@mehdirhasan breaks down the ‘right to exist’ argument about Israel and why the discourse is clear Israeli propaganda plus he shares three ways you can counter-argument if you find yourself stuck in the same bullsh*t debate.
Most Japanese people long ago abandoned kimono in everyday life in favor of Western clothing. Yet the moment Muslims begin wearing kimono, some people panic and claim that "our culture is being polluted." It is a rather pathetic reaction. And even if they rush to buy kimono in order to "defend" their culture, the irony is that most affordable kimono available today are no longer made in Japan, but are manufactured in factories in China.
Malaysia betul betul guna kuasa Diplomatik habis ni
Sbb minyak kena block kat Negara Arab
Malaysia skrg akan dapat minyak dan gas dari 5 negara Suriname, Kanada, Brazil, Turkmenistan dan Rusia
Dengan skrg Iran pun offer benda sama kat Malaysia
Inilah kelebihan bila kita baik dengan semua orang.
The most painful thing as a Malaysian travelling in China isn’t struggling to get used to the food, the weather, their Mandarin accent or even the cultural differences.
It’s realising that an entire civilization somehow functions without fucking bidets in their toilets.
😂
Please follow these Japanese content creators. They give tips to Muslim travelers on how to enjoy Japan. Japan is actually very Muslim friendly despite what you see here on Twitter.
If I may add to @econsmalaysia post, 10 years after independence, about 50% -- half of all Msians -- were poor
Today, it’s only about 5%
When Msia and Singapore split — and nothing to take away from SG’s remarkable success — worth remembering that it was Msia that had the larger, poorer, more rural population. Yet it managed to lift millions out of poverty (and that too without creating permanent slums).
Every M’sian should be proud of that!
My opinion on Rohingya refugee issue in Malaysia.
1. Malaysia is one of the few countries that allows Rohingya refugees to land safely and stay temporarily on our soil pending resettlement by @Refugees. In contrast, Singapore and Thailand are known to push refugee boats back out to sea;
2. Malaysia historically does not allow refugees (with strict exemptions) to legally work until recently and even then restricted to labour intensive jobs (https://t.co/FGV2a4MhJz);
3. Malaysian government does not allow refugees or foreigners to enjoy the rights that full citizens have for eg public healthcare and education, they have to pay full pricing for it. That is the case for any country in SEA.
Foreigners including refugees who were treated due to compassion cost Malaysian taxpayers RM102 million of unpaid bills alone since 2023. (https://t.co/urOaeqNk8i);
4. Malaysians alongside @Refugees and other home-grown NGOs including those founded by refugee communities themselves are allowed to collect donations from Malaysians & other funders, operate food banks and schools for them.
In my youth activism days @LigaRakyatLRD is one of them. @PichaEats even provides employment opportunities for cooks.
5. Undocumented migrants exposes any sovereign nation to security risks because espionage, terrorist movement, etc, we are Tier 2 in human trafficking because of Item 1 Malaysia's kindness in accepting refugees.
It is perfectly understandable for Malaysia to demand @Refugees to allow Home Ministry access to their records to ensure they're filtering out criminals from genuine survivors properly.
Any sovereign country in the world has similar concerns.
The friction arises because of the lack of foresight in the previous BN-led government then in not preparing resources to teach refugees we accepted to assimilate with local culture.
With no proper onboarding procedure they don't have the knowledge or cultural sensitivity to comply with our culture or our laws coupled with the lack of legal employment opportunities.
They're just on permanent survival mode.
I've worked with refugees and have met lovely people. The ones I've the privilege to call allies graduated from NGO-sponsored schools and have been resettled by @Refugees to home countries like the USA.
Sadly, refugees who are uneducated are still in Malaysia waiting their turn, which makes me think. We should've kept the educated good ones for our own labour force.
If those countries only demand educated/verified individuals for resettlement in their countries, why should Malaysia be demonised for still hosting the refugees nobody wants? This is the source of public anger against Noor Azizah.
If they made it to a developed nation, give back to the community left here by sponsoring the schools so that the rest of the community here too, can qualify for resettlement in other developed nations.
pihak UN pulak akan hantar warga Rohingya yang cantik2 & bijak pandai je ke US, UK, & European countries. so yang tinggal kat Malaysia ni warga Rohingya yang tak ikut spec westerners/colonisers
Malaysia ni bukan tong sampah dunia nak kena kutip & terima sampah2 negara lain
y’all need to cut her some slack even though she’s malaysian american she really feels her roots in malaysia and wanted to honor her home. also just reading the word “canai” it’s not intuitive from an english speaker that its pronounced “chanai”
Everyone is angry at this.
Not just the Malays. The Chinese, the Indians, the indigenous tribes and myself included as an East Malaysian.
And we should be.
A family of four from Terengganu, a father, a mother, a 73-year-old grandmother and a 10-year-old girl, were on their way somewhere on Monday afternoon near Simpang Renggam, Johor.
