After pay fine, do keep the receipt because after one year I got a letter from KKM saying that I did no payment.

I better just go to an actual snooker place.\nI just think it’s a weird combo.

[ [ "Spouse visa?", "Yes. That is what we're thinking of.", "Google search for Malaysia expect groups/ fb groups. I think higher chance to get answer there.", "Has your marriage been registered with JPN, Malaysia and if so is the registration more than 6 months old ? This is the 1st step to applying for a long term spouse visa(LTSV). If your marriage has been registered with JPN, Malaysia for more than 6 months than upon entering Malaysia you can apply for a LTSV straight away. If not ,then you have to have your marriage registered with JPN first . Then after the marriage has been duly registered (you will be issued with a marriage Cert) , only after 6 months from the date of registration can the application for LTSV be submitted . If your situation falls into the 2nd category then you have to consider that when your spouse enter Malaysia , she will be permitted to remain for 90 days (I’m assuming she holds a Canadian passport - do check her maximum stay period). This presents some problems which can be resolved in the following manner :- 2-3 days before the 90 days permit is up , go to the Immigration Dept and apply for an extension (they only 1 extension only) of 30 days . Towards the end of the extension period, leave the country for somewhere for a 7-10 days holiday and after this re-enter Malaysia and she gets another 90days stay . At this point , by the end of this new period of 90 days , she would have altogether , 90+30+7+90 = 227 days to remain in Malaysia which is enough to meet the 6 months after marriage registration before can submit application for LTSV. Upon submission , the result of the application will be given within 30 “working days”. In the above , you have to make sure that her return air ticket (bought initially when coming to Malaysia) must be able to cater for her need to change her return date to the country of origin .\nI will stop here for you to digest the above information. I have not touched on the requirements and the supporting documents to accompany your LTSV application.\nIt’s better for you to know which of the above 2 routes you have to take , can apply straight away or wait .\nWhen you are ready for the nest stage , you can DM me and I will take you through the necessary steps . I can only offer guidance , I’m not in this type of business and what advice and suggestions if you need them are absolutely free of charge .", "Thank you for all the information provided! I will read through and understand this with my partner. Thank you for taking the time to write all these, I appreciate it very much!", "You are welcome , I hope I’m able to lower your level of anxieties in your planning to apply for a LTSV , it’s daunting as the guidelines can be ambiguous. Good luck with your planning.", "Important Correction :- Man (Malaysian) sponsoring wife for LTSV doesn’t have to wait 6 months after registering marriage with JPN , can apply immediately. If it’s woman sponsoring husband then the 6 months rule apply. Sorry for the question. However , the issue is still whether your marriage has been registered in Malaysia. Be prepared to pay a fine if it hasn’t been registered." ] ]

The franchise are owned by the same individuals from Saudi Arabia, are they suing anyone from Singapore for defamation?\nSimilarly many businesses we use in fact have ties to Israel; Microsoft, Google, Meta, Amazon, Intel, etc.. are we even able to boycott using all the products either ties to Israel? Are we even willing to? Even if we did, are we able to put a dent significant enough into their businesses and profits that they would consider our protests and make changes?" ] ]

But since Bandar Malaysia remained undeveloped, so these two stations were turned into provisional stations, sealed off from the public and waiting for the day where Bandar Malaysia is finally built.\nCurrently if you take the MRT Putrajaya Line, between Chan Sow Lin station and Kuchai station, you can saw the tunnel structure suddenly turn from round shape into square shape 2 times, a row of blue handrails will also appear on the side, this is where those two provisional station's platform located." ] ]

Stay near to KLCC. Explore the hustle and bustle of a city. Go to malls, central market, do a little shopping, try local food and enjoy the man-made attractions. It's a city, pretty much the same everywhere around the world.\nPenang, 5 days. Stay in Georgetown and enjoy the old colonial era charm. Attractions should be within walkable / bikeable distance. Take Grab (hired car) for daytrips to Penang Hill & Botanical Garden (same area) or to beaches in Tanjung Bungah / Batu Feringghi or even further to Teluk Bahang, National Park for more hike and beaches. Penang is well known to be a foodie city. Be sure to sample some of their best cuisine.\nLangkawi, 5 days. Langkawi is a big island and accessibility is poor. Getting a rented car is a must. Unless you plan to hole up in one of the many resorts there. I can't suggest which is the best area to stay. Luxury resorts are located just northwest of Langkawi airport. Cenang used to be good (and probably still is?) and have many affordable options. Kuah is a bustling town, nothing much but even cheaper hotels.\nThere is no airport in Koh Lipe, that means half day of travelling to somewhere just to take a flight.

It’s just my mom said Koh Lipe is one of her dream destinations but looking at it it’s very small so there’s nothing else to really do other than enjoy the world-class beaches and what comes with it. And as we don’t have much time i think the half day traveling with ferry and immigrations checks because of border crossing is probably food reason to leave it for another trip.

I know they can vary a hell of a lot, but generally in my capital Tallinn, in a normal not anything special restaurant the prices vary in the range of 12-18 euros per meal.

This is like if you go to restaurants each time.\nUse grab to go everywhere. It's like Uber. But if you wanna go at your own pace, then maybe rent a car is better. There are plenty of car rentals at the airport.\nHave you thought about exploring East Malaysia, specifically Sabah? It's only 2.5 hours flight from KL.\nIslands in sabah are so beautiful, IMO better than Thai islands. Check out islands in Tawau like Boheydulang, Mabul, Mataking, Sipadan.\nHeck the islands near the state capital, Kota Kinabalu like Sapi, Mantanani, Manukan are also so beautiful. Corals everywhere. I can't find corals in Thai islands near Krabi/Phuket.", "Eating out varies in cost. Kuala Lumpur city centre or George Town, Penang will set you back RM 50 - 80 per person for a nice meal in a proper restaurant, without alcohol. Unfortunately, most of the cost comes from alcohol. Even a shitty house pour wine will set you back at ~RM30 / €6.00. A nice bottle will set you back ~RM200 / €40.00.\nIn Kuala Lumpur or Penang, just do one way trips using Grab. You can even do Grab Food to your hotel, to save you time. If you are staying in city centre, would just suggest not to travel via cars during peak hours, just use metro.\nLangkawi is the reverse. Food expensive (same as Kuala Lumpur), alcohol is cheap. Langkawi is a tax-free island.\nIf your stomach can handle it and you have a local to show you around, street food can be cheap and good. Best street food can be found in Penang.", "You can take a 2 hour ferry ride to koh lipe from langkawi. Hop on a flight to langkawi from kl in the morning, get to koh lipe by the afternoon.

In terms os mosquitos and bugs, we’ve been to places like Thailand and Indonesia and we’ve managed to be okay, it’s not been that big of a problem. Is it worse in Malaysia compared to these countries? I mean they’re your neighbours, how bad can it be?\nIn terms of what we like, my little siblings like to chill by the pool or beach all day. We like it too, but not the whole trip, so we basically force them to come with us and do sightseeing, hiking etc. We really love South-East Asia’s natural beauty and hikes are a must for us, but i think we can find places to hike pretty much everywhere. In terms of food, i think we’ll give everything at least a try. I suspect estonian and malaysian cousines to be as different as night and day, but again, we’re used to it.

