I live in a developing nation called Malaysia. Some of you might not know where exactly it is. We’re a small country of 34 million, formed in 1963, not even 100 years old. Maybe you’ve heard of the Petronas Twin Towers. If not, chances are you’ve probably never heard much about us at all. We’re kind of the underdog of countries. Multilingual. Multi-cultural. Still figuring things out. But today feels like a win for Malaysians. While fuel prices are high around the world, here our price is RM1.99 per litre (about US$0.42). It even dropped by RM0.06 beginning today for eligible Malaysians. For some, that may not sound like much but for millions of Malaysians, every cent matters. And it’s possible because the government subsidises fuel and because we produce oil ourselves. This is managed under a program called BUDI95 as you can see from the screenshot. It’s a targeted subsidy scheme where eligible Malaysians receive a 300-litre quota of petrol per month at the subsidised price. To access it, we use our national ID card (with a built-in electronic chip), which verifies our identity at the pump. The system is also integrated with cashless apps, making the whole process seamless. (Our ID card can also be used to pay for parking, highway tolls, metro, trains etc). So today, I can pull up to a station, use my ID card and refuel with a benefit that helps millions of Malaysians keep daily costs manageable. I share this because: (a) My audience comes from all around the world and no international media outlet will ever report this. 😂 (b) My point isn’t to brag, but to show how even small, developing nations can innovate and progress. To my fellow Malaysians: congratulations on this historic day. Sometimes, being the underdog means we quietly make things work. And that’s something worth celebrating. And by the way, next year is Visit Malaysia Year 2026. If you’re curious to know more about us, just head over to YouTube. You’ll find countless travellers who’ve discovered how special this country really is.

[Reflections] Not getting into Universiti Malaya is not the end of the world. It has always been competitive, even back in 2006 when I completed my STPM. This is a long post, please be patient with me. I did not manage a perfect CGPA of 4.00, but I was satisfied with 3.42. •General Paper (Pengajian Am): A •Biology: B •Chemistry: B •Pure Mathematics: B In SPM 2004, I scored 10As (7A1, 3A2). I applied for every major scholarship available at the time, yet received no reply. Why? Because I made mistakes in my applications and did not optimise my chances. Information was limited then, and I simply did not know better. I was offered places at UNITEN and MMU for engineering, but I declined. My parents could not afford to support another child studying in West Malaysia while my brother was already in UPM. Form 6 and STPM became my only path, since I was not offered matriculation or foundation programmes. At that time, I felt deeply disappointed. But looking back now, it was a valuable lesson. After STPM, I applied more carefully, determined not to repeat the mistakes I made after SPM. With my CGPA, I had more choices and kept an open mind. Out of eight programme options, I was offered my preferred choice: Bachelor of Nursing (Honours) at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). Coincidentally, it was in my hometown, at the same university and programme where my mother worked as a clinical instructor. Sometimes, God arranges things in ways we cannot immediately understand. I began my studies with a PTPTN loan, but later managed to secure a JPA scholarship after working hard to make the Dean’s List. That support carried me through all four years at UNIMAS, and it was truly a blessing. I knew then that entering prestigious universities such as Universiti Sains Malaysia or Universiti Malaya as an undergraduate was unlikely. These institutions were highly competitive, as they still are today. Yet the journey I took brought me to where I am now. Since graduating from UNIMAS in 2011, I have no regrets. The experiences, challenges, and people I met shaped me into who I am today. In Malay, we call this rezeki, or blessings from above. When one door closes, another will open, provided we are willing to create new paths and step forward ourselves. There is a Malay proverb that stays with me: “Ukur baju pada badan sendiri, hendak seribu daya, tak hendak seribu dalih.” Knowing your own limits, being humble, and persevering with effort are all important. Life is not always fair and there will be discrimination and setbacks, but that should not stop us from seeking other options or creating our own opportunities. In October 2021, I finally entered Universiti Malaya to pursue a Master’s in Public Policy, the university I had dreamed of since my undergraduate days. I graduated in 2022 while still working at the EU, 11 years after my bachelor’s in 2011. Now, as I prepare for my next chapter, I remind myself of a phrase I learned from my Muslim friends: “Wallahu A’lam” — God knows best. But faith alone is not enough. We must put in effort, remain open to opportunities, and keep moving forward. Looking back, every rejection, every closed door, and every disappointment turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Life is not about where you begin, but about the resilience and choices that carry you forward.

If the police can't restrain themselves from killing civilians, Indonesians are truly fucked then.

fun fact: high IQ people wont tweet “lelaki melayu semua sampah” or “perempuan melayu semua sampah”. these high IQ people dont find it amusing to fill their head with such naive, dimwitted thoughts. if you see one tweeting macam tu, now you know why. lol

I’m sick of westerners acting like it’s shameful to live & take care of your parents. In my culture (& many Asian cultures) staying close to your parents, living w/ them & taking care of them is love, not failure. But here, it’s judged like it’s something you should be ashamed of

Why the fuck is this man still alive? He should be shot to death instantly! Fuck!

Korang tengok tak Mekyun berjaya lenyapkan “Group Budak2 Sekolah Rendah” dekat Facebook? Group ni banyak gambar budak-budak sekolah and followers majoriti orang dewasa/tua yang sexualise budak-budak. Dah lah ramai yang guna gambar betul, comment jijik-jijik.

Malas nak gi undi dah lepas ni. Nepotism masih berleluasa. Thank you for your hard work YB Rafizi!

A distressed Indian woman was found hiding near Surau Madrasatul Huda in Alor Setar with her newborn baby, who was wrapped only in a towel. Pleading not to be turned away, she was comforted by surau committee members, who persuaded her to seek refuge inside for safety. 🧵1

Kami yg 40s ni memang suka tunjuk muka muda kami, including myself lol

I don't need a stewardess to give me her number. When flying MAS, I just need her to give me extra peanuts. Oh sedapnya kacang

Saya bukan penyokong PMX. But in comparison between the current govt and PN's line up, memang saya akan sokong the current govt. I don't see anyone potentially strong to lead Malaysia from the other side.

Ni namanya tua tak sedar diri. Kenapa kau sendiri tak contohi Pak Lah? Lepas dia letak jawatan dia takde sibuk² nak masuk campur urusan kerajaan Malaysia. Kenapa kau tak follow? Kenapa kau yg dah tua ganyang makin dekat kubur still nak berpolitik?

She can say otherwise but belen tetap belen. Had the opportunity to block him within a year but never did. Tetap melayan DM doctor pervert ni. Suka dapat attention. The simplest explanation is, she's a narcissist.
