told to work with Finance Ministry
KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib
Abdul Razak should have directed
former 1Malaysia Development
Berhad (1MDB) CEO Datuk Shahrol
Azral Ibrahim Halmi to cooperate
with the Finance Ministry, the High
Court heard yesterday.
Former Treasury Secretary-
General Tan Sri Mohd Irwan Serigar
Abdullah, 63, said Najib, who held
various positions including prime
minister, finance minister and
chairman of the 1MDB board of
advisors at the time, should have
been able to direct Shahrol in terms
of furnishing documents in relation
to the request for government
guarantees to Finance Ministry
officers.
Mohd Irwan said the 1MDB
management was not cooperative
when it came to providing
documents to the ministry and he did
mention to the former premier that
Shahrol was arrogant and kept
making excuses, but Najib did not say
anything in response.
He was replying during cross-
examination by Najib’s counsel Wan
Aizuddin Wan Mohammed at the
trial involving the misappropriation
of RM2.3 billion from 1MDB.
Wan Aizuddin: What did you expect
the PM to do? What sort of directives
was he supposed to issue (to
Shahrol)? That he call and tell
Shahrol to cooperate?
Mohd Irwan: Yes. As well as for him
(Shahrol) to provide the documents
requested by the Finance Ministry.
Earlier, Mohd Irwan gave an
example of his encounter with the
1MDB management when the
sovereign wealth fund provided the
Finance Ministry with a letter of
comfort (LoC), which looked like a
government guarantee (GG).
“They approached us with an LoC
equivalent to a GG. When my legal
officers and I went through it, we
discovered it was more like a GG,
which needs to be tabled to the
Cabinet. We needed a detailed
proposal, which was not provided.
“We (the Finance Ministry) told
them we need a detailed proposal but
they ignored our request. They said
they already briefed the then PM,”
said Mohd Irwan.
Wan Aizuddin then suggested
Najib cannot be blamed for 1MDB’s
attitude, to which Mohd Irwan
replied: “I am not sure how powerful
1MDB’s CEO is”.
Najib, 69, is facing four counts of
using his position to obtain bribes
totalling RM2.3 billion from 1MDB
and 21 counts of money laundering
involving the same amount.

self-inflicted, judge
says in abuse case
KUALA LUMPUR: The sessions court
yesterday found that a Down syndrome
teenager, known as Bella, suffered physical
and emotional injuries while under the care
of Rumah Bonda founder Siti Bainun Ahd
Razali.
When ordering Siti Bainun, 30, to enter
her defence to charges of neglecting and
abusing the teenager, judge Izralizam
Sanusi said if the accused had looked after
Bella well, the girl would not have endured
such pain.
“Based on the testimony of the
prosecution witnesses consisting of
medical experts from the Kuala Lumpur
Hospital who treated Bella and former
residents of Rumah Bonda, as well as the
photographs of Bella’s injuries and
recordings via mobile phones, I found that
the victim suffered physical and emotional
injuries while in the custody of the
accused.
Apart from that, Izralizam said a
resident at Rumah Bonda, Yasmin Nahar
Mahmood, stated in court that she felt it
was Siti Bainun who caused the burns on
Bella’s body by pouring hot water on the
girl.
“The testimony was supported by Dr
Nizam Malik, who opined that Bella’s
injuries were caused by abuse and it was
impossible (for them to be) self-inflicted or
caused by an accident because there were
many repeated burn injuries.”
Izralizam said the prosecution
succeeded in proving that the accused had
custody of Bella since July 14, 2020 and on
Sept 24 the same year, the court issued an
order for Bella to be placed in the custody of
the accused until the age of 18. – Bernama

Indonesia rescuers race to find dozens missing after quake
JAKARTA: Indonesian authorities deployed
heavy machinery, helicopters and thousands of
personnel yesterday in a desperate effort to
locate dozens trapped in rubble by an
earthquake that killed 271 people, as hopes of
finding survivors faded.
Some have been pulled alive from the hulk of
twisted metal and concrete in dramatic rescues
in the town of Cianjur in West Java, including a
six-year-old boy who spent two days under the
wreckage without food or water.
Officials said around 40 people are still

oDaily Covid-19 cases highest since pandemic began
BEIJING: China has ordered six million people
into lockdown in a city where violent protests
broke out at an iPhone factory over Covid
isolation policies and working conditions.
Hundreds of workers took to the streets
around the vast iPhone factory in Zhengzhou
on Wednesday, confronting hazmat-clad
personnel wielding batons in a rare display of
public anger in China.
In the wake of the unrest, Zhengzhou
authorities ordered mass testing and an
effective lockdown for several districts in the
central city starting today.
City centre residents cannot leave the area
unless they have a negative Covid test and
permission from local authorities, and are
advised not to leave their homes “unless
necessary”.
The restrictions will affect more than six
Musk floats ‘general amnesty’ of suspended Twitter accounts
WASHINGTON: New Twitter owner Elon Musk
on Wednesday polled users on whether the site
should offer a general amnesty to suspended

handle the case of Donald Trump.
The move comes as Musk faced pushback
that his criteria for content moderation is
subject to his personal whim, with
reinstatements decided for certain accounts
and not others.

seven-year-old girl, as rescue efforts were
delayed by hammering rains and aftershocks.
But the rescue of the young boy Azka alive,
captured on video, gave relatives and rescuers a
dash of optimism.
“Once we realised Azka was alive, everybody
broke into tears, including me,” 28-year-old
local volunteer Jeksen Kolibu said.
“It was very moving, it felt like a miracle.”
In the worst-hit district of Cugenang, scores of
rescue workers drilled yesterday through big
million people but do not cover the iPhone
factory, where workers have already been
under Covid restrictions for weeks.
One worker told AFP the protests had
begun over a dispute on promised bonuses at
the locked-down factory, run by Taiwanese
tech giant Foxconn.
Many workers were also incensed by
“chaotic” living conditions, said the worker,
who asked to remain anonymous.
Foxconn yesterday issued an apology,
blaming a “technical error” in its payment
systems for the salary issues and said it “fully
understands” the concerns of employees.
“The company will also try its best to
actively solve the concerns and reasonable
demands of employees.”

