Dua benda yang kita kena bangga dengan Petronas minggu ini

1) Petronas berjaya pastikan Malaysia dapat minyak cukup dari Rusia. Bukan setahun tapi 20 Tahun. Presiden Putin beri jaminan benda ni betul

2) Petronas berjaya dapat salah satu telaga gas terbesar dunia di Turkmenistan

Petronas tak pernah Failed to impress Malaysia Alhamdulillah

"For many, the most difficult aspect of the disorder is its invisibility."

[Richard Ker @richardker]

The most dangerous thing about Malaysian businesses right now is not China. It’s our silence.

This morning I was at a summit organised by NEXEA.

Ben Lim, the founder, opened with something that I think scared a lot of people in the room.

And honestly, it should.

China is already here. Mixue. Temu. Luckin Coffee. BYD. They are not coming. They have arrived.

Competing for the same customers you have been serving for years.

But what got me thinking wasn’t the presentation.

It was something I keep seeing everywhere I go.

Ask a successful Malaysian business owners what they have built and they will smile and say:

“I prefer to stay humble. Work quietly.”

I respect that. But humility and invisibility are not the same thing.

I once found a Malaysian food company with an incredible story. Everything was already public. I put it together, shared it and it went viral.

Thousands of Malaysians felt proud.

Then I got a letter of demand. They wanted it taken down.

That told me everything…

1. To founders and business owners: your story doesn’t just build your business. It builds confidence in all of us.

2. To government agencies: share the real stories of the companies you work with. Not just KPIs. (Psst… Your storytelling needs a lot of help).

3. To corporates: stop looking overseas first.

The solution you need might already exist here. Find local companies. Believe in them. Give them the chance before you give it to someone else.

4. To everyday Malaysians: if you see an inspiring local business, share it. It costs nothing.

Our humility is beautiful. But while we stay quiet, they are getting louder.

By the time we decide to speak up, it might already be too late.

Do we want that to happen?

Norway is reversing its mistaken 2016 decision to give every student an iPad, which damaged education immediately. Many countries are going back to books and handwriting. I hope many American schools will go back to analog next September, and let's see if that works for us too:

Menurut Imam As-Syafie, tanda seseorang itu mulia jiwa ada 3:

1. Selalu rahsiakan kesusahan sampai orang sangka dia selalu senang.

2. Selalu rahsiakan kemarahan sampai orang sangka dia selalu redha.

3. Selalu rahsiakan penderitaan sampai orang sangka hidupnya penuh nikmat.

We are in a reading crisis.

People have access to more books than any point in history, but are reading less than ever.

Here are 10 concerning charts about the state of reading:

1) The number of people who read on any given day has been falling since 2004

@khalidkarim No good. Later many parents kiasu!

They should’ve just label them among the leadership team. Without publicise it.

The best thing anyone can do while in the road is act predictably

[hofiooo @byt3size]

That’s untrue or should I say it’s a lie?

[hofiooo @byt3size]

Brain and eyes are cloudy? Telling lies in front of the person who knows the truth and has experienced it himself.

Another level of difficulty I had to swallow.

…maybe the lies are just calm before the true storm. Revisit this later for confirmation.

As always, being late is your thing.

Aku baru tau certain car brand (or maybe all brands), particularly yang semalam aku sembang dengan SA. They offer deliver the car wherever you stay, so you can test drive on your daily route and see what it’s like to own it.

A serious step taken. I’ve officially lodged!

My time will come. I’m a firm believer that when it does - no mercy, I must!
