  5. The sheer insanity of #Malaysians crippling traffic and civic functions out of abject stupidity and selfishness. Every single day.
    Not only will they do nothing about it, but most go to great lengths to defend it.

    The situation is so absurd that anyone outside wouldn't believe it.

  6. Malaysia To Implement World Anti-Doping Code At The 2027 SEA Games

    In an effort to ensure that the 2027 edition of the Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games) will fully comply with the standards of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), host nation Malaysia will implement the World Anti-Doping Code in the regional games, according to a news report by VnExpress.

    To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of VnExpress. Some parts in boldface…

    Malaysia is set to become the first Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games) host to implement the World Anti-Doping Code at the 34th edition next year.

    President of the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) Mohamad Norza Zakaria stated at a press conference on April 8 that the adoption of the code aims to ensure that the 2027 SEA Games fully comply with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) standards, thereby enhancing the transparency and international standing of the Games.

    Malaysia’s proposal was approved at the first meeting of the Southeast Asian Games Federation (SEAGF) for the 2025-2027 period, held on the same day.

    The World Anti-Doping Code, first adopted in 2004, serves as the foundation for harmonizing policies, regulations, and activities to combat doping among sports organizations and authorities worldwide.

    Mohamad Norza also said that the SEAGF had agreed to set May 8 as the deadline for national Olympic committees to propose additional sports for the 2027 SEA Games. After this date, proposals will be submitted to the Malaysian SEA Games Organizing Committee (MASOC) and the National Sports Council for consideration before being discussed at the next council meeting, expected in the coming months.

    The 2027 SEA Games, featuring 38 sports, will be hosted across Sarawak, Penang, Johor, and Kuala Lumpur.

    Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think the implementation of the World Anti-Doping Code will make Malaysia’s hosting of the 2027 SEA Games more credible and more transparent? What breakthroughs do you think will happen in the next SEA Games in relation to the anti-doping measures?

  9. #India - Farmers devastated after 80% of key crops are wiped out — here's what happened

    Story by Tina Deines, February 4, 2026

    "#TomatoFarmers in one region in India are struggling after their crops were hit hard by #pests and #climatic factors.

    What's happening?

    "The Pioneer reported on the challenging growing season for farmers around the town of #Gaulapar in northern India, an area that is known for tomato production. According to growers there, about 80% of their cultivated tomatoes have been damaged by pests.

    "The publication also lists '#ClimaticFactors' as a challenge for tomato farmers. For one, young tomato plants suffered damage in the initial phase of cultivation due to #HighTemperatures during the planting season.

    Why is this crop damage concerning?

    "According to the publication, the drop in tomato yields has led to surging prices at the market, affecting consumers. While some farmers are benefitting from higher prices, most are suffering due to the crop damage they've endured.

    "This is yet the latest example of the struggles facing food producers worldwide and the cascading impacts they have on consumers.

    "One recent study tied recent dramatic price increases in staple foods to rising global temperatures, which are leading to prolonged droughts, more severe heat waves, unpredictable precipitation patterns, and other severe weather. For instance, #Malaysians are facing soaring prices at the supermarket after a heavy #monsoon season wiped out a number of local #crops."

  21. It's cool to see a non-Malaysian interview #Malaysians about this. Though saying we speak 5-7 languages is a stretch lol. The average is more like 2-4, and it depends on what location, race & education. In Penang it's easier to find trilingual folks, for eg. There are some people who only speak ONE language, but they have to usually add another to improve their work opportunities in Malaysia.

    Guess how much she paid for the meds?
    ZERO.
    The doc also gave her 6 month supply of blood pressure meds. She had to pay for that, however.
    RM1 (about US$0.25)
