Malaysia wants to become a regional hub for AI & data centres. A data centre can use up to 25.5 million tonnes of water annually. This amount can support 300,000 people every single day.
Nothing can replace our freshwater ecosystems once they are destroyed & drained.
I’m a family doctor, and I join the call by @drtlaleng in demanding the release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya who remains in Israeli captivity for over a year. He has been subjected to severe torture. Our medical colleagues have been targeted for doing their jobs - release them all!
Israel killed 3 Indonesian UN peacekeepers in South Lebanon.
They were wearing blue helmets.
They were in UN uniforms.
They were peacekeepers.
Israel bombed them anyway.
Not a peep in Western media.
Not a word from the international community.
Kick Israel out of the UN.
Al-Quran sama sekali tidak menyalahkan wanita sebagai sebab manusia terkeluar dari syurga.
Naratif yang menyalahkan wanita ialah riwayat yang dicedok daripada sumber-sumber bukan Islam.
Bahkan riwayat ini bercanggah dengan al-Quran.
Everyone felt sad for the penguin walking alone and the monkey rejected by his mother. But this video is far more heartbreaking, yet it didn’t receive the same attention.
Palestine today.
5 people dead due to hypothermia.
Hypothermia caused by Israel blocking all live saving supplies from entering.
Just a few miles away, on the other side of seized lands, military walls and tanks, Israeli kids eat fast food and play in swimming pools.
Tbh, I dont think rapists should be allowed back into society at all. They tend repeat the same crime again and we don't even have a public registry of sexual offenders so how do we even avoid them?
Sick perverted minds are everywhere. Remember the FB group that was taken down in June this year?
Did anyone get caught? The admins? The followers? (READ:PAEDOPHILES)
The group vanished but All it's 12,000 followers walked away UNTOUCHED.
Ini Barah.
Semoga siapa yang view / download video jenayah tu polis kejar sekor ekor and charge bawah possession of child pornography.
Just so you know, they are capable of that.

[Reflections] Not getting into Universiti Malaya is not the end of the world. It has always been competitive, even back in 2006 when I completed my STPM.
This is a long post, please be patient with me.
I did not manage a perfect CGPA of 4.00, but I was satisfied with 3.42.
•General Paper (Pengajian Am): A
•Biology: B+
•Chemistry: B+
•Pure Mathematics: B
In SPM 2004, I scored 10As (7A1, 3A2). I applied for every major scholarship available at the time, yet received no reply. Why? Because I made mistakes in my applications and did not optimise my chances. Information was limited then, and I simply did not know better.
I was offered places at UNITEN and MMU for engineering, but I declined. My parents could not afford to support another child studying in West Malaysia while my brother was already in UPM. Form 6 and STPM became my only path, since I was not offered matriculation or foundation programmes.
At that time, I felt deeply disappointed. But looking back now, it was a valuable lesson.
After STPM, I applied more carefully, determined not to repeat the mistakes I made after SPM. With my CGPA, I had more choices and kept an open mind. Out of eight programme options, I was offered my preferred choice: Bachelor of Nursing (Honours) at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). Coincidentally, it was in my hometown, at the same university and programme where my mother worked as a clinical instructor. Sometimes, God arranges things in ways we cannot immediately understand.
I began my studies with a PTPTN loan, but later managed to secure a JPA scholarship after working hard to make the Dean’s List. That support carried me through all four years at UNIMAS, and it was truly a blessing.
I knew then that entering prestigious universities such as Universiti Sains Malaysia or Universiti Malaya as an undergraduate was unlikely. These institutions were highly competitive, as they still are today. Yet the journey I took brought me to where I am now. Since graduating from UNIMAS in 2011, I have no regrets. The experiences, challenges, and people I met shaped me into who I am today.
In Malay, we call this rezeki, or blessings from above. When one door closes, another will open, provided we are willing to create new paths and step forward ourselves.
There is a Malay proverb that stays with me:
“Ukur baju pada badan sendiri, hendak seribu daya, tak hendak seribu dalih.”
Knowing your own limits, being humble, and persevering with effort are all important. Life is not always fair and there will be discrimination and setbacks, but that should not stop us from seeking other options or creating our own opportunities.
In October 2021, I finally entered Universiti Malaya to pursue a Master’s in Public Policy, the university I had dreamed of since my undergraduate days. I graduated in 2022 while still working at the EU, 11 years after my bachelor’s in 2011.
Now, as I prepare for my next chapter, I remind myself of a phrase I learned from my Muslim friends: “Wallahu A’lam” — God knows best. But faith alone is not enough. We must put in effort, remain open to opportunities, and keep moving forward.
Looking back, every rejection, every closed door, and every disappointment turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Life is not about where you begin, but about the resilience and choices that carry you forward.
