What to do about the Shah Alam Stadium? Should this dilapidated 28-year-old stadium be refurbished or demolished? 

To repair and renovate this iconic stadium would cost RM787 million. Would it be more cost effective to raze the old and build a new one? And are two stadiums the answer? 

Does the quality of our sports, especially football  justify the expense?  Will Malaysia ever develop a proper maintenance culture so buildings and public amenities can be enjoyed for far longer than the few years it remains bright and new?

Finally, movie goers have been disappointed by Disney’s decision not to release Thor: Love and Thunder in Malaysia. 

What is the larger impact of this decision on our future cinematic viewing pleasure? Should our censorship board lighten up and move with the times?