There are guided tours up the Petronas twin towers as well, which can be good fun for a family. Alternatively, you can explore eating in the one of the restaurants up the towers- only Marini’s on 57 is open at the moment, I think (open only for dinner) which is a high-end steakhouse but with a beautiful view of the city.\nPavilion KL is another shopping mall - KL is rife with them, but it’s a nice one.\nI would check out the National Craft Complex, which isn’t far from KLCC. There are huts featuring different local crafts that you and your family could participate in, eg Batik painting, pottery.\nNear Merdeka Square, there are some good parks- The KL Bird Park and Butterfly Park are both worth a visit. The Islamic Arts Museum is there too, which in my opinion, is better worth a visit than the National Museum. Merdeka Square itself is very pretty, historic, and a good picture location. If you dedicate a day in this are you could probably hit up several in the same locale.\nOther fun places to visit for shopping and the experience are Central Market, Brickfields (aka Little India), Petaling Street, Masjid India. Just be aware that if shopping, a lot of these places expect haggling as a matter of course- no need to go overboard, but unless it’s explicitly stated on a sign somewhere “no haggling, fixed price”, no harm in asking for a better price/bulk discount.\nHopr you and your family have fun!

Nasi Kandar is served usually at a type of restaurant we call 'mamak' shops. Usually its 24hrs, staffed with predominantly Indian staff (Mamak is our term for Indian Muslims).\nAt restaurants esp local ones, don't call waiters/waitress 'Excuse Me'.

They are literally forgotten because I shit you not, the average Singaporean literally thinks the poor stay poor because of laziness, not the actual reality: there are no opportunities for the poor.\nSingapore also does not have unionship there, in fact about worse levels than Malaysia because Malaysia does have some form of unions (but still needs to be improved) so very easy to get toxic workplace in the guise of competitiveness. So far very little is done to solve the problems but toxicity is instead encouraged. Suicide is actually the leading cause of death in Singapore of age group 10 to 29 years old.\nThis is all goes back to how Singapore government does not allow criticism of them (authoritarian) so it shows when there oil scandals that took decades of corruption to finally uncover.\n________\nFor example Keppel oil company in a bribery case with Brazil's Petrobas, only revealed because of the US investigations.\nYou probably heard something that's it's 400million USD fine.\nBut what they don't tell you is that Keppel successfully received a 2.1 billion USD contract with the same Petrobas company. Wow their bribery to Petrobas totally profited them in the end.\nKeppel is actually run by Singapore's Prime Minister family, the Lee family.\n_______\nAnother oil scandal: The Hin Leong Scandal.\nSome documents were forged to siphon funds, which some 800 million could be found in Oon Kuin Lim's (owner) house.\nAnd it's clear, this has been going for decades.\nWere it not for the collapse of the recent oil prices, this case would have never been exposed because other countries are involved.\n________\nOr this other oil scandal:\nJuandi Pungot has been stealing gas from his former employer (Shell) since 2007.\nBut he has not been hiding it at all...\nHe frivolously spends on gambling in casino ships, investing in a Japanese restaurant (\"3 Amigos\" yes it's a weird name), designer watches, Mercedes Benz and some condominiums.\nAnd yet nobody caught him earlier when his usual salary is 6000 Singapore dollars.\nSo Juandi and his cohorts sold to are usually Greek and Vietnamese vessel ships. Since Juandi knew how Shell's internal systems work they could avoid some of the detection. While the rest they cover up with bribing the surveyors within Singapore's Shell.\nBut since the oil was missing in large quantities, Shell began figuring out something was suspicious starting in 2015...\nShell actually tried using experts from other offices with several investigations, but nothing came up (because of the surveyors) for a few years until they decided to use a global multidisciplinary team of Shell analysts to monitor tank movements. And so the unauthorized transfers were finally revealed.\nIt was in 1 August 2017 that Shell made a police report.\nJuandi heard about the investigation and resigned in December 2017 but he was still collecting the oil and selling it which lead to his arrest on 7 January 2018, as he was caught red-handed.\n______\nMannn I could keep talking about the weird Singapore businesses in 3rd world countries employing both child and slave labor for fracking, which in turn flooded their lands with salt water...making them unable to farm on those lands.\nAlso you might want to try checking about the different Singapore maps throughout the decades because they have been stealing sand (terrible environment stuff) to add onto Singapore.", "Singapore is definitely not scandal free but the crux of this post is whether Singapore is better than Malaysia.\nWe have a strong social service that only acts as a temporary solution to help the poor get back on their feet, and not to be relied on for free handouts. Even the underprivileged get heavily subsidised rental housing. Not saying the system is perfect but it's not as bad as you portray it to be. No opportunities? Underprivileged kids do get basically free education and additional tuition from volunteers, and education in Singapore is one of the great equalisers. Do well in school and you have a very high chance of succeeding and it's great for social mobility.", "WRONG,\n1st off let's ask, what is the standard of poverty in Singapore?\nThe Singapore government does NOT HAVE ANY STANDARD. Because of that loophole, it is harder to assess the poverty level. (Don't you just love the various ways of how an authoritarian government can cover their tracks?)\nNext, even with subsidized housing, you still need to pay it along with electricity/water, groceries, medical bills. (The water bill have the highest hikes of 18% extra in just 2024 and 2025 if anyone doesn't know)\nBut if someone loses their job because hiring a foreign worker is essentially cheaper (including a lot more easier mistreating foreign workers like slaves and making several foreign workers live in tiny rooms like heated sardine cans)\nhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/23/singapore-million-migrant-workers-suffer-as-covid-19-surges-back\nBut let's say they still have a job. How can they afford just the basics in life?\nIn fact, the struggling poor for their children are unable to escape child labor as the parents are force to use their own children to survive like working in hawker centres.\nSo the child will obviously have FAR LESS TIME studying out of poverty. How can you say that education is the \"great equalizer\" when they're still busy trying to survive?\nI haven't even included access to the internet, they can't afford laptops, smartphones or computers, how can you say that isn't a great disadvantage?\nLet's not forget not being able to access the internet alienates the poor children from the rest of the \"comfy lives\" children.\n(I haven't even addressed the concerns during the pandemic when remote learning was forced to be used, obviously that needs tech and the internet. Of course the poor were left behind)\nBack to medical bills, the disabled are extremely excluded from the healthcare system so anyone with a disability are essentially...unable to succeed in life...to put it kindly (but I'm actually raging about this). Forever to be poor, to say the least.\nI didn't include transportation fees, school supplies + textbooks, and yes lack of of food. (I already said NGOs in Singapore are already so stretched thin that they cannot reach every poor family).\nYou are unable to put yourself in the shoes of the poor as you had a comfy enough life that you cannot see how blessed you are versus how extremely stripped of life's necessities the poor are currently in.\nI suggest using 1 leaf cabbage soup and eating moldy bread as the only food per day for 2 weeks and see what happens. It's not just the diarrhea, it's the extreme hunger where you are more likely to do anything to fill your stomach and the 1st thing that is sacrificed are often education.", "Lmao, I studied in one of the poorer neighbourhoods in Singapore. I can assure you this much, Singapore actually has initiative to help its poor students. The poorer students actually used have to better meals then me during lunch time due to a scheme called FAS.They get pretty decent monthly allowance for food and transport. They also get groceries to their house during holiday month. Talking about transport, it’s dirt for students here and the poorer students also get allowance. Without conversion a Malaysian student spent more on transport due to school van than a Singaporean does. Textbooks are all given for free to the poorer students or at least subsidised pricing for its people. And the textbook are given are new, far better than the torn ass shit I used to get in Malaysia.\nSingapore has many problem but not like Malaysia doesn’t it have too. Last time i check 4 in 10 Malaysian Indian from underprivileged city dropped out of school. We don’t even have anyways to get this students back to track at the very least sg give second chance with ITE.

