On 11 July at 7:24 PM, I was assaulted by two men at the Caltex petrol station in Sri Damansara.
I sustained a fractured eye socket and multiple injuries to my body. A police report has been lodged, and the case is currently under investigation.
I’m sharing this to inform those who know me and to remind everyone to stay aware of your surroundings and stay safe.

AMD ACABA DE MATAR LAS SUSCRIPCIONES DE IA
La CEO de AMD Lisa Su presento oficialmente una PC del tamaño de una lonchera y ejecuto en vivo un modelo de 235 mil millones de parametros
Sin centro de datos. Sin nube. Sin GPU alquiladas
El chip en su interior es el AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395
Es el primer chip x86 en el que la CPU y la GPU comparten el mismo bloque de memoria
Hasta 128 GB de memoria unificada
Una RTX 5090 te ofrece 32 GB de memoria de video
Una 4090 te da 24 GB
Pero esta pequeña maquina te ofrece mas de tres veces la memoria de cualquiera de ellas
Y cabe en una mochila
En inferencia con DeepSeek R1 le gano a una RTX 5080 por 3x
Una desktop del tamaño de un libro grueso superando una tarjeta grafica de mas de mil dolares en una carga de trabajo real de IA
Ahora haz las cuentas de tus suscripciones
Claude Code Max: $200 al mes
ChatGPT Pro: $200
Cursor: $20
Gemini: $20
Son $5,280 al año antes de construir una sola cosa
La version de 128GB de esta maquina cuesta entre $1,800 y $2,500
A ese ritmo se paga sola en menos de un año
Y despues corre sin costes adicionales, GRATIS
> Instalas Ollama
> Bajas Qwen3 235B
> Apuntas Claude Code a localhost
> La misma interfaz que ya usas
> Nada sale de tu maquina
> Nada cuesta por request
> Sin limitaciones a las 3am cuando por fin tienes tiempo para construir
Los abogados dejan de preocuparse por lo que OpenAI hace con sus archivos
Los developers dejan de ver el contador de tokens
Los founders dejan de matar prototipos porque la factura de la nube los asusta
La IA local ya no es solo una opcion mas economica
Es la unica IA que nadie puede quitarte
Y la pregunta ya no es si la IA local es lo suficientemente buena
Esta claro que si lo es
La verdadera pregunta es por que seguir pagando suscripciones cada mes cuando puedes correrla tu mismo

Two Bulgarian friends killed the entire streaming industry.
It's called Stremio + Torrentio. You get 4K content from Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max combined for free.
Here's how it works.
Stremio is the player. Clean interface. Works on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and TV. You install it once and it looks like any other streaming app.
Torrentio is the addon. You add it to Stremio in one click. It scrapes content from every major torrent provider on the internet simultaneously and delivers the best available stream directly to your player. 720p, 1080p, 4K. You pick the quality. It finds the link.
→ No account required
→ No subscription
→ Works on every device
→ 4K and HDR supported
→ Subtitles built in
Netflix cannot shut this down. There is no central server to seize. No company to pressure. No domain to kill. It runs on your device and pulls from the open internet.
The entire streaming industry is built on one assumption. That you will keep paying $70/month rather than spend 5 minutes on GitHub.
That assumption just died in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Johor Darul Ta'zim Club 🇲🇾 has ordered me to delete my post and publish another one within 24 hours stating that the club – and, above all, its owner, the Regent of Johor – has nothing to do with any of this, failing which I face attacks and legal action
Firstly : intimidation may work on some people, but I have not backed down in the face of international paedophile networks (which have led to the imprisonment of dozens of coaches and officials across the sporting world), so if you think you can intimidate me with this, you can try again.
Secondly : I was referring to the Malaysian Football Association, not your club specifically. Are some of the players sanctioned for false licences part of Johor? Yes (Irazabal, Figueiredo or Hevel). Does that imply that Johor is responsible for the trafficking? No, but on the other hand, Johor may well have inadvertently breached the rule on the number of foreign players allowed in a Malaysian Super League match
Take the match against Negeri Sembilan, where those three players featured, plus the Brazilians Jairo and Bergson, the South Korean Park, the Malian Sidibé, the Spaniard Arribas, and the Azerbaijani Israfilov
There were more than six foreign players on the pitch (seven in the starting line-up), so why didn’t the federation strip them of the victory? The sanction is INTERNATIONAL, so Malaysia Super League must also be affected
Nothing more, unless your club is above the law?
No ill will
Keep the faith !
The system of false nationalities used by the Malaysian Football Association 🇲🇾 has been detrimental not only to Asian opponents but also to Malaysian teams in the league itself, as the fraud benefited the Johor Darul Ta'Zim club – owned by the eldest son of the King of Malaysia and Sultan of Johor
Despite the sanctions imposed (belatedly) by FIFA on the players and the federation (merely a fine), a question arises : how did the officials manage to get away with NOTHING ?
How can the federation continue to act as if nothing had happened, given that Malaysian football is, to boot, riddled with serious problems (refereeing, the fixture list, failure to comply with basic rules and regulations, match-fixing, violence...) ?

