The hundred-year catch — Abbi Kanthasamy
JULY 12 — I've been rooted in Malaysia since '98. Long enough to understand that everyone here, absolutely everyone, carries an opinion about him. The man who, against every global financial pundit's dire warning, pegged the ringgit. The one who effectively told the IMF to take their austerity sermons and preach them to someone else. He built highways that snaked through the land, brought forth twin towers that seemed to slice the very clouds, and conjured an entire administrative capital from what was once just a stretch of plantation. Depending on who you ask, he was a grand visionary, a ruthless pragmatist, a nation-builder, or something far more complex. But today? Today wasn't about the grand narratives. July 10 marked his hundredth birthday. There's an old saw about meeting your heroes, or your villains. The moment you do, they shed their mythic armor. They stop being convenient symbols and become, simply, painfully human. Yet there I was, walking into what amounted to history's living room, a small offering tucked under my arm: my book, No Boundaries, a rumination on the peculiar beauty of cricket. I wasn't expecting a coronation or a drum roll. What truly disarmed me was this: as I stepped inside, the hundred-year-old man, this titan of Southeast Asian politics, slowly, deliberately, rose to his feet. He offered a handshake that was firm, not fragile, his eyes meeting mine with a surprising, genuine warmth. This was a man who once stood before the United Nations and frankly scolded the West for its double standards, who navigated decades of political intrigue with the precise cunning of a chess grandmaster. And he stood up for me. A quiet, utterly unpretentious gesture from a man who, by any measure, had long since earned the right to be entirely unbothered. It was, in a word, disorienting. Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his wife Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali are seen during a meet and greet with the public at the Perdana Leadership Foundation, Putrajaya, in celebration of his 100th birthday July 10, 2025. — Picture by Raymond Manuel Before arriving, I'd cleared a small culinary detail with his son, a friend: would he be open to some appams for the celebration? 'Yes, please,' came the immediate, enthusiastic reply. 'They all adore the appams from Aliyaa.' And who wouldn't? Hot, sweet, fragrant with coconut, the kind that practically melt the moment they touch your tongue. We brought a small crew to prepare them fresh, because to serve an appam otherwise would be a minor culinary tragedy. After the exchange of the book, he flipped through its pages, his fingers tracing the images and words. Then, without a prompt, he began to spin a yarn. Not about statecraft or global economics, but about cricket. He recalled being a young man, out on the field, when a ball came hurtling towards him. Pure instinct took over. He simply extended his hand and caught it clean. The whole field, he recounted, erupted. They told him he was destined for cricket, that he possessed the reflexes of a natural athlete. He offered a light chuckle, a dry, knowing sound, noting he probably ended up a better politician in the end. He painted the scene with such vividness, I could almost conjure the echo of his teammates' laughter across the decades. I could practically feel the sun glinting off old bat handles, sense the raw, electric rush of youth coursing through veins that now pulsed slower, yes, but still thrummed with a century of memory, hard-won wisdom, and the immeasurable, often brutal, weight of leadership. In those few minutes, he managed to put me entirely at ease. Perhaps that's the quiet artistry of a formidable politician — the innate ability to forge an instant connection, to make you feel, for that fleeting moment, like you're the sole, most important person in the room. But this exchange didn't feel like a political manoeuvre. It felt, unvarnished and undeniable, human. I requested a portrait. He nodded, and again, rose, straightening slightly, a silent request to look his best. I didn't linger. Just two swift, quiet clicks of the camera. I had no desire to intrude further on his family's private moment, no wish to pierce the simple, profound peace that settled over that room — the soft murmur of conversation, the gentle clinking of plates, an old man settling back into his chair, my book about cricket resting in his hands. As I stepped back into the Kuala Lumpur night, I reflected on the man I'd just encountered. Over a century of life, he'd been branded with a multitude of labels: leader, statesman, visionary, sometimes even a controversial figure. But in that room, at that advanced age, he was none of those things. He was simply a man. A grandfather, a father, an elder. A man who, a lifetime ago, caught a cricket ball, and perhaps, in that singular, perfect second, truly believed anything was possible. And maybe, just maybe, that's the true measure of a life well-lived: not just the monumental achievements, but the enduring belief, even in the smallest of moments, that you can truly catch whatever life throws at you. And then, with quiet determination, spending a lifetime proving it. Not just to yourself, but to everyone watching. * This is the personal opinion of the writer or publication and does not necessarily represent the views of Malay Mail.

