Well, this article is just nonsense.
Let's go over the the biggest issues: 🧵🧵
1. There's no "super-dam". The article repeatedly mentions a mythical super-dam that doesn't exist.
The hydropower project's huge capacity is based on the massive 2000m+ drop between the start and endpoints of the Yarlung Tsangpo's Great Bend, not a super-large dam. That's just how hydropower generation works; it's a function of the river's flow rate + vertical drop, not the size of the reservoir.
Current OSINT analysis suggests the project will use two dam structures, neither "super" sized. One will be no higher than ~20m, shunting water into a ~40km underground diversion tunnel where the powerhouses will be. The other is ~100km upstream and will form the seasonal reservoir.
The upstream dam's exact height isn't published, but is analyzed as somewhere between 90-150m. If it's 150m (I think this is unlikely), it will be tied for the 194th-largest dam in the world. If it's 90m...I have no idea. Not on any top rankings though.
tl;dr: Large power generation capacity ≠ large dam
Grade: F
Malaysians, kita ni Tuhan belum uji lagi dengan bencana alam besar tiap tahun dan sepanjang tahun, gaji guru RM100 yang dibayar 3 bulan sekali dan pemerintah yang abaikan kebajikan dan pendidikan rakyat. Kita belum cukup terdesak. Jadi agak-agaklah bila menghina.
There's no way to ask this without sounding a bit antisemitic but do orthodox Jews think their god is stupid or something? Do they not fear judgement for attempting to circumvent the rules of god with loopholes? This is a genuine question btw
Suvarnabhumi Airport apologizes after Chinese fan incident delays Beijing flight
Suvarnabhumi Airport has apologized after a confrontation between security officers and a group of 22 Chinese passengers went viral on social media. The airport said the group, who were following a Chinese celebrity on a Thai Airways flight to Beijing on July 29, repeatedly entered restricted areas, refused security and boarding procedures, and attempted to follow the artist onto the aircraft, prompting the airline to deny them boarding over safety concerns and causing a flight delay.
While the airport defended the decision to remove the passengers for violating security rules, it acknowledged that some security officers acted inappropriately during the incident. Disciplinary action has been ordered against those involved, and the airport says it will strengthen staff training and oversight to improve security operations while ensuring passengers are treated professionally.

@asrulmm@slainthayer This is true. Off-peak hours, mungkin worth it la naik bas tu. Peak hours sama je or maybe slightly longer due to the traffic dekat the Mines.

Tak perlu tunggu LRT MRT pun untuk adakan kemudahan begini. Even if you live in Banting, Temerloh, or Kuala Pilah sekali pun, boleh je tekan pihak berkuasa untuk sediakan decent pedestrian facilities.
Untuk makluman, pembinaan laluan pejalan kaki yang menghubungkan Stesen LRT Stadium Shah Alam ke AEON Mall di sepanjang Persiaran Sukan, Seksyen 13 sedang giat dilaksanakan dan dijangka akan siap sepenuhnya esok.
Saya dimaklumkan pada hari Selasa ini pihak @sacitycouncil akan meneruskan kerja-kerja pembinaan laluan pejalan kaki ini di sepanjang Persiaran Akuatik pula.
Terima kasih kepada semua pihak yang telah membangkitkan isu ini beberapa hari lalu.
BREAKING material that arrived now to my hands! Corrupt former Malaysian PM Najib Razak’s wife funds a 13M$ mansion purchase for her son-in-law. A few weeks ago, the mansion is transferred to an associate of the royal family, while a pardon request is on their table for the jailed PM. Are the corrupt conducts of Najib continuing from jail?

This is the textbook anatomy of a #xenophobic panic. It takes a completely harmless video and twists it into a conspiracy theory about national security.
Here is how that malicious spin works, contrasted with the actual reality:

Water is a chemical. Salt is a chemical. Vitamin C is a chemical.
The question is not:
“Is it a chemical?”
The question is:
“At what dose is it harmful?”
That’s toxicology. First-year science.
