To food manufacturers, please stop fooling consumers with “zero added sugar”, “sugar free” bullshit if the primary ingredient is glucose syrup! Please lah. Imagine if diabetic ppl buy these thinking it’s truly sugar free. Ur basically killing them!

Mengapa tariff dilarang di Selat Malaka? Prof Hasjim Djalal pernah bercerita sejarahnya:
1. UNCLOS lahirkan rejim baru yakni transit passage sebagai salah satu produk komporomi (package-deal). Dulu lebar laut teritorial hanya 3 Nm sehingga Selat Malaka masih berstatus laut bebas.

This chapter dropped a very strong hint, and this is where you realize the greatness of translation and quality because most One Piece fans completely overlooked this.

There is a striking similarity between two words:

覇気 = Haki
魔気 = Maki

Unfortunately, Maki was translated as Omen, or a sinister foreboding. While that isn’t technically a linguistic mistake, since many English translators relied on standard meaning!

It arguably erased one of «Oda’s terrifying wordplays», something likely only native Japanese speakers would fully catch.

Because there is a powerful parallel between the two words:

覇 (Ha) = dominance, supremacy, overwhelming power (in a positive sense)
魔 (Ma) = demonic aura, darkness, cursed or ominous force
And both share 気 (Ki) = spiritual energy, life force

What if Haki was something Joy Boy developed as a counterforce against Imu’s Maki?

That would explain how Joy Boy’s Haki was able to repel the Gorosei, wound Imu, and even make her gasp under the pressure of his Haki during the Egghead Arc.

What if Joy Boy spread Haki among humans so they could resist not only Devil Fruit powers, but also Imu’s demonic abilities?

And what if the highest form of Haki “Conqueror’s Haki” belongs only to certain bloodlines and races…

…and that is why Imu seeks to purge them from the earth through extermination, in order to create his own world?

Iran hit US bases in Iraq. Hit bases in Kuwait. Hit bases in Qatar. Hit bases in Bahrain. Hit bases in the UAE. Hit bases in Jordan. Hit bases in Saudi Arabia. Hit Oman’s Duqm port. Hit British RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. Fired missiles at Israel.

It did not touch Turkey.

Incirlik Air Base, one of America’s most important forward platforms in the Middle East, sits in southern Turkey. Kürecik base houses a NATO radar that feeds intelligence to Israel. NATO AWACS aircraft from the Konya base shifted routes from Russia to Iran days before the strikes, per Bloomberg. Turkey hosts an unspecified number of US troops across multiple sensitive installations.

Iran hit none of them.

The standard explanation is NATO. Article 5 collective defense. Striking Turkey means war with 32 nations. Al-Monitor quoted Ankara University’s Arif Keskin: a direct military move against Turkey could push the conflict beyond manageable limits.

That explanation is real but incomplete.

Reuters reported in January 2026 that Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization, the MIT, warned Iran’s Revolutionary Guards about Kurdish fighters seeking to cross from Iraq into Iranian territory. That is a NATO member passing time-sensitive operational intelligence to the IRGC during a period when the United States and Israel were preparing to strike Iran.

In January 2026, Erdogan congratulated Iranian President Pezeshkian for his handling of the December protests, echoing Tehran’s narrative that the demonstrations were foreign-backed terrorist plots linked to Israel. The Foundation for Defense of Democracies documented this. When the strikes came on February 28, Erdogan condemned the US and Israeli attacks as a clear violation of international law, expressed deep sorrow for Khamenei’s death, and offered condolences to the Iranian people. He denied US forces access to Turkish air, land, and maritime space for operations against Iran.

Then Turkey arrested three journalists for national security offenses over footage filmed near Incirlik.

Israel Hayom published the most direct assessment: Turkey is not neutral. It is enabling Iran. Operating from within the Western security system, Ankara functions as a strategic enabler for Tehran. The US Treasury has sanctioned Turkey-based entities tied to Iranian sanctions evasion, the Revolutionary Guards, and Iran’s drone and missile programs.

The deeper mechanism is structural fear. Turkey shares a 534-kilometer border with Iran. Fifteen million Kurds live inside Iran. If the Islamic Republic collapses, Turkey faces a refugee crisis dwarfing Syria, Kurdish state formation across its southeastern border, and the loss of gas contracts expiring mid-2026. Erdogan does not need Iran to win. He needs the regime to survive.

So Iran spares Turkey. And Turkey condemns the war while hosting the surveillance infrastructure that enabled it.

To Washington, the indispensable NATO platform. To Europe, the migration buffer. To Russia, the energy corridor. To China, the western anchor of the Middle Corridor. To Tehran, the quiet ally who will never let the regime fall.

The most dangerous player in this war is not the one firing missiles. It is the one that made itself untouchable by everyone simultaneously.

[Ken Cao-The China Crash Chronicle @KenCao_onChina]

If China wants a real “multipolar world,” it needs a serious yuan-based financial system.

But Chinese banks are scared to death to take risks - too hooked on dollar assets to move fast.

You can’t dethrone the dollar while hiding behind it.

Even Moscow is frustrated with Beijing’s slow-motion de-dollarization.

Building an alternative to the USD takes more than slogans.

Right now, the yuan system is crawling at snail speed.

Activist: "When it rains I get wet."
Farmer: "Only if the total amount of water is increasing"
Activist: "What?"
Farmer: "Rain is part of a water cycle. Every water molecular in every raindrop eventually end up back in the clouds via evaporation. Round and round."
Activist: "That's not how it works."
Farmer: "That's exactly how it works. Rain falling from the sky cannot make you wet because it eventually ends up back in the sky."
Activist: "I've never heard of that."
Farmer: "Because admitting that rain doesn't make you wet doesn't sell umbrellas."
Activist: "You're making this up."
Farmer: "Published research. Look up 'hydrologic cycle'. And take off that stupid raincoat."

Activist: "But it's still emissions..."
Farmer: "It's a cycle. Carbon goes: grass to cow to methane to CO2 to grass. Round and round."
Activist: "That's not how it works."
Farmer: "That's exactly how the biogenic carbon cycle works."
Activist: "I've never heard of that."
Farmer: "Because admitting ruminants are climate neutral doesn't sell plant-based products."
Activist: "You're making this up."

1. In ex-PM Najib’s case, the court has decided, the appeals will be next heard, and there’s nothing much more to be said on that. The legal process is being carried out in the usual way.

2. But everyone feels something is off.

3. Criminal justice must be evenly handed out, the law must be equally applied. People know this isn’t happening.

4. Najib goes to jail - but those high-up in the Sabah govt, political allies of the Madani govt, caught on video taking bribes - are still free as a bird.

5. And Zahid Hamidi, chief ally of PMX - without whose support the Madani govt will fall- his corruption case was dropped - just like that. After his tough prosecutor Raja Rozela Raja Toran was mysteriously dropped as well.

6. And the MACC very quickly & publicly announced that there’s no case against a former close political aide of PMX who is now very big in the business world. How kind of them to move so rapidly to clear his name.

7. In contrast, some others are pursued relentlessly by MACC. Maybe they are guilty, maybe not. But the double standards are blatant.

8. So, I am NOT celebrating.
Because an ex-PM may be convicted, but we still do not have a fair, impartial, transparent criminal justice system that can inspire confidence among the people here and globally.
Will we ever?
