Seseorang berkata kepada al-Hasan al-Basri: โApakah salah seorang daripada kita tidak merasa malu kepada Tuhan-Nya. Dia memohon ampun terhadap dosanya kemudian dia mengulangi lagi, memohon ampun kemudian mengulangi lagi?โ
Nak tau apa jawapan al-Hasan al-Basri?

Saw this BNM warning poster at a bank branch this week.
"Jangan terima wang kertas berdakwat. Wang kertas berdakwat mungkin telah dicuri."
Translation: don't accept ink-stained notes, they may have been stolen.
I always thought stained notes were just someone smearing ink on the notes or some printing defect. Turns out it is anti-theft technology built right into the ATM.
BNM uses ink-stained technology (https://t.co/MIVFuhiwdS). Dye packs are placed inside the cash bundles in ATMs and cash-in-transit bags.
If someone tampers with the machine or the bag, the pack activates and releases indelible ink that stains every note in the bundle.
BNM formalised the guideline in August 2020, asking financial institutions and cash-in-transit companies to deploy as a deterrent against ATM robberies. The ink is reportedly non-toxic to humans.
Here is the clever part.
Cash deposit machines are programmed to detect and reject stained notes. Bank branches are instructed not to accept them either. Anyone trying to deposit one may be tracked down for questioning.
The note is functionally worthless the moment it is stained. You cannot spend it, deposit it, or exchange it without potentially being investigated.
The deeper logic is elegant. The thief can still break the ATM open. But the cash inside becomes useless the second they touch it.
The robbery is no longer worth attempting.
Time to check your wallet if you have any such bank notes.
Kita tak guna minyak yang kita gali untuk kegunaan tempatan adik oi.
Jangan la terpaling politik walhal cara kita jual beli minyak pun tak reti reti.
Malaysia produces one of th lightest and sweetest crude oil in the world, Tapis level dia panggil.
Minyak mentah kategori ini paling dicari oleh loji penapis minyak dunia sebab mudah, bersih dan cepat untuk ditapis jadi petrol, diesel dan paling penting, aviation gas atau minyak kapal terbang.
Jadi kita jual minyak mentah kita ke pasaran luar dengan harga tinggi.
Untuk penggunaan dalam negara, kita import minyak mentah kualiti yang biasa dari Saudi untuk ditapis jadi minyak petrol, diesel dan sebagainya bagi penggunaan harian.
Gitu la secara ringkas. Ini sumber duit negara yang digunakan untuk pembangunan seluruh negara dan rakyat.
My favorite part about writing is that first spark of an idea. It can happen at any time, for any reason. The idea for the Opalite music video crash landed into my imagination when I was doing promo for The Life of a Showgirl. I was a guest on one of my favorite shows, @TheGNShow. For those of you who arenโt familiar, itโs a UK late night show where Graham Norton (the insanely charismatic and lovable host) invites a random group of actors, entertainers, musicians, etc to be on his show and we all sit there and chat like itโs a dinner party. They even serve wine. Anyway. I remember thinking I got ridiculously lucky with the group I was paired with. Cillian Murphy, Domhnall Gleeson, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, and @LewisCapaldi. All people whose work Iโve admired from afar. When we were all talking during the broadcast, Domhnall made a light hearted joke about wanting to be in one of my music videos. Heโs Irish! He was joking! Except that in that moment during the interview, I was instantly struck with an *idea*. And so a week later he received an email script Iโd written for the Opalite video, where he was playing the starring role. I had this thought that it would be wild if all of our fellow guests on the Graham Norton show that night, including Graham himself, could be a part of it too. Like a school group project but for adults and it isnโt mandatory. To my delight, everyone from the show made the effort to time travel back to the 90โs with us and help with this video. You might even recognize some friendly faces from The Eras Tour. I got to work with one of my favorite people in the world, Rodrigo Prieto, again! I had more fun than I ever imagined - Made new friends, metaphors, and fashion choices. It was an absolute thrill to create this story and these characters. Shot on film. The Opalite video is out now on Spotify & Apple Music.

Being in the studio and creating these songs was an unforgettable experience, but luckily I donโt ever have to forget it because I was recording while we were writing - and now itโs a way to look back on the process and give you guys a glimpse into how we wrote these songs, and hear the moments we thought of these ideas in real time.