Also at best you would only know of a few to dozens of people. In your lifetime.\nLet's ask the question. How many people did you think the FAS scheme covers?\nThe answer is less than 48,000 people per year and only around 300 are full subsidies. I consider this to be a travesty seeing as 26.6% live below average income (severe poverty standards as I said, are not standardized in Singapore) so that means about 1.56 million.\nIt's the pretense that Singapore is so squeaky clean that I have a severe distaste for. Especially seeing as the Singapore government made absolutely sure to suppress critics as reported in the Human Rights Watch reports.\nAt least for Malaysians, we don't pretend that corruption doesn't exist in the country.", "Any source for the 26.6%??", "https://beyondresearch.sg/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Youth-United-Impact-Study-Beyond-Social-Services.pdf\nAnd this figure is before the pandemic", "WRONG.\nJesus there’s misinformation and there’s cherry picking and you sir are doing both.\nSingapore has a per capita income benchmark below which short to medium term assistance is provided. This is better than our B40/M40/T20 classification for the purpose of directing aid to where it is needed.\nTheir former DPM gave a good response when a Western interviewer said why isn’t Singapore doing more to help the needy via safety nets. His response was that they don’t want a safety net, but a safety trampoline - so that people can bounce back up. ALL the aid given out comes with requirements such as attending job interviews, going for courses, etc. All of which is paid for and provided by either an NGO or a government funded social enterprise.\nALSO there is a government mandated minimum living space for foreign workers. In Singapore it is 4.5 sq metres. Yes, it’s small. Guess what is Malaysia’s mandated requirement? 3 sq metres.", "This coming from the guy who refused to read the \"illegal mining\" words in various articles I posted, in an earlier post of yours...now accuses me of cherry picking. What a hypocrite you are.\nI see not a single evidence to prove otherwise like minimum living space. Does it matter when regulatory bodies won't ever check?

You crashed onto the ground, broken.

Everything’s so efficient and well thought out. You don’t waste unnecessary time on redundant processes/forms/steps/dresscode which is the norm in Malaysia. The quality of service is sooooo good. Even the Polyclinics here are doing better than some of the private hospitals in Malaysia.\nCleanliness - SG wins hands down. Despite the large crowds everywhere, public parks, toilets and roads are always in pristine condition and well maintained. People are civic minded and they care for their country.

Naturally there’s more opportunities and you’ll make more money in Singapore.\nAll about winning - Not saying we don’t see this pool of people in Malaysia (maybe more so in Klang Valley), Singaporeans are built with a ‘cannot lose’ mentality; restaurants are booked in advanced, the best schools are oversubscribed, they don’t wait to do their taxes, kids are enrolled in 20 types of enrichment classes, everyone has multiple insurance policies - in short, you snooze you lose. Again, naturally, you are less likely to fk up in life and would be better poised for success if you grow up here.

Of course in Malaysia, most Malaysians get to live in landed property, and drive up the driveway, press the autogate remote control and park right next to the front door so that you literally walk 3 steps into the house, sheltered from the rain.\nBut if you earn and spend in SGD, I think the daily necessities are indeed more affordable than if you earn and spend MYR.\nFor instance, 1 litre of Dove body wash can be bought for just under SGD5 in Singapore (I buy mine from this chain called Venus which sells toiletries), versus MYR19 which I just checked on Shopee Malaysia. How much would a Malaysian need to earn to keep spending MYR19 for a simple bottle of body wash?!\nJust the other day, I had dinner with my mum at Dome in JB. Just two of us and the cost came up to almost RM140. We are not talking about fine dining, mind you. This was just a regular meal (some salmon with rice, pastry with soup, etc.) at a Dome outlet at a JB hospital after our medical appointment, not even a special occasion. How much would a Malaysian have to earn to keep spending MYR140 for a simple meal for two?! In Singapore, an equivalent meal at Dome would not cost more than SGD60. If I earn SGD, spending SGD60 for a two-pax dinner is not cheap, but still quite affordable.\nThe cost of living in Malaysia is really quite shocking for the average Malaysian. Part of the reason for this is the continuously depreciating MYR, making everything imported, and even those locally made, more expensive. Some statistics:\nJust looking at the USD/MYR trend:\nOn 2 Sep 1997: USD1 = MYR2.9415\nOn 1 Sep 2023: USD1 = MYR4.641\nA depreciation of 58% in 26 years.\nSource: Bank Negara Malaysia data\nThe slide is even worse compared to our neighbours. The MYR has depreciated 67% against the SGD, and 62% against the THB over the same 26-year period.\nIt would be interesting to compare the inflation rate (CPI) between Malaysia and Singapore excluding housing and cars.

You could move to Sungai Buloh, Kajang and still commute to most places in the city and rental can get pretty low. In Sg moving to the outskirts like Jurong or Punggol nowadays is still very costly. Commute time to the center of the two cities are roughly the same. Every day items - replace the dove bodywash with a watson/guardian in-house brand and it's pretty cheap. And this logic applies to drinks, food etc i.e replace starbucks with Zus coffee, a decent road side warong near my place in kl can cost my family of 4 around 40rm for dinner versus singapore I think 25-28 sgd would be the lowest I can imagine but you'd have to go out of your way for that kind of pricing.\nPost covid- one thing that has struck me is certain items/services aren't cheaper in Sg anymore in terms of currency 1:1. My BIL's 24 hour HDB public parking has gone up to 25sgd from 16sgd (this was 2018). My point is for 25rm you can park all day at many places in KL. Took a number of grab rides from Celmenti to parts of Sg mainly Tanjong Pagar area for work and it'll cost 20-28 sgd for a 10-15min ride, an equivalent ride in KL regardless of peak hours will still be range of 13-25rm." ], [ "I think this is the clear divide of capitalism vs socialism, not saying Malaysia is not capitalist economy, but hear me out.\nWhen East Berlin was merged back into the West, 57% were nostalgic for their lifestyle back when they were under soviet rule.

