Just because the air in Malaysia is now free from the haze, does not mean we have to stop talking about it. Keep talking about forest fires, keep demanding corporate accountability, keep asking for Clean Air Act for our country & keep protesting for justice.

one of the ways malaysia can move forward is abolish the rule that we cant sentuh isu "sensitive". how can we evaluate and find issues in certain aspects of our system if we cant even be critical about the culture we grew up in

One thing life has taught me is, your morals in most cases, are determined by circumstance. You will absolutely find yourself in a position you once judged

this is why you have to raise your kids on specific, pre-21st century media. Tintin, Calvin and Hobbes, Moomin, Asterix, Wishbone, etc. the people who made those things were operating on a completely different paradigm as to what children want and need.

When the last several Harry Potter books were released, we had midnight book launches attended by millions. Children, in some cases very young, finished these 700 & 800 page books in a single day. And now people are telling me I made it up, that this couldn’t ever have happened.

Being right years ahead of others isn’t nearly as satisfying as people think. Nobody apologizes for treating you like a crazy. They just come back years later, repeating what you told them as if it’s some groundbreaking revelation because they finally heard it from someone else.

Google plans to invest US$15 billion in Malaysia between 2027 and 2028, including new data centre campuses in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan.
The construction phase is expected to contribute an annual average of US$1.1 billion to Malaysia's GDP and support more than 37,000 local jobs, generating US$378 million in annual labour income.

I'm old.
my textbooks had amazing photoshopped airbrush collages.
Absolutely. I have not built any significant wealth but my family now has a stable pillar to lean on. It will take another decade for me to actually build them.
Sometimes the first person in a family to earn significantly more is not building wealth at all. They are financing everyone else's transition from survival to stability. It is a responsibility that deserves more nuanced conversations.

“…those who haven't hand-washed clothes think laundry is easy; those who haven't mopped the floor a few times don't know the backache and soreness that follow. They completely fail to understand that creation is no different from labor…”
