sometimes people grow apart, with no malice in the energy, no resentment attached, no overdrawn explanations, just distant. sometimes your paths both split in two different directions and your journeys become incompatible with each other despite what existed before.
the intimacy of someone holding a safe space for your thoughts, creating intentional time for you to be heard without being judged, shining light in corners of your mind that you’ve dimmed so you can be seen clearly, giving you the freedom to be felt on a soul level.
@veeyeechong Please include a transcript of your statement above so it is accessible to more @veeyeechong. I’m sharing it with the wider OKU advocacy community.
@AzalinaOthmanS Many thanks YB for being the prime driver for this Bill, and for ensuring meaningful engagement with stakeholders. This Bill is a crucial step towards aligning Malaysia to its commitments under the SDGS and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

I am delighted to receive these recommendations for the Children's Commission Bill regarding an Independent Children's Commission from advocates for child rights and civil society organizations.
This case illustrates how civil society is backing the government's legislative efforts, aligning with the "all of society" approach. Safeguarding children's protection and well-being is a shared duty among Malaysians, extending beyond the government.
As we mark 66 years of independence, we must establish our national integrity by championing the rights of every child.The MADANI Government is committed to upholding children's rights and recognises the significance of transparency and an independent oversight body like the Office of the Children’s Commissioner (OCC). By ensuring the safety of our children, we are safeguarding our nation's future.
After various engagements with key stakeholders, knowledge exchange sessions with child commissioners in different jurisdictions, and in-depth research, the Children’s Commission of Malaysia Bill has been drafted in hopes of being brought to Parliament in the October 2023 parliamentary sitting.
I am looking forward to a positive outcome and will continue to engage all stakeholders in ensuring the establishment of an independent OCC that will serve to uphold the rights of all children in Malaysia.

The true shortfall in our education system is staggering - children not attending any school (4.5 percent) or dropping out of school before reaching Form 5 (18 percent).

The above review, based purely on data made available by the Education and Health Ministries, indicates a crisis in our education system: it is far from being inclusive and equitable.
Jangan biar sejarah 13 Mei berulang. Jangan biar "tangan-tangan yang tersembunyi" mainkan semula isu warna, bangsa dan agama sebagai modal politik "untuk bertahan dalam kekuasaan".

(The lesson was: if you’re going to fuck with something bigger and meaner than you, use a quick targeted attack and then run away really fast. (This is the way I always try to operate, too.)
being a bookworm means you love to read, sure, but it's also about having this very detailed daydream about inheriting a large and mysterious gothic estate with a library that has ceiling high bookshelves and sliding ladders.
@JenReadsRomance That’s so bizarre. Is it like when parents hide vegetables in their children’s food? Are we supposed to read these books and discover how much better these are than actual romances???? (Caveat - book lovers is there and that is an actual romance novel - one which is lovely).
