Johor enters El Niño as most water-stressed state. 4 dams at lower levels than last year and are at or near critical. Early prep needed to avoid water crisis if dry spell persists. Next vulnerable is Kedah.

@Thevesh @sumdekjoe Raise constitutional amendment threshold to 3/4 (75%). That solves West Malaysia being able to unilaterally amend the constitution without the seats headache.

Tabung Haji RCI report is in image format. To spare journos the pain, I converted 252 pages into OCR text. Download at: https://t.co/8RMUDrbY8O

Give to AI to ask Qs. Always fact check. If you find something interesting, ask for page number and compare to the official report.

@theo Opus 5 is now as autistic as 5.6 Sol. Likes to tunnel vision, over-engineer and curve fit solutions. Speaks like machine. Keep stating mistakes it made but don't learn from them. It's more capable but seems to have lost the wisdom and nuances Opus 4.8 has.

@OfficialLoganK 2.5-flash-lite was US$0.40/mil, 3.1 flash lite was US$1.50/mil and now 3.5-flash-lite is US$2.50/mil. The price creep has reached a point where it now makes more sense to consider Deepseek or similar and cheaper models.

This did not age well when 2 days later, Moonshot AI released the open-weights Kimi K3 that achieved parity with US frontier labs.

Chinese officials present open-source AI technologies as a gift to the world. In reality, openness is a logical strategy for laggards https://t.co/qxDvkgGTAr

The good work of @Thevesh at https://t.co/0gDgXFyPcS makes inforgraphics like this possible.

Some analyses say PH support stable while PN's collapse helped BN. Technically true for 2022 vs 2026.

But PH support is down from GE15. Important because N9 baseline is post-GE15.

After almost 4 years of hard work, I'm very happy to share something which I hope will be a game-changer for election data in Malaysia:

https://t.co/hW0OIDm594

To cut a (very) long story short, the site gives you access to Malaysia's COMPLETE electoral history. Every election, every candidate, every party, every seat - all there at your fingertips.

There are 5 types of datasets available:
• Parlimen/DUN-level results (the 'official' results, covering every single election since 1955)
• Parlimen/DUN-level maps (covering every single boundary-drawing exercise since 1954)
• Anonymised individual-level voter rolls for GE-13, GE-14, and GE-15, as well as Johor 2022 and N9 2023 (more to come soon)
• Saluran (!!!!) level results for GE-13, GE-14, and GE-15, as well as Johor 2022 and N9 2023 (also more to come soon)
• DM-level maps for the latest set (versions going back to 2003 will follow eventually)

Enjoy!

Data-cleaning and curation is bitter work, but once it's done once, everyone can reap the benefits.