They specifically missed social security, schooling system, career opportunities, life in general was slower paced and they could relax and not have to run the rat race.\nOf course, transitioning to a market system was great, a lot more material wealth, business, personal freedoms etc. but with capitalism there is pressure to perform and if you fail, you are relegated to B40 or poverty. I think there is tremendous stress in that area when living in Singapore.\nLiving in Malaysia things are generally slower, we have natural resources to help with our national wealth, the government has pretty much turned the govt sector into a welfare system, it gives time for us to relax and enjoy culture, life’s smaller things.

This doesn't seem to happen as much in Thailand or Vietnam 🤔 still, better than a beach with a view of an oil refinery in Singapore 😅 and some of the beaches in Malaysia (not the ones close to an airport) are absolutely fantastic.\nFor convenience: Singapore is better for walking/admin/legal system/business. Malaysia is better for getting a cheap grab, and going off into nature.\nAt the end of the day, I think Singapore is better if you want to make something of yourself, and Malaysia is better if you're already 1st world rich. I think a lot of the nature/nightlife/culture issues with both countries can be solved by travelling abroad for short trips, and its easier to do that of you're working in Singapore. But I still plan to learn Bahasa 😊 And who knows what Malaysia will look like in 10 years!", "Very nice comment, I tend to agree with most of what you said.\nI'm someone from Indonesia, have lived and worked in Singapore for several years and one of your remark is true; if you are someone who have generational wealth, living in places like Malaysia and Indonesia is a breeze. This is a very important point that many people tend to miss out, especially when they've never really lived in Singapore for quite sometime and see how life is from the inside.\nLife for the less fortunate on the other hand, is quite difficult in those places because of lack of good public education (without breaking the bank), poor infrastructure (requiring one to afford cars or motorbikes to commute), relatively low wages for the same type of work, corrupt law enforcers, corrupt justice system, corrupt government who don't manage facilities properly, etc among many other reasons. Singaporeans often do not realize how lucky they're having it this way because of lack of perspective how bad things are outside SG when everything is concerned.\nAlso, climbing up the corporate ladder is almost impossible without the right connection because meritocracy in Indonesia/Malaysia is still rather foreign concept. Most of the institutions both public and private tend to resort to mix of cronyism and nepotism while picking candidates and deciding who gets promotion.\nIn Singapore, while some of these issues do exist, you can technically still work your way up by pure hard work and ingenuity. In Singapore, people see you as an individual whose worth is recognized by the quality of your craft and not by skin color or religion. The contrast is quite significant in neighboring Malaysia/Indonesia. Say, if you're not of indigenous ethnic or Muslim, there are some positions within the society that you simply cannot access, or have difficulty getting into because of your religion or skin color.\nTrue, Singapore is small and there's really not much to see beyond the small island. But this could easily be rectified by having overseas holiday to many of SG's neighbors, so you can enjoy the views and the beautiful nature without having to deal with all the things that made SG's neighbors a hell to live with. Strong currency of SG also definitely helps in opening up holiday options into other less developed nations.

Along with toxic managers...\nAnd if you check the timing of the Dyson hair dryer, the 1st version used various Fashion Youtubers input but for the 2nd version (when James Dyson moved), the hair dryer did not use any Youtuber input nor any collaboration video which the 2nd version barely has any changes compared to 1st version. So this man has been mistreating Malaysian employees while making sure he wouldn't be taxed that much by our government since he lives in Singapore (The HQ of Dyson is also in Singapore).\nSingapore might look nice on the 1st glance but scratch that surface and you will find various strange things. For example, Singapore has a healthcare system but no system to take care of the disabled and poor.\nThe marginalized are often forgotten and villainized as \"lazy people\" or \"evil people\" when they are forced to turn to crime.\nA Singaporean would definately say the competitivenes in Singapore is high but they don't explain about the toxicity in Singapore workplace and studies that make suicide the no 1 death cause in Singapore (from age 10 to 29).\nSingapore is projected as a \"squeaky clean image\" but there are so, so many oil scandals, like the Keppel oil company owned by the Prime Minister's Lee family caught in a bribe with Petrobas from Brazil thanks to US investigations. The fine was 400 million USD but Keppel already had a contract with Petrobas worth 2.1 billion USD.\nThe Hin Leong Scandal has decades of fraud, or the Shell oil corruption as Shell's Singapore branch officials were caught stealing oil for years and sold off to others. If they have consistent surprise checks from regulatory bodies, none of that thievery or bribery would happen in all those cases.\nI could also talk about how Singapore exploits Vietnam, Cambodia using child and adult slave labor in fracking operations to steal sand. And they flood Vietnam lands with sea water which were farm lands. You should know from your science class that it's impossible to farm under seawater. So if you check Singapore maps throughout the decades, you would find stark differences with today's Singapore's map. Because they use the stolen sand to add onto their own lands.\nSingapore is instead a sham filled with broken dreams of its earliest predecessors where they had more socialist systems to help the poor gain skills, housed them and tried so hard to feed its people. But they were force to change in exchange for cooperation with the US, a nation of both capitalist and imperialist nightmares...\nAll because Malaysia kicked them out, in order to defend Malay Supremacy.\nSure, it's a shiny concrete jungle but that's it." ], [ "The best I can say is.

Way lower income taxes compared to Malaysia 2. They have a philosophy of rewarding you if you act the way they want you to(and the govt isn't shy in telling you what to do). Social programs are robust and emphasise on self help.

Govt doesn't rob you of your money and punish you for working hard as bad as Malaysia does with surprise taxes and stupid policies to take your money and give it to someone in their favour 4. Very very efficient since everyone is kiasu, loves to complain - for the same money here you get better quality there, especially for mid-high end goods and services (before myr crashed under menteri magik formula n Deddy bifoty).\nSg cons 1. Lesser freedom of expression, many rules (a top technopreneur I met told me they can fine you if your car is unwashed, dirty and unkempt) 2. Expensive cars BUT once you have a car you're a king - it's still way cheaper than NY/HK/London CBD to be driving around with ERP and parking fees 3. Local Chinese and Malay food sucks. Filled with coloring and cheap ingredients. Chicken rice is painted with colour n apam balik is as hard as a frisbee. China food is pretty good, western, Indian, fusion can kick most Malaysian outlets to shame. 4. Citizens damn KPC n busybody. Like if a train comes late it gets on the news. Someone charges you sgd10 for mix rice also end up in the news and the guy has to apologise. Over here only the rm2000 siakap man from lgk makes it to the papers 5.

This point alone is what allowed us to get away with all the idiotic decisions, wastage, stupid white elephant projects and generous heaping of corruption 4.