TEKUN Corporation Sdn Bhd is a subsidiary of TEKUN Nasional, established in 2014 to support Malaysian SMEs through development, marketing, debt management, branding, product aggregation, and strategic partnerships.
Yet the person appointed chairman in June 2024, at age 28:
– has no industry or SME experience
– has no academic background in business, marketing, or finance
– only worked briefly as a hospital intern in Indonesia before returning to Malaysia in 2022
– has local work experience limited to his father’s parliamentary service centre
– and has a disputed claim of serving as an unregistered doctor at a local clinic
Despite lacking both relevant work experience and relevant academic qualifications, he was tasked with helping SMEs manage debt, build brands, and market products.
A year later, he was promoted again, this time to Minister of Youth and Sports.
That, apparently, is how things work under the Madani government.

I read the news about the PM and his Minister of Home Affairs being summoned by TMJ to the Johor Palace
It was not clear why the visits were done. It could be about security matters, business or whatever else we can think of.
My question to the PM: Are you required to be at Johor Palace whenever the Regent requests it, and can you tell us what matters were discussed?
Do you attend to all the requests for meetings from the nine other Regents in the country, or only Johor
Is it now the practice of our constitutional government that the PM and his Ministers are required to attend meetings with the Regents at the Istana and not divulge what they discussed?
Finally, can the PM say with certainty if his government recognises, in dealing with the Istana, between what is personal and what are affairs of state
Thank you

Netflix just KILLED Hollywood...
By pulling off the most INSANE power move of 2025.
$82.7 billion for Warner Bros, HBO, and HBO Max.
The streaming wars are officially over.
But nobody understands what actually just happened...
For YEARS, Ted Sarandos said: "We're builders, not buyers. We don't need a library."
Then three weeks ago he pulled a complete 180.
And the bidding war was brutal.
Paramount thought they had it locked. David Ellison's dad is Larry Ellison, Oracle founder, one of the richest men alive.
Paramount made THREE bids in September. All rejected. Too low.
But Ellison kept pushing.
He wanted the ENTIRE company including CNN, Discovery Channel, all the cable networks nobody else wanted.
His pitch was simple: "We have White House relationships. Regulatory approval will be easy."
For weeks, everyone thought Paramount would win.
Then Netflix entered the chat...
$27.75 per share. Mix of cash and stock. $82.7 billion total.
Paramount countered with $30 per share, all cash, backed by three Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds.
Higher bid. More cash. Should've won.
But Netflix included something nobody saw coming:
A $5.8 BILLION breakup fee.
If Netflix walks away from this deal, they pay Warner Bros $5.8B.
Nobody puts up breakup fees that big. Ever.
It's Netflix saying "we're so confident we can fight regulators and win, we'll bet $5.8B on it."
Paramount lost their minds.
Thursday morning, Paramount's lawyers sent a 4,000-word letter to Warner Bros CEO David Zaslav.
The letter accused Warner Bros of rigging the process. Said Zaslav had "personal interests in post-transaction roles."
Translation: Zaslav wants a job at Netflix after the deal closes, so he's giving them preferential treatment.
They're literally calling it corruption.
But Netflix just sat on that $5.8B breakup fee and waited.
In the end, Warner Bros picked Netflix.
And here's the thing...
This isn't about streaming.
It's about OWNING the IP before AI makes production costs zero.
Warner Bros owns:
- Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman (entire DC Universe)
- Harry Potter (full franchise rights)
- Game of Thrones, The Sopranos, The Wire
- Friends, The Big Bang Theory
When AI video generation hits in 2-3 years, Netflix bets on "whoever owns the IP wins."
They hope to generate infinite Batman movies and Harry Potter spinoffs using AI at near-zero marginal cost.
The genius move though:
Paramount wanted ALL of Warner Bros Discovery. Including dying cable networks (CNN, TNT, TBS).
Netflix said: "We only want the studio and streaming."
They're letting Warner Bros spin off the garbage cable channels. Then buying ONLY the profitable parts.
Buy the assets. Leave the liabilities.
This deal "kills three birds with one stone" according to Bank of America:
Bird #1: Warner Bros Discovery ceases to exist as a competitor
Bird #2: HBO Max (#3 streaming platform) merges with Netflix (#1)
Bird #3: Every other studio is now officially screwed
Netflix now has:
- World's largest subscriber base (260M+)
- Second-largest content library
- The IP for infinite AI content
- HBO's prestige brand
- Warner Bros' theatrical distribution
Game over.
Anonymous Hollywood producers literally sent letters to Congress BEGGING them to block the deal.
They didn't even sign their names. Too scared of Netflix retaliation.
Senator Warren called it an "anti-monopoly nightmare."
But none of it will matter. Deal's getting approved.
What happens next?
2026: Discovery Global spins off (cable networks)
2026: Netflix acquisition closes
2027: HBO integration begins
2028: AI video generation launches
2029: AI-generated Batman and Harry Potter content
By 2030, Netflix IS Hollywood.
My take?
Thid is smart SHORT TERM. Destroys competition. Locks in IP.
But LONG TERM? When AI video hits, content libraries won't matter. Speed of generation will.
Netflix just spent $82.7B on the past instead of the future.
The next 3 years will tell us which one it is.
