I chose this RM30 nasi lemak over dishes like pasta carbonara and seafood aglio olio.
Why? Look at that: SEVEN individually made components: nasi, sambal, ayam, udang, bilis, kacang, telur. That’s work that easily takes 2hrs.
carbonara takes 15mins. Let’s value our heritage.

@Khairykj
why do so many Malaysian smokers seem to assume that a change of government means that smoking laws have changed as well? People are lighting up like chimneys in restaurants, especially mamaks, and there’s no enforcement. Please do something about this
@KKMPutrajaya
just here to say that we need to stop idolizing western ‘healthy’ foods as superior ‘healthy’ foods. nasi campur can also be healthy.

I’m wondering why guards at Hospital Sultanah Aminah Blok D refused me entry on the basis of me wearing shorts (skimming the knee) despite me making it clear the docs were requesting my immediate presence? I thought we settled this? (1/n)
Spotted a white man standing with a white woman in the

women’s only coach. Told him point blank that it’s a women’s coach. He just stared at me, no acknowledgement. The other women in the coach were quiet. We are too polite, especially to white people
@askrapidkl
can’t properly articulate how much I love and appreciate being able to walk to get my groceries, or for a quick meal. Our country would be even more livable with more wide, well-lit sidewalks like this.
Guard yelled and said ‘Ini hospital kerajaan tau!’ I said ‘look this is urgent docs are looking for me.’ But nope, no entry until the nurses gave me a pair of patient pants. And to add to it, the guard shouted ‘Semua India Cina macam babi!’ wow batal puasa betul ya (2/n)
@DrDzul
okay dude, next time you board a plane go perform the safety checks, secure the cabin, announcements, serve food, clean the cabin, layan asshole pax, resolve conflicts, communicate between cockpit and cabin, on your own, all while walking all the way to the destination. Mangkuk.
Considering the number ‘follow je the rules, x paham ke?’ replies I’ve seen so far, i am surprised that we still have so many people who smoke/vape in restaurants, buang sampah merata2, park on yellow lines, double park, stop in yellow boxes… kan follow the rules tu x susah? 🤔

@DrDzul
Update: HSA Corp Comms has been in touch. Just met with them and the pegawai keselamatan + supervisor. The guard acknowledged what he had done/said and apologized. The hospital apologized for the incident. I acknowledged and thanked the guard + hospital for their prompt action.
‘miskin sangat ke?’ — May you never feel the pain and struggle of only being able to afford a RM10 reload and don’t have enough bank balance to withdraw RM50. Your outlook on this will change real quick. But I won’t wish it on you.

The Chinese Bible translates ‘Silas’ as ‘西拉’, pronounced ‘see-la’. But mandarin has so many homophones, you could also go with variations that sound the same but have different meanings, like ‘希菈’, where the first character means ‘hope’.
I absolutely despise that I have to take this public — it reveals my location and I don’t like that. How much longer are we gonna fight over ‘attire’ at hospitals? Tak letih ke? And the racism? Acceptable? When are we gonna resolve this?

But Chinese people usually put great thought into the meanings of the names, to convey their hopes for what the child would be like. The ‘希’ would be really nice to keep.

I also noticed how this guard kept coming up to hover and ‘check’ and the moment the medical discussion was over he came and said ‘sudah habis kena keluar’. Entah ni pegawai sekuriti hospital ke penjara. Macam sama je.
This is a fucking stupid rule. We’ve got an abundance of natural sunlight and warm weather, but no, in the name of ‘values’ and ‘cantik memandang’, people have to spend a couple thousand bucks to get a dryer AND absorb the increased electricity cost? So dumb. SO DUMB.
Under Strata Act 2013 you cannot sidai baju dekat balcony. Because this is what it looks like. If every balcony ada baju, tak cantik memandang. Kurang value di situ. Use the designated yard area or a dryer. Sama-sama bagi condo facade kita lawa. Value tinggi. Nak jual untung 👍🏽
Malaysians looking at qualifications of Lim Hui Ying: ‘Bachelor of Arts’ and immediately being all ‘OMG apa ni ARTS x kena mengena dgn kewangan!’

It sounds like you don’t understand the point here. Women can CHOOSE whether they would like to be at the regular coach OR women’s coach. It isn’t mandatory for women to use the women’s coach. Men can ONLY be in the regular coach. THAT is mandatory.
Terrifying stalker actions, and yet the Malaysian police don’t see anything wrong with it. What are they waiting for — for him to physically lay a hand on her before acting? Horrifying.
55. The police came in minutes. They took him away and handcuffed him. My friend said he was yelling about Allah. I didnt see, I was hiding. Someone else took this video. They held him overnight. I told them everything.

Hold up. You seem to be directing your anger at Sarawakians as a whole ‘you declined AZ then u-turned’ when your anger should be directed at the federal government that has done a shoddy job at vaccinations by making us having to FIGHT FOR IT. I suggest you redirect that wrath.
Also don’t come at me ok I was hungry, wanted to sit in a comfy place, and felt like comforting food and nasi lemak is comforting af okkkkk. And honestly I can make aglio olio, carbonara, burgers etc at home but I CANT MAKE NASI LEMAK ITS TOO MUCH EFFORT.

