[ [ "Here we go again... for fuck's sake." ], [ "How we got here once again:\nNo, there's no law to stop MPs. At best, some parties with Anti-Hopping Law AND amended Party Constitutions can sack → MP by-election. At best. But, expect a few seats to flip to PN anyways as BN & PH are not as electorally dominant as they once were. That's the best case. Otherwise, just like the recent 5x Bersatu frogs lah: PH or BN MPs will switch to the PN MP as PM, but remain in their party.\nWhat if bribes happened? Azam Baki essentially made all Sheraton Move actions \"halal\" in 2020 and 2021. Unfortunately, Anwar re-appointed Azam Baki, so don't expect any MPs to be prosecuted even if we get clear evidence of bribes. And Azam Baki has a poor track record of convictions anyways. And gov't change is absolutely possible: you don't lose your MP seat until the final appeal—likely 2026+ at this point.\nBersatu & PKR frogs during Sheraton Move struck when PH had a much lower approval rating. Same now: Anwar has a poor 50% approval rating.\nSome institutional reforms could've slowed this down, but Anwar & Unity Gov't parties genuinely learned nothing from the Sheraton Move: no recall elections (could do it soon: you have a claimed ⅔ majority—cannot blame PN now lol), no Fixed Term Parliamentary Act, no requirement for a vote of confidence (the SDs are coming back!).", "Don't @ me that Azam Baki was \"necessary\" or \"there wasn't any corruption\". Azam is a fuck wit and you know it. Everyone involved in the Dubai Move is already off scot-free of any jail time.\nEven if Azam panics with a few charges soon, MACC has become shit at its job under Azam (& not helped as UG failed to pass any whistleblower protection reforms):\n— Bung acquitted\n— Najib acquitted (Audit Panel)\n— Shafee acquitted\n— Ku Nan acquitted\n— Zahid acquitted (VLN)\n— Shahir acquitted\n— Muhyiddin acquitted (power abuse)", "Damn, bro knows his shit. Thanks for the insight, OP.", "Any idea why Adam Baki was reappointed", "Anwar claimed Azam Baki has been doing a \"satisfactory job\".\nBut, it's more likely Azam Baki's attitude of \"I'll help whichever PM is in power now\", so Anwar signed up immediately with typical new PM insecurity. Unfortunately, Azam is so transparently corrupt and MACC is so rotten to its core → MACC officers believe MACC may need to be abolished and a new institution with a clean track record established.\nI guess Anwar didn't read that article (or listen to any other whistleblowers...).\nOr maybe Zahid got insecure / worried that an independent MACC might prosecute UMNO into oblivion. What a fucking shame: an independent MACC would've humiliated PN, Bersatu, and PAS.\nRemember that according to the PH & BN binding resolution, the DPM gets to help choose key government officials:\n- The appointment of Dewan Negara members, main posts in government-linked companies and other government posts must first be notified and discussed between the PM and DPM.\nThey didn't name MACC Chief, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't included.\nTL;DR: Anwar & Zahid likely wanted a malleable MACC Chief, like one who'd ram through a massively unprepared prosecution just a few months after GE15 of Muhyiddin and it'd be promptly dismissed by the High Court. Anwar acted all high and mighty when the charges filed...diam ever since Azam & Terrirudin (AG) failed.\n11 March 2023: Focus on your court cases, Anwar advises Muhyiddin\n...led by an incompetent solicitor general (who Anwar appoints as AG soon later!) and an incompetent MACC Chief...\n15 August 2023: Former Malaysian PM Muhyiddin Yassin acquitted on abuse of power charges\nThe moral of the story: don't ever hire incompetent people for critical jobs just because they claim they'll help you. Their incompetence will fuck you over and you'll be caught with your pants down when it matters most.\nSad story is that we all got fucked with Azam sticking around (contract expiring in May-ish this year).", "First rate people hire first rate people, second rate people….", "...

