Not sure what tree this is along P Ramlee, but it is tall, slender, straight, and gives a good shade. Unlikely to murder people if it breaks in a storm. We should plant this everywhere.

How does poor bus stop design in Kuala Lumpur negatively affect the bus user.. and creates bad stigma for buses?

Here's @ErnestOnPT giving an on-site lecture on this!

2 things noted:
1) How far the bus stop is away from the roadside
2) How buses stop far away from the curb

i honestly think the most beautiful kind of love is when someone is sure about you, no mixed signals, no confusion, just consistency, effort, and a feeling that they truly want you in their life.

Malaysia will soon change how car loans and other hire-purchase financing are calculated.

The law will take effect on June 1, with a transition period for lenders to upgrade their systems.

Swipe to see the five key changes and what they mean for borrowers.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.

May God bless America.

The MacBook Neo is kind of like the iPhone mini. The same folks praising it all over social media are the ones who would never trade in their Pro for it. It’s clearly the best $600 laptop on the market - but few are going to switch away from the high-end. It’s about new buyers.

Believe it or not, playful touch like squeezing your partner’s butt isn’t just fun—it can actually be good for your health. Physical touch stimulates the release of oxytocin, often called the “love hormone,” which helps reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and promote feelings of closeness and happiness. These hormonal benefits positively impact both mental and physical wellbeing.

Regular affectionate interactions, including playful or intimate gestures, also help strengthen emotional bonds. Feeling connected to your partner not only improves relationship satisfaction but has real physiological effects, supporting heart health, reducing inflammation, and boosting immune function over time.

Experts emphasise that these small acts of touch are a natural way to encourage emotional intimacy while promoting overall wellness. Incorporating playful physical affection into your relationship is a simple, fun, and scientifically supported way to improve your mood, strengthen your bond, and support your long-term health.