Cafes and restaurants all over Malaysia love naming their mushroom soup ‘wild mushroom soup’ as if the mushrooms are being foraged from some forest and not actually coming from farms in Klang and Cameron Highlands 💀 tell me again: what about it is wild, besides the price?
Aisyah. I’m not much into clubbing and drinking: when I get invited to stuff like that I just politely decline.
Plus merrymaking and drinks is very much part of some subsets of Malaysian culture, just not HER specific subset, but apparently only hers matters?
It’s like men don’t know that most skirts (especially pencil skirts and straight cut skirts) ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE SLITS (usually just a few inches long) so that you can SIT PROPERLY.
From the replies, it’s clear that most men think ‘slit’ = show the whole damn thigh. MANGKUK.
1. An aide to Bandar Kuching MP Kelvin Yii was reportedly expelled from Parliament for wearing a knee-length skirt with a slit.
Media practitioners witnessed a security officer asking the woman to leave but failed to take photos due to movement restrictions in the building.

I counter with Christian prayers that God’s will be done and that the leaders of this nation - whether we like them or not - always be protected and be granted wisdom to do what is right.
That is the prayer Malaysian Christians have always prayed for this nation.
EXACTLY. They just keep chipping away at the forests in Genting, building unnecessary buildings and then act surprised when the entire area becomes geologically and ecologically unsound.

Y’all men in the replies here not realizing that most pencil/straight cut skirts (which are standard office wear) all have slits of a few inches long, not to menggoda, but so that the wearer CAN SIT DOWN PROPERLY. Mangkukkkkkk.

The comments in that thread, from both men and women, gave me the heebie jeebies. I cannot fathom a relationship that constantly requires ‘izin’ for every career step and decision. There’s a very clear difference between discussion and permission. Ew, sincerely ew.
I am once again begging everyone to CLEAN YOUR PHONE CAMERA LENSES especially before taking a photo! just do a quick wipe with your shirt! instant photo quality improvement!
After 5 years as a professional photographer, I finally bought my first (and dream!) full frame camera today, and paid fully in cash. After 2 years of uncertain work (thanks Covid), this feels like a dream. Spending that much money was terrifying though…

how about also mandating that restaurants must provide free drinking water to customers upon request, like how it’s a requirement in NYC? Too many restaurants charge an obscene amount for a glass of water just so they can push their (high margin) drinks

I was just thinking about how the gap seems to be widening. More and more privileged kids getting into brand name schools, but the ones whom I want to see are the public school kids.
Well well well, will you look at that: a race to the bottom via the partnership of two equally poorly-run businesses.
Now you can’t fly, nor can you get your food on time 💀
1. AirAsia and Foodpanda have announced a partnership, where AirAsia Ride will be promoted on the Foodpanda app and Foodpanda will power food delivery services on AirAsia’s superapp.

Oooof the privilege is showing. Communication is expensive. Many countries have inter-state phone rates, no unlimited mins, and don’t get me started on international calling. Having a fixed data plan and having access to WhatsApp reduces the cost burden on many people.
@lfc_eddie
Aware of that. But there are VERY few places that do carbonara properly with pecorino romano / parmigiano reggiano and guanciale :) it’s mostly poorly executed pasta alfredo with lots of cream. What makes true carbonara expensive here is the imported ingredients, not the labor.
I’ve just had to ask 2 people at Mahbub Bangsar to please step away if they would like to smoke. The were lighting up at tables. They glared at me. Enforcement needs to be stepped up. Their actions harm others as well, not unlike spreading a virus

Morality is subjective, and that is why having ‘Moral’ as a subject is, frankly speaking, pretty useless.
We are better off learning philosophy and ethics, so we can raise generations of people who can think and rationalize for themselves.

As I keep stressing, the issue of primary importance here is in the burden of responsibility held by a healthcare worker to discharge their duties and provide patient care regardless of language barriers.
my most-disliked and most-triggering phrase in BM: jangan mencabar
To me, those words demonstrate values of subservience/submission and lack of independent thought. No room for open & healthy discourse. An unwillingness to listen to different perspectives.

Also very stark when you compare it next to Brunei. I’ve looked. Many times. I’ve seen the destruction from air while flying out of Kuching — an area so vast, so dead, so brown, stretched as far my eye could see… FROM THE AIR.
A simple google earth check can reveal the near absolute destruction of Sarawak by logging activities. Sarawak has no more primary jungles anymore. Even the most interior of Sarawak is not spared. The difference with the Indonesian side is striking. This is Taib Mahmuds legacy.

Hold up, isn’t ‘kind, open-minded, non-judgmental’ basically the bare minimum requirement in a partner? Who wants a ‘unkind, close minded, judgey mcjudgerson’ partner?

See Balqis, this is where you're lacking. If you want a kind man just put "kind, open minded, non judgmental man" in your preferences. You dont have to relate it a specific group. I kinda understand what you're looking for but its giving judgemental to me

Today I felt validated because, as it turns out, everything I've struggled with my whole life -- even more so for the past months... it's not just "carol has no discipline", "carol is lazy" or "carol is a procrastinator"