Malaysia's only free compared to places like Iran and Saudi Arabia.\nIt's only cheaper if you don't use ringgit.\nMalaysia runs out of oil around 2035.\nThe local food is unhealthy and only \"better\" if you think sugar in everything makes everything better.\nA rich country wouldn't need this... and most Malaysians are broke.\nThe average life expectancy in Malaysia is 10 years shorter than Singapore's. Even foreigners in Malaysia statistically outlive Malaysians.\nI can't comment on the schooling, I was educated elsewhere\nDefinitely more than SG.", "You can rainbow all you like discretely, nobody here will bat an eyelid - it's only when they make it too obvious that they're forced to make a political statement. There's plenty of the alphabet crew here and the ones that are smart keep it in their bedrooms. Freedom of speech is something else, as it's a relic of colonialism and UK is probably worse when it comes to cancelling this and that and getting charged for \"hate speech\". Another relic of colonialism is making the govt be the cure to all your problems instead of taking things into your own hands like the original American constitution (small govt, low taxes) or even how HK was originally.\nTaste, that's all. sg food at the low end (sgd 2-6, hawker centre hdb) is also unhealthy with the colouring and stuff but the difference is it also tastes horrible. At least MY food doesn't torture you while it kills\nMalaysians are broke because they're pampered for 60 years of heavy subsidies in almost every part of life and don't forget all our utilities were govt owned and many still subsidised. Of course they never dealt with much hardship like earthquakes, hurricanes or even winter snow. Sure we have the annual floods but not as horrific as what happens in other countries. We have fertile soil, heavy agricultural subsidies and the list goes on. Now with economic mismanagement we're starting to feel the pinch but trust me the hardship is worse if you throw the average Malaysian in sg/HK/th/id.\nIt's highly dependent on own will - sg citizens are forced to prevent NCDs or even CDs because they know one hospital visit can screw up their savings, prevention is better than the cure but our healthcare is still way better even compared to NHS after factoring waiting time. The fact remains that our healthcare is top notch, notwithstanding the choices the citizens make.\nHowever to your point earlier about no freedom - we do get idiotic laws like GEG and anti party hopping, which is against freedom.

Salary and payment yes, but lifestyle and retirement is a big no." ], [ "Definitely.\nFirstly, regarding food, S'poreans generally concede the topic more nowadays but the context is also important. M'sia's hawkers are still dominated by family-recipe businesses (thus each has their own unique taste) whereas S'pore's foodstuff are all but factory-made since the 1970s. S'prean tastebuds have also watered down due to constant health campaigns, so lard, sugar, salt, oil/grease, even excessive coconut are instinctively disliked. Most of all, the exchange rate is the biggest draw: something simple like Malay nasi lemak, which costs only RM 5-7 in M'sia, is priced at least S$4.50 (RM 16) in S'pore.\nPersonally, I dare say S'poreans are used to only Johorean & Penang cuisine as well. (Yup, not even Peranakan cusine.) That said, having travelled around M'sia for decades myself (I have relatives who fatefully chose backward places like Terengganu to settle down in the past), IMO the native food at these rural/coastal spots is seriously quite unappetizing even to urban M'sians. Basically what's the catch of the day, fried to a crisp, then soused with food/flower dye or condiments to improve the taste.\nBut back to topic. Modernization-wise, IMO M'sia 2020s is at best what SG was like pre-1997 Asian crisis. The latter was a watershed for M'sia (political infighting & waywardness reaching new heights ever since) in thwarting the country's potential to this day. More narrowly, the leadership listlessness since 2018 mirrors the post-1997 lost years (M'sia didn't recover until 2004 or so) when Mahathir was more preoccupied with proving the IMF, Reformasi &, in time, Badawi wrong.\nFor SG (& most M'sians don't know this), there was a considerable prosperity leap in the early 2010s when its post-2008 economy recovered quickest, & the younger PM Lee (after waiting 14 years to take charge) was perhaps too eager to open up the country to foreign talent. The result was a great societal upheaval, a perfect storm of election defeats, rampant fake news (which ironically killed off all the alternative news media), enduring racism/xenophobia, & actual riots (in Little India). Basically, SG experienced Trump-style politics half a decade before Trump became mainstream. But it would ultimately paid off with today's high affluence (I call it the Generation by the Bay generation) that would leave M'sia in the dust even if the Sheraton Move hadn't happened.\nRather than comparing directly with each other, the following is a better insight about the pace of modernization each side had undergone over time. I've highlighted only the rankings (those marking the start/end of each PM's stewardship, along with the 3 worldwide economic disruptions) at selected years to indicate whether SG/M'sia stood against other countries on a global scale.\nThe highlighted years are 1981 (when Mahathir became PM), 1990 (when Goh Chok Tong became PM), 1997 (Asian Financial Crisis), 2003 (when Badawi became PM), 2004 (when Lee Hsien Loong became PM), 2008 (Global Financial Crisis), 2009 (when Najib became PM), 2018 (when Mahathir became PM again), 2020 (Global Covid Pandemic).\nLike them or not, the indexes are utilized by government policymakers & international institutions.\nGDP (nominal) per capita - average value an individual is contributing to the economy:\n1981 - 59th (M'sia), 32nd (SG)\n1990 - 60th (M'sia), 28th (SG)\n1997 - 55th (M'sia), 15th (SG)\n2003 - 67th (M'sia), 24th (SG)\n2004 - 68th (M'sia), 24th (SG)\n2008 - 70th (M'sia), 23rd (SG)\n2009 - 73rd (M'sia), 22nd (SG)\n2018 - 70th (M'sia), 7th (SG)\n2020 - 65th (M'sia), 6th (SG)\n2023 to 2018 IMF Projections - 71st (M'sia), 5th (SG)\nGDP (PPP) per capita - adjusted for cost of living:\n1981 - 61st (M'sia), 23rd (SG)\n1990 - 59th (M'sia), 11th (SG)\n1997 - 48th (M'sia), 8th (SG)\n2003 - 54th (M'sia), 7th (SG)\n2004 - 54th (M'sia), 8th (SG)\n2008 - 57th (M'sia), 8th (SG)\n2009 - 57th (M'sia), 6th (SG)\n2018 - 58th (M'sia), 3rd (SG)\n2020 - 58th (M'sia), 2nd (SG)\n2023 to 2018 IMF Projections - 59th-57th (M'sia), 3rd-4th (SG)\nHuman Developmental Index - general well-being of populace, i.e. life expectancy, access to education, standard of living:\n1990 launch of index - 70th (M'sia), 38th (SG)\n1997 - 54th (M'sia), 24th (SG)\n2003 - 60th (M'sia), 25th (SG)\n2004 - 64th (M'sia), 26th (SG)\n2008 - 73rd (M'sia), 21st (SG)\n2009 - 68th (M'sia), 21st (SG)\n2018 - 65th (M'sia), 9th (SG)\n2020 - 61st (M'sia), 10th (SG)\n2021 latest index - 62nd (M'sia), 12th (SG)\nGlobal Innovation Index - innovation to drive productivity & promote economic growth:\n2007 launch of index - 26th (M'sia), 7th (SG)\n2008 - 25th (M'sia), 5th (SG)\n2009 - 28th (M'sia), 7th (SG)\n2018 - 35th (M'sia), 5th (SG)\n2020 - 33rd (M'sia), 8th (SG)\n2023 - 36th (M'sia), 5th (SG)" ], [ "Yes, Chinese majority rule is definitely better", "Boring tho like robots" ], [ "Malaysia is like a great big party taking place on the floor above a boring, sterile office that is Singapore." ], [ "Have you learnt how LKY treat his political opponent?", "Not sure of the relevance of how a certain politician's behavior changed the image of the country as a whole but do enlighten me." ], [ "Is this bait?