Traditional publishing or self publishing? Assuming you already have a finished manuscript.\nTrad publishing is a bit harder to get into than self, mainly because there are a lot of gates to pass through. If you're targeting international markets, you probably will have to try and pitch your manuscripts to agents, who will in turn try and sell it to publishers (i.e. Penguin, HarperCollins etc.). In this case, typically everything from the editing, to promotion, book covers etc. will be taken care of by the publisher, and I believe the agent's fees comes from your advance. Until you get picked up by a publisher, I believe you don't pay a cent.\nThen there's the middle ground, which is still sort of trad publishing. Approaching an indie publisher directly. You don't really need to engage an agent, and the publisher will still work on editing, book covers with you, but you will be expected to do some of the promo on your own through your socmed etc. Their reach won't be as good. Local publishers I feel also fall into this category, like https://fixi.com.my/. I believe you can actually engage them directly to send your manuscripts to them.\nSelf publishing is where you are responsible for the writing, editing, book cover and even promotion. This is where you put in the most money, but typically if you're consistent, your income can be decent. There are fewer barriers to entry, but since most folks typically do judge books by their cover, then paying for good artwork and even editing is almost a must. You can then upload to places like Amazon.\nStay away from vanity presses who promise you publishing for a fee. They just aim to make the money off your desire to see the book published physically (thus why they're called vaniity presses)." ], [ "There was another nyet that published and sold e book.

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.", "This is very interesting, do you mind sharing the source for child/slave labour for fracking?

It is commonly thought that the cost of living in Singapore is very high, but it is really the other way round. Even in Singapore as a student and a young working adult, I found that it is easier to save money in Singapore. The most expensive things in Singapore are housing and cars. 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. If someone has the analysis, please share.", "I agree.

I was thinking along the line, if one day I’m not financially contributing to the nation building I would be shunned by the SG government. In fact, when I’m 40, people would rather hire younger people to work instead.\nThe amount of old people working in fast food and cleaner just makes me wonder what happened to them.\nThats why I would rather stay back as Malaysian and retire back here with the savings I have from SGD if I do happen to continue working in SG. by that time the money depreciate probably 1:5 and I will be lots richer?

That's why the Causeway is the busiest land crossing in the world 😂 More than 300,000 people cross the Causeway every single day, in each direction.\nThat's also why prices in JB are not cheap... thanks to S'pore-imported inflation.

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. You don’t litter or vandalize for sports. I rarely see potholes or broken traffic lights here which is a norm in many locations around KV.\nEconomy - Stronger and a clear MNC favourite. 70% of our regional APAC roles are based in Singapore due to its favorable economic policies and availability of strong talent. The government is just smart smarts (albeit sometimes at the expense of their own locals) in attracting foreign investment/diversification of businesses). 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.

Private everything, overtime work, stronger emphasis on health, safety and education so Malaysians can somewhat experience a mini Singapore life in a way.\nAnd I echo one of the comments above, people are warmer in Malaysia as there is less focus on success but more so on relationships and culture building.

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.

But it’s just a really messed up system.\nIf only Malaysia was better managed like Norway, where money generated from petroleum extraction goes to investments that secures the future of its people.

I live in Singapore but have visited KL & Georgetown, as well as JB, Langkawi & Tioman. This is only my view 😊\nFor finance: big ticket items are more affordable in Malaysia, but daily necessities are probably a huge expense given local wages\nFor nightlife: both kind of suck 😅 SG is because of all the strict regulations around it that means nightlife venues are usually managed by large operators with a very bland/safe offering (or the underworld stuff, pick your poison); Malaysia its because a large % of the population is muslim so the offering is quite limited relative to the size of the cities/country (and not much cheaper than in more fun countries)\nFor culture: Singapore is a weekend trip. Malaysia has more to offer, although not THAT much more: there are only like 2-3 old(ish) cities in the whose country, since the Malays traditionally did not build cities, and what there is could use some freshening up.\nFor nature: hands down, Malaysia has Singapore beat, it's not even a fair contest. They have hills, mountains, jungles, beaches. I will say though: Langkawi nature is not being protected adequately, and many beaches are not cleaned in Malaysia. People keep throwing trash everywhere! 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.