The poll mimicked the strategy used just
days ago for former US president Trump.
Trump’s Twitter account was reinstated on
Saturday after a narrow majority of
respondents supported the move.
Polls on Twitter are open to all users and are
unscientific and potentially targeted by fake
accounts and bots.
A blanket decision on suspended accounts
could potentially alarm government authorities
that are keeping a close look at Musk’s handling
of hate speech since he bought the influential
slabs of concrete and removed roof tiles at a
destroyed house where they believed a young girl
was buried, as her distraught mother watched.
Other rescuers used digging tools, hammers
and their bare hands to clear the debris in
hopes of finding seven-year-old Cika.
Her parents gave possible locations to
rescuers for the delicate mission.
“She was playing outside, I was cooking in
the kitchen. Suddenly, the earthquake
happened so fast ... only two seconds, my house
collapsed,” said her mother Imas Masfahitah.
which involves gruelling lockdowns, travel
restrictions and mass testing.
However, nearly three years into the
pandemic, Covid cases are now higher than
they have ever been in China.
There were 31,444 domestic cases on
Wednesday, the National Health Bureau
reported, the highest since the pandemic began.
The numbers are relatively small when
compared with China’s vast population of 1.4
billion, or global caseloads at the height of the
pandemic.
But under the zero-Covid policy, even small
outbreaks can shut down entire cities and place
contacts of infected patients into strict
quarantine.
The unrelenting zero-Covid push has
caused fatigue and resentment among swathes
of the population, sparking sporadic protests
and hitting productivity in the world’s
second-largest economy.

Kim’s sister slams
‘idiot’ South
Korean president
PYONGYANG: The powerful sister of
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has
described South Korea’s president and
government as “idiots” and a “faithful
dog of the United States”, state media
reported yesterday.
Kim Yo Jong’s vitriol follows Seoul this
week saying it was considering fresh
sanctions on the North over recent missile
tests, including an intercontinental
ballistic missile launch last week.
“This disgusting act shows more
clearly that the south Korean group is a
‘faithful dog’ and stooge of the US,” she
said in a statement carried by the Korean
Central News Agency.
“I wonder what ‘sanctions’ the south
Korean group, no more than a running
wild dog on a bone given by the US,
impudently impose on the DPRK,” she
said, using the acronym of the North’s
official name.
Pyongyang always refers to South
Korea with a lowercase “s”, an apparent
sign of disrespect.
Yo Jong accused South Korean
President Yoon Suk-yeol of creating a
“dangerous situation” and compared
him unfavourably to his more dovish
predecessor Moon Jae-in, under whom,
she said Seoul “had not been our target”.
“I wonder why the south Korean
people still remain a passive onlooker to
such acts of the ‘government’ of Yoon
Suk-yeol and other idiots.” – AFP

Defend our
multiracial
nation
WHILE the wheels of democracy are
spinning in the process of determining
which party or coalition will form the next
government, all Malaysians only wish for
an administration that reflects, promotes
and defends the concept of a multiracial
nation.
That was the hope and guiding
principle of our founding fathers, and
continues to be our common and
cherished hope for the future. We have
no other alternative.
We all came together to gain
independence in 1957 and then
formed Malaysia, giving hope and
direction to people of different races,
different faiths, different cultures and
living in different regions.
In that diversity, we have had a
large measure of success so far in
embracing unity. That unity was based
on the adherence to the five principles
of Rukun Negara – belief in God,
loyalty to King and country,
supremacy of the Constitution, Rule of
Law, and courtesy and morality. That
has also been the basis of our
secularism, which stands for no
discrimination and equal opportunity
for everyone to follow the religion of
their choice.
This is enshrined in the
Constitution, which guarantees the
rights of all races and communities.
These are the fundamentals which
must never be compromised,
irrespective of which party or coalition
forms the new government.
When it comes to politics, we
follow democratic principles and then
leave it to the wisdom of the Yang
di-Pertuan Agong to make the
appropriate decision on the choice of
a prime minister and administration.
In all my years in politics and even
later, I have always emphasised the
importance of the Rukunegara and
strongly advocated policies and
actions that were not discriminatory
nor exclusionary. And that is also my
aspiration for the future.
Let us not be divided by
parochialism, self-interest or
disharmony. What is at stake is the
future of our beloved nation.
Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye

COMMENT
Learning curve for Malaysia
I
T may not seem that way, but
Malaysian democracy has
progressed. Amid the dismay
over the recent political
wranglings and twists and turns,
there are valuable lessons we have
learnt as a society in our journey as a
democratic nation.
Lesson #1: Changing government
peacefully
A peaceful transition of government
cannot be taken for granted. When
five state governments were won by
the Federal Opposition in 2008,
there were fears of unrest and talks of
an Emergency being declared to
deny the result. But other than some
shredded documents and cleaned-
out offices, the state governments
changed hands without much ado.
That was an important precedent
that served us well in 2018 when
Pakatan Harapan (PH) became the
Federal government. And, however,
one views the morality of the
Sheraton Move in 2020, there was a
peaceful transition yet again when it
happened.
It is now clear for politicians, the
rakyat and civil servants alike that
changing governments is a normal
and peaceful occurrence. This
normality is precious and must be
reinforced and protected, even as
there are those who seek to stir up
racial and religious sentiments on
social media.
Lesson #2: Realistic manifestos
In 2018, PH had the most impressive
manifesto, however, the coalition
faced difficulties implementing
aspects of it, due in part to the
extensive promises that were made.
Make public transport attractive option
ACCORDING to statistics by the Transport
Ministry, the number of new vehicle
registrations in 2021 increased 2%, from
1,169,320 in 2020 to 1,192,592. This shows
that most Malaysians prefer to use private
transport rather than rely on the public
transport system to commute to work and
for travel. The major reason for this being
systemic flaws in public transportation.
A fine example is the massive
breakdown of the Kelana Jaya Light
Rail Transit line recently, which resulted
by Ding Jo-Ann
PH’s idealistic efforts, however, set a
high bar for future elections.
The three large coalition blocs
each produced detailed manifestos
this election that have been pored
over and analysed.
Being able to compare promises
and offer support for a coalition
based on their policies is another
growth in our maturity as a
democracy.
The next step would be for us to
also have the awareness to assess
whether the promises made are
realistic and whether the
government can afford them.
In some jurisdictions, civil
servants even provide support to the
Opposition prior to a general
election to help them assess the
feasibility and affordability of their
manifesto pledges.
Lesson #3: Hung Parliament =
Compromise
Malaysians have had to become
instant experts on constitutional
conventions and electoral systems in
the past few years. This time around,
we are learning about hung
Parliaments and how such situations
are resolved.
Although predicted by many
analysts, voters still seemed
surprised that the different parties,
sworn enemies before the election,
are now negotiating with each
other. This, however, is an
inevitability, given the results, and
on hindsight, a scenario that
political parties could have better
prepared their supporters for.
This is a new situation for us and
we are all learning together. Perhaps,
in the future, it would be sensible for
in an unprecedented week-long
service shutdown. Malaysians working
in the Klang Valley were enraged and
frustrated, had to pay extra for
e-hailing services, and were delayed
reaching their destinations.
Other problems include inefficient
services, and the companies running
them are mismanaged. To address
some of the issues like high density of
passengers and poor frequency, more
carriages should be added and
political parties not to swear against
working with Party A or Party B
pre-election, to avoid painting
themselves into corners post-
election.
Going back to Lesson #2
regarding manifestos, the parties
can negotiate on the basis of seeing
as many of their pledges
implemented as possible. This is
infinitely preferable to trying to
entice each other with positions and
power. Which brings us to
Lesson #4.
Lesson #4: Anti-hopping law helps
It has been a relief to see most
parties moving as a bloc and less
attempts to pick off individual MPs,
a-la the Sheraton Move, since the
anti-hopping law was enacted.
The hopping of individual MPs
from one bloc to another in 2020
disgusted many and resulted in
political apathy among the rakyat,
who came out in droves in the 2018
general election, only to see its
historic result overturned.
While there may be more
refinement needed of the law going
forward, its existence has helped to
create a more stable situation.
Lesson #5: The rakyat is boss
The most important lesson of all is
that we, the rakyat, are the boss of
the country.
Even five years ago, it seemed
unlikely that Barisan Nasional
would lose their majority in one
election and then their dominance
in the next.
The message to all political
parties is clear – there is no room for
complacency, the rakyat holds the
frequency increased, especially during
peak hours. Also, focus should be on
maintenance, particularly escalators
and ticket machines.
The Transport Ministry can also play
a pivotal role to ensure public
transport services are improved.
Furthermore, public transport
routes should be expanded to connect
urban and less urban cities. Ensure
frequency and punctuality of services
to promote usage of public transport.
power to change governments.
There have also been other
democratic reforms over the years,
after decades of advocacy and hard
work by the people. Laws like the
dreaded Internal Security Act have
been repealed.
The Bersih rallies did so much to
educate the public on electoral
reform and the power of peaceful
protest.
The judiciary is also on a surer
footing compared with the dark days
of the chief justice’s removal.
Our electorate is more engaged
than ever, with an impressive voter
turnout and the highest number of
votes cast in Malaysian history.
Better and worse
There are better and worse
Malaysias out there, and which path
we take depends on our actions
going forward, regardless of who is
in government.
Whoever becomes the prime
minister tomorrow, next month or
next year, we the rakyat must make
sure that we continue strengthening
our democratic processes and
institutions.
Democracy is alive and well in
Malaysia, and everyone can play a
part in keeping it that way.
We have much to be proud of,
and no one can take that away
from us.
We have come far, and we have
further to go.

Centre for Independent Journalism

E’VE all heard how
important it is to
support local
businesses. Buy locally,
eat locally, and travel locally.
However, shopping locally can be
challenging at times, whether in
terms of price, availability, or
convenience. Still, supporting local
businesses is worthwhile.
When you support local
businesses, you are not only helping
your community, but you are also
benefiting yourself. Check out these
reasons why going locally will
benefit you in the long run.
Enhance your country’s economy
Sucessful small companies benefit
the community and the local
economy. Investing in local
businesses provide many
advantages to the local economy.
Locally-owned companies, as
opposed to franchise stores, reinvest
a far larger percentage of their
revenue back into the local
economy.
Money spent on local companies
is reinvested in the community
where you live and work, thereby
supporting essential community
and national programmes. Local
businesses frequently give back to
the community in a variety of ways,
including donating, purchasing, and
financially supporting other non-
profit organisations.
Knowing that your taxes are
being reinvested in the community
and the city will give you peace of
mind when making a purchase.
Keeps prices lower
Supporting local businesses is the
best way to lower business expenses.
Because they are positioned in
central locations, local businesses
make effective use of resources,
including production and delivery
services. This allows them to keep
overhead costs lower, allowing for
more competitive prices.
More job opportunities
Local shopping not only helps to
build your local economy, but it also
helps to create additional
employment. These new roles might
be filled by friends, relatives, or
neighbours, particularly those who
would face significantly more
competition in a vast market.
Increased employment creation
will considerably benefit the
country’s economy. Gainfully
employed individuals will have
disposable income to spend on
food, clothes, entertainment and
services, which contribute to the
cycle of money within society.

