Books are not expensive. Our wages are low. If publishers sell at $20 (the price of two meals in U.S.), no way our local bookstores can sell lower than RM80 (price of 10 meals in Malaysia) without incuring a loss. Which brings me to BookXcess.

attended a Malaysiakini program and there's this vernacular-educated Chinese sending his kid to Malay boarding school for a change. And a Malay who is now a Mandarin news presenter after belajar sekolah cina. Malaysia needs more people making cross-pollination decisions like them.

Singapore want to strong-arm Mahathir Mohamad, the man that went to China and cancelled multi-billion projects and said to China, in China, "new form of colonialism"?. Pick your battle, de-escalate, wait till next PM, negotiate your terms. Nobody ever threatened Mahathir and won.

Kenapa journalists di Malaysia kurang menulis buku? In the U.S., many award-winning books are written by journalists. Understandably so since journalists can write with flair, do longform reporting, communicate well with public/lay audience.

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.

@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 🥲

"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.
