Track down this stall hidden inside a car park food court in Cheras for slurp-worthy Ipoh shredded chicken ‘hor fun’ and egg topped ‘kaya toast’US Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrives at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland to board a plane for Jamaica on March 26, 2025. Rubio heads to the Caribbean looking for ways forward on violence-torn Haiti and to show support for oil-rich Guyana in its dispute with Venezuela .
Rubio, who is flying to Guyana after talks with Caribbean nations in Jamaica, will also stop later Thursday in Guyana’s neighbour Suriname, whose own oil production is on the rise. Guyana, an English-speaking former British and Dutch colony where the majority of the 800,000 people still live in poverty, has for years had a long-shot movement that has sought to join the United States.
Venezuela, whose leftist leader Nicolas Maduro is despised by the Cuban-American Rubio, has laid claim to Guyana’s Essequibo, which covers most of the country and is the center of oil production. The Trump administration has put a high priority on ramping up oil production, seeing both economic and security incentives, and has brushed aside the push by previous president Joe Biden to diversify to renewables to address the planet’s fast-rising temperatures and climate disasters.