oHere are our reasons why you should buy from and support small businesses around you
conduct business ethically.
You’ll get unique products
Shopping locally will give you
access to unique goods that you
may not be able to find from a mass-
produced product. You’ll discover
original takes on classic items or
completely original concepts that
result in something you didn’t even
know you needed until you saw
them in that store.
There are many local artisans
that incorporate their unique
perspectives, talents, and creativity
into their creations. If you take the
time to visit a local market event,
you’ll discover how these
individuals from the area give their
goods a character. And trust me, it
simply might brighten your day.
Small companies can develop into
major corporations
Shopping locally also benefits a
small business by assisting it to
develop into a larger organisation
that can support the community.

HEN people think about
travelling around
Malaysia, the first places
that come to mind are
Melaka, Penang Island, Langkawi, or
Genting. And if they decided to fly, it
would most likely be to Kota
Kinabalu, Sabah to visit Kundasang,
the New Zealand of Malaysia.
However, most would overlook
the other towns around Malaysia,
especially Kuching, Sarawak.
After finding out more about the
City of Cats (no, they don’t actually
have stray cats roaming around) and
deciding to give it a visit, I took the
chance and flew over for a week. To
my (not so) surprise, it was better
than expected.
Food in the city
As a Malaysian, it’s only right that I
talk about the food first. Kolo mee, a
staple around Kuching, ranges from
RM 5 to RM 7. The food in their
kopitiams is very affordable, and
don’t let the low price fool you,
because it surely does not lack in
flavour.
Kolo mee is curly egg noodles
drizzled with lard and shallot oil.
Coupled with minced meat and char
siew (barbecue pork), the shop that I
went to – Oriental Park Kolo Mee,
makes an excellent choice for
breakfast or brunch. And of course, I
had a bowl of Kolo Mee almost every
day for the entire week I was there.
Besides Kolo Mee, Kuching is also
known for its laksa and kuay chap,
and I had my fill at Lao Ya Keng
Foodcourt. As one of the signature
dishes of Kuching, the ubiquitous
laksa has a broth with the perfect
blend of spiciness, herbs, and
tanginess melded with the light
creamy taste of coconut milk.
Meanwhile, the kuay chap is a
Teochew noodle soup of flat, broad
rice sheets in a braised sauce made
from pig innards, tofu and braised
hard-boiled egg.
Besides the tantalising Teochew
food, other Chinese subgroups in
Kuching also include the Foochow
people. For authentic Foochow food,
I stopped by Estay Cafe, which is also
located in the city centre for some
knockout Kampua mee and the
unmissable red wine Mee Sua.
By foot, you can quickly walk from
Lao Ya Keng Foodcourt to the new
Borneo Cultures Museum, a modern
five-storey building with a distinctive
architectural design that reflects
Sarawak’s unique traditional crafts
and rich cultural heritage.
On level two, you can find the
Children’s Gallery and the Arts and
Crafts Gallery. The Children’s Gallery
is an interactive learning
environment with environmental
and sustainability exhibitions and
activities. As an adult, it was great fun
and my favourite part was laying
down on the bean bags with
headphones on, learning about how
they came up with the solutions for
different rivers around the world with
the dragonfly joystick.

square metres of exhibition space
and the theme is ‘In Harmony With
Nature’, which explores the history
and culture of local communities
such as the Ibans, Melanaus,
Bidayuhs, and Orang Ulus.
Nature around the corner
After touring around the city, don’t
overlook the interiors which are just a
30-minute drive away to visit their
wildlife and nature. Specifically,
catch a glimpse at orangutans in
Kuching’s Semenggoh Nature
Reserve for a day trip. Their
rehabilitation program has lasted for
30 years and the orangutans in the
centre have been released and are
considered to be wild, but there are
several feeding sessions a day when
the animals may come to one of the
main feeding platforms. When I got
there, it was my lucky day because
the entire orangutan family came up
close as they graze on the fruits and
vegetables. It was a spectacular
experience and definitely something
you shouldn’t miss.
You can find Annah Rais
Longhouse Homestay 60km outside
of Kuching. It is made up of a
traditional Bidayuh longhouse which
lies at the base of the majestic Borneo
Highlands. People have lived and
worked in the longhouse for
centuries, and there are three
different longhouses that you can
explore here called Kupo Terekan,
Kupo Saba, and Kupo Sijo which you
can go on a tour to learn about the
history and traditions of these
ancient buildings.
Of course, don’t forget to buy a

