I’m really speechless when I saw the video of a local university professor lambasted her student who cannot afford to buy a laptop.
If I’m the lecturer, I’ll buy one for the student instead.
And I believe, the student will pay it forward one day to help others.
Be kind.
I have my respects for Ain’s father, Saiful Nizam for empowering and standing by his daughter in light of the rape jokes by the school teacher.
It is important for parents to listen to the voices of their children, provide them support and guidance.

That's really embarrassing seeing how Prasarana's chairman behaviour to the press.

TV3 Nightline's veteran news anchor Raymond Goh, passed away this morning at Assunta Hospital, Petaling Jaya. He suffered a stroke on August 30.
Goh, known for his golden voice in the media industry, has more than 30 years of experience. Down-to-earth, humble and easily…
Till today, no one knows the name of the teacher who made the rape joke in the class.
When the case is taken to the court for trial, then we will know the name of the teacher who made the rape joke.
Now, that’s the Streisand Effect.
Then, the whole country will know who he is.
In case you missed it,

Missing the old times.
Gao Mian, the foreign correspondent of Phoenix TV from China was doing her job asking pertinent questions after the train incident last night. Seeing how the Prasarana chairman berated her publicly that way, she deserves an apology.
This is not how you treat journalists.
National singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia was slapped with two year ban by the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) after his resignation from the national body.
Just moments ago, his social media profile were changed to black.
TW: Suicide.
Instead of RT, I’d rather screenshot. Higher engagement will just feed to her ego of getting viral.
Now, curiosity or not, this reeks a lack of empathy and poor understanding of people living with depression and suicidal ideation.
Malaysia is among the top disaster responders in the region, alongside Singapore and Indonesia. Malaysia was among the first responders during the Palu earthquake and Acheh tsunami in Indonesia.
We do have the capability and capacity to deal with major disaster response.
Former health minister and Kuala Selangor MP

It's very seldom to see Dr Dzulkefly speaking so passionately.
Marvel's Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is out today but unfortunately, our cinemas are still closed in Malaysia.
Interesting to note that there are 2 Malaysian 🇲🇾 actors (Michelle Yeoh & Ronny Chieng) and two Indonesian 🇮🇩 rappers (NIKI & Rich Brian) in the film.

To be told I’m not Malaysian enough and should be grateful to be given a citizenship because I’m a minority.
To be told I’m not Malaysian enough because part of my heritage, my ancestors came from China.…
The foreign correspondent from Phoenix TV China asked a good question about the concerns that there are many Covid-19 patients who are receiving treatment, and at the same time making sure that the victims from the train incident are safe as well.

Why we have to stand up and speak out.

You’re really brave, Ain!

Been there done that. Sometimes no matter how many times we tried to explain to our elders in Whatsapp, they still share misleading information.
My usual "Section 233A of CMA" and "Section 505 of the Penal Code" are at my finger tips.

"I thought it should be just with the editors, why should it be live? Cannot be live because I've just delivered my keynote. Recording bolehlah, but not live," caretaker PM Muhyiddin Yassin was heard saying to his aides before the presser.
Alright, I've added subtitles and increased the audio to make it easier for you to catch what the caretaker PM Muhyiddin Yassin said before the closed press conference with selected editors from local media organisations at Perdana Putra building in Putrajaya.
A student calling out her teacher for "rape jokes" gets intimidated with RM1 million suit.
Any actions taken by the the Education Ministry to address this problem?
Isn't this an act to harm the student mentally as well?
Ridiculous.
“Cerakin” is not new, used to see that during my school days, in both Bahasa Malaysia and Mathematics (it was in Malay back then).
This is good, rather than using “partisipasi” or “konklusi” or “eksesais”.
Musa Aman faced 30 corruption charges involving US$50.1 million and 16 money laundering charges involving more than US$37.8 million and S$2.5 million.
That’s a total of USD89.7 million or RM376.74 million.
Now, all cases are dropped and we don’t know why.
This is not a roast, this is very alarming. A person of influence telling Muar MP Syed Saddiq to "jump off KLCC".
This is not right, this has to be called out.
We are not stupid.
What is the coincidence that the Parliament goes on a lockdown to screen all MPs because of two Covid-19 positive cases in the Parliament, right after the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s decree?

What about wedding videos, birthday videos, react videos, Facebook live videos, commercial advertisement videos, news reports, gadget review videos, etc.
Oh, that affects everyone from posting Instagram and TikTok videos.
What now Malaysia? What have we become?
After working for almost a decade in Kuala Lumpur, this was my first time visiting the National Zoo or Zoo Negara near Gombak.
It was really packed a day after Christmas and in the midst of the school holidays, it is expected. However, I left with mix feelings, disappointment.
Why were the authorities spraying disinfectants on undocumented migrants during the operation last night?
What is the purpose of doing so? Won't that be harmful to their health?
I hope

British Pound to Malaysian Ringgit almost hit 6.00.
Singapore Dollar to Ringgit is now at 3.46, going to be 3.50.
As for Euro, I remember it was ranging between 4.70 to 4.80 when I was working with the EU. Now, it’s 5.12.
US Dollar to Ringgit is now at 4.6660.
Look at unruly MPs heckling Muar MP
@SyedSaddiq
again and again, calling him a 'small boy' (budak kecil) in the midst of the Covid19 bill.
Baling & Bintulu MP interrupted again when Saddiq took the floor to debate. We need more young people in the Parliament.