Sarawak, Vietnam.\nA Singaporean doctor who I know migrated to Australia, simple reason, he doesn't want his kids to grow up in a place where there is no food security. During MCO, when malaysia closed our border SG gov had to ensure Malaysia will still send daily food needs to them. It was unimaginable what the doctor said has come through not quite total disaster but a wake up call.\nUnknown to many Malaysian unless you lived there are many policies where gov has direct impact on one's daily life. CPF contribution and withdrawal, ERP and COE pricing. If you don't graduate from top schools like RI, Hwa Chong and etc but ITE (polytechnic) you will have tough time getting jobs. ITE students are graduate with real life skills and much needed.\nMalaysia like many countries favours a mix of sme, entrepreneurship and MNC corp. The sky is the limit if you work hard and be millionaires.\nDo you think you can critise the gov like how we do it?\nWhen you get to retirement age, if you find city living too expensive, one can move to a smaller town.

In fact this is not new, this disadvantage since Singapore independence. However, good people and good governance can change things, and Singapore has routinely punch above it's weight. Result speaks for itself.\nSince you talk about food. A taxi driver in Penang once told me the food in Malaysia is more expensive than Singapore. How can it be? It is possible. A fresh graduate in Malaysia earns 3 to 4 k ringgit probably similar to a Singaporean fresh graduate. But wantan mee in Malaysia is easily 7ringgit, and in Singapore $5 is considered slightly expensive.\nIt is not true that in Singapore you need to be academically inclined only to earn a good living. There are positions in the government to reward these scholars, and open an avenue to move up the social ladder if you work hard. In another perspective, because the economy is very vibrant, a lot of people also become rich if they are willing to take risk and get into business.\nI have to agree retirement in Malaysia is probably better in Singapore since income become a limiting factor.

A strong culture of work (\"Made in Singapore\", used to be a thing in industry), a very present european culture of tertiary schooling post-decolonization (anecdotally, Mahathir studied medicine in SG), and all of this in a self-contained tiny package where limited infrastructures spending could go a long way for cheap (estimates go that Singapore has roughly 10,000 km of road while Malaysia has 290,000km, yet the coverage is better in Singapore).\nAdd to that the fortune to be on the way between China and the rest of the world and you had the perfect storm of people working hard at seizing a great opportunity.\nIn exchange for this, it's an ultra competitive and nigh unaffordable place with a climbing suicide rate and one of the lowest self-reported work or relationship happiness in the world.\nChoices had to be made." ], [ "Generally, as someone who are Malaysian with Singaporean roots with family living all over the world, I felt it's pretty the same as living in Klang Valley as M40.... except smaller and Singaporeans have more national obligations as citizens than us here. As for politics, I wouldn't say it was better than the clusterfrak we have here but people shouldn't romanticize their soft authoritarian system.\nBut it really depends. Not everything was greener at the other side. And I'm sure a lot of Singaporeans would love to migrate out and away if they can.

As there are ZERO unions in Singapore.\nTo give an example, James Dyson of the Dyson company (you know the vacuums?)This guy is originally 1 of the people who pushed for UK's Brexit, but when the report came out that UK would lose money because of Brexit (basically relying on further countries to import/export items rather than countries in the EU which are much closer to UK hence less cost in shipping and refrigeration)...he ran all the way to Singapore.\nSo James Dyson lives in Singapore hence how he avoids a lot of taxes but the Dyson factories are in Malaysia.\nIf you check the timing of his UK exit, you would find out that since he came to SEA, the Dyson branch here (from employee reviews) has changed tremendously. What was once a company that relied on fresh ideas by engineers, now use them for harsh labor with no prospects of promotion. 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." ], [ "From my last visit there, their infrastructure, public transport, housing issues and town planning are way ahead of ours.

And the upper middle class and beyond or those who aspire to be upper middle class tend to be materialistic, extremely brand conscious and yes a tad snobbish.\nSo I really appreciate how Malaysians honestly are salt of the Earth people. They seem by and large unbothered by materialism, very family oriented and yes the government isn’t perfect but no government is. And of course there are gripes on cost of living and the economy.

