This angers me so much. Did you know that the British also used Agent Orange in Malaya? It was experimented in Malaysia before being used in the Vietnam War since US and UK were allies.

Ada betul kena nasihat secara senyap sebab mereka masih saudara sesama Islam, masih ada iman pada Allah SWT. Kena ada sifat ikhsan untuk manusia. Kena ada sifat adil untuk manusia. Segala dosa Allah SWT boleh ampunkan. Cuma sebab internet je kita orang awam boleh tahu cerita nih.

We're expanding at The Asia Foundation, and a few positions are open. We're a women-led organisation, with Dr Robin Bush spearing-heading this amazing group of women. We have two positions open right now:

What Mahathir did to my grandfather, who was ostracised, has come back to him. Only this time, Mahathir wayang. This is all for show to gain pity.

invite him sbg tanda appreciation. Whether he wants to attend that is another story. It seems the one who preached abt Madani don't truly understand the meaning of Madani.

@maxwalden_ SEA and I hate begpackers. Strong feelings abt it, no doubt. It’s a manifestation of privilege. Just cause your skintone’s lighter and you have blue eyes, you get away with it. Lots of shade thrown at potential begpackers disrespecting immigration laws over at KL Expats group.

@bytebot The article and reference to “crusades” was all wrong. We all love the past, but it was easy to love when you’re in ISKL. Malaysian never stopped being Malaysia. You want 70s? A nostalgia trip? Masuk kampung. KL stopped being nostalgic, but doesn’t mean people don’t preserve.

My doors rattled and for a moment there, me, a Malaysian Malay, obviously thought that my house was haunted and it was a ghost coming to disturb me.

@afifster I know a lot of people that save a lot of money. The exchange rate can be painful to people, so I don’t judge. Plus not everyone is open/comfortable with everything available/know where to source food.

And I’ve seen how hard these people work to preserve and pass it on. Those working part time to make Batik more accessible by wearing it different ways. Because batik is part of our culture. Or those organising events to encourage women to wear kain batik.. the list goes on..

@AnnuarMusa Mungkin ni tempat salah kot, Annuar Musa. Please give some green spaces jugak. Kalau nak letak gerai kat sana, parking mana? Otak kat lutut ke? Asyik nak buat untung je org tua ni.

With @Khairykj as the new Health Minister, I'm hoping consideration is given to mental health. Bukan shj create awareness, but providing infrastructure, making help available & providing infra. Masalah COVID-19 ni bukan shj masalah kesihatan fizikal, tapi juga kesihatan mental.

Is anyone interested in adopting a cat? Buddy is a beautiful, half Oyen 4 year old cat with a grumpy voice but he’s lovely. He is neutered! He used to live with my grandparents but my grandparents have since died and the new home owners aren’t keen on adopting him.

It’s nice to gain a different perspective rather than jump to conclusions on why some people don’t find #DudukRumah an easy thing. FYI, Majlis Agama Islam Kelantan and the State Govt have begun their initiatives in channeling funds. 5mil has been reserved for Covid-19, too.

@aidilarazak Were they Tg Rozlan & Tg Salwani? They’re my grandaunts and often can be embarrassed by their lack of “KL-ness”. Or rather, maybe all Kelantanese understand being detached from “KL”.
