Editorial

New Straits Times lamented the plight of pangolins, which are being increasingly smuggled out of Malaysia despite heavier penalties, due to slack enforcement.

Utusan said that DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang is not championing equality but only concerned for members of his own race, as seen by his knee-jerk reaction to the cases involving the allegedly racist school principals, and rapper Namewee.

Berita Harian opined that the chaotic PKR division annual general meetings last weekend is proof that the party is in turmoil.
