Best juga rupanya lahir with a silver spoon.
Semua jadi mudah sebab duit dan serba serbi ada.
Was talking to a rich friend. He was talking about motivation and drive and the will to succeed and all the usual crap.
I just stopped him in his tracks.
Activist: "Wool is cruel. The sheep should be left alone."
Farmer: "Alone where?"
Activist: "In a sanctuary."
Farmer: "Doing what."
Activist: "Just being a sheep."
Farmer: "Sheep have been bred for ten thousand years to grow a fleece that doesn't stop. If I don't shear her, she overheats, gets fly strike, and dies in her own coat with maggots eating her from the skin down."
Activist: "Then breed sheep that don't grow wool."
Farmer: "We did. They're called mouflon. They live on cliffs in Sardinia and would last forty minutes on a Welsh hillside before something ate them."
Activist: "I just don't think we should use animals for clothing."
Farmer: "What's your jumper made of."
Activist: "...recycled polyester."
Farmer: "Plastic, then. Sheds microfibre into the washing machine every wash. The fibres go through the filter, into the river, into the fish, into you. When you're done with it, it sits in a landfill for four hundred years. My sheep's fleece composts in a hedge in eighteen months and grew back on her this spring."
Activist: "But the sheep didn't consent."
Farmer: "She was lying down with her eyes closed when I finished. She got up and went back to eating. I'd suggest you ask her how she feels, but she's busy, and I think she's already given her answer."
THE SHALLOW CALCULUS OF SECULAR-LIBERALISM
PROFIT OVER PRINCIPLE IN KUALA LUMPUR’S RECENT WATER RAVE FESTIVAL
Certain secular-liberal voices have insisted that opposition to a major water music festival staged in the heart of Kuala Lumpur must be condemned as “extremist” and divisive
Their sole metric of success? An estimated RM200 million in tourism revenue drawn from roughly 180,000 visitors
The three-day event, they claim, was “safe and festive”, free of major incidents, and a net benefit for small traders and the national tourism drive
This is secular-liberal reasoning distilled to its essence, any gathering that generates immediate economic returns is automatically virtuous, while moral or religious objections are dismissed as backward sentiment-stirring
The festival itself, crowds in minimal clothing, pulsating electronic beats, and an engineered atmosphere of sensory excess, turned a central urban district into a temporary arena of hedonism
Gender-mixing revelry and public displays of physicality were normalised under the banner of “healthy entertainment”
Yet the secular-liberal defence reduces every concern about modesty, communal dignity, and cultural integrity to mere economics
If the cash flows and no one is carted off in an ambulance on the nightly news, the event is declared an unqualified triumph
This mindset exposes the ideology’s core poverty, it cannot see beyond the ledger
The same secular-liberal paradigm has long justified the commodification of women’s bodies throughout the West
Music festivals, advertising, and the vast pornography and influencer industries operate on identical logic, maximise pleasure for profit
Female bodies are displayed, consumed, and monetised as market commodities, all under the slogans of individual freedom and economic vitality
“Progress” and “tolerance” become euphemisms for turning human desire into revenue streams
The secular-liberal worldview does not recognise the sacred, it registers only demand curves and dopamine spikes
The operating principle is brutally simple, chase temporal pleasure, convert it into profit, and externalise every moral cost
Hedonism, however, extracts a steep price
Peer-reviewed studies of electronic dance music festivals worldwide show that 35–50 % of attendees report recent illicit drug use, predominantly MDMA, ketamine, and other synthetics, far exceeding general population rates
These substances deliver short-term euphoria followed by serotonin depletion, producing prolonged depression, anxiety, and emotional flatness that drive users back into the cycle
Longitudinal psychological research on the “hedonic treadmill” confirms that the relentless pursuit of novel pleasures yields diminishing returns, each hit satisfies less, fostering addiction-like patterns, shallow relationships, and eroded impulse control
Societies that mainstream such lifestyles record measurable rises in family disintegration, plummeting birth rates, youth mental-health crises, and declining civic resilience, precisely the patterns now entrenched in nations that first embraced this model
By celebrating the festival’s short-term ringgit while ignoring these downstream realities, secular-liberalism actively cultivates a generation of spiritual weaklings, individuals conditioned to prioritise fleeting sensation over duty, endurance, or transcendent purpose
It fragments the communal bonds and moral architecture that have sustained civilisations for centuries
When city centres become playgrounds for commodified hedonism rather than crucibles of virtue, the inevitable outcome is cultural hollowing, rising despair, detachment from family and faith, and a society ill-equipped to face genuine existential threats
Religious and traditionalist frameworks rooted in divine law and objective morality offer the necessary counterweight
They do not reject legitimate enjoyment or economic vitality, they subordinate both to higher principles of modesty, communal responsibility, and accountability before the Creator
These are not relics of the past but proven bulwarks against the very decay secular-liberalism invites
History repeatedly demonstrates that civilisations which mistake material prosperity for strength inevitably collapse once internal moral erosion has done its work
The secular-liberal defence of the festival is therefore more than a policy disagreement, it is a philosophical confession
By branding moral critics as obstacles to “progress” while elevating profit above principle, the ideology reveals its double standard, tolerance for every form of sensory indulgence except the religious worldview that dares question its pleasure-for-profit dogma
What Malaysia requires is not more events that monetise fleeting dopamine at the expense of enduring virtue
It requires the clarity to reject this shallow calculus entirely and to reclaim the transcendent moral order that alone can secure its long-term survival
In the end, Slotball just proved to be useless.
Just don't understand why the bloody slow build up?
Everytime the mancs have the ball, 3 touches and they're through .
#lfc#ynwa
2 down at the break.
Some of the players had a piss poor first half.
If Slot still sends out the same team start of second without making a sub, this group of players ain't turning this around.
@LFC
@Apple Finally I can comment on this stupid advert.
Very sure there are multiple other ways to show the scratch resistant of the screen on a hugely overpriced junk.
Her mentality : "You have the freedom to do what I define it as. Morality is only the way I deem fit."
And for the sake of the language, learn proper grammar. If not, just stick to you lingua franca. I believe it's called pervert.
You know why she's wearing a keffiyeh over her shoulders?
I'm just taking a wild guess here. To get support from pro Palestinians.
Or
To seem Islamic. Because most Malaysians kan senang tertipu dengan "uniform" agama.
Just guessing.