It was a good speech by 🇲🇾 Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim at the UN tonight, with the right analyses of the current dynamics of the world.
Ranging from “minilateralism” to Islamophobia, adverse effects of climate change, dynamics in ASEAN and Asia Pacific, Myanmar and Ukraine
Senior defence minister Ismail Sabri posted a cryptic post which reads “I’ve closed the front door but....” and ends with a sad emoji.
It is unsure what were the reasons behind such cryptic post.
One of the latest attractions in Kuching, the Borneo Cultures Museum. Dubbed as the 2nd largest in Southeast Asia, it is packed with many people this weekend before August 1, with the start of entrance payment.
Xenophobia is still a major problem in Malaysia, how we discriminate people with darker skin coming from developing countries and treating those expats with fair skin with a red carpet.
The problem is real and we have to address them. How we treat Indian minorities, Orang Aslis.
It took one week to act.
One week to wake up. One week to realise.
One. Freaking. Week.
More than 40 lives were lost. Tens of thousands suffered. Unacceptable.
When one of the MPs asked Kinabatangan MP, “Going to Casino?” in the midst of his question, Bung Moktar hurled back with “F**k You!” in the August House.
This is embarrassing.
Let me share my personal story.
I did my SPM back in 2004 and scored 10As.
Both my parents then were in the government service and I do consider them in the middle-income bracket.

Shouting match ensues on the last day of special Parliamentary sitting on midterm review of 12th Malaysia Plan. The session erupted in a "screaming" match instead of shouting when Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim took on the floor in the rounding up of the review.
"Duduk!" and…
Sorry.
You lost in the election. You got less than 10% of the votes.
You lost your deposit. You failed to defend your own seat.
Calling for a snap poll?
No.
Meanwhile, Sinar Harian reported that House Speaker Azhar Azizan Harun is allegedly resigning as the Speaker of the House.
However, nothing is certain at this moment, and I have also reached out the Speaker for a comment and reply.
I'm impressed with

manner and professionalism in managing media questions and queries. Cool, calm and informative.
These will be among my case study observations for future use.

Waking up to check what’s trending in Malaysia, looks like there’s a lot of anger and dissatisfaction with
#KerajaanGagal
taking the top trending in Malaysia.
The frustration is real.
126 people died today from Covid-19. That may be someone's father, mother, brother or sister, or close relatives and friends.
126 is not just a number of deaths today.
Yet, some ministers are posting cryptic messages.
True. Some of the subjects in the university for undergraduates such as ethnic relations, Islamic civilisations are not relevant. These are already covered in secondary school lessons.
Yet, public universities made it mandatory to all students to take these subjects.
Ahli Parlimen Muar, Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman merasakan ada subjek di IPT yang tidak relevan untuk diambil dan perlu diaudit semula.

Dear Malaysians, please ensure your MPs inform you as well. As voters, demand your MPs to disclose their nominations to Agong.
I don't understand why we can't hold a special parliamentary sitting to vote for a new PM and then the Speaker presents it to the King.
I just checked, it is listed as Business, instead of Economy using Malaysia Airlines app.
The same too on .
However, if you search on AirAsia app, it erroneously listed as Economy for the same flight. Why would you book MAS flight on AirAsia app?
Ini respons saya terhadap dakwaan YB Anthony Loke, Menteri Pengangkutan mengenai kadar tambang penerbangan sehala RM3,138 dari Kuala Lumpur ke Tawau. YB Anthony Loke mendakwa bahawa saya tidak dapat membezakan kadar tambang kelas ekonomi dan perniagaan.
Glad to be back in Malaysia. After spending a week long break in South Korea, I was mentally jotting down the notes from my observations around the city of Seoul.
Big city, well organised and connected from first mile to the last mile. I was staying near the city in Dongjak-gu.
Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin calling supreme council members for meeting tonight at his house.
At the same time, another emergency meeting was called by PAS tonight to discuss the withdrawal of support by Umno.
It will be a very long night.
Towards the end of the Q&A session,
@anwaribrahim
stood up from his seat and rallied the crowd with “Reformasi” and said that seeing the support from the young people gives him hope and making his day.
Dear young Malaysians,
#Undi18

17 men and 2 females were hauled in police trucks tonight during the candlelight vigil organised by the Sekretariat Solidariti Rakyat in remembrance of the lives lost due to Covid-19 at Dataran Merdeka.
Dear Malaysians, 5 years ago I decided to fly home to Kuching on the same day to cast my vote.
Malaysians were ineligible to vote at the embassy in Singapore, many of us travelled home to exercise our rights.
Democracy does not come easy, people die fighting for it. Undilah.
What a waste of time chasing after this sort of story! I first saw photos coming in via Whatsapp on

Goes to show how sexist, ridiculous people out there only looking out for looks and tabloid-ish stories.

It’s like how sometimes when cheeky friends always ask us from Sarawak if we live on trees.
That’s condescending.