While still on his phone, he took his iPad, logged in into a website, keyed in the order ID, scanned my IC. Whole thing took at least 20 minutes. By the time I was done there's like 15 people queuing behind me. Had I reload as usual it would take less than 1 minute. And I still get charged RM0.50 reload fee wtf.\nConclusion: not worth it at all. Just remember to bring cash to reload your card as usual. Or even better, reload yourself at somewhere like Caring or Guardian so you won't get charged RM0.50 reload fee and use the balance to purchase My50. If there's one advantage is that you can purchase the reload for other people's IC but that's it. It still won't save them the hassle of the counter experience.", "Or even better, reload yourself at somewhere like Caring or Guardian so you won't get charged RM0.50 reload fee and use the balance to purchase My50.\nyou can do that?💀", "Yep. If your TnG balance in your IC is more than RM55, just go to the counter and say want to renew My50. Seeing that you just give your IC without a piece of RM50 along, they know you meant to renew using the TnG balance. No charge.", "hindsight that was obvious, but still, should've known it earlier haha" ], [ "I'm looking to give a present to my friend who likes having a calendar with interesting photographs / artwork, something like this.

The user has been informed this has been moved here, so please do add your replies below -\n29 yo male - Not used to be fat and now stuck for 4 years in life. NEED HELP, Please\nI used to be fat in high school 110kg. Then Iater after college, I started working, Introduced to gym and healthy lifestyle. I walked to office everyday which is less than a km apart. Long story short, I lost weight and fat. 82kg with only 15% fat and I am 179cm I was more confident than ever.\nLater the pandemic struck and the gym is closed. I dont and cant enjoy working out at home because I dont have that rugged and heavy duty equipment at home which will cost me ten of thousands to set up at home. I gained tons of weight because I used to eat like a hog and compensated with having an active lifestyle. But just that now i am not physically active as I used to.\nI quit my job in early 2021 because I found business opportunities in COVID. I sell covid test kits, I manage doctors, I partnered with clinics and conducted a huge mass testing for factory workers and construction workers.\nI made more than half a million in less than 6 month and it was a fun experience since I am really into business and selling. I think I just found my path in life. But having huge amount of money in a short time made me shock and I dont really manage my money well. Later, I found that I only have 20k MYR (I am a Malaysian)\nI bought many Steam games. Eat out at pricey restaurant and bought many big boys toys. Drones, Camera stuff, and High end PC. Giving present to my mum and dad, paying food for my friends when we were hanging out. I was engrossed in gaming. Late night gaming, while eating crap food via Grabfood (like ubereat). I got distracted a lot and i neglected my business. Later the Covid receded and the world back to normal. I dont have any customer anymore. Yet, I still keep paying for the store rent to keep my business equipments. It was like that for almost 2 years,\nNow I am 126kg with 29% fat. I lost muscles and gained weight. I got back to my hometown somewhere in the east coast of Malaysia and stuck with my mum after my father's demise early 2023. I am having issues dealing with my fatness. I am not confident at all to deal with people other than my mother and people really close to me. I avoid reaching out my friends, families and I am afraid seeing other people. What more to look for job or start a business.\nI am afraid of being judged as fat and tell me what you will but all in my eyes is showing that people see fat people are obnoxious and seen negative by many. Always being the dumb character in the movies and pop culture and media. Thus, making me hating myself a lot. Now that I am fat, I cant enjoy anymore going to the gym as I am not comfortable with the surrounding inside the gym. I cant stand being stared or watched even for the slightest second. I am extremely sensitive and I got easily harmed when doing any extreme physical activity to improve my wellbeing.\nI dont know what to do and where to restart my life all over again. Dear readers, I have a burning question in my chest. What and how should I do to remove this negativity and self-hate in order for me to start progressing in life. What are the steps should be taken to be able to see the positivity in others and exclude my fat image from myself so that I dont become harmful whenever I have to deal with others.\np.s : I have 4 years of experience in Safety, Health and Environment (SHE), I have an aircraft maintenance engineering diploma. I have 4 years of experience in business ll togetger. I can sing, act and I do voice overs in Fiverr and I do some video editting just for fun.

