Everyone is hunting for the next semiconductor winner.
But Penang, Malaysia quietly packages 23% of every American-bound chip and runs 15% of the global OSAT and test market.

If you’re 27–29 right now and feel like your life is a mess or you’re already anxious about turning 30, please take a deep breath.
You’ve only been an actual adult for about 6–8 years.
That’s not even a full decade of real-world experience.
The first 18–22 years of your life were mostly spent in school, following someone else’s schedule, rules, and goals.
You were learning how to learn, not necessarily how to run a life.
After serving the Cardano ecosystem since 2021 and sharing an incredible journey with thousands along the way, we’ve reached a point where the JPG Store & Comet platforms have to be sunset.
While we deeply value the people who have supported us, the platforms have reached a stage where they are no longer sustainable to operate.
JPG Store & Comet will continue to be online until the 23rd of May. After which, the website will be shut down, though the smart contracts will continue to live on.

If you want a rare life, you have to be delusional. Doubt can enter your mind, and it can sound reasonable, but if you entertain it too much it will slowly drag you down into stagnation. I'd rather reap the lesson from massive failure than do nothing because it's not "realistic."
If you're in your 20s and thinking about taking a leap to change your life, realize there's really no risk.
You're already basically starting from zero. There's nothing to actually lose except your own pride and ego.
And what is the worst-case scenario if it doesn't work out?
You move back home? You go back to your job? You work as a waiter to pay bills while you continue to go after your potential? You volunteer at a hostel in a foreign country while living a free life?
The worst-case scenario is probably not as bad as you think. It is just your ego that is scared of perceived "failure."
If you can come to peace with the "worst-case scenario," you are free to make moves that catapult you into an entirely new timeline — because now — you fear nothing.
The older you get, the more you realize luck is mostly exposure.
If you sit in the same place, have the same routine, talking to the same people, nothing new really happens.
You have to tackle the world to win.
Travel more. Talk to people. Try a breakfast spot. Post on social media. Start a side hustle or a hobby.
The world rewards motion. You don't find opportunity sitting still.
@Lush_Beauty1 Yea but unfortunately in today’s world you have to actively put yourself out there for exposure and opportunities especially if you run a brand or business.
27 is the age when you can’t run from yourself anymore.
You start noticing your habits, wrong choices, and time wasted. Slowly, you realise some of your struggles aren’t just bad luck but they’re from repeated mistakes. It feels heavy, but this is where real growth starts.
In this phase, excuses don’t work. You cut distractions, rethink friendships, and take full responsibility for your life. It’s uncomfortable and slow, but every small step builds self-respect.
A designer has claimed his firm was not paid or credited for their two-year work developing the concept, narrative, and architectural direction of the Malaysia Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka.
"We shouldn't have to beg to be paid for work that was done, used, and publicly presented," Fey Ilyas said.
