Residents of Taman Danau Desa are fighting to preserve two plots of land originally designated for a playground and a police station, which are now at risk of being developed into more high-rise condominiums. The Protect Taman Desa group, formed by concerned residents, is pushing to restore the land to its original public purposes.
The 500-meter stretch of Jalan 3/109f already hosts three condominiums, and the group fears additional projects will exacerbate traffic congestion and further strain the neighborhood. Volunteers in the group argue that the land should be kept as green space for community activities, as the area only has two remaining green zones.
The police station site, once home to a food court, has been cleared, and...
Caretaker Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor is seeking a renewed mandate under the Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) development plan, which has been central to his administration since 2021. The five-year-old plan, focusing on agriculture, industry, tourism, human capital, welfare, infrastructure, and sustainability, has seen mixed reactions from voters.
Proponents credit SMJ for guiding Sabah through post-pandemic recovery, boosting investment, and improving welfare. Scholarship allocations rose significantly, while new initiatives like housing and student subsidies were introduced. However, critics argue the plan has been slow to address key issues, particularly unreliable water supply and incomplete infrastructure projects, which continue...

Samsung has not officially confirmed details about its first tri-fold flagship, the Galaxy Z TriFold, leaving leaks and patents as the primary sources of information. Recent patent images reveal that the device will feature three batteries, each of varying sizes, and a slim design when fully unfolded into a tablet.
The images, uncovered by GalaxyClub, show two hinge mechanisms designed to keep the three panels together, preventing any gaps when folded. The batteries are placed in different sections of the device, with the smallest located near the cameras due to space limitations. This may impact the overall battery capacity, although it’s expected to exceed 5,000mAh, surpassing the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
A vapor chamber appears in the...
Apple's upcoming iPhone Air 2 is expected to retain the premium titanium frame of its predecessor, according to analyst Jeff Pu. This material is chosen for its strength and lightweight properties, helping prevent bending while maintaining durability. Apple is reportedly focusing on refining its existing design rather than pursuing a radical overhaul.
The iPhone Air 2 is likely to remain a performance-focused option beneath the Pro models, with its titanium frame providing structural balance and resilience. While the iPhone 18 Fold may attract more attention, the Air 2 will remain a key part of Apple's 2026 lineup.
Possible updates include a second ultra-wide camera, an additional speaker, and new battery technology, though none of...
