#Malaysia Urgently Needs Agricultural Revolution by Murray Hunter
Malaysia faces acute shortages of staples like chicken, eggs, beef, mutton, and milk, with prices rising for vegetables including tomatoes, cucumbers, chillies, cabbages, beans, peppers, and various salad leaves due to labor shortages and dramatic increases in fertilizer and transport costs, almost all of it due to government venality and incompetence.
The prices of imported processed foods are rising as well, along with many items being subject to shortages. Prices of commodities like wheat and corn are rapidly rising making locally produced foods much more expensive.

18 May is the UNESCO-designated International Day of Museums. Each year, there is an overall theme but presented in many different ways by museums throughout the world.

As institutions at the heart of society, museums have the capacity to establish dialogue among cultures and to build bridges.
Museums can play an increasingly vital role as we move toward a just and inclusive world society. As citizens of the world in our analysis of the world situation, we have stressed the need for a clear strategic focus to move to a world society that is just, sustainable and inclusive. We understand community-oriented as care for the Earth and as embracing our common responsibility to cooperate in promoting the well-being of all people and the larger community of life.
