I don't think people are aware of the impact indiscriminate mosquito fogging can have on other creatures too, particularly the bee population. My bee colony is practically wiped out. Very sad to see. I have a few survivors left, but I doubt that they can live long or recover.
Before complaining about women-only spaces — parking, train coaches etc — maybe think a little bit about why those things exist and who made them necessary.
The cat's obvious breathing defect and the cage suggest a very ugly story.
Cat breeding is a cruel and heinous practice. People who engage in this business while calling themselves "cat lovers" are sociopaths because the only thing they care about is money.
“In Malaysia, the Palestinian issue is often framed within a very religious context, which is incorrect. We don’t want Muslims to push away people from other religions and prevent them from engaging with our cause since Palestinians include Christians, Jews, and even Baha’is."
I saved a woman from being murdered by her ex-boyfriend... by knocking on her door to check on her after hearing suspicious screams precisely as he was about to kill her.
So a friend/ex-colleague I've not heard from in over a year just texted me out of the blue, asking for help.
Naturally, I asked the necessary security validation question.
Spoiler alert: Yes, it's a scammer, and yes, it looks like his device is compromised.
Everyone's talking about the so-called "sudden shift" to the extreme right in Malaysia, like it's new. It's not new or sudden; the writings have been on the walls for some time. FYI I've written two pubs on Southeast Asia's growing online ethnonationalist and far-right movements.

I'm very impressed that people actually think that cat owners can sit cats down and say to them, "Okay, buddy, you use only your litter box from now on."

My sister was falsely imprisoned last year in Bangkok for the exact same reason: failure at providing consular service.
My sister who worked as an architect once told me the reason developers often ignore inclusive designs and CPTED is because they cost too much to figure out the effectiveness while being aesthetically pleasing. This is why we end up with mostly IG-friendly hostile architecture.
I would caution all of you against sharing and amplifying hateful content, regardless of your intent. Do not give them oxygen. If I see any of them, I will report them for removal. Tensions are high. Do not stoke fire and try be responsible online users. Be better.
You know what else would be great? If local Malay(sian) fashion houses would stop using European and Eastern European models to model their designs and start hiring local brown women. Or are Malaysian women just not beautiful or good enough by their standards? Or too brown?
I never made it a secret that I used to work as a waitress. In fact, I'm proud of it. I just learned how a certain someone was shitting on me for waitressing just so they could discredit me as a CT practitioner.

Isn't it time for Malaysian employers to stop requiring photos and other irrelevant information on CVs to reduce implicit bias in hiring?
It's 2021 ffs. This practice needs to go.
When sending CVs in, choose a professional photo. No matter what job you are applying for, selfies in front of a mirror would discount your chances considerably
I've had a few people discouraging my choice to opt for AZ, and I don't know if it helps to read my decision process:
1. I did the readings and decided that the benefits far outweigh the risks.
2. The best vaccination is ones that are immediately available.
Sorry not sorry but Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor was such a trash pick. It was really obvious why he won, and it certainly wasn't because of merit or ability.

A lot of people still don't understand what period of incubation means. If you've had close contact or have been potentially exposed to a PUI, you still need to isolate yourself for two weeks even if you tested negative and complete your quarantine.

? Framing this narrative absent of the actual context is highly irresponsible journalism. Malaysia is doing a much better job at flattening the curve than the shameful disaster that is the US.

Where are you getting "intelligence agent" from?
Words mean things. That's not what the IGP said in his presser. He said they're still investigating him, and only described him as an "Israeli citizen".
1. Police have arrested a suspected Israeli intelligence agent at a hotel on Jalan Ampang, prompting heightened security measures.
The 36-year-old man entered Malaysia with a French passport and then handed over an Israeli passport, said IGP Razarudin Husain.

I had the honour and privilege to have worked with one of them, and he is nothing short of excellent at his duties. Completely undeserving of this disgraceful treatment that is clearly eager to callously assign blame on him. Absolutely shameful governance.

First, you thought you could fool us with junk science, supposedly quantifying how one social media platform is worse than another.
Now, you're exposing your lack of knowledge about internet accessibility.

This has been one of my major gripes ever since I started working in Malaysia. WhatsApp outside of working hours should be outlawed. I know it's fast and efficient when it comes to urgency, but it's also susceptible to employer abuse.
Last night in my talk, I specifically highlighted how some form of violence is committed as a "cleansing act". For "purification".
I was not expecting to see a waterboarding video in my feed to fully demonstrate my point.
Scientific career in Malaysia is not rewarding enough, and too often policymakers themselves reject evidence-based and empirical studies. Data collection is already made difficult by gatekeeping and compartmentalisation. Also the KPI system is a self-inflicted injury.
Mystery.
1. Students’ interest in Science declined to 40% last year, dropping about 26% since 2019, according to a 2022 study by MOSTI.
Deputy Minister Arthur Joseph Kurup says this is because students are more inclined towards non-science-based fields.
Majlis Amanah Rakyat has terminated the contract of a cafeteria operator at MRSM Taiping and plans to sue the company for damages.
The lawsuit is due to an alleged breach of contract and failure to maintain cleanliness, causing food poisoning among its students last month.

I also feel like this guy is forgetting the fact that part of the reason this is happening is because of the absence of human workforce to keep things clean and run maintenance.
Spectacularly daft decision. The entire ministry not only should answer for this, they should be overhauled. Nope, "public safety" is not a sufficient excuse.

A couple of other people already pointed this out, but would appreciate it if local journalists would start using "Islamists" instead of "Islamic" to accurately capture the nuance of this supremacist sentiment.
Words mean things.
Scores of Islamic rights activists gathered to protest against mdm Loh Seng Hong’s habeas corpus application, seeking an immediate return of her three children. The children she said were taken away and converted to Muslims without her consent.Judge Collin Sequerah is presiding.
1. Approaching prospective employees via WhatsApp should never be normalised. Use the telephone or email - why are you so lazy?
2. You seem like someone who wouldn't hesitate to abuse your position of power. In retrospect, probably best Mary doesn't work with someone like you.
Rina Harun needs to be removed from her position. I can't tell if she's being unironic or if she's deliberately pretending to be clueless, but what's certain is that she's unfit for her role. Children are not the consumers here. I don't know why this needs to be spelled out.
A parasitic elitist who thinks B40s contribute nothing to the economy while plagiarising from other people's artwork is a poor definition of a hero.

While the topic of hacking is still hot, I'd like to steer you all to a familiar tale. Recently,
@TheVenusDarling
was a victim of a scamming attempt. "Attempt" because, luckily, she quickly realised what was happening and consulted me. A walkthrough:
Describing what happened yesterday as a mere scam doesn't communicate entirely how severe it was. What happened yesterday was an attack. I was attacked by people armed with information carelessly leaked and now I am feeling the after effects of this encounter.
MH-17 was also a Malaysian Airlines aircraft, yet there seems to be a collective amnesia about this tragedy from the top down while we simp for Russia. The only Malaysian lives impacted by this tragedy were the families of those involved — quiet and forgotten.
"…it was the Dutch who had experienced first-hand the effects of Putin’s war in Ukraine when in 2014, a Russian anti-aircraft Buk missile shot down flight MH-17 killing all 298 passengers onboard, including more than 80 children."
We don't need cytros. Let me be clear. I'm dead against the use of cytros. Good stratcomm messaging is what we need. Cytros are just detrimental in the long run.
Good morning Malaysia. The attacks have begun. Don't think we are too good not to respond. I expect a cytro team established ASAP