[ [ "Hi! Good question!\nI have some experience with the Tabligh folks. I've gone out with them when I was a student, but never went more than three days.\nHere's a recap: 1. I see it as a \"summer\" camp. Back then, smartphones weren't a big deal and had limited capabilities. So, I was able to focus fully on worship. You wake up before Fajr, then you listen to Halaqah sessions, you eat breakfast together, and then you get free time to chill/nap and basically doing those until bed time.\n\"Worship and chill\", and if you're busy with work, this is a really good way to decompress. I enjoyed it, though I knew I would get tired if I went for too long - three days was good. In essence, nothing weird going on there, completely legit, to answer your question.\nMy issue with them is on their main material - the book is called Fadhail A'mal. It's got good stuff but some of the narrations were less than authentic and some were flat out false narrations. This is one of the things that was a bit tough to swallow, but some members maintained that the leader needed to be wary of it and we should still be good. I don't know why they wouldn't just use another book like Riyadh al-Saliheen. To expand my answer, it is still legit, but they need to work on their material and be more careful.\nAbout leaving family at home without provisions, this is seemingly a regional issue. I went to Tabligh in Malaysia and in the US, and they were different by a lot. In Malaysia, we walked from house to house. In the US, we traveled in Lexuses, Beemers and Cadillacs. Those folks were WELL OFF. One of them, I remember was a surgeon (a cardiologist, if memory serves) - I went to his house party once (a legit mansion, btw) - the American Dream in all its glory. My point is, when he took months off work for Tabligh, his family was good to go, his kids were grownups too. They're all set.\nThe Malaysian counterparts need to work on their reasoning when it comes to religion. I think going out 3 days like I did would suffice if they're not that well to do, and family depends on them more tightly. There's no one rule that fits all, though, some may have more support system even if they're not rich. You gotta apply some reasoning with the religion.\n\"Don't you use reason?\" repeats Allah in the Quran.", "Thank you so so much for this, I am rather shallow in this aspect and I got to admit that I am rediscovering Islam at this point (trying to understand it instead of blindly following) which is why I really appreciate your extensive explanation.\nI love how you included your experience abroad too!! I must say that although I am considered lucky to be born into a Muslim family in Malaysia, I do notice that practicing Islam here can be performative, forced even, especially since it's greatly intertwined (or maybe mistaken) as culture. I am currently based in NZ and I do see and feel the difference of how Islam is practiced here and ofc there is a lot the Malaysian Muslim community can learn from.\nMuch love!", "Pleasure! Yes that was in Chicago - we had a massive Muslim community there, a masjid at every corner, even KFC restaurants displayed Halal sign there - Islamophobes's worst nightmare.\nPerformative is actually good for little kids while they are developing. But our understanding of the religion must grow and mature as we do the same. Nuances must be understood, and there's no better way to understand differences than traveling far and out. It's good you're out there, you must mingle with Muslims there.\nI only lived with Malaysians during my 1st year. I moved out and lived with other Muslims after that till graduation. My best friends were Pakistanis, Americans, Saudis, British, Chinese, Indians, Sri Lankans, Moroccans, Libyans, Nigeriens, Nigerians, and they were all awesome with all the differences. It's shaped our minds when we expose ourselves that way. I miss them dearly.", "There's no one rule that fits all, though\nI'm pretty sure there's a universal minimum requirement somewhere like not being a total ass and leave your family to provide for themselves. I really hate \"pious\" people who use religion as escape goat for their bad behaviour. And sheepel who blind defend them. People can't criticise the followers or local practice without being accused of insulting islam.", "some may have more support system even if they're not rich.\nLiterally the next clause.", "Really good answer." ], [ "Dr Zulkifli (previous WP mufti) wrote about it once. To join tabligh and do dakwah itself is not wrong but Islam actually preaches that you do everything in moderation. Doing something like leaving your family to fend for themselves for a long period of time without providing necessary support and saying you are doing it in the name of Islam is a big no no.\nDoesn't even just mean financial support. Imagine if the wife has small kids/newborn and has to deal with it all on her own with no helper etc? That's just selfish and a huge mental burden on the family.\nOn the other hand, if you have ensured that all the needs of your family are cared for when you are gone, then there are no issues. Personally I know of a number of Muslim men who join these tabligh and do it the proper way." ], [ "Don't blame the doctrine now for the wrongdoing done by the people. The scholars already give the guidelines for tabligh member to follow including to provide enough for the family before leaving them. It's totally up to them to do right or wrong" ], [ "Pokok pangkalnya ialah wanting to be pious (which is good) but acting upon beliefs without proper knowledge (which is bad).\nIn the cases you’ve mentioned, obv the man is majorly sinful for not doing the wajib first. Kalau bawa masuk mahkamah syariah mmg gg.\nThe solution? Better PAI education in national schools would be a good first step imo." ], [ "My roommate during uni years was part of a tabligh group and I found dozens of gay porn on his laptop 🤣🤣🤣. I'm not even joking. I used his laptop a lot before I bought one my own and dude literally kept all his gay porn in the Downloads folder. I never told him this and he probably believes no one he knows knows he watches gay porn. Oh btw, he's married now." ], [ "There are some legit ones that has a daily job, like 2 of my office mates (one married, one single). A bit extreme that they would take 30-40 days leave from work, but they had to go for training again when returning for the job.\nI've encountered the bad ones, just the way you describe it, tinggalkan anak isteri dekat rumah without a real job to support it. How they survive without money? Mengharapkan belas kasihan daripada sesiapa yang mereka lawat untuk \"berdakwah\"" ], [ "tabligh is the opposite of conservative extremism who seek control over others in the name of God; they leave and let live and trust that God provides" ], [ "I think you should post this in your fb profile. Most people here don't understand what tabligh is.", "I rather not hahaha facebook people can be condescending and harmful for my learning process of Islam" ], [ "Some Tabligh are illegal for preaching what are considered 'deviant' teachings in Malaysia. Especially those from the Indian Subcontinent which are either strongly influenced by Sufism or are strongly culturally Conservative (sexist) . However it's hard to enforce something that is spread and done from word by mouth with no paperwork.\nBecause of the strong Sufi or cultural Conservativeness, what they are doing and what they preach may not have any hadith or quran backing, but a case of \"this people did i like this for years, so they must be correct\".\nOne way I heard to tell if they are legit is if they act superior and always act as if they are righteous, they are sus. If they act humble and willing to accept they could be wrong, probably legit missionary.\nAgain just like Christian missionaries, the way they act and try to convert people differs wildly.\nwww.freemalaysiatoday.com/amp/category/nation/2020/03/18/understanding-the-tabligh-movement-beyond-covid-19/" ], [ "They are the type of people that i will completely ignore and hope they can use that \"free\" time doing something more productive, find more money for their family." ], [ "", "As per Rule 1, well-reasoned debate and criticism of religion is very welcome but one-liner talking points, jabs, borderline flaming etc. does not have such protection, and is bad for the community. Please treat this as a warning - if this continues we will be forced to take steps.", "Seriously.. Who hurt you???" ], [ "Tabligh is one of the nature of Nabi Muhammad SAW;\nhttps://dosen.perbanas.id/sidiq-amanah-tabligh-fathonah/?print=print\nAs Muslim, we are encouraged to follow our beloved Rasulullah's (sunnah) but it is not compulsory for all. Like other posters said, must provide family etc..\nIn short , Tabligh is legit.\nWith Tabligh, we Muslims can reach out others (Muslim and non-Muslim alike) and explain about Islam BUT Hidayah (Guidance) belongs solely to Allah SWT because we only human. All belongs to Allah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem." ], [ "Went to a house of a tabligh family. Their daughter is my friend's friend.\nThey have ... Almost a shrine ... Of tabligh faces in their house. A4 size pictures of faces. Like 11 of them. Creeps me out a little. Maybe in their faith, seeing their ustaz's faces gives them pahala? Idk.\nOther than that, they were nice to me.\nPersonally I find their faith sus, but I don't have enough sample size to make a definitive conclusion." ] ]

