Why are the mega-rich not paying taxes like the rest of us? They pay 0-3% taxes and hide the rest of it while inequality spirals. Join the call to #TaxTheRich now. https://t.co/1wfPjQLwmU

@PSamarasan I have family members and friends who are gay and queer. You think it doesn’t worry me? But there are so many other existential issues at stake here. What I am saying is that from your distance you have the luxury to focus on one issue.

Years and years ago, my then teenaged daughter and I were discussing role models, and we agreed that Michelle Yeoh was definitely an excellent choice. She is #Awesome

@PSamarasan I honestly don’t want to engage with you over this anymore. You have a lot of bitterness & anger which colours your perceptions of Malaysia. I’m very sorry about that. I wish you a good life & every success with your new book.

@PSamarasan I won’t deny that his opinions about the LGBT community are concerning, & it’s a good thing that he’s being called out for them. But in the larger scheme of things, given our choices, who would you rather have in government, PH or PN?

@PSamarasan In this scenario, what options do we have? It’s nice to be able to sceptical from your distance but we who live here have to work with the imperfect hand we are given.

@PSamarasan Trust is required when seeking to change mindsets. This situation is the product of decades of brainwashing (I won’t deny that Anwar himself must own some responsibility for this; I trust he knows better now), it’s going to take time to rectify.

“The primary driver of deforestation in Peninsular Malaysia are forest plantations… up to 70 percent of deforestation can be attributed to these.

“How can forest plantations reduce pressure on forests when they are themselves the primary pressure?” https://t.co/DfDDT9rgYv

XBB.1.5 is on the way.
And for you people asking for China flights to be stopped, take a good look at where it's from and how many countries you are going to have to stop flights from.

Mask up.
Boosters
Improve ventilation.

@IMMikhailHafiz Joyeux anniversaire.

@ZoeYorkWrites True. The lesson is to get the timing right.

Did you know that Britain still has a colony in Africa?

It's time to right the wrongs against the Chagossian people. #Chagos

The British empire threw hundreds of thousands of people into internment camps and heavily bombed Malaya (now Malaysia) to crush an anti-colonialist uprising

They portrayed it as a war against Chinese communism, but mostly wanted to steal the rubber & tin https://t.co/QZQGMgDHnO
