I like @andyburnham so far.
He has, to my surprise, made some good calls.
The question is where the money for these policies will come from…
If he gets the budget right (UK needs a budget that has social capitalism as its backbone & does not discourage wealth creation), he will have my support.
Efishery had credible institutional backing which was one of the reasons KWAP came on board.
The company also attracted Temasek and other prominent investors with support from major financial institutions including Goldman Sachs and at one point achieved a valuation of over US$1 billion.
It was a business with genuine potential, but poor governance ultimately derailed it.
"Even when pushed into a corner and faced with what seems like no hope, one should never abandon one's principles, integrity or dignity for an easy way out."
Well said @SyedSaddiq
In a 2-1 majority, the Federal Court has acquitted & released Syed Saddiq from all criminal charges.
This is the apex court. There are no more appeals.
Safe to say - Syed Saddiq will walk a free man today.
We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas
I welcome the understanding reached between the United States and Iran towards ending hostilities, and the announcement that a memorandum of understanding will be signed in the coming days. I commend the mediation efforts that brought the parties to this point, especially those undertaken by Pakistan.
The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping must now be treated as a matter of the highest urgency. The strait is a critical artery for global energy security and international trade. Prolonged disruption would serve no one.
Malaysia urges all parties to act in good faith, proceed without delay and translate this understanding into a durable peace settlement. At this delicate moment, all parties and external actors must refrain from any action that could derail diplomacy and renew hostilities.
Malaysia stands ready to support efforts towards a just and lasting peace, and calls on the international community to sustain this momentum.

@elonmusk has spent much of his life picking the finest fruit from the tree of capitalism.
His net worth is almost unimaginable - though much of it exists on paper rather than in cash.
What interests me isn’t the money.
It’s intellect.
The ability to look at industries that have existed for decades, identify something everyone else has missed and then act on it at a scale most people would never dare attempt.
Money is often mistaken for the achievement.
George Lucas staring at a practical, life-sized version of General Grievous on his Wheel Bike from Revenge of the Sith might just be one of the hardest images that I’ve ever seen tbh
