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?

Your parents stopped buying things for themselves years ago. Not because they couldn't afford it. But because every time they had extra money, they thought of you first. They wear the same clothes. Use the same phone. Eat simpler meals. While making sure you never felt like you went without. Most of us noticed too late. Some of us never noticed at all.

Pewdiepie reveals how to break free from the algorithm

“A lot of this is going to sound crazy but you’ve gotta hear me out, it’s a step by step process. I’m not saying you should do all of it but you should try some of it”

“Step 1 is creating friction. I put all social media and attention hungry apps in a second profile and I can’t understate how much this changed my life. Those 5-6 seconds it takes to switch profiles stops me every time and makes me think, is this what I want to be doing?”

“The second thing I did was self hosting. The effect that had on me is I’m not the product anymore. The things I use are mine and because they’re not free, I’m not paying with my privacy. I think the main difference is ads and news don’t reach me”

“Next thing I did was disable Shorts, I like YouTube but I hate how Shorts is everywhere I can’t escape it”

“Then I unfollowed everyone. You don’t have to do this, this is definitely a me thing, I just got really fed up”

“Next, get a DNS blocker. You can remove ads completely, most of it won’t even reach your device”

“I think you owe it to yourself to take some time today and start building your tech fence”

“These tech companies don’t care about you, so you’ve got to care about yourself. The cheat code is building some friction and filtering out the noise, that’s your defence and your cure”

In 1988, the US warship USS Vincennes shot down Iran Air Flight 665 with two surface to air missiles, killing all 290 passengers on board.

The US refused to issue an official apology or acknowledged wrongdoing, and official investigations were treated as an afterthought…

Just in case you thought that the regime change campaign against Iran is because Washington cares about the lives and wellbeing of the Iranian people, instead of an attempt to bring Iran’s vast natural resources under its control.