Singapore PM warns against billionaire-owned media, calls for trusted journalism amid digital echo chambers
SINGAPORE, July 12 — Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong has reportedly touted the critical role of trusted media in helping Singapore navigate an increasingly complex and fragmented information landscape. The Straits Times reported him saying the media industry must continue to inform, educate and connect society — a task that will require public trust, high-quality journalism and a clear sense of mission. 'Singapore needs trusted media that continue to present balanced perspectives, surface different points of view and hold meaningful conversations — so that we can better understand one another and develop a common understanding of the world,' he was quoted saying. Wong highlighted the growing challenge of digital echo chambers and algorithm-driven content, saying media outlets must remain unifying forces that help citizens make sense of complex issues and foster shared identity. He also addressed the pressures facing the media business model, warning against the global trend of newsrooms becoming beholden to commercial or partisan interests. 'We do not want our national newspaper to be owned by billionaires with narrow or partisan agendas,' he said. He also affirmed the Singapore government's commitment to supporting public service media, to ensure journalism remains viable, independent and accountable to the public. Wong stressed that quality journalism must be at the heart of the industry's mission, especially amid the spread of misinformation. While digital consumption is rising, he said there remains strong demand for insightful, well-crafted long-form reporting. Delivering such content consistently, he added, requires capable editorial and technical teams, and media organisations must offer purposeful careers to attract and retain young talent. Wong noted that media consumption habits are evolving rapidly, requiring news outlets to adapt formats and platforms — even if this involves disrupting existing models or cannibalising traditional products. While he believes print still has a place in Singapore, he said the industry must plan for a future where newspapers may take on different formats in terms of style, tone and length. Ultimately, Wong said the media must chart its own course — weighing opportunities, managing risks and evolving to meet the needs of a changing audience while staying true to its mission.

Asean must deepen integration amid US tariffs and global uncertainty, Singapore foreign minister tells regional colleagues
SINGAPORE, July 12 — ASEAN must double down on its integration against the backdrop of geopolitical uncertainty and US tariffs, said Singapore Foreign Minister Dr Vivian Balakrishnan. He said the grouping must ensure that it truly removes every tariff and non-tariff barriers, and optimises its competitive position. 'Because that is under our control. That is a path of no regret, and I would say the urgency and the salience of doing it now, it is so much more obvious,' he told the media on the sidelines of the 58th ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting (AMM) and related meetings in Kuala Lumpur. The transcript of the doorstop interview was shared by Singapore's Foreign Ministry (MFA). Balakrishnan said the focus of the meetings in Kuala Lumpur was to increase resilience within ASEAN amid uncertainty, volatility, and economic challenges by deepening ASEAN integration and strengthening external relations with its partners. 'In a way, you can think of this as an attempt to increase resilience by increasing the stability of ASEAN's economic ties across the world,' he said. The minister noted that he was pleasantly surprised at the very high attendance at senior levels from the external partners, which is a good reflection of ASEAN's convening ability. Meanwhile, Balakrishnan noted that the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) and the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link could serve as positive models for future bilateral or multilateral integration within ASEAN. 'From an ASEAN perspective, this (JS-SEZ) also may have relevant lessons for how to do cross-border collaboration that provides competitive advantage by pooling complementary strengths,' he said. On the Thailand-Cambodia border issue, Balakrishnan said both parties need time and secure, quiet channels to allow diplomacy to work in resolving the issue. He added that, in his personal experience, it has never been effective to resolve difficult and sensitive issues through excessive publicity or public responses via media conferences or social media. 'I am not in a position to reveal the sensitive nature of the discussions which went on here, but I would make this point. It calls for quiet, discreet, constructive, effective diplomacy. 'Based on my interactions with all of them and my fellow colleagues in ASEAN, everyone hopes for an amicable resolution,' he said, adding that it is very unfortunate that the dispute has led to loss of life. Thailand-Cambodia diplomatic relations was strained following the May 28 brief exchange of gunfire between soldiers of both countries stationed near the Preah Vihear province in northern Cambodia, killing one soldier. — Bernama
