My therapist once told me: Imagine being bitten by a snake and, instead of treating the bite, you waste time chasing the snake to understand why it bit you and prove you didn't deserve it.
🚨 Not just PERKESO won’t refund the money they already collected in June
You have ONLY until 31 AUGUST 2026 to opt OUT of Lindung 24 Jam
After that? Automatically enrolled and you will be paying 0.75% from your salary every month
So clever 😂
By the way, up to the point of my hospital visit in Feb, I had already paid about RM10k in premiums for my medical plan, far more than the RM1.5k that my gastric episode cost me.
Even though I had every moral and legal right to get admitted for treatment, I still declined admission and forewent the benefits that I had paid for — more and over.
But insurance C-suite execs paint consumers/patients as greedy (all while pocketing 10-month bonuses).
(actually I still can’t believe that insurance CEOs attacked their own customers so publicly in the PAC inquiry. I guess it shows their disdain for us).
Meanwhile, Bank Negara declares that its job is to protect the insurance industry.
Hence, we need an independent statutory private health care commission — with an explicit consumer protection mandate — to regulate both insurers and private health care providers.
We (World Bank) have an update of Msia's march toward high-income:
1. M'sia remains (upper) middle-income for 38 years now: fig 1
2. ASEAN peers (Vietnam & Philippines) have also reached upper-middle-income: fig 2
3. Only 5 M'sian states cross high- income threshold: fig 3
Would also like to give a special shout-out to @TindakV2, especially the inimitable Danesh Prakash Chacko.
As everyone knows, @sprgovmy does not release election boundaries in digital format, thus making it very hard for us to scrutinise gerrymandering, malapportionment, etc.
Danesh and I decided to fix that problem. We HAND-DREW every single boundary map in Malaysia's history, and made it available for you to use.
We also co-authored a paper documenting this process, available as a preprint here: https://t.co/h1td3CtUGz (it's currently under peer review).
Danesh is a Malaysian gem, and I am incredibly proud to have collaborated with him to do the bitter work of digitising Malaysia's geospatial electoral history.
A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear:
“It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”
My boss panicked after looking at my to-do-list and immediately called me. I was ready to suck it up but she was like “NO THATS NOT SUSTAINABLE” and then she helped delegating and re order the schedule.
God bless her, really. My biiiiiiiiiiiigggest big rezeki fr
My bosses are legit 🔛🔝💯 - genius and help me simplify work without compromising the outcomes we are aiming for.
Semoga traffic light diorang hijau, dapat parking kat masjid for solat jumaat later, order makanan cepat sampai.
