Also this: Though the rise in popularity of TikTok is prominent among youths, it was only the third most-used platform for current affairs (18%), with Facebook (29%) and Instagram (25%) still acting as primary platforms for political goings-on in Malaysia. Compartmentalisation?

When haters go after your looks and differences, it means they have nowhere left to go. And then you know you’re winning! I have Aspergers and that means I’m sometimes a bit different from the norm. And - given the right circumstances- being different is a superpower. #aspiepower

Kalau saya mahu jadi menteri, caranya saya cium tangan pimpinan termasuk @chedetofficial @anwaribrahim bukan menegur. Kalau saya mahu jadi menteri, saya tidak ambil risiko sehingga dipenjara 4 tahun. Kritikan terhadap saya itu boleh saya terima, ttp jangan menghina