L
OCAL music pioneer Santesh
Kumar Sukumaran recently
stunned his fans by producing
24 songs in just 24 hours, with
the help of his extraordinary
production crew.
The 34-year-old singer and
composer set this unbreakable record
on Oct 24 by releasing 24 individual
tracks on the Rentak Angkasa
Youtube channel.
In a Skype interview with theSun,
Santesh – who hails from Golcoda
Estate in Kapar, Selangor – explained
his journey through the music
industry, and his inspirations.
Santesh’s dream to be a world
famous musician started from the
tender age of six. This could have
been largely due to the fact that both
his father and grandfather were
musicians as well.
His father led his own band, and
also played the keyboard and guitar.
The band was known as Sri Vani in
the 70s, and Sri Kalai Vani in the 90s.
Santesh actually began singing as
part of the band during his
kindergarten days.
His grandfather Ulaganathan,
known as ‘Ulaganathan Vathiyar’, was
a music teacher. During the 1950s
and 1960s, he composed music for
musical theatre productions on
harmonium, and led a drama troupe.
Santesh grew up hearing stories
about his grandfather and his musical
works from his father.
The success of local Indian rocker
Darkkey Nagaraja inspired Santesh to
pursue a career in music. A band
founded by Darkkey, known as The
Keys, released its debut album
Akkamage in 1996.
“I have been following the
progress of [bands in] the local music
industry since [the 1990s] and even
collect all their albums,” said Santesh.
Santesh adds that he keeps up oSantesh makes his mark in the Malaysia Book of Records by releasing 24 songs in 24 hours

IT’S BEEN a busy year for Honda Malaysia,

having started with the launch of the new
Honda Civic and then the HR-V, two popular
models that presently have long waiting lists.
And to end the year, the company has
launched an additional variant for the Civic -
the Civic RS e:HEV Hybrid.
There is already another Civic RS in the
range but without the e:HEV powertrain. But
by virtue of its price of RM166,5 00 (RM15,800
more than the Civic RS), the new variant is the
flagship of the range.
Incidentally, Malaysia is one of only three
countries in the world to have the e:HEV
version of the Civic Sedan, the others being
Thailand and China at this time.
The Civic e:HEV also comes with a bigger
engine size of 2-litres whereas the ones in the
City and new HR-V are 1.5-litres. However, in
spite of being bigger in displacement, the
engine is compact and so are the two electric
motors.
Together with a power-dense lithium-ion
battery pack that has a capacity of 1.05kWh,
the system output from the e:HEV system is
135Kw (equivalent to 184ps) and 315Nm.
The e:HEV system prioritises use of the
electric motor, especially when starting off,
Power-packed Civic
Honda Malaysia adds fourth hybrid model to its range
except when the battery level may be low.
Intelligent and sophisticated programming
allows the system to switch between pure
electric and engine drive modes, as well as a
combination of both.
An important advantage of a hybrid drive is
that no external recharging is necessary. This
means no worries about how far you can travel
as the battery pack will constantly be
recharged as the car moves.
Therefore, the range is only limited by the
petrol in the tank and that fuel is readily
available, unlike charging stations.
Structurally, the Civic e:HEV is the same as
the non-hybrid versions although there are
some differences and also an overall weight
difference of 100kgs, largely due to the hybrid
components.
But the centre of gravity is lowered by 10
mm, which is good for stability. This benefits
driving dynamics and ride quality.
The exterior differences between the Civic
RS e:HEV and Civic RS are not apparent at a
glance since both cars have similar
dimensions. However, the surface treatment of
the grille is different and the “H” badges (front
and rear) are encircled in blue.
More chrome is used, the most noticeable
being around the front and rear windows as
well as the door handles.
The 18-inch alloy wheels are also
differentiated with a dual-tone design instead
of being entirely black while at the rear end,
there is a single tailpipe finisher.
Inside too, there is similarity with the non-
hybrid model, with the metal honeycomb
mesh trim that stretches the full width of the
dashboard. It not only serves both form and
function but also hides the air vents.
While the centre display screen is the same
9-inch panel, the e:HEV version gets a wider
10.25-inch TFT instrument panel which can be
customised. Additional features include dual-
zone air-conditioning and wireless charging.
The Civic e:HEV also comes with a Key
Card that is the thickness of two credit cards. It
acts as a validator for locking/unlocking the
doors and starting the engine.
The Honda SENSING system, a suite of
active safety systems, no longer has a radar and
uses only a camera mounted at the top of the
windscreen.
This camera has a wider field of view for
better coverage and the software is also more
advanced to identify objects better and faster.
The new Civic e:HEV joins the local Honda
range as the fourth hybrid model. The
percentage of sales of hybrid variants remains
small – 5% for the City Sedan, 8% for the City
Hatchback and 11% for the HR-V. But Honda
Malaysia is confident that the numbers will
grow in time to come.
As electrification of cars picks up, hybrids
are the practical choice, especially for
Malaysia, and Honda offers a selection for you
to choose from.

The centre display

screen for the e:HEV
model has a wider
10.25-inch
instrument panel.

Unlike the City and HR-V e:HEV, the

hybrid system in the Civic e:HEV is
fitted with a larger 2-litre engine.

