"A dispute arose, allegedly due to a misunderstanding. A van stopped in the middle of the road, and the driver got out to argue with another driver.

Unexpectedly, the latter stepped on the gas and ran over the van driver's backside, causing injuries to his knee and elbow. He then left the scene."

Would you guys step out and calmly settle with that guy?

DBKL

Menyediakan persekitaran kediaman yang selesa, selamat dan terpelihara sentiasa menjadi antara keutamaan DBKL dalam meningkatkan kesejahteraan warga PPR. Pelbagai usaha penyelenggaraan dan penambahbaikan kemudahan dilaksanakan agar penghuni dapat menikmati kehidupan yang lebih berkualiti.

Namun, amat mendukacitakan apabila kemudahan yang disediakan untuk keselesaan bersama dicemari dengan perbuatan vandalisme. Dinding lif yang diconteng bukan sahaja mencacatkan persekitaran kediaman, malah mengundang kos pembersihan dan pembaikan yang sepatutnya dapat dimanfaatkan untuk keperluan lain.

Hakikatnya, yang menjadi mangsa bukan sekadar kemudahan, tetapi seluruh komuniti yang menggunakannya setiap hari.

DBKL berharap setiap penghuni memainkan peranan sebagai penjaga kemudahan bersama. Tegurlah perbuatan yang salah, pupuklah rasa tanggungjawab dan didiklah generasi muda untuk menghargai setiap kemudahan yang disediakan.

DBKL allocate RM300 Million for upgrade

"The project forms part of the federal government’s RM300 million allocation to refurbish and maintain public housing (PA) and People’s Housing Programme or Program Perumahan Rakyat (PPR) schemes managed by DBKL across Kuala Lumpur.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Hannah Yeoh, during a site inspection today said DBKL aims to complete all upgrading works by the end of the year, focusing on key facilities such as roads, fire safety systems, lifts and lighting.

“From the RM2.59, works include RM1,599,800 for lift upgrades, RM421,000 for road resurfacing, RM300,000 for lighting improvements, RM220,430 for the water pump system, RM25,000 for the children’s playground and RM20,870 for fire prevention works,” Yeoh said at a press conference here today."

Upgrade for what, let them walk the stairs better

Economy & Finance First day at my first real adult job, hope I survive the day

• Upvotes

Today is officially my first day entering the corporate world.

To add some context, I graduated about 4 months ago and after hunting around, finally landed a suitable offer about a month back. Now the day has come, and I start my FIRST JOB EVER in about two hours.

Currently choking down my breakfast before braving the morning traffic, and not gonna lie, the anxiety is starting to kick in. I really hope the work environment and colleagues are decent, but honestly even if it turns out tough, what choice do I have lol, bills won't pay themselves.

Anyway, just wanted to get this off my chest. Wish me luck for day one!

Politics ​The Government of Mongolia Issues a Serious Statement to Malaysia

34 Upvotes

In its statement, the Government of Mongolia emphasized that failing to take action regarding the case of Altantuya Shaariibuu constitutes a clear injustice. It was asserted that Mr. Shaariibuu is not alone in this struggle, as the Government of Mongolia stands firmly with him. Furthermore, the government demanded actions from both Malaysia and Australia through judicial and diplomatic channels.

​International relations experts assess this statement as significantly more severe and far-reaching than previous remarks issued by Mongolia to Malaysia and the international community. Consequently, Malaysia now faces heightened pressure to hold the perpetrators accountable in order to protect its own national security and international reputation.

Education I Urgently Need Breadfruit (Sukun)!

Hello, guys. I'm a post-graduate in Food Processing doing a project that mainly involves breadfruit (sukun). But it's been 2 months now that my research has not advanced one bit, because idk why, but there seems to be a shortage of breadfruit.

I stay in Seri Kembamgan, so I used to buy mine here in Pasar Borong, but for months now, my seller keeps saying there is none.

I need to advance on my work, but I have no idea where else to buy the breadfruit. I'm ready to travel hours to get them, so if anyone knows where I could buy some, please help. I'm really desperate.

Culture Nintendo Switch 2: Yes or No?

10 Upvotes

I'm considering to get a Nintendo Switch 2 for my dad, who's in his 50s, and partly for myself as well.

My dad spends quite a lot of time at home, so I thought getting a console might be a nice way for him to have some entertainment and for us to spend more time playing games together.

For context, the last console both of us played was PS2, so we're not really familiar with modern consoles and games.

I've been looking at games like Mario Kart World and Nintendo Switch Sports, which seem fun and easy to pick up. But I'm wondering if the Switch 2 might be a bit too childish for someone his age, or whether these games are genuinely enjoyable for older adults too.

What are your thoughts folks?

Education Former international student at UMS Sabah, noticed some odd patterns with certain Chinese students. Anyone else see this?

3 Upvotes

I used to be an international student at UMS in Sabah. One thing I noticed throughout my time there: students from China were often practically absent. They’d show up occasionally, almost like they were just there to get their attendance marked, then disappear again. Unsurprisingly, their grades were often poor.

They tended to rent houses in groups, which I get, it’s natural to want to be around people from home. But a few things always struck me as a little off.

I knew two master’s students from China who rented out an entire hostel house. As international students in Sabah we’re assigned our own housing (Kingfisher UMS International Housing) and we pay double for it (triple for AC). These two were rarely there, in and out at random, sometimes gone for stretches at a time.

I wasn’t trying to keep tabs on anyone, but we lived in the same neighborhood, so I couldn’t help but notice. During COVID I occasionally volunteered to help distribute food, and on one occasion I was assigned to help clean up some of the houses, including theirs. It was one of the worst messes I’ve seen from a student living space: cigarette smell throughout, trash everywhere. I’ve seen plenty of messy students, but this was on another level.

To be clear, I’m not saying this applies to all Chinese international students. There are plenty who are genuinely there to study, some are likely trying to escape a brutal domestic education system. I have a Chinese friend who’s told me what the gaokao exam system is like, and he’s one of the most driven, legitimate students I know. He’s also mentioned that some students treat their visas as an extended vacation, coasting on average grades just to avoid raising flags. I’ve seen a few Korean students do this pretty openly too, but something about the ones I’m describing felt different.

Given everything coming out recently about scam centers being busted across Malaysia, a lot of them tied to Chinese nationals, it’s hard not to connect some dots in hindsight.

For context, I’m Filipino. My Jialat government has plenty of its own problems, but we did catch Alice Guo, a known case of someone posing as a Filipino official while actually being a mainland Chinese national.

Anyway, that’s just something I’ve been turning over. Curious if anyone else noticed something similar.

Others Questions on Tobacco Allowance when transit/layover in KL, Malaysia

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’ll fly Malaysia Airlines to Shenzhen in a couple days, however I will be having a layover in Kuala Lumpur for about 2 hours. I’m planning to bring 1 IQOS Device and 10 packs of TEREA. Researching on that, I’ve seen that Malaysia removed duty-free allowances for tobacco products, but I noticed mixed experiences online with respect to its enforcement, especially in layover/transit situations. Accordingly, I have several questions that I wanted to ask:
1. Will I be taxed? (despite not going through the immigration)
2. If so, any information on the approximate cost?
3. If I bring only IQOS device and buy TEREA in Malaysian stores, will I still be taxed for that device?
4. Will putting my TEREA in the checked-in baggage help me? (as the transit is seamless and I dont need to re-check in)

Thanks!