It looked like a regular day but they never made it home.
Two brothers of Chinese origins, 19 and 22 years old, were racing on that same road in a Mercedes Benz A250 and a BMW 530e.
When the BMW lost control, it crossed into the opposite lane and hit four other vehicles.
According to news reports, the 22-year-old driver also died when his car entered a ravine.
Five people died in total. No amount of money can bring back those five lives.
I’ve seen people make this a racial issue online. I understand the anger.
But to me this is a road safety failure.
And somewhere, it’s also a parenting failure.
Because two young men shouldn’t be racing luxury cars on a public road. Something along the way went very wrong. So wrong… 😔
This is a classic case of cause and effect.
Every day we see drivers like this on our roads. Speeding, weaving, treating the highway like a circuit.
Many don’t see the importance of road safety until it happens to them or to someone they love.
The scary part is no matter how careful we are, some people are careless.
We used to have real road safety campaigns in this country. In the 80s and 90s, it was everywhere, on TV, on radio, in schools.
It shaped how a generation thought about driving.
I feel the culture is gone. And we’re paying for it with lives.
I won’t be surprised if something like this happens again in a few months. Because nothing has really changed.
I don’t know when Malaysia will become a country that is able to reduce its road accident rate.
To the families who are affected, words are not enough. May they rest in peace. Deepest condolences. 😔
"If your city "daytime" population is less than 5 million , please don't ask for LRT or even ART"
By this logic, Sapporo (1.9 mil), Fukuoka (1.6 mil), and Sendai (1.1 mil) shouldn't have subway networks
Yet they all do. This doesn't include the JR lines
JB needs rail transit
You reject the proposal because it’s “overdevelopment”
I reject the proposal because it encourages people to drive as it has too much car park spaces in the building rather than walking to Kerinchi LRT station 10 mins away
We are not the same
Aku malas nak cari pasal atas jalanraya ni, tapi kalau aku pun tengah memotong, kau high beam aku guna matahari pun, aku nak pi mana lagi?
Belah kiri aku ada lori, belah kanan divider, dan aku bukan bawak 110 pun.
Karang aku cucuk kau sampai depan pintu pagar rumah kau, kau report polis pulak kan.
Kalau kereta kau takat 4 minit nak sampai 200, kau kadar diri la nak high beam orang.
Beringatlah nak mencucuk orang sebab sehebat hebat kau, ada je orang lain lagi hebat atas dunia ni.
Atas jalanraya, salah sikit, akibatnya maut. So bengap kau tu, simpan la sikit untuk diri kau.
Jangan kongsi bengap kau dengan manusia lain, terutama atas jalanraya.
Aku suka ayat dia ni
Kadangkala kita ni nak effort untuk Palestin
Terus expect menang 100 peratus
Padahal isu Palestin ni bukan isu senang. Perlukan pengorbanan dan menang perlahan-lahan
Kalau Isu Palestin ni mudah lama dah Palestin merdeka
Takyah susah susah nak lawan Issewel bermati matian. Perang pun dah lebih 8 Kali
Ini Ultimate Goal Umat Akhir Zaman. Konstantinopel pun 800 Tahun baru termakbul Hadis Nabi. Tu waktu Empayar Islam Peak tu. Ni baru 78 Tahun gais
Kita skrg one of the lowest of course perlukan masa dan long term battle, plan and gain
The state government can do so much more by improving the current bus network to be more:
- Frequent
- Fast
- Reliable
And it can start with the PJ City Bus network

KEJAYAAN BARU MISI GLOBAL SUMUD FLOTILA. TEKANAN POLITIK DAN UNDANG-UNDANG
Misi Global Sumud Flotila menyaksikan kejayaan baru bukan sahaja dalam Break The Silence
Tetapi memberi tekanan Politik kepada Israel.
Kes jenayah Israel kini difailkan di Greece, Itali dan Mahkamah Hak Asasi Eropah. Perancis menyekat Menteri Keselamatan Negara Israel, Itamar Ben Gvir dan Poland mempertimbangkan perkara sama
Korea Selatan mempertimbangkan menangkap Netanyahu dan Yoav Gallant. 1,000 Ahli Parlimen dunia menandatangani Deklarasi Brussels, 48 Ahli Parlimen Kesatuan Eropah menandatangani desakan untuk memutuskan hubungan kerjasama Eropah dan Israel. Ini termasuk PM Sepanyol Pedro Sanchez yang mahu sekatan diperluaskan ke seluruh Eropah.
Hampir semua negara yang baik dengan Israel memanggil Duta Besar Israel di negara mereka atau Charge De Affairs bagi menyampaikan kutukan sehingga Menteri Luar Israel marah dengan tindakan Itamar Ben Gvir
CENTHRA Malaysia menandatangani Deklarasi Brussels membolehkan Malaysia mendakwa Israel di Mahkamah Jenayah Antarabangsa melalui proksi
