Lol no, I wasn't asking you to look at the timing in the notices, I meant look at which routes aren't affected. Those routes that weren't mentioned meant they were serviced by Brahim's. Yours not being mentioned meant very likely back then it was one of those covered by that contract, and that explained why it sucks.

Which route? The ones that're still with full service are apparently the ones that's always been serviced by their in-house catering. The rest all under Brahim's contract which mmg gone downhill

I've seen anecdotes (with evidence of emails or a BFM tweet) that banks are starting to charge transaction fee for duitnow transactions. I haven't seen anything from CIMB but I've seen RHB and OCBC. Anyone else?

At this point I feel mostly better (loss of smell though) but clearly get winded very very fast, and considering RTK pun still positive, I might be infectious enough so I don't know if it's worth going out. But stress cos sharing space with family members so I really can't do a lot of the usual chores. Still, impressed by how well my body membiakkan this virus 😑

I'll try and see - or maybe I'm just very ... viral

Henlo I am still positive on COVID RTK even after a week 😭

 

More Singaporean side but I think the general findings applicable here. Got it from @[email protected] fedi post! https://hachyderm.io/@liztai/111028272906205950

 

So here's a thing.


Organised by the International Society for BTS Studies (ISBS) and Universiti Malaya (UM), the upcoming fourth edition conference in 2023 to be hosted by Malaysia is scheduled to be held for the first time in Southeast Asia from 16-17 Aug.

In an interview with Bernama recently, UM's Department of East Asian Studies of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Associate Professor Dr Jimmyn Parc said as this year marks the 40th anniversary of South Korea's inclusion in the Look East Policy (LEP), the conference is dubbed as a vital component of the "New LEP".

 

Six months have since passed and the patient is now living a healthy life. The transplant has thus been hailed as a resounding success.

To learn more about the operation, FMT Lifestyle spoke to three representatives from the medical team behind it. These were Dr Lim Soo Kun, a nephrologist and UMMC’s renal division head; Dr Shanggar Kuppusamy, a urologist; and Dr Raja Iskandar Shah Raja Azwa, an infectious disease expert.

 

Idk why suddenly our skyline is a source of inspo. As I was about to post this, I got hit by this advertorial lol: https://tudungpeople.com/pages/pertubuhan-akitek-malaysia-pam?ad_id=23857298704890425&campaign_id=23857298592610425#collection

I only disagree because like islamists need another excuse to point to to say see see other ppl agree eye-for-an-eye/old testament laws are tooootally appropriate. 😌

In general expenditure for space exploration (or big ticket stuff) is usually a red herring in conversations about poverty eradication. In part because there's the 1:1 fallacy in administration (tau tau a significant part is state authorities and their taxation revenue) but also in terms of dividends down the line. For sure you can critique the priorities on a matter of principle but it's not like USA was evenly and uniformly rich during their space race years (racial segregation pun was still ongoing apatah lagi how native Americans were actively experiencing cultural genocide).

What is interesting is the long-term impact to their ICT and technical R&D industries. Like it or not, one of their demographical time bomb was having a highly educated middle class and coming with no real pathway to a career outside the service sector and/or migration. Will this be enough of a pull factor? NASA is still operating in Florida because equatorial advantage despite the politics being so shit; many expats would still continue to work in China if they weren't being discouraged to do so. Speaking of China, having manufacturing hubs like Shenzen arguably contributed to improved economic conditions and India has an even younger and dynamic population who may take all the science and engineering they're learning formally and informally and do something. The fact that a lot of space-oriented tech has come back to earth such as it is, and entered civilian life in good ways can't be overstated (titanium and lighter metals = better designed tools and prosthesis for the old and the disabled; better water filtration; carbon dioxide filtration), so imagine what can happen if much of this can be done on a global south economic budget.

In any case, if I want to be genuinely concerned I would think about the fueling needs of such a sector and the fact that both India and Pakistan are nuclear-owning countries 😌 but I remain always hopeful whenever any genie is out of the bottle when it comes to common folk having the access to improve themselves and change the overall condition.

From the link:
In Singapore and beyond, there has been a quickening of interest in the anticolonial and socialist struggle of the 50s and 60s after the publications of archival research by historian PJ Thum and of the Eisner-winning graphic novel The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye by Sonny Liew, among other works. The undisputed leader of this historical struggle was the student activist, trade unionist, and politician Lim Chin Siong (LCS), who organised the largest social movement in Singapore to fight for democracy, freedom, and justice. Although this movement ultimately failed, it opens a window into an alternative future for Singapore, Malaysia, and the rest of Asia—a window that creative writers with their imaginative powers can help us look at and through.


Deadline for submissions is 1 December 2023. There are also introductory material on Lim Chin Siong himself and the historical context he was in.

Unfortunately their twitter thread about Lim is not mirrored anywhere else, but if you like, here's the thread

This is very Melayu Singapore/KL imo and I wonder how many of these have broke containment into your everyday lingo?

I've always thought one of the more unfortunate consequences of hak being translated as both right as privilege and right as remedy is this erosion of meaning

 

Since this the café comm after all 😂

IDK if I'd ever consider this as a routine purchase but looks like fun esp if you're having a get together and want to play masak2

It sounds like he's not sure what's the full extent of his medical condition. In the meantime there's a fund you can donate to (announced at end of vid).
