@Boldyboy1975 He got in but he is going to get stuck coming out the other side.

@aidilarazak We like to think we are a caring society but we deny refugee children an education even though they are here through no fault of their own under circumstances which they do not control. Make the world a better place. Treat people like human beings.

The kampung’s name is, literally, Bunian.

Elderly woman Nathiah Selamat, 77, who went missing for three days in Kampung Seri Bunian here, was found safe at 10.50am yesterday.

@ahchoen 5 years ago my weekly grocery bill was rarely above RM250. Now it’s rarely below RM400. Still buy the same stuff.

[Doomer @krug88]

Maybe we need to consider this.

If there's a water shortage, don't subsidize showers. If there's a blackout, don't make AC cheaper. If there's an oil shortage, don't cut gas taxes. High prices are the signal telling us to conserve — blunting that signal makes the problem worse.

@jakozloski How did they assign an attractiveness score? Or was it self reported 🤔

@FreeMsian If it’s publicly owned land why are the GLC’s selling it.

@guttapercha80 The owners are rich or a re politicians and the drivers think they can do what they like because boss “Ada Jalan”.

@FreeMsian The car tax system is not transparent. There should be transparency and should be applied across the board. Having each manufacturer discuss with MITI can give rise to corruption.

[Doomer @krug88]

@FreeMsian A car is a necessity and for some generations it’s something we aspire to. Make cars cheap but tax their use instead. This way you can have your car but it’s cheaper to use public transport because petrol, toll, congestion fee toll and parking is expensive.

@Her_Nonymous_D Red flag. Dump him.

I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly."

The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal.

When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience."

Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable.

When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates.

I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped.

The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault."

I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology."

Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident.

Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize."

I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time."

They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again."

I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes.

To give out that $6.9 million no-bid contract, the Trump administration invoked an exemption meant for urgent situations, The New York Times found. The exemption was supposed to be used only to prevent “serious injury, financial or other, to the government.”

[Doomer @krug88]

This is how all governments works.
NYTIMES: This spring, President Trump said he decided to paint the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool blue, and steered a government contract to somebody he said had worked on his swimming pools.