Students can then have the option to study languages deeper by replacing, say, the utterly useless pendidikan moral, in Std 3 onwards. If I'm not wrong, this is what they do in the UK/US where they offer French or Spanish as elective subjects. The advantage for us is that we can actually use our languages on a daily basis, while they can forget the French/Spanish they learned because of not using enough.\nIt doesn't even need to be a direct fight to quickly abolish SJKs, just ensure it works so well that it convinces more parents to consider SKs again.

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", "If the money ends up going to israel because of a chain bigger than the malaysian branch, its not the fault of malaysiaj branch, because as far as they can control, the money went to a guy in saudi arabia.\nThat way of assigning guilt is dumb as shit, it would mean every person is guilty because the money ypu gave someone eventually might pass hands with illegal activity outside of your control\n\"woi amirul dont buy from that drink store who knows where your 5 ringgit air bandung money will go to eventually\"", "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.", "Personally i think the fault lies in M israel. No company, especially a franchisee, should shows support or condemn to anything non food related issue, especially in geopolitical issue. Food store is food store. Donate to support humanitary effort, sure, as its general humanitary aid. But condemning israel/ show undying support to hamas shouldn't even be considered.\nYes US supports israel. But did M US shown any support to it? Blaming them just because M paid tax to US is stupid and not using common sense. M US cannot control where the tax money is allocated.", "Believe it or not, I agree with you - companies shouldn't be held responsible for showing political stances.\nUnfortunately, some companies do make clear political stances like Nike with Kaepernick, Ben and Jerry's, and many companies with LBTQ+ rights. We saw the Premier League showing support for Ukraine.\nPublic saw all the above and they can no longer expect companies to be neutral now, can they?", "Yup. Thats why we can go against companies that show said stance publicly and visibly.\nBut not mcd m. They very clearly stated that they are pro palestinian, even donated directly to humanitary fund. BDS and boycotters WANT them to do more, and declare their allegiance. That is what I cannot agree with. They are forcing the company to choose a side. If not, boycott. I mean, even mcd franchisor refuses to butt into the conflict, so far only mcd israel and mcd malaysia made clear statement, and both are supporting different sides. Semua kena pula.\nIn short, I can agree with boycotters targeting companies that made their stance, but not if they want to force them to make a stance.", "If McDonald's Malaysia stated they're pro Palestinians, haven't they chosen a side already? Why stop at not condemning Israel? This is what's suspicious about them - are they independent like they claimed or not?", "There you go.. Forcing a company to choose a side. Tak kira lah mereka nak support ke tak nak support kan? Wasn't that what you claimed just 1 comment ago? Dia nak choose ke tak nak choose ke penting ke?

I'm okay with that, but you know not everyone needs to listen to you. It's not some sort of truth.\nAnd then your example says \"some companies\". Okay, some companies do. What about all companies, or at least most companies. Some people get struck by lightning and survive too.\nAnd then you use that to justify your argument about non-neutrality corporates. Perhaps to justify the McD example above, I dunno I'm trying to not put words in your mouth since you didn't explicitly say it.\nBut at this point you've got several disjointed branches of logic that you need to fix first before the discussion can proceed further.", "I don't think I was.\nI'm being pretty clear. Some companies did make political stances. This has changed public's perception - the public is no longer seeing companies as politically neutral entities anymore.\nI don't see any strawmanning there. You said \"neutral business\". I addressed that directly - I said, in the eye of the public, there's no such thing as \"neutral business\" anymore, thanks to companies like Nike and Ben and Jerry's who have shaped public's perceptions with their political stances.", "I mean some means minority. They're not representative of the majority. If that's your argument, that's kinda strawmanning. I get where you're coming from but if we can't get past this part, I have to disagree.

Strawmanning is if I attacked a point that you didn't make. But you did make a point about McDonald's being neutral:\nYou do realize no neutral business will voluntarily do something like No. 2 right.\nI responded directly to your point saying that from public's POV (not my POV), companies that they noticed, like Nike, indeed have political stances and not neutral.

