As the clock struck the midnight hour, we left, by all accounts, another horrible year and welcomed 2022.

From all of us at Malaysiakini, we wish everyone - our readers especially - a very happy new year.

Over the past 22 years, it has been our privilege and pleasure to share the Malaysian journey and yet another year of building a better tomorrow for our future generations.

May 2022 be the year we see real gains on many fronts, especially in our fight against corruption.

We are working with a skeleton staff today, recharging our batteries before returning to the fray.

We shall be back in full force in the new year to continue to give you more news, and views, that matter.
