Mainstream headlines are saying “171 released” but those on the ground know the truth: releases happened slowly, inconsistently and only after hours of unlawful detention despite the magistrate rejecting remand.

This wasn’t a clean process. This was a mass violation of rights.

@shvvani Honestly you should do it cool nonchalance is overrated

[Lim Jack Kin @JackKinLim]

I don't know, if you are more concerned with saying "this is not our culture" because you can't personally relate, maybe you just don't like culture.

[Lim Jack Kin @JackKinLim]

Making rules is not nearly as interesting to me as asking "how do other Malaysians live, eat, and celebrate?" and learning more.

Even if I don't take part in many Malay cultural events, they are beautiful and fascinating to appreciate, and not because "the majority does it".

[arifakib @arifakib1]

@adzizi no it's not Malaysian culture. to be Malaysian culture, it has to be accepted by the majority of Malaysians. drinking alcohol is definitely not accepted by the majority

@sssunitaaa That's the sweetest thing in the world!!

[Lim Jack Kin @JackKinLim]

Can you guess that the OP of this tweet says Malaysia shouldn't have accepted Chinese and Indian people, called Rohingyan refugees gangsters, and is currently directing this post at a Palestinian woman

Malaysian racists loooove co-opting liberal terms with no self awareness

@luxentX If you think that the current procedures are dangerous or more harmful than helpful, then you might be able to see why it would be bad to give the police more opportunities to use them by expanding the range of what is considered illegal.

Powerful story about addiction but I must have missed the part where letting the police search your belongings without a warrant helped you overcome your struggles.

Oh, it's not in there? Then why are we using this story to call PSM stupid for having a very real concern?

Read my lips: get fucked.

Here’s why. I started smoking cigarettes in adulthood. Socially at first and before long it was habitual. A pack every two days on average. This continued for many years.

Transitioned to vapes because I thought it’d be better, but boy was I wrong.

*looks at the immense failure and waste of resources that is the War on Drugs*

"Wow this only made things worse, maybe it'll work if we try it on nicotine next!"

@uuliuu They seemed around my age or older actually! Or maybe being loud in the cinema ages you

[Lim Jack Kin @JackKinLim]

Coming out of my Twitter break to say please go watch Weapons, it was incredible, unless you're that group who sat behind me who commented loudly and talked back to the characters in the movie with trite and annoying comebacks, in which case please never watch another movie again

[Lim Jack Kin @JackKinLim]

I'm so sorry but when a character onscreen says "Did you know that?" and you respond loudly in a childish singsong voice "Nooo 🤭🤭🤭", Harith Iskander is not going to bust into the cinema to invite you on tour with him as Malaysia's next funniest person

[Lim Jack Kin @JackKinLim]

@justcallmejus_ Oh dear ☠️

[Lim Jack Kin @JackKinLim]

@justcallmejus_ Did he... relate to the main character...

I've worked in kkm for 13 years and i think healthcare should be as accessible to as many people as possible

[Lim Jack Kin @JackKinLim]

Why is it that the average Malaysian opinion is always something along the lines of: "Malaysians are bad irresponsible children who need to be punished until they are grateful, except for me, I'm the only smart Malaysian and would never face these issues."

Do you know how the Americans with Disability Act was won in the US? Disabled people occupied federal buildings. One of them was Brad Lomax, a Black Panther who was disabled. And the Panthers supported the sit ins. Watch Crip Camp at least.

The thing that is so deeply admirable about Greta Thunberg is that she possesses this remarkable ability to make people three times her age psychotically, violently mad. And it’s largely because of an unwavering commitment to saving this planet and the people on it.

Bring back skimming!! Skimming is a skill! It sharpens our ability to recognize patterns/synthesize information/streamline our own writing and thought process. Our brains are infinitely better than AI at making sense of complex topics/passages
