‘Goodbye, Malaysia. I wish you well’ — Malaysian gives up his citizenship for Singapore after losing faith in M’sia politicians; praises SG govt and its progress in delivering its promises
From Negaraku to Majulah Singapura: One Malaysian man says his years of living with Malaysia’s political disappointment have changed his sense of home
Seven Malaysian men were sentenced to lengthy prison terms and caning for a sophisticated robbery in Singapore. The high-value heist targeted a bungalow in the affluent Bukit Timah area during a poker game that took place inside. Prosecutors detailed how the gang of seven, most of whom were armed with machetes and baseball bats, entered the house in the early hours of April 18, 2024.
The robbers concealed victims with duct tape and searched the property for valuables, netting about S$4.9 million (US$3.9 million) in cash, various watches, and cryptocurrency. One of the men, Muhammad Yusuf Kassim, remains at large and suspected of fleeing to Thailand.
