🚉 Good morning from the Bridge on the River Kwai. I’m here in Kanchanaburi for the annual memorial service for the estimated 100,000 Asian labourers that died building the Thai-Burma Railway during the last war.
Everyone talks about the Allied Prisoners of War all the time but hardly anything is mentioned about the Asians that died. So I felt it was important for me to come here and shine a light on what happened to them.

On 1 May, I’ll be in Kanchanaburi to attend a very special and meaningful event marking the 2nd anniversary of the Hero Stone at Wat Thaworn Wararam.
While many people know the story of the Death Railway through the experiences of Allied POWs, far fewer know about the tens of thousands of Asian labourers, known as Romusha, who were brought from across the region and forced to work under brutal conditions. Many never returned home, and for decades their stories remained largely untold.
This Hero Stone was created to honour those forgotten victims, particularly Indian and Malayan Tamils who were among those sent to build the railway. Inspired by a South Indian tradition of commemorating sacrifice, it stands as a powerful symbol of remembrance, respect, and long-overdue recognition.
If you’re in Kanchanaburi on Labour Day, you are welcome to join the ceremony and pay your respects.

Assemblyman Wong from Selangor rose to speak on pig farming. Suddenly, mayhem erupted, and one assemblyman from PN tried to refer him to the Privileges Committee
What did Wong do wrong? According to Dr Afifudfin, another assemblyman its treason to talk about pig farming since the Sultan had already issued a decree on the subject
My goodness, what has happened to our politicians? A decree is not the law. That’s the language of the Istana when they give their advice. We are not a country governed by Kings of yesteryear. We are a constitutional monarchy
Any assemblymember can raise any issue of public interest, and they must not be stopped from performing their duties. Pig farming involves a livelihood, and you can’t just close it down without exploring all options

The govt is prepared to consider cutting Cabinet ministers’ salaries if the economy deteriorates further amid the global energy crisis, says PM Anwar Ibrahim.
"Gaji kita relatif memang rendah, gaji-gaji Menteri. Saya tak ada masalah saya tak ambil gaji, tapi gaji itu hak mereka," he added.
