"Don’t use social media less. Use it more intentionally. Follow people who inspire and motivate you. Engage with experts you can learn from. Create genuine, positive friendships. Just stop mindlessly scrolling, complaining, hating and engaging in negativity and bitterness." - xx

Israeli soldiers are reportedly torturing Dr Abu Safya --a pediatrician, for God's sake!

Without strong pressure on Israel, these may could be his last hours.

The new SKBBK deduction should never be mandatory.

Many working adults are already paying for insurance.

They feel forced to pay this new “benefit” they didn't ask for.

Unlike EPF (which compounds your money) or LHDN (which gives you tax reliefs),

PERKESO doesn’t give you anything back if you never get into a single accident.

To make things worse, the extra 0.75% deduction will increase to 1.00% by 2028, and finally 1.25% by 2032.

🚨Breaking: Dr. Hussam Abu-Safeia, director of Kamal Edwan Hospital, is being killed by Israeli Occupation Forces.

Dr. Hussam is heavily tutored, and each time his lawyer visits, new injuries are discovered on him.

His last words to his lawyer were: “They brought me here to kill me; this is my end.”

Israel has already killed Dr. Hussam’s son, and now it’s Dr.Hussam’s turn.

Raise awareness and speak out to help him before it’s too late.

Some of us warned that this was the goal in October 2023 but we were told it was about the hostages. It was never about the hostages. It was always about conquest and ethnic cleansing.

[Ernest is: on LRT3! 🚇🚈💙 @ErnestOnPT]

It is mind-boggling to see the government (Selangor state gov) ordering a gov agency (MBSA) telling a gov-linked company (Prasarana) to do the work that should’ve been done by the said gov agency (MBSA) despite opportunities from multiple delays of the LRT3 project

ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan blew the lid off Trump and Netanyahu 🔥👏

Khan: "They threatened ICC judges, UN staff, and my family over Israel cases.

🇺🇸 12 U.S. senators sent a letter saying 'Go after 🇮🇱 Israel and we go after you and your family.

Then came sanctions, frozen accounts, travel bans. It is deeply dangerous for states to bully international justice."

Finally someone said this. What a COURAGE this man has 💪 🫡

8 minutes during peak hours.

And this line is meant to serve the busiest traffic corridor in the Klang Valley

I think the reduction of the #LRT3 trainsets from 42x6 car trains to merely 22x3 car trains needs to be reviewed. It's a classic case of being penny wise and pound not so smart.

Fakta menarik

Based on 2024 data

Malaysia ada 156 PBT

Dari 156, hanya 89 PBT yang ada landscaping dept/unit.

Dari 89 PBT yang ada, hanya ada 11 PBT yang ada certified arborist(pakar pokok).

Total arborist dalam 11 PBT tersebut ialah 18 orang.

It is embarrassing and borderline insulting that a new 38km metro line for the city is instead reduced to a banner that doesn’t even show an opening date or evokes any form of excitement or jubilation other than being a list of stations already visible on the official maps

[Fifty Shades of Whey @davenewworld_2]

3 judges with the International Criminal Court filed a lawsuit in a US federal court against Trump and his administration, challenging the sanctions against them and calling it a "financial death penalty."

The judges bringing the lawsuit are:
- Kimberly Prost (Canada)
- Solomy Balungi Bossa (Uganda)
- Reine Adelaide Sophie Alapini-Gansou (Benin)

Trump placed sanctions on the judges over their judicial decisions regarding investigations into war crimes by Israel and the US.

The judges argue that the sanctions are extrajudicial measures meant to punish and coerce them. They say the restrictions cut them off from banking, online platforms, travel booking, and sometimes health insurance.

This should be much bigger news.

[FreeMalaysian @FreeMsian]

You know why this case is important to all Malaysian taxpayers?
1) Muslim individuals pay zakat, which is fully offset against the tax payable.
2) Ikram deals with this Zakat money reallocated from Zakat Perlis.
3) The allegation is he swindled the money instead of charity.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

If this was any other country, it would be huge news, and most western governments would be loudly condemning it.

But it’s Israel so…

Wtf is wrong with Israel? Can they not stop blowing up kids for even one single day?

[Wan | Faiz @wannotone]

Exactly part of the problem with left wing entertainment elite, the way they downplay the lose of people lives, begs to question how did the country normalise this as their status quo.

[Jamarrius @YungxJayy]

No mention of the 168 children that were killed when they bombed an elementary school on the first day of the war. Liberals keep dismissing the lives of Iranian children just like they’ve spent years dismissing the lives of Palestinian children.

Tau tak knp maintenance kita teruk? Sebab selalu yg dpt tender utk maintenance job bukan company yg berpengalaman buat maintenance, diorg subcon kat org lain. Dah berpuluh tahun benda ni. Selain korupsi pejabat tanah, bad maintenance adalah satu lagi penyakit yg susah nak hilang.

No one gives a FUCK about October 7 anymore.

Got that? NO. ONE.

October 7 is not a get out of jail free card for Israel. It didn’t give them the right to commit a genocide in Gaza and sure as shit doesn’t give them the right to blow up the whole world’s economy over Iran.
