When sharing is not caring
The columnist believes Malaysians have reached the limits of 'free speech' with the unfiltered, unthinking sharing of comments on social media. WE'VE heard the expression 'sharing is caring'. I'm sure we've all at one point told a version of it to our children and grandchildren when they squabble over a toy, or teach it to young pupils at school. But nowadays, in a world dominated by social media, sharing is not a good thing to do as it can have the opposite effect, with consequences more severe than most people realise.

Don't let fear become a poison shared by society
I remember when I was a child taking art classes, our teacher would always ask us to draw the national flag during the National Day month. Back then, the children might not have accurately sketched the actual design of the Jalur Gemilang, but with great enthusiasm, we poured our patriotic feelings onto the blank paper, each expressing creativity in our own way.

Right to learn, right to safety in schools
WE send our children to schools believing they are safe places where they can learn – but a recent report has shaken that belief. The Fire and Rescue Department recently revealed that out of 853 schools inspected for fire hazards, 144 were flagged and 767 enforcement notices were issued for defective firefighting equipment, missing exit signs, absent emergency lighting and other safety lapses – that's one in six schools in a single nationwide sweep.
