China was far better under technocrats! They made plans for 100 years! All that changed for the last few years! All Chairman Xi want is global supremacy! And making foreign investors lost hope investing in China!
So go figure what is in store for China as of now! It's really not good!

China is in total mess at the moment! Chairman Xi leadership in deep trouble! The Covid 3 years lockdown was a failure! Economy in general is bad! Debts are going unpaid! Even civil servants salaries are not paid! State governments resort to threats for public bodies to 'donate'for them to pay civil servants in China!
It's really bad! I am not sure how long Chairman Xi can show his cutie face!

So i won't read too much into latest propaganda from China! It's all about pushing the west to build latest tech only for China to steal it later on! This is CCP usually modus operandi!

i3lucker! China has huge corruption problem! Beyond propaganda gimmick, China is at the same level as Russia!
Russia brag been a military might! But look at Ukraine invasion! After 2 years, Russia barely made any inroads! Even their all mighty heli and fighter jets almost wipe out by ukrainains amateur fighters!

Just like reuseable rocket! After a decade, nobody except Spacex has the expertise! And doubtful anyone else will!

It's not easy to develop plane engine! US and EU won't share the knowledge either! China can play this propaganda forever but until end of time, China won't be able to master it!

Bak kut teh is natural viagra! So don't overdose it!

Engineering! Go easy on bak kut teh! Maybe one a week!

Tell you what! All i want to see is that this private owned slot machine operators pay gambling tax and close them up for good! As muslims freely gamble there!
Gambling reform must be carried out swiftly! Only legal ones like Genting allow to operate! Why, because only Genting ban muslims from gambling!

And how about online gambling! And the existence of so many illegal 4D operators! Again, they are giving donations to PAS!

It's no brainer PAS willingly receiving donations from this private held slot machine operators! The thing is, muslims are allowed to gamble freely! And also received protection from enforcement officers!

So MACC called up private slot machine operators for questioning! What i know, Mahathir is the real mastermind behind such private owned slot machine operators! So basically, Anwar is taking action because of Mahathir!
Now, tell me, how come PAS is so quite over the existence of so many private owned slot machine operators and they don't pay gambling tax at all!
And Genting Highland which is the only legally recognise by the government has to pay exorbitant sum! And yet PAS is targeting only Genting!

Politics!

If nasi lemak or roti canai so good, dont' tell me there's no demand in New York, Beijing, Bangkok or any other cities in the world right! Reality hit the ceiling, there's no demand!

And you can't find any true Malaysia restaurant that serve this 'best in the world' foods in any cities all over the world!
In short, we are shiok over nothing!
You can easily find sushi restaurant, chinese restaurant, viet, thai and so forth all over the world! But have you ever hear sushi as the best food in the world! Or tomyam is best food in the world! Never right!

Malaysians tend to have shiok sendiri symdrom! Recently i read that Roti Canai is world best bread! May i ask, where else in the world can you walk in and buy roti canai!
How can you say roti canai is world best bread if you can only find it in Malaysia! You can't find roti canai easily in New York, Tokyo, Beijing or any cities in the world!
Another is nasi lemak! Yeah, heard about how nasi lemak is the most delicious food in the world too! But you can't find it outside of Malaysia!
Either our tourism minister is making things up or just another marketing gimmick to attract foreign tourists!
So yeah, indeed foreign tourists do enjoy our nasi kandar, nasi lemak, roti canai, and so forth! But it's because for them, it's totally new experience! Heck, even our Ramli burger is better than McDonald burger!
But you can't find Ramli burger any else except Malaysia!

Reality!

Shameless! A dead party like Umno should not make noise! Just look at MCA! No matter how democratic a party is, if there's no grassroot, better close shop!
Anyway Umno belongs to Zahid, we all know this!

Umno, Dap and Pas! All the same! All top posts already decided! No different from CCP!

But i am concern that our national education system are producing inward and downright unintelligent humans!

