Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, the 93-year-old who returned as premier last year after a stunning election victory, said last week he wanted the race to return. "The interest in Grand Prix is still very big and we want to bring back the race here, because it has stimulated many Malaysians to go into the automotive industry," the Star newspaper quoted him as saying

PUTRAJAYA: Self-employed workers will soon get better protection from any risk at the workplace following the government’s move to enhance the Self-Employment Social Security Act and several related labour laws.

Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said the protection would be extended to fishermen, farmers, smallholders, business operators and those in the arts industry where they stand to receive the same benefits as those in the formal sector.
