IT’S the Chinese New Year, so it’s important we kick off the Year of the Ox with bullish optimism. There are just too many naysayers among us who love to depict the worst of Malaysia and parade those sentiments on social media.
Nothing seems to be right and we let politics get in our way. The habit of forwarding every single political message is simply self-sabotage.

The Supreme Court declared that COVID-19 vaccination in Brazil is mandatory. However, the authorities cannot directly force adults to be vaccinated against their will. It is likely that the majority of Brazilians will be vaccinated by the end of 2021, so employers should consider implementing internal vaccination policies as soon as possible.