Volvo to sell only zero
emission EVs by 2030

T
WENTY YEARS after Volvo
introduced its first SUV, the
Swedish carmaker begins a
new era with a totally new
SUV that takes it into a fully electric
future.
The new EX90 is the first of a
series of models that will enter the
market at the rate of one per year.
Volvo has declared that by 2030, it
will sell only zero emission electric
vehicles – one of the most ambitious
electrification blueprints in the
automotive industry.
The standard safety in the 7-seat
EX90 is higher than any Volvo model
before it. It has intelligence which is
enhanced over time as it learns from
new data and receives updates.
There’s also an invisible shield of
safety enabled by the latest sensing
technology.
State-of-the art sensors like
cameras, radars and lidar (Light
Detection and Ranging) are
connected to the EX90’s high-
performance core computers, where
NVIDIA DRIVE runs Volvo Cars’ in-
house software to create a real-time,
360° view of the world.
Lidar sensors are able to scan the
road ahead in all lighting conditions
at high and low speeds.
While the focus of sensors in other
vehicles has been outwards, the EX90
also has sensors that scan the inside
of the vehicle.
Special sensors and cameras
monitor for distraction, drowsiness
or other inattentiveness, with actions
taken when necessary.
With the advanced and extensive
array of sensors, the EX90 is the first
Volvo that’s hardware-ready for
unsupervised driving in the future.
So in regions where autonomous
motoring is permitted, the EX90 will
be ready for use immediately.
As 5G starts to be available in
more countries, the EX90 will have
the high-speed connectivity available
as well. The EX90 comes with phone
key technology as standard. The
smartphone serves as the “key” and
automatically unlocks the car.
A 14.5-inch centre screen on the
dashboard is the command centre
providing information as well as
entertainment. It comes with Google
built in so many will already be
familiar with the interface and use of
apps.
The focus on the sensor
technologies overshadows the
propulsion system which Volvo only
touches on briefly. The initially
available twin-motor AWD version is
powered by a 111kWh battery pack
and two permanent magnet electric
motors together generating up to
380kW (517ps) and 910Nm of torque
in the highest performance version.
Volvo says that the EX90 will be
able to travel up to 600km on a single
charge. Recharging of the battery
pack from 10% to 80% will be under
30 minutes, presumably using a high-
speed charging station.
Production of the EX90 will begin
in 2023 in the USA and then in China.

Impressive 6th generation Impreza

THIRTY YEARS AGO, at the Los
Angeles Auto Show, Subaru launched a
new model called the Impreza, the only
vehicle in the compact class at the time
to offer all-wheel drive.
This year, at the very same event, the
carmaker launched the 6th generation
of the model which had also laid the
foundation for the legendary WRX, the
performance car with rally
championships spanning 4 decades.
For this new generation, Subaru has
dropped the sedan bodystyle and will

generation’s hatchback, the new body
style is less bulbous with sportier looks

and styling elements like the new
Crosstrek.
The Subaru Global Platform began
with the 5th generation Impreza in
2016 and continues to be used for all
the brand’s models, including the new
Impreza.
It has been enhanced with 10%
higher torsional rigidity. A full inner
frame construction and additional
structural adhesive contribute to better
body rigidity and lighter weight. The
updated architecture gives improved
dynamic performance, a smoother ride
and quieter cabin.
The new Impreza also comes with a
2.5-litre 183bhp engine – Boxer, of
course. It is paired with a Lineartronic
CVT featuring an 8-speed manual mode
with steering wheel paddle shifters.
Besides the 2.5-litre engine,

Bumi Armada’s
third-quarter results
KUALA LUMPUR: Bumi Armada Bhd’s
net profit declined to RM149.72 million
in the third quarter ended Sept 30, 2022
(Q3’22) from RM153.41 million in the
same quarter last year due to a
downward revision in the estimated
residual value of its vessels.
Revenue in Q3’22 increased to
RM653.07 million from RM517.92
million previously, mainly due to higher
progress of completion of the Subsea
Construction contract work in the

year.
“Operating profit before impairment
came in at RM276.4 million, an increase
of 14.1% compared to the second quarter
of 2022 (Q2’22) due to a continued focus
on operational efficiencies.
“Cash generation remained strong
with net operating cashflow of RM512.2
million which enabled us to repay almost
US$74.8 million of debt during the
quarter,” it said.
Bumi Armada said the future firm
order book at the end of Q3’22 remained
robust at RM13 billion, with additional
optional extensions of up to RM9.9
billion.
CEO Gary Christenson said that
during the quarter, the company
successfully conducted the planned
process shutdowns of two of its vessels in
a safe and efficient manner and restarted
ahead of plan.
“The floating production and
operation fleet continued to deliver
stable operations and we remain focused
on safety, sustainability, operational
excellence and financial discipline.
“We continue to pursue various new
projects amid high energy prices, backed
by our consistently improving financial
position,” he said. – Bernama

RM128.02 million against a net
loss of RM344.55 million in the

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia
yesterday, the company said the

profit for the first quarter ended
Sept 30, 2022 (Q1’23) rose three-
fold to RM640.29 million from
RM208.81 million in the
corresponding quarter last year
mainly due to the low base effect
and partially contributed by the
commencement of recurring

commencement in August 2022.
Its revenue in Q1’23 increased
60% to RM691.5 million compared
to RM431.77 million in the
corresponding quarter last year,
attributed to better performances
across all business segments
particularly the hospitality and
leisure segments which saw a
recovery of more than 400% in
revenue.
In the property development
segment, the group achieved a
revenue of RM529.9 million, a 46%
increase compared with the
preceding year corresponding
quarter attributable to higher sales
as higher progress billings across
key projects in the Klang Valley and
southern region as compared to
the corresponding quarter in the
preceding year.
For the nine-month period,
revenue rose 24.82% to RM756.36
million from RM605.96 million in

attributed by higher progress

as well as higher sales.
It recorded a LBT of RM91.97
million compared with an LBT of
RM3.5 billion previously.
Genting said the recovery of
Resorts World Sentosa (RWS)
continued during Q3’22.
“The overall improvement in
RWS’ operating performance
reflects the ongoing recovery of
regional travel markets, but such
recovery has yet to return to the
pre-pandemic levels.
“The rebound in gaming
revenue was led by more affluent
and premium customers that are
staying slightly longer,” the
company said.
Additionally, the opening of

PETALING JAYA: Logistics solutions
provider CJ Century Logistics Holdings
Bhd’s net profit for the third quarter ended
Sept 30, 2022 (Q3’22) dropped 42.5% to
RM6.36 million from RM11.06 million in the
same quarter last year.
The decline was attributed to higher
direct operating expenses and absence of
gain for the quarter under review. In the
previous year’s corresponding quarter, it
reaped an RM8 million gain from disposal of
its loss-making courier services business.
Revenue for the quarter rose 22.5% to
RM230.16 million from RM187.82 million in
the same period last year mainly due to the
higher volumes handled by both total
logistics services and procurement logistics
services segments.
Net profit for the nine months surged 36-
fold year-on-year to RM22.9 million from
RM633,000 driven by its total logistics
services segment which accounted for 76.4%
of the group’s revenue.
Its total group revenue for the nine-
month period increased 13.6% to RM725.89
million from RM638.85 million.
CEO Steven Teow said on a year-on-year
basis, all segments have performed better
due to the easing of Covid-19 restrictions
and an overall recovery of business
activities.