Hopefully they can fix that in next UI revamp.", "As in which direction the train is moving? Doesn’t the train already do that with the arrows on the line and the display of the final station it’s heading to whether it’s Kwasa Damansara or Putrajaya Sentral (for the Putrajaya line)?", "For example:\nYou are on a KJ train at Bukit Bintang towards Kajang. You face the side of the opened doors which are on the train's right side. Kajang is to your left, but the diagram shows Kajang on your right.\nThis is the part that has bothered me since the line opened. Tokyo and Taipei have their metro lines to show the next stations relative to the train's direction since dot matrix display era, there's no reason our fancy LCD displays can't.", "Oh, you mean as in the metro lines don’t tell us which side of the train we should prepare to exit through when we reach a certain station? That’s interesting.\nI’ve never gone on the Kajang line so it may be different there, but the Putrajaya line’s trains sort of have something like that where the screens will tell you which side of the doors will open whenever we reach a station.\nI know this may sound really dumb but you can maybe try giving that suggestion on the official Malaysia Madani website. Me and my sister sent a suggestion there complaining about the very low feeder bus frequency of an MRT station we frequent and suggesting that it be raised (and we also sent some emails to Prasarana). We had no hope when we sent those suggestions and emails, but magically, the feeder bus frequency of that station got increased one week later.\nDid our suggestions or emails cause any of that? Well, there’s no way to know, but you know, well, it doesn’t hurt to try, eh?", "He’s saying that the left and right diagrams shouldn’t use the same image, they should be flipped to reflect the direction the train is going.", "It sounded like a minor nick pick.

Like bruh, I am at X stop, tell me what station it is and what the next one is. i dont need to be informed that i cant get through this closed door!\nAlso its not a massive nuance but come on. theres clearly better more informative design choices than this.\nLike maybe make 1/3rd of the screen the station name and make the map smaller so that all the information is still there. Alot of real estate could have been used to inform the commuter better.", "Sooo the fact that thy announce what station it is doesn’t take into account? And you can actual look outside and fine a huge ass sign where u are la..\nMaybe just maybe wear one earphones when you near your station ? Come on man.", "This is a bad argument. Admittedly, the top comment feels kinda nitpicky, but if you’re going to counter any argument with “just listen to the announcement and look tf outside at the station sign” then why even have an info display at the first place? Just stick a printed map on top like the old school way and rely on announcements and “look outside”.", "not to mention accessibility issue (deaf people)", "Yes admittedly i weat headphones with ANC but that doesnt mean that they cant have a more informative information board can they? Also I do not want to hear what other people are doing or talking about and yes, even with ANC i can still hear the announcement but that doesn't mean I'll be focusing on it.\nAlso I sit in the first carriage and everytime I look out I can never see the name of the station because its never placed in eye shot of where I usually am at. As well as just looking at the design of the station tells me nothing of where I am at. Also also, if im facing away from the station, theres no sign telling me where I am at. Unlike the LRT where even looking away from the station they put sign board to tell me which station we have arrived and aslo having the signboard be in a position where I can see them no matter where I am at.\nHonestly it feels like they deisgned the MRT station around the digital sign boards and didnt take into account on more simpler but effective designs." ], [ "Both are dull if compared to China one where you can even see the expected ETA", "Ya but everything in China is in romanised pinyin instead of English due to CCP meddling.

McD been quite firm in saying none of their money or royalty go to Israel.", "BDS was clear:\nBDS didn't start the boycott, but they're not gonna go against it either.\nBDS said, the only way they can stand with McDonald's Malaysia (MM) is by MM openly condemn Israel genocidal policies against the Palestinians, which MM has failed to do thus far. Which for me begs the question: operating in a country where majority is openly against Israel, what is holding MM back from releasing such statement?", "From what I read, McD Msia already keluarkan few statements explaining franchise system, not related to Israel, and also donated rm1 mil to Palestine.. which mostly kena ignored lol kesian. Not sure whats stopping them from condemning Israel ourtight. Maybe their PR department got fed up while halfway writing condemnation and lost their temper. I think court case is not the correct path to take tho.. they should just keep quiet and wait it out.\nBut I can see why McD is confident to sue BDS for defamation. The current boikot logic is M Msia pay royalty to its owner M SaudiArabia, who in turn pay to M USA, then M USA give that money to M Israel, and M Israel use that money to donate meals to Israeli Army. Thats very far fetched.. because franchise system just doesnt work that way. Like, when M Malaysia give free meals to nurses and firemen, are we giving M USA the credit for that?\nRegardless, we should boikot McD for harga Yahudi, not for actual Yahudi. Prosperity set meal is almost rm20 and the burger so small now, wtfffff", "they should just keep quiet and wait it out.\nThey should've. Like many pointed out, usually Malaysians would come back after a while and I think MM did wait, but this time, Israel seems to be set on their vendetta and MM is obviously bleeding and couldn't wait no more.\nFrom what I read, McD Msia already keluarkan few statements explaining franchise system, not related to Israel,\nI was one of those who bought that explanation. I understood that it's beyond their control to prevent what M Israel did. Of course. I didn't even boycott them.\nHowever, this lawsuit made me revisit the whole thing again - that was when I saw what BDS asked MM to do. Condemn Israel. What's stopping MM? this is 100% within their control, right? Maybe it's not? I've started boycotting them ever since.\nbecause franchise system just doesnt work that way.\nNot objecting you, but here's how it works for those who want to know:\nMcDonald's franchise model is pretty slick. Here's the scoop: someone who wants to open a McDonald's franchise, like in Malaysia, has to pay an initial fee to McDonald's Corporation (the big guys in the U.S.). This fee gives them the license to run a McDonald's restaurant.\nBut it doesn't stop there. The franchisee (the person running the local McDonald's) also pays regular fees, which usually include a percentage of their sales. This is where McDonald's HQ makes a lot of its dough. So, yeah, McDonald's Malaysia (like Gerbang Alaf Restaurants Sdn Bhd) would be paying these ongoing fees to McDonald's Corporation in the U.S. This way, they get to use the McDonald's brand, its business model, and all the secret recipes!\nEven though Gerbang Alaf Restaurants Sdn Bhd (owned by Saudi Arabia's Reza Group) operates McDonald's Malaysia, they still have to play by the rules of McDonald's Corporation in the USA. This includes paying for licensing and advertising.\nIn the franchise model, the franchisee (like Gerbang Alaf in this case) pays a franchise fee and ongoing royalties, which typically include a percentage of sales, to the franchisor (McDonald's Corporation). These payments cover the rights to use the McDonald's brand, operating system, and ongoing support, including advertising. This is a standard practice in franchising, not just for McDonald's, but for most international franchise brands.", "You do realize no neutral business will voluntarily do something like No. 2 right.

