Honestly? I woke up today feeling grateful.
Not because everything is perfect. But because of what didn’t happen.
With the war in the Middle East pushing oil prices up, things are getting harder everywhere.
Unsubsidised RON95 in Malaysia just hit RM3.87 a litre.
Our neighbours are under real pressure. Philippines. Thailand. Cambodia. Laos.
Even Australia is facing a fuel crisis right now.
These are not just statistics.
These are real people, families trying to get to work, small business owners watching their costs double overnight, ordinary folks doing their best in a situation they didn’t create.
If you’re reading this, hang in there.
But yesterday, our PM announced that our subsidised petrol at RM1.99 stays.
Yes, the quota drops from 300L to 200L in April.
And I keep thinking, this kind of stability doesn’t just happen.
It took decades. Generations of leaders building diplomatic relationships quietly in the background.
Policy makers running the numbers at midnight.
Civil servants holding things together without anyone knowing their name.
People who never made the news but made the difference.
This moment of relative calm, they built it. Long before this crisis ever came.
But it also took something very Malaysian.
We have this rare ability to sit with anyone, different races, different religions, different backgrounds and just get along.
In a world that’s fracturing right now, that’s actually a superpower.
So today I’m not taking it for granted.
To everyone working behind the scenes, thank you. We see you.
Syukur.
And to our neighbours and friends from around world, you’ve got this. 🙏🇲🇾
James Chai has more integrity and patriotism in his little finger than most Ministers have in their entire body.
Anyone is free to look up his public profile - he is a world-class intellect who has spent a lot of time on public service, when he could easily have made more money doing other stuff.
This dragging of his name and personal details in the media, as if he's some criminal evading the law (versus doing great work in Cambridge), is absolutely disgusting.

Malaysian concertgoers are fed up. Concerts are held here, but locals can’t even get tickets? Make it make sense 🤷♀️🎟️
And don’t even get us started on scalpers charging up to RM24k 🤢
Time to put a stop to this mess. Agree or not?
