Dear friends,

I am pleased to announce that I have created my own blog - The Mutiara Sentinel (TMS).

https://www.mutiarasentinel.com/

TMS is a blog site where you guys will get to access opinion editorials as well as news pieces on happenings in Malaysian politics, social and cultural scenes.

Occasionally, you guys would get to enjoy written content on world politics as well, especially American politics as the 2024 US Presidential Election is nearing. You guys would get to read political analysis pieces on the elections - something that I enjoyed creating when I was with Free Malaysia Today.

I am excited about my new journey with The Mutiara Sentinel, as I believe that this blog will help me to keep my love for journalism intact and everlasting even though I am no longer a practicing journalist.