G Achtung!
ERMANY are under pressure
after suffering a shock 2-1
defeat by Japan in their
opening match of the World
Cup, head coach Hansi Flick said
yesterday.
Ilkay Guendogan’s penalty gave
Germany the lead in the first half but
Japan bounced back in the second half
with goals from substitutes Ritsu Doan
and Takuma Asano.
It was Japan’s first-ever win over
Germany, with the teams having met
twice in international friendlies before
yesterday’s World Cup clash.
The defeat was the third in a row in
the opening match of a major
championship for Germany after a loss
to Mexico at the 2018 World Cup,
when they bowed out in the first round
as champions – their earliest exit in
more than 80 years – and to France at
Euro 2020.
“With this defeat and zero points,
we are under pressure, no question
Die Mannschaft under pressure after losing to Japan, says Flick
about it,” Flick told reporters. “We can
only blame ourselves. It’s a great
disappointment.
“We were on the right path in the
first half, we had 78% possession and
were ahead 1-0. Then we had good
chances in the second half that we
didn’t take advantage of.
“Japan were simply more efficient
today. We made mistakes that we
should never commit especially in a
World Cup and those are the things
that we need to improve on.”
Guendogan said
players lost the ball too
easily.
“We made it too easy for them.
Especially the second goal, I don’t
know if ever there has been an easier
goal scored in the World Cup,” he said.
Captain and goalkeeper Manuel
Neuer said the team lacked the
urgency to score after they lost their
lead.
“I am totally frustrated and angry
that we let this game slip, it was not
necessary,” Neuer said.
“After the break we no longer had
this game flow and did not play with
the same confidence as in the first half.
“We are now under pressure from
the start. That was also the most
important game of how you start in a
tournament but we messed it up.”
Flick would not accept his team’s
focus on the OneLove campaign as
an excuse for the defeat.
Much of the attention around the
match was the German team’s pre-
match team photo where the players
had their hands over their mouths.
Asked if their protest had
contributed to a below-par display,
Flick replied: “No. We’re not looking
for excuses. That would be too easy.
“I said it ahead of the game, Japan
have a strong team, great
players with good
technique, good tactics. They are well
trained and they showed their
strengths today. They played very
efficiently.
“I would have liked to see that
from my team, but we can’t make
excuses. We made too many
mistakes.”
Germany certainly cannot afford
to be distracted as they head into
their second match against Spain.
“We’ll analyse this game as we
always do. Spain is a different team, it
is not Japan, and we’ll have a different
game plan.
“Of course, now with this defeat,
we are under pressure, no question,
and we’re to blame. We can only
blame ourselves.
“We have to make sure we can
come out of this. We need to be
courageous and decisive; we need the
aggression in the game that’s
necessary at the World Cup.” –

SIDENETTING
Japan’s Takuma
No such thing as small teams: Dembele Asano (centre)
scores his team’s
GERMANY’S defeat by Japan, a day after Saudi second goal during
Arabia stunned Argentina at the World Cup, goes to their World Cup
show that there cannot be any room for match against
complacency against the so-called “small teams”, Germany. – AFPPIX
France forward Ousmane Dembele said yesterday.
Japan, like Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, came from
behind to beat Germany in a frenzied finish in
Group E for the second major upset after less than
three full days of competition in Qatar. “Huh? Oh
yeah?,” Dembele said when told about the Germany
vs Japan result at a news conference at France’s
training camp. The 25-year-old said the big guns
needed to be full on from start to finish, regardless
of the opponent. “In modern football there’s no
small teams,” he said. “If you turn down the intensity,
you’re in trouble. Now everyone works a lot
technically, tactically. We saw how Saudi Arabia
were incredible from a tactical point of view. We
also saw it ourselves against Denmark (in the 2022
Nations League).”

Saudis enjoy image boost

SAUDI ARABIANS enjoyed a holiday on
Wednesday to celebrate toppling mighty Argentina
at the World Cup – but the benefits of their
giantkilling go far beyond some unexpected free
time. The Green Falcons’ 2-1 defeat of a Lionel
Messi-led team hitherto unbeaten in three years
was the greatest result for an Arab nation since
Algeria defeated West Germany in 1982. That
handed Saudi Arabia positive publicity at a time
when many around the world still associate the
kingdom with autocratic rule and rights abuses.
Video of young Saudis dancing joyfully in delight
and waving the national flag outside the stadium,
and of others leaping around televisions at home,