It's plain clear why our children are divided by race! Because we have race based schools! We have chinese, indian and national schools! No need question why when we turn into adults we are simply divided into this race based silos!
Worst still, this division is maintain through employment where 'only those who speak chinese need to apply'! Or civil service where you must be muslim!
I rather not give solution! Because it will be rejected outright! Instead we hould acknowledged that racism is something that we can't eradicate but to live with!

Dissaspointed with PMX Anwar! Still trap in outdated and inward brain drain mantra! Look! Singapore, UAE and many advancing countries have long abandon this brain drain mantra! Let them leave! Let malaysians who have talent go elsewhere! Why waste time in Malaysia if Malaysia continue to employ banglas, and give citizenship to rohinyas!
Instead our neighbour Singapore attract talented expats to propel Singapore further! Same with UAE!
Do you know half of Singapore workforce are expats! If things turn south, expats will be the first to leave Singapore! So be it! That's why Singapore remain very resilient! Malaysia can do the same!
So why bother trying to solve so called brain drain when you cannot even solve food security at home! Our currency is very weak and our bourse is laughing stock at the moment!
Dear PMX Anwar! We know your Madani agenda is already 25 years old! It's not a new idea! Seems you continue to recycle old ineffective agenda and rely on empty talks!

Urbanisation has changed humanity alot! Before urbanisation, humanity totally rely on themselves to provide for everything! Nowadays, we can import or export things! No, i am not talking about globalisation! Urbaniatioin is when society pool themselves into one area with modern amnesties and convenient!
However, urbanisation almost has it's drawback! Beside, nowadays, with availability of internet, you can be anywhere!
I say farming will be better option for older generation! Unfortunately farming is not popular option unless of course you talking about durian farming! With drastic increase in inflation rate, we have no choice but to source food domestically1 Hence farming is not a much better alternative instead of seeking jobs in urban settings!

Basically, what we should be concern is food security brought about by climate crisis!
You may not feel it now but it will become daily concern in coming years!
We are at the stage we we are taking things for granted! And couldn't care less about environment or climate crisis! But it's real and it's happening!

Well, we won't go hungry as there are other alternative instead of rice! But it's better for mass plantation of rice now that wait till thing go out of hand!

India has banned export of rice! This has been predicted in fact i already warn this months ago! Hence i have store rice that can last for half a year! But what i didn't anticipate is that Thailand and other producing rice nation also reduce their rice export! And mind you, what if rice supply reach very critical level worldwide!

Government of the day must quickly implement food security! Plant as much rice as possible! And deepen rivers and drainage!
We dont know which will hit us first! Either super drought or super flood!
In case of super flood, of course it's a few days event! As for super drought, it could go on for months even a year! We really don't know! The weather nowadays is so unpredictable! It was predicted that we are going into drought season but so far that prospect never materialized!

Actually most of us are happy with our weather nowadays! Almost everyday rain and we have not experience much heat like previously!
However, we are in climate crisis even at this very moment! Other countries are suffering! China, Hong Kong and the rest had flood, super typhoons and so forth! Thailand suffers drought!

Future!

But so true! Incandescent bulb do produce alot of heat! I remember when me and wifey were very poor, we rent a room with only one incandescent light but the heat generated was too much to bare!

I3lucker! Wow! Never thought of that!

Nobody use this old school bulb anymore! LCD are much better!

Anwar talk to much! But implementations too little!

Income! Perhaps already expected! If Mahathir do make 3rd comeback, he would change Malaysia name for sure! Perhaps Keralaysia is more suitable!

When it comes to eating, i am like 1.0cc Perodua kancil! I don't eat that much nowadays! I eat small portion of rice, more veggie and meat! And i never order soft drinks if dining out!
But i can't say the same about others! It's common sight to see the other tables with mountain of rice and toppings! Order soft drinks and some desert after indulging huge portion! I mean that's like sure way to get a bed in hospital! But heay, not my body, none of my business!

U know how important is eating out to the thousAnds of malay hawkers or not

Answer : Plenty of hawkers in pasar malam selling at reasonable price! After work, one can go to pasar malam and buy take away dinner! Some are healthy options!

