Dunlop is back in Malaysia?

Yup, it is “back”.

Dulu, jenama Dunlop duduk bawah Continental sebab sejarah lama di mana Continental Malaysia beli kilang lama Dunlop di PJ. Disebabkan tu, dia dibenarkan menggunakan jenama Dunlop tapi tayarnya guna teknologi Continental.

Malaysia was the only country with this special relationship.

Tapi awal tahun ni, Continental dah kembalikan hak jenama Dunlop kepada pemilik sebenarnya , Sumitomo Rubber Industries.

Sama macam pasaran lain. Dulu, Dunlop di US, Europe and some Ocenia countries di bawah Good Year Tires.

Pada tahun 2025, Goodyear letgo ke Sumitomo jugak.

Sumitomo ada tayar dia sendiri, tapi jenama paling terkenal di Malaysia bawah syarikat tu ialah, FALKEN.

Network School’s problem is not that Malaysia is hostile to innovation. Malaysia already has a much stronger example of privately built innovation, education, housing and commerce working together. It is called Bandar Sunway.

The difference is that Sunway was built to become part of Malaysia. Network School appears to be built to use Malaysia as a backdrop, while selling access to a transnational social circle whose loyalty is to the network rather than the place hosting it.

Bandar Sunway created a durable urban ecosystem: universities, hospitals, offices, housing, retail, hospitality, transport links and thousands of jobs. Even Malaysians who never study at Sunway University, enter its theme park or use its medical facilities still benefit from the surrounding employment, training, supply chains, property demand and institutional capacity it creates. Its success enlarges Malaysia’s own capabilities instead of merely importing consumers with money.

Bandar Sunway also shows that a private development can pursue profit without becoming socially detached from its host country. Its commercial success depends on attracting students, patients, workers, residents and businesses into institutions that Malaysians can actually use. The project gains value as the surrounding society becomes stronger. That is very different from a model where exclusivity itself is the product and where local participation is secondary to access granted by a foreign network.

That is what serious place-making looks like. The developer does not merely attract affluent outsiders and call their proximity a community. It builds institutions that remain useful when the original founders leave.

Its legitimacy comes from value embedded in the country, not from the prestige, wealth or social connections of people temporarily occupying rooms. The host society is not scenery; it is the main stakeholder whose long-term interests justify the project.

Network School, by contrast, seems to treat networking itself as the product. Its central promise is access to other selected members, while Malaysia supplies the land, infrastructure, labour, legal jurisdiction and low operating costs. If the network relocates, most of the supposed intellectual value leaves with it. Malaysia is left with rooms, publicity and an argument about special treatment. That is closer to an exclusive membership club than a genuine development institution.

Chinese AI companies offer another useful comparison. Their strongest projects do not define innovation as placing ambitious people in an expensive enclave and hoping that useful ideas emerge. They build models, platforms and infrastructure that are then pushed into manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, robotics, vehicles, energy systems, education and enterprise operations. Innovation is expected to enter production, lower costs and increase national capability, not remain a lifestyle experience for a self-selected elite.

The important point is that ordinary people can benefit without ever opening the AI product themselves. A worker may benefit because a factory becomes more productive. A patient may benefit because medical imaging improves. A consumer may benefit because logistics become cheaper. A local developer may benefit because powerful open-weight models can be adapted without paying a foreign company for every use. The technology becomes part of the economy rather than a gated social identity.

DeepSeek, Qwen and other Chinese systems are not valuable only because they answer prompts. They strengthen domestic research, reduce dependence on foreign platforms, lower costs for local firms and create tools that can diffuse across the entire economy. Their public value is not limited to direct users. Even where companies remain commercial and competitive, the underlying expectation is that technological capacity should circulate through society and industry.

That is the standard Network School should be judged against. Does it train Malaysians, build institutions, create transferable technology, employ local talent, solve Malaysian problems or leave behind infrastructure that still matters after its members depart?

If the answer is mostly no, then Malaysia is not rejecting innovation. It is being asked to subsidise exclusivity, branding and a mobile foreign network. Malaysia should welcome builders, but builders must leave behind more than expensive rooms and flattering stories about themselves. Otherwise, the country provides the platform while outsiders capture the prestige, relationships and upside for themselves, then move on.

Why does it have to be Network School and why can't Network School comply with Malaysian laws?

Why should any digital nomad pay $1500 to $3000 per month for a room when $1500 a month in Kuala Lumpur provides the same networking experience, rent for an entire apartment (not a room), amenities, and much better food?