[ [ "I’m currently working with recruiters for jobs and also applying to jobs in the RM15,000 - RM20,000 range. I’ve been seeing quite a lot of RM20,000 jobs recently. I suspect it’s because of the USD conversion rates. One step higher will be Regional or APAC roles where they would easily be earning USD10,000 to USD15,000 with lots of sweet perks.\nIn terms of industries, right now there’s a boom to rush over to SEA as we are the next big middle + upper class. A lot of US and Europeans agencies moving over here to expand. Ad, marketing, consulting, data management, architecture.\nThen for commerce, I keep seeing high paying jobs in the e-commerce space. Alibaba group, TikTok and Temu + other players have been fighting it out for the SEA market to expect to see lots of hires on that front.\nFintech is booming. This is probably the next industry. Digital banks, payment solutions, cashless, B2B fintech provider. Wait till Singapore builds the framework by this year for the region and anyone working in that line will be minting cash.\nThere’s also an emergence of Web3.0 and blockchain X any industry in Malaysia and in the region. Web3.0 for marketing, event management, insurance, banks, the list can go on and on.\nFood security, agritech will be the most lucrative industry the next 20 years. Food security has now met AI, its new best friend. Expect to see a revolution in that field. I recently interviewed for a job to work remotely in that line, the starting pay is RM25,000 with bonuses and equity and lots of perks.\nI know full-stack developers who are working remotely and earning more than RM30,000 per month. Same goes for AI centric engineers.\nRecruitment is a wild, profitable game all of a sudden with AI and the leap has been tremendous. SEA will be the largest job and labour marketplace over the next 15 years. There are roles with recent movers and shakers in this industry that’s paying in USD.\nIn terms of work-life balance, unless you are in a C-level position in a large established company (which is a rare position), most of the other roles will be relatively heavier on the workload. And so it should be. I’m willing to work my ass off for 5 to 10 years earning >USD10,000 per month and then “retiring” as a consultant or specialist in that field then take it easy after a certain age.", "Very insightful- thanks for your sharing. 🙏🏼👍🏻", "As an fintech expert myself I read a lot of those \"BOOM ABOUT TO HAPPEN\" reports in my daily work life and it's almost always proven false ESPECIALLY when the report literally says that ASEAN will boom, Ads will boom, big data will boom, fintech will boom, food security will boom, IT will boom and recruitment will boom, all in the same report.\nActually, to be completely honest, last time I heard exactly that sort of report was in late 2007 before the 2008 crisis set us back 15 years.\nSome newsletter (or the sub r/Futurology) specialize in promising a brighter future \"right around the corner\", but fail to mention it will take 40 years, be so gradual you won't feel it, and you won't be relevant by the time it happens. Think \"flying cars by the year 2000 that will revolutionize holidays\" sort of news.\nLong story short, take any undue optimism with a massive grain of salt. The market has a way of never overpaying, never overextending and always over-promising. Especially with the cost-to-borrow being what it is worldwide, we're closer to a recession than to a boom, both in China and in the US.\nThat doesn't mean what is promised won't happen: it simply means it won't be the orgy of money for all-qualified party. As usual, a few on top will take the lions share and the rest will fight for middle class crumbs.", "I don't disagree with you on some points, perhaps I'm using the word boom too liberally. OPs question is about jobs + industry + pay. Quick search and eye-test on LinkedIn shows you what jobs from which industries are paying those range of salary. You aren't going to find loads of RM20,000 jobs in print for example.\nAds will boom, big data will boom\nWell, I started a digital media company about 12 years back and people who were bitching, kicking and screaming about how ads and marketing won't boom in South East Asia were definitely wrong about that. They were same boomers who were saying digital and social media won't kill print / traditional ads. 4G + social media + low cost connectivity + retail capitalism, a perfect storm.\nrecruitment will boom\nWell, whether you like it or not, recruitment is booming in this region. Over the past 2 years, there has been about 15% annual increase in hiring in this region by global MNCs or external funded start-ups (data came from TH, MY, VN, PH). There's more remote work paying is USD or AUS than ever before at our doorsteps. Recruitment platforms are more active than ever before.\nfood security\nI've been consulting with an agriculture + pharma company in Australia for the past 3 years. It's a big, big challenge in APAC, SEA especially. Anyone with half a brain can tell you that Agritech will be crucial for the survival of this earth. The amount of funding - private and public - pouring into that industry has been immense over the past 5 years.\nwe're closer to a recession than to a boom\nI don't disagree, we are closer to a recession but then I've a believer that there are pockets of opportunities in any recession. A great example is during covid, I got hired by a Medical Cannabis firm and in 2 years, the industry grew 300% because people were just smoking up at home, giving up alcohol and all other vices, dealing with their mental health. Now, sure, some firms that over-extended are suffering but the industry found the catalyst and now its healthier than ever.\nAs usual, a few on top will take the lions share and the rest will fight for middle class crumbs.\nSure, that's life. From the perspective of OP, worker looking for a high-paying job, that's life isn't it?