SWITZERLAND captain Granit Xhaka said yesterday
his side did not have to copy Germany’s mouth-

anything as the Swiss team. We need to respect the

Blue Samurai’s Bundesliga connection shine
JAPAN manager Hajime Moriyasu hailed a
win made in the Bundesliga after his Blue
Samurai stunned four-times champions
Germany 2-1 in their World Cup opener
yesterday.
Eight of Japan’s squad are based in
Germany and it was two of those players who
scored the goals that sealed a historic victory
for the Asian side.
Freiburg’s Ritsu Doan and Bochum’s
Takuma Asano both came off the bench to
strike late in the second half and help Japan
pull off an unlikely comeback against a
German team leading through Ilkay
Gundogan’s first-half penalty.
Moriyasu said a second-half tactical switch
had helped turn the tide but credited his
players’ footballing education in Europe as
the real foundation for the win.
“We have seven players in the Bundesliga
and one in the German second division, but
we have many more playing in big leagues in
Europe and that has played a big part in our
development,” he said.
“Germany are a big team but our players
stayed calm and patient.”
With stoppage time, they had to hold out
for 15 minutes after taking the lead, bringing
back memories of their loss in the last 16 of
the last World Cup when they gave up a 2-0
lead against Belgium and lost to a stoppage
time goal.
“At the end they came at us with the full
power, in the past maybe we would have lost
but the players have been playing in
Germany and Europe they’ve learned so
much from that, so we held on,” Moriyasu
added
“United as one, we needed to hang tough
until the final whistle went and we were able
to grasp our opportunity.”
Moriyasu said the “historic” victory was the
result of meticulous planning and the
flexibility of his players when they were faced
with the full might of the Germans in a one-
sided first half and went a goal down.
“We wanted to start aggressively, we
wanted to dominate the game but Germany
are very strong so we needed to defend
persistently and take our chances,” he said.
“In our tactics, we had many options and
looked at many scenarios. We knew there was
a chance we could go a goal down, we
planned for it, we prepared for it.”
Progressing to the next round will still be a
tough task from a Group E also featuring 2010
champions Spain and Japan’s next opponents
Costa Rica.
“We want to go to the quarterfinals, this is
the first step,” goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda said.
“Japan has its own character and the way
we do it is as a team. Doan and Asano scored
but we did it together.” – Reuters/AFP

OneLove armbands sell out
CALL IT the law of unintended consequences. The
OneLove armbands FIFA banned at the World Cup in
Qatar are suddenly selling like hotcakes. The
armbands, intended to send a message of tolerance,
connection and opposition to all forms of
discrimination, have been in the global spotlight
since FIFA threatened several European team
captains with yellow cards if they wore them. Now
the company that makes the bands in Utrecht, the
Netherlands, says it is sold out after shipping 10,000,
mostly in the past two weeks. “The big boom came
actually with the World Cup coming up and for sure
the statement of FIFA to not allow these captain
bands on the field,” said Badge Direct BV CEO Roland
Heerkens in an interview. The bands are priced at
just above manufacturing cost, at €4.99 (RM23.50). A
new batch of 10,000 will be sold on the Royal Dutch
Football Association (KNVB) web shop and
Voetbalshop.nl when it becomes available.
Germany to avoid disciplinary action after covered mouths protest
█ JAMIE GARDNER
GERMANY’S players took the OneLove
armband protest to a new level as their
players covered their mouths during a team
photo at the World Cup, but will not face any
disciplinary action from FIFA, it is understood.
The move marked another day of tension
between the seven European nations who
supported the OneLove campaign and FIFA,
with the Football Association exploring its
legal options over the matter alongside
Danish and German counterparts.
The FA declined to comment on whether
the England team would copy the German
gesture ahead of their match against the
United States tomorrow (3am).
Speaking about the “covered mouths”
gesture after his side’s 2-1 defeat to Japan,
Germany coach Hansi Flick said: “It was a
sign, a message that we wanted to send out.
We wanted to convey the message that FIFA
is silencing us.”
Flick was referring to the fact that those
nations wanting to wear the OneLove
armband were threatened by FIFA with
sporting sanctions – starting with the issuing
of yellow cards to their captains – if the
rainbow-coloured armbands were worn.
The German gesture could have
prompted disciplinary action from FIFA
under Article 11 of its disciplinary code. It
states that anyone “using a sports event for
demonstrations of a non-sporting nature”
may be sanctioned.
FIFA has yet to comment on what the
German team did, but it is understood there
will be no formal disciplinary action from the
governing body.
A tweet from the German federation read:
“It wasn’t about making a political statement
– human rights are non-negotiable. Denying
us the armband is the same as denying us a
voice. We stand by our position.”
Germany’s on-field gesture was reinforced
in the stands at the Khalifa Stadium by
interior minister Nancy Faeser wearing a
OneLove armband in the VIP box.
Sitting to her right was FIFA president
Gianni Infantino, who on the eve of the
tournament launched an extraordinary

Walker targeting ‘biggest prize of all’

█ SIMON PEACH
KYLE WALKER is desperate to
help this talented England side
win the “biggest prize of all” after
returning from injury just in time
to go to the World Cup.
The right-back said where he
grew up “you had to survive” and
stunned reporters when he spoke
about the worst things he saw.
“The fire (at a neighbour’s
house) was bad or someone was
hung on the stairs I was going up,”
he said. “Them two were probably
the ones that stick in my mind.”
Walker was 12 or 13 at the time
and his voice trailed off when
recalling the kind of horrors he
said no-one should experience
but moulded him into the person
he is today.

Uruguay captain Diego Godin and Real
Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde came
closest to breaking the deadlock when
hitting the woodwork in each half, while
Hwang Ui-jo wasted Korea’s best chance,
skying a shot from 10 yards out with only
the goalkeeper to beat.
It was a game of few chances as neither
Son on one side nor Uruguay’s fearsome
strikers Luis Suarez, Darwin Nunez and
Edinson Cavani could find a clear opening.
With matches against Ghana and group
favourites Portugal to come, both sides
seemed to be more intent on not losing
than pushing for the win at the Education
City stadium in Doha.
The early part of the match settled into
a predictable pattern as Korea made a fast
start and Uruguay sat deep, soaking up the
pressure without giving anything away.
In particular, the South Americans kept