Also every major US MNC likely has business deals with Israel so how is that different?", "Well, there would usually be a wave of people avoiding Mcdonald and other companies (like in 2014) just because they are an American brand (whose national leaders are allies with Israel....)\nThe difference this time(other than the intensity of violence) for McDonalds was the fact that McDonalds in Israel had decided to give free meals to IDF soldiers during thr attack on Gaza.... (I am unaware if the McDonalds of Israel also give free food for the victims of October 7th, but it seems like there are more promoting the fact that they giving food to IDF soldiers)...\nOf course, McDonalds in Israel is operated by a different company than the one in Malaysia....unfortunately there are two things that aren't going for them, the first of which is the fact that McDonald Malaysia operations are foreign-owned, specifically Saudi-owned, where (other than the fact that they like the other Arab countries are getting closer to Israel in order to curb Iran's influence), there were some (albeit later proven to be false IIRC) allegations that the authorities there arresting people just because they are chanting pro-Palestine chants...so there are some people that start to boycott them because they are OWNED BY THE SAUDIS...\nThe second problem was the fact that unlike the other McDonalds in other Muslim countries, where they just explained the situation and then accept the losses due to the boycott and move on like any other year, McDonalds Malaysia IN PARTICULAR as stated in the OP article, oddly decided to take a step (beyond the realms of common sense in regard to doing operation in a majority Muslim countries)by suing the BDS movement here due to the losses, as such this perplexing(and also the fact that the food prices were shot up (even relative to the other F&B brands) recently) move would probably encourage more people to avoid Malaysian McDonalds.\nTLDR, Israel McD decided to be specific in their support to IDF, people decided to boycott Malaysia's Mekdi, (which are technically different but owned by the equally problematic for some, Saudis), which in turn decided to do what no other McD done which to specifically sue the people calling for the boycott.\nIMO I understand if Mekdi Malaysia decided to sue people who decided to vandalize the branches (for example there were some branches being set in fire in Turkey , or pro-Palestine protesters that decided to drop rubishes/ rat into the Starbucks branches IIRC), but suing just because of boycott seems like an idiotic dick move from Mekdi....", "Oic Mcd Israel give free meal to IDF so must boycott Mcd Malaysia.

But a lot of us are not willing to buy from a franchise whose HQ is ok with keeping silent and allowing free meals to fill the bellies of murderers. Maybe you are completely fine with that and it doesn’t bother you at all. But for the rest of us who are uncomfortable let us boycott in peace.

Thats why there are anti boycott laws." ], [ "Please don't hate me because I'm asking a genuine question, McD is an American company, right? And McD USA support Israel and McD Israel is giving free meals to IOF...BUT, McD Malaysia says they did not support Israel and The profit won't go to Israel...which is okay\nMy question is...where did all the profit of McD malaysia go to? Does McD USA not get a single cents from franchises all over the world?\nIf McD Malaysia says they don't give money to Israel, but The profit went to McD USA instead and McD USA supports Israel...won't McD Malaysia indirectly helps the funding?" ] ]

[ [ "I started a company about 12 years ago. Sold it off to partner recently and took a break. Had another one abroad that flopped during Covid. Took a break. Getting back into things again this year.\nDrop me a line if you are keen to connect.\nTo answer your questions:\nWhat was it like? It’s much easier these days. The Silicon Valley mentality have reached our shores, for better and for worse. I wish I had the infrastructure like we do now when I started my firm at 24. Starting and running a company is tough work. Forget your life for a good 3 to 5 years. You’ll probably fuck up most relationships. Money will be scarce unless you have deep papa’s pocket which is the case for many in the scene here. Nothing, I mean nothing will be easy at the beginning.\nVibes: it’s a lonely place. It’s better now, but I’m too old to have the energy to network. A lot of fake people and investors here. For example, I kink personally of 5 cases where founders go in to places like MDEC to pitch and the judge listening to the pitches steals the idea outright. Check out the company Mole. They are having a I Hate Networking soon.\nWild Success: There is a lot of luck (earned luck, luck you must work towards) and then timing. The most important thing no one talks about. Timing. I’ve seen great ideas crash and burn because it was a few years or cycles too early. Covid is a great example: overnight delivery, logistics and cashless services boomed. Luck and timing. I myself went through that. I started my digital media company about a year before 4G and then social media videos were launched (FB and IG). And just like that we were the only fucker in town doing this but we had to hang on for 18 months waiting. We went from monthly revenue of RM2,000 to RM50,000 pretty much overnight when these catalysts happened.\nFuture: You can’t think of Malaysia as a standalone like US. It won’t work. You have to think of scale from SEA perspective. Look at most startups over recent years, you have to scale fast regionally. Zus, Bjak, Zenyum and many more - their strategic is very simple. Start up in SG-MY. Proof of concept. Less than 30M population to play and test and fine tune. In the mean time, burn through investors money from Round A, B and maybe C. Then immediately hop into Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia and Philippines where the population in one market alone is bigger than SG-MY. What you need is time, a decent product that will improve rapidly (1 to 2 years) and a very solid plan to break into 2 or 3 big SEA markets.", "Thank you so much for your comment! really insightful and a bunch of valuable information even when condensed.

Since this is not tiered by category, you can topup RM400 into *selected e-wallet* and just go ham with it while you think about how to deal with the remaining RM2100 minimum spend. You'd still get RM60 CB.\nThis card has a very high minimum spend which is not suitable for the average person. However, this card is a great option to further maximise cashback if your spending is too damm big. ie: T20s with monthly 5k-10k spendings will hold many banks's CC to get the most out of their spendings. If your spending is even higher, points CCs would be even better to collect air miles or whatever.\nIf you're just someone who only spends RM1k a month, you can consider UOB ONE or HLB WISE instead which has RM500 minimum spend, easily achievable even if you're a fresh grad. You can top up to e-wallets, and get 5-8% cashback on your lunch/dinner. However, these cards have a category cap, like RM10-15 only. You'd be getting RM120+++ per year back depending on your spending patterns. If you're able to maximise the categories it's an easy RM40+*12months = RM480+ minimum per year." ] ]