If the lady initiated the conversation with you, and suddenly he came in and talk away with her knowing that you don’t understand their language is kind of rude in my opinion.", "This is a good take! It's a novel situation for both OP and the Chinese man, so it makes sense for the Chinese man to just go with the flow instead of having to socially navigate the idea of telling OP that he'll just take it from there, which can seem pretty rude, especially if he's not entirely sure what exactly is going on", "This is the reason, I believe. OP should not be cut out of the conversation." ], [ "the aunty has a thing for you 16-year old Brownie, and not that other guy.", "You have the rizz bro lol", "Lol", "Correct" ], [ "maybe because you are in between them so as a social gesture you are involve in the communication?" ], [ "Maybe he donno the way?\nI hope one day you will have a reunion with him and can find closure.." ], [ "I bet after 16 years that guy oso cringing and wondering \"why didnt i just answer that woman lmao\"", "So 4 more years...", "You're 💯 correct", "Lmfao" ], [ "12 years ago, higher chance it was just people being friendly. The lady probably felt safer to ask you cause you're younger. The man gave a kind gesture and translates.\nNowadays it's probably up to no good. Too much shit going on." ], [ "Maybe he wasn't from Johor?\nHad a similar experience in the Atlas mountains in Morocco.\nTrying to get the bus driver to let out air from his tyres to go up a frozen mountain pass. Arabic speaking driver, Moroccan Arabic/French speaker, me passable French with poor vacbulary/bad Arabic, my friend great French but not spoken.\nConvo:\nDriver to local in Arabic Local to my friend in French My friend to me in English Me to my friend in English/French My friend to me in grammatically correct French Me to local in properly pronounced French Local to driver in Arabic......" ], [ "Maybe the guy is not from the area" ], [ "You’ve been pukau’ed. Might want to check your money, kidney or virginity" ], [ "12 years later you still in one piece..if that local chinese guy didn't helped you...you might been somewhere in remote hidden china village who both legs kena chopped off and begging for renminbi my friend", "That gave me a laugh. Good one" ], [ "Maybe he doesnt actually know where CS is? You mentioned he knows but he actually doesnt know lol" ], [ "You should have said to that guy, \"Eh, why don't you just answer her? No need to translate.\"" ], [ "Inception. You were actually sleeping on the bus. It never happened." ], [ "Had similar experience a month back in Japan. Old women who only speaks Japanese , asks me the direction and being someone bad with direction, asks a passerby who turns out to be Chinese from Guangdong. So I asked them and translate it back to the old women.\nSo maybe guy ain’t local." ], [ "You lengzhai or lenglui ma" ], [ "Most likely cecause out of courtesy. The local chinese guy didn't want to interrupt the conversation and did the minimum so that you and the old lady can carry on the conversation.\nIt is a courtesy.\nAs long as they didn't ask you to signup something in exchange for some rewards, you are good." ], [ "Because the lady asked you. He's keeping you in the conversation topic. Taking you out of it would seem disrespectful." ], [ "Nah i remember trying to go cs back in sekolah menengah the only way is to read if they wrote city squad at the front of the bus." ], [ "Maybe the guy from SG and is equally as lost as her" ] ]