Actually Rafizi is correct but media especially the opposition are twisting his statement!
Cost of dining out is no different from home cook provided you only go for healthy options!
Like taking mix rice with one portion meat and one portion veggie which is the best way! And drink water with it! If you do home cooking, the cost is not that much difference!
Unfortunately, we are more driven or rather addicted to artificial flavorings!
We dump tons of over saturated toppings! Drink soft drinks! Taking 2nd round even third round!
And then we complain how cost of food has skyrocket! True inflation overun our salary but if you are taking healthy portion, it's still reasonable!

Rafidah and Mahathir always go hand in hand! One barks and the other do the attacking! As usually Daim will make apperance when he sees the $$$$$$$!

To those who want to do ehailing, i say forget it! Don't waste your time! Focus on qcquaring skills that pays well! Ehailing is a losing business for edrivers! Food riders are different since they are using motorcycle and cost of operation are much lower!

The current Madani government indeed indrectly or directly contribute to ehailers dilemma! I mean, why on eart would you allow more competitors by been so lenient to them while established operator like Grab continue to be under microscope!
Clearly you can't do that! Make sure all ehailing operators submit to the same rules and regulations!
Some operators like Maxim and Indriver do not follow current rules and regulation! In fact safety of passengers are at risk! I am very sure, one fine day, some murder or rape case on Maxi or Indriver happen and authority can't do anything to trace or bring culprit to justice!
My advise, don't take Maxim or Indriver or those new ones if you care about safety! And i must say Anthony Loke doing bad job handling this issue!

Today however, you are lucky if you hit 4k a month! Minus expenses, take home earnings will be as good as minimum salary of 1.5k! Worse off, your car may see much higher repair cost due to working longer hour that usually! An ICE car can only operate like 8 hours a day max! This is due to ICE shortcomings! Too many moving parts that wear down easily! Unlike EV which require much much much maintenance! China is way ahead from the rest of the world in last mile transportation! EV ehailing are normal in China!

Last year, been edriver was the best! Earning 7k a month was not hard! As long as you work long hours! Which is fine! Because you need to minus operation cost which may see net of around 4K or so! Which is still very reasonable!

Reality!

My dietician cousin lament how our foods are just total disaster! Too much fat, too much salt, too much oil, too much sugar but almost no protein! That's why you see so many malaysians who dine out are scaling obesity with very little body muscle!
At my age, i could squat 40kg with 12 repetition! I watch my neighbour trying to squat the same weight, barely can do one! And he looks so healthy physicaly! Of course, his body is mostly fat!
Decades ago, before fast food, most malaysians were skinny but strong! Why, because very little body fat but with good muscle mass! And of course, ladies back then were much much much more attractive compare to todays!

Speakup! Exactly! I wonder why there's endless crowd in Starbuck and McDoanald! And all thsoe fatty processed food are selling well while healthy alternative considered 'old people' food!
I tell you, with the kind of diet our current generation are taking, they will age too fast! By their 50s, they already on waiting list in medical complication ward!

In era where those above 50 already considered antiquated for working enviroment, in Malaysia, those above 80 are prime to be lawmakers! And soon, requirement for PM in waiting will be only those above 100 will be considered!

I am sorry for bringing up politics yet again! I can't help it given how popular Mahathir is lately! I mean everywhere he goes, crowd of cave dwellers line up to greet him!

Seems Anwar continue to recycle his already stale victim card! Surprisingly, even Wan Azizah could have been our PM! Mohiden and Sabri effortless became backdoor PM! Fed up with this self inflicted man!

Wise man said, old wine taste the best! Slap new label, you have the best wine on earth! Mahathir's wine Malaysia Boleh!

So yeah, post GE16 will be blessing for those above 80! If you are 76 now, cheer up! You are just entering the perfect age where come GE16, you will have many career options waiting for you! So everywhere you go, vacancy post will proudly display 'Only those above 80 need to apply'!
