In "You're not speaking my language", @DianeCoyle1859 & @adammuhtar_ use text analysis evidence to show a startling lack of coordination in govt policy, with a special focus on #LevellingUp

New research by @DianeCoyle1859 & @adammuhtar_ explores the policy discontinuity & coordination gaps between the govt's national economic strategies & place-based policies, inc. the #LevellingUpWhitePaper, using text analysis to find a lack of consistency.

It’s disheartening that the Ambassador of #Ukraine to Malaysia had to ask for the Prime Minister of Malaysia to come out with a clearer stance on the #UkraineRussiaConflict during his interview on the #BFM Breakfast Grille

[Bennett Institute for Public Policy @BennettInst]

This is not the 1st time the Govt has announced ambitious strategies, only for them to be scrapped a few years later.
@adammuhtar_ & @DianeCoyle1859 compare the consistency of the new #levellingupwhitepaper with existing Govt economic strategy documents. https://t.co/P0WH2thg69

@todoist I've always had a problem with consistency and sticking to things (no thanks to my neurodivergent brain), so I'm really proud of the fact that my weekly streak was as long as it was! Motivates me to do better this year 💪🏼 also being in the top 5% is pretty cool ngl

Back at newsletter writing after a hiatus! I've revamped it slightly and added a new section on causes worth caring about.

Here's what subscribers received this week: “FF: 2021 Annual Review, the Cambridge vaccine and nerdy memes (lots of them) 🤓” https://t.co/D4SNtASikY

Bringing this thread back because some Malaysians seem to have short memories... #MigranJugaManusia

[Emmelynn | Amaline @emmelynnamal]

I am starting a thread of stories where Non-Malaysian (migrant workers, refugees, asylum seekers, stateless etc) helped saved Malaysians

This is a thread 🧵

RT please!

Last comment on this. We should be talking about systemic oppression, injustice, lack of protection, no access to basic human rights. Instead, we are back to “nyah kau ambik la budak Rohingya ni balik rumah”. Once you’re ready for intelligent discussion and debate, I’ll be here.
