MITI has denied claims that all electric vehicles will become unaffordable after tax exemptions for fully imported EVs end in July.

Deputy Minister Sim Tze Tzin said only premium fully imported models will be affected by higher prices, while locally assembled EVs in the RM100,000 to RM200,000 range will remain affordable.

Today I Learned: Where YB donations actually come from

I saw a viral Adam Adli salary information being shared.

The numbers are eye-catching: roughly RM 36,000 a month, made up of his base MP allowance, a ministerial salary, plus entertainment, handphone, computer, and dress allowances.

Total earned to date, over a million ringgit since he was sworn into cabinet.

Fair enough. But it got me thinking about something else.

Every residents association I know has asked their YB for donations. Every surau committee, every PIBG, every Hari Raya open house, every flood relief drive. And the YBs usually say yes. RM 500 here, RM 3,000 there.

So where does that money actually come from?

Here comes "Peruntukan MP".

It's a separate pool of government money administered by the Prime Minister's Department, specifically meant for constituency work: donations, community events, small infrastructure, flood aid, festive contributions.

The numbers are public record, if you dig.

Under Najib, it ranged from RM 5 to 10 million per BN MP. Under Pakatan Harapan in 2019-2020, it settled at around RM 3.5 million.

Ismail Sabri equalised it at RM 3.8 million for all MPs including opposition via an MOU in 2021.

Anwar cut it to RM 1.3 million in early 2023 as an austerity measure, then reports say it climbed back up to around RM 4.1 million for government MPs in 2024, including an extra RM 2 million for Projek Mesra Rakyat.

Here's the part that's worth paying attention to:

Opposition MPs have historically received little to nothing from this allocation.

In July 2024, Muar MP Syed Saddiq ran 200km from Muar to Parliament to protest exactly this. Six Bersatu MPs later defected to support the Anwar government, (allegedly) in exchange for allocations.

Anwar has said he agrees "in principle" to equal allocations but wants opposition MPs to "negotiate" first.

There is no centralised public record showing how each MP spent their allocation.

You can find attendance data buried in Hansard archives if you work at it, but try finding an itemised breakdown of where their constituency fund went last year. IDEAS, Bersih, and Aliran have been calling for a Constituency Development Fund Act for years. None has been passed.

The more interesting question isn't "how much does Adam Adli earn." It's "how much constituency allocation does Hang Tuah Jaya receive, and where did it go?" That applies to every MP, government or opposition.

So the next time you see a viral post outraged about an MP's salary, remember: that's actually the smaller pool. The bigger pool is the one nobody is posting infographics about.

TIL the real money in Malaysian constituency politics isn't the salary. It's the allocation. And almost none of it is publicly accounted for.

After a certain age, your parents slowly become your children. They ask simple questions, repeat stories, and depend on your patience the way you once depended on theirs. Very few understand this role reversal.What looks like innocence or inconvenience is really time coming full circle. Don't correct them harshly. Don't rush them. Care for them the way they once protected you. This is not a burden. It is repayment.

This study changed my life. People call me lucky but I'm just tenacious, shameless, sociable, restless, and OK with rejection. Life is a numbers game. Shoot 100 shots and you'll score some. People will say it's luck. It's not. It's creating more opportunities for success 🤷🏻‍♀️

James Chai menafikan dakwaan bahawa beliau terlibat dalam sebarang salah guna kuasa atau penyelewengan berkaitan kerjasama kerajaan Malaysia dengan Arm Limited. Menurut beliau, peranannya ketika di Kementerian Ekonomi hanyalah sebagai pegawai khas dasar yang membantu menyediakan kertas cadangan dan berhubung dengan pelbagai pihak sebelum keputusan dibuat oleh kabinet dan kerajaan.

Selepas beliau dan pasukan Rafizi Ramli meletakkan jawatan, beliau membantu Arm Limited selama kira-kira dua bulan bagi memastikan proses peralihan projek berjalan lancar kerana syarikat itu masih belum mempunyai rangkaian operasi di Asia Tenggara. Beliau menegaskan bahawa beliau tidak pernah mempengaruhi keputusan kerajaan atau memperoleh sebarang manfaat daripada projek tersebut.

Dalam masa yang sama, beliau mempersoalkan tindakan SPRM yang mengeluarkan notis pencarian awam dan sidang media, yang menurutnya memberi gambaran seolah-olah beliau melarikan diri daripada siasatan.

Kesimpulannya, kenyataan ini cuba membawa naratif bahawa beliau hanyalah pegawai yang menjalankan tugas profesional, namun kini digambarkan sebagai suspek utama. Pada masa yang sama, beliau memberi bayangan bahawa tindakan pihak berkuasa dan kempen di media sosial mungkin sedang membentuk persepsi awam bahawa beliau adalah “Jho Low 2.0”, walaupun beliau menafikan sebarang salah laku.

I can predict once the Russia-Ukraine peace deal is done, Trump will go after Venezuela hard with sanctions and try take out Maduro. If everything fails, a false flag and direct bombing-invasion will happen. Why will the US do it? The answer is below for you. Gn.

Seeing people defend 9-year car loans so aggressively makes you think.

When affordability collapses, long-term debt looks like lifestyle and the only option.

If nothing changes, a 15-year car loan will be the next “upgrade”.

I don’t think these new viruses are originating specifically from China. I think they just announce them earlier because they have better screening methods so they catch and treat them earlier.