And why is your advertisement about being next to Singapore instead of being in Malaysia?

The Network School (@ns) drama is all over the Internet

What's really happening?

I'm Malaysian & Irish ~ born and raised in London. Recently moved back to 🇲🇾 for good.

My plan?

To help build Malaysia's AI Builders Hub (@KrackedDevs) ~ upskilling our people, pulling Malaysian builders together, and pushing for Malaysian-made tech products.

Turning Malaysians from consumers into producers.

Here's a thread - a simple breakdown of the NS Drama, from my humble perspective 👇

[Novara Media @novaramedia]

Zohran Mamdani has turned down an 18% pay rise that would have brought his salary to $305,800 (£227,645).

“I haven’t knocked on anyone’s door in New York City and they’ve said their concern is that the mayor makes too little,” he told reporters on Thursday.

The same day, members of the city council voted to approve a pay raise for themselves and other officials.

🚨🇫🇷 Zinedine Zidane will be France next head coach, never in doubt since November as clear decision was made.

Zidane has already sorted his staff and the documents will be formally signed this month.

He’ll lead France into Nations League, Euro 2028 and World Cup 2030. ✍🏼

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

Yes, those photos you’ve seen are real.

More than 18 years ago, a baby named Lamine Yamal and his mom Sheila met Lionel Messi at a UNICEF fundraising photoshoot.

Today, their achievements on the pitch inspire millions. Off the pitch, both Messi and Lamine Yamal use their voices and platforms as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors to support and advocate for children around the world.

The goal? That every child survives, thrives, and fulfils their potential.

We are proud to have them on our team.

The KL High Court has ruled that buyers of strata properties purchased through court-ordered auctions cannot be compelled to pay maintenance charges and sinking fund arrears accumulated by previous owners.

It found that purchasers at judicial sales are not "successors-in-title" under the Strata Management Act and therefore cannot inherit those liabilities.

Something I would like to see more of from Malaysia's private/academic/civil sector:

Don't seek validation from the government.

If you have a great product or service to offer, just do it. Don't need to ask for permission, and don't hope for it to be 'official'.

Prove your value in the free market (like Upin and Ipin did), and operate on your own terms.

In many other countries, society knows that what's produced outside the government is far superior. Cuma in Malaysia, there's a bit of 'taksub' towards what the gov does. That needs to change.

[Syed Saddiq @SyedSaddiq]

Alhamdulillah.

Hari ini, mahkamah tertinggi negara telah membuat keputusan.

Pembebasan saya kekal.

Tetapi hari ini bukan sekadar tentang kebebasan saya.

Ini tentang satu prinsip bahawa kebenaran mesti dipertahankan, walaupun harga yang perlu dibayar sangat mahal.

Lebih enam tahun saya melalui proses ini.

Saya tidak lari.
Saya tidak menangguh.
Saya tidak minta layanan istimewa.

Mengapa?

Kerana saya percaya Malaysia mesti dipimpin oleh mereka yang sanggup kehilangan kedudukan demi prinsip, bukan menjual prinsip demi kedudukan.

Saya boleh memilih jalan yang lebih mudah. Saya boleh berdiam diri. Saya boleh tunduk.

Tetapi kalau kita sendiri menyerah ketika diuji, bagaimana kita mahu meminta rakyat terus percaya kepada negara ini?

Saya melawan bukan kerana saya membenci sesiapa.

Saya melawan kerana saya terlalu mencintai Malaysia.

Perjalanan ini hampir merampas banyak daripada saya….masa, nama baik dan masa depan.

Tetapi ia tidak pernah merampas kepercayaan saya terhadap Malaysia.

Terima kasih kepada Mama dan Abuyah, yang menanggung kesakitan ini bersama saya dalam diam. Kepada keluarga, tunang saya, pasukan guaman, sahabat-sahabat, rakyat Muar dan seluruh rakyat Malaysia yang tidak pernah berhenti mendoakan saya, terima kasih.

Perjalanan ini mengajar saya bahawa kuasa itu sementara. Jawatan itu sementara.

Tetapi prinsip, maruah dan khidmat itulah yang kita tinggalkan kepada generasi seterusnya.

Hari ini bukan hari untuk membalas dendam.

Saya keluar dari mahkamah bukan dengan kebencian, tetapi dengan tanggungjawab yang lebih besar.

Selepas ini, saya terus ke Parlimen.

Kerana perjuangan ini tidak pernah hanya tentang saya.

It has always been Malaysia first.

Dulu, sekarang dan selamanya.
