By Teo Nie Ching

February 27, 2009

With over a dozen witnesses, and a police report that names him, why can’t the media centre staff be identified?

By R Ganesh

January 17, 2009

Police personnel watching traffic go by in Dun Bandar, Kuala Terengganu (all pics by Lainie Yeoh) I AM amazed how the police sometimes have so many personnel for certain events.

Sunny start to polling day in KT

by Danny Lim and Deborah Loh

January 17, 2009

A man peers over his shoulder outside Pasar Payang (All pics by Lainie Yeoh, unless otherwise noted) SATURDAY, 17 Jan 2009, is D-Day for Kuala Terengganu, but things are no clearer as to which way the votes will go.
