It's been 72 hours since Najib's partial pardon and no reaction from Opposition leader, chief whip, or presidents of the two parties. Why? Oppo not raising a fuss cause they would cut a deal if they could with pro-Najib camp? Such is the sad state of affairs.

The Penang Chief Minister needs to surround himself with more competent people. People who can advise him, conduct due diligence, and convert a file to PDF.

@SenawangTV Admin tahu mengapa budak tu buat demikian? Kemungkinan kurang siuman tapi mungkin juga desperate perlukan lesen untuk dapat kerja. Menariknya dia ingin lalui jalan yang betul (ambil ulangan JPJ) dan bukan main bayar je. Atau pandu tanpa lesen.

This reminds me of an exchange from Parasite. "Even though she’s rich, she’s nice.” “No. She’s nice because she’s rich." It's easier to be generous when you have the time and resources to do so.

Submitted my MA thesis, "The Politics of Student Debt," after two and a half years of labor. In truth, this is a collaborative project with so many people - from supervisors to interviewees - having a hand in shaping the thesis.

UM students and faculty should organize a Palestine teach-in to replace the cancelled talk tomorrow. No need asking KPT/KDN to get involved, just use the attention to promote solidarity and awareness about genocide in Gaza.

UM students' Q&A with Anwar tonight showed preparation and maturation. Students from a diverse demographics argued with facts and asked about low and stagnant wages, LGBT, affirmative action, gig economy. The quality of a university lies w/the students & faculty, not the admins.

Why do some people have strong views about how others name their kids? Trust me when it comes to your turn, the last thing you want is unsolicited advice/comment/suggestion on your kid's name (something very personal) Normalize not having strong opinions on everything.

Took only an hour to register the birth of my daughter today. No fuss about dropping binti from her name as well unlike when we registered my first daughter 5 years ago. Different branch though. Also still no MyKid until further notice. They said try apply next year 🥲

A friend just passed away. When I close my eyes, I can still see him in our school uniform: greeting, chatting, laughing. We haven't met in years. Silap sebenarnya, guess we shouldn't wait for the "right time' to catch up. Anytime is better than never again. ♥️

"Kenapa mesti pilih UiTM? IPTA lain kan ada" Whether you are for/against opening up UiTM, we should agree on making a fair comparison. UiTM is not equivalent to any other IPTAs. It has 30+ branch campuses, and their student enrolment is about 7x that of UM, or 10x that of UPM.

After Trump won in 2016, many pundits and mainstream press thought, "The voters didn't know what they voted for." In 2020, Trump nearly won again and the voters chose him fully knowing what he stands for.

UiTM bukan seperti universiti awam yang lain. With its 30 campuses and 21 affiliated colleges in every state, UiTM is the biggest university in Malaysia with 10x the student population of UM. Yuran juga lebih murah.
