Today, Freedom Film Network went to the Magistrate's Court in solidarity with the filmmakers of Mentega Terbang. We believe the charges against them will cloud the Malaysian film industry's future. Read our statement here: #BebaskanFilem

Don't get a Bengal period. The process of breeding to get a cat that's somewhat manageable as a pet is cruel to the cats involved. And bengals have a high rate of abandonment because of their behaviour and temperament.

Kalau tak cukup penyabar jangan la bela bengal. Mamat ni pernah kencing kat kepala aku. Kencing kat belakang badan aku. Kencing kat bapak aku. Sofa katil bantal tu biasaaaaa sangat dah. Sebab apa dia buat camtu? Sebab perangai jebon

How to be a successful Malaysian diasporic writer on the international scene: Set your novel during British colonial times/Japanese occupation. Don't get into the politics of colonization. Write some wanky passages of people doing things under the moonlight.

I'm not gonna engage with an American who came to Msia and in his thread comparing how Msia is enforcing social distancing in the face of COVID19 felt the need to say that Malaysia is not a 1st world country and cited the amount of poverty he saw as a reason.

@pelisahh be careful with beauty treatments anon. at your young age you probably don't need anything. just invest in good sunscreen unless you have a skin condition then you're better off seeing a dermatologist. these beauty centers sometimes make your skin worse.

Lots of people have pointed out the inaccuracy in her tweet. But seriously it's so easy to tell someone to do this and that from the safety of your home in peace time. You have no idea what you are asking of someone when you say this. Zero. And you have no idea Wael's story.

@rationalmalay It's called snitch tagging. I imagine it's really traumatic and difficult to speak up about this, so don't make it more difficult by tagging him here. If you want to confront him, do that on his timeline or DM him directly.

When I read @SistersinIslam 's research about the impact of polygamy on children it was like looking at my family. Broken marriages and a continuing cycle of polygamy (done behind wives' backs). (My grandfather was a polygamist.)

It's been an incredible year for me writing-wise. I've been publishing and paid for it. So I thought I would do a year in review with rates. I've been paid in USD and SGD this year, and I thought it would be useful for other Malaysian and SEA freelancers to see my rates.

PSM is not running in my constituency so I donated to them. I would vote for them if they were running in Bukit Gasing. My ADUN is a very good one, but I've totally lost faith in PH at the state and federal level. We've had to fight so hard against bullshit projects in Sgor.

Today, I bumped into someone raising funds for UNHCR. โ€œDo you know about @Refugees ?โ€ Yes, I said, my boyfriend is a refugee. He did a double take. โ€œYou mean your boyfriend helps refugees?โ€ Nope, heโ€™s a refugee. After asking me for some details about my bf he asked for a donation.

1/When I was younger and really didnโ€™t know anything about Israel and Palestine I found the rabid anti-semitism of Malaysian pro-Palestine solidarity confusing and off putting so I thought I was pro Israel. But in college I took a class on ME History and learned about the Nakba.

I love this bitch. Cheapest tomato soup on the market and the perfect base to become something fancy. The minimum: saute one sliced onion in a good amount of olive oil. Like 2 tbsps. When itโ€™s translucent add this + a can of water and half a Maggi stock cube (chicken or veg).

Over the weekend, a friend said that this country's anti-migrant rhetoric and propaganda is at 110% while it's vaccine promotion is at 40%. Seems about accurate in the result. People don't see migrants as human and our vaccine registration is at 33%. Tahniah!

I wanted to share a couple digital security things with everyone that we do at work. We've stopped using Whatsapp for work because although it promises end to end encryption it's owned by Facebook, and well...so we use Wire. Signal was also considered. Telegram is NOT secure.
