[ [ "Prior to covid, if we were to count flu case by asking people to report whenever they are having flu, and also putting out updated statistic of death from respiratory illness every 2 weeks...\nThe we will see covid is just a rebrand.", "Keep in mind that the word flu is used very loosely in Malaysia. Flu = influenza (Spanish flu, H1N1, swine flu etc)in most of the world, but to most Malaysians, flu is when they have some nasal congestion or runny nose. Most do not even test for influenza before saying they have flu. Most people do not use the actual term of common cold/cold.\nAs for healthcare facilities, where influenza tests are done, it is mandatory for doctors to report. So, yes. We do have a decent grasp of influenza cases and subsequent mortalities.\nSaying covid is just a rebrand is akin to saying the neighbour’s kid who was just born and going to the same school , playing in the same park and in the same class as you is a rebrand of you.", "Flu got 4 ppl dying daily?", "https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/coronavirus/coronavirus-disease-2019-vs-the-flu\n\"The World Health Organization estimates that 290,000 to 650,000 people die of flu-related causes every year worldwide.\"\nHonestly yes if you extrapolate Malaysia's data and make it global", "Literally just one line below what you quoted:\nThe COVID-19 situation continues to change, sometimes rapidly. Doctors and scientists are working to estimate the mortality rate of COVID-19. At present, it is thought to be substantially higher (possibly 10 times or more) than that of most strains of the flu.", "I am quoting the article in regards to the mortality rate for the flu, not on COVID. Bear in mind this article was written in mid 2022 when COVID was less understood, hence them mentioning on the evolving situation.\nI am also extrapolating the data provided by codeblue which shows that the mortality rate for COVID in Malaysia in Dec 2023 is in line with the flu, possibly because of better treatment, higher vaccination rates and a better understanding of the virus", "The article includes developing countries where healthcare is much worse than Malaysia. So you can't really extrapolate Malaysian data for covid and compare with global numbers. That plus the fact that long covid deaths and quality of life reduction are not quantifiable are also not often attributed to covid.", "Didn't sub-Saharan Africa record a lower COVID mortality rate than us? I assume it is due to their young population and a low obesity rate, but then again it could very well be poor data collection. If you are bringing up long COVID, there is also long flu since they are both post viral syndromes.\nWe can agree to disagree but my point is that treatments for COVID have vastly improved till the point where the mortality rates for COVID and the flu have closed substantially. Honestly 2-3 years ago, I would have touted the same narrative as you", "Exactly my point, why bother speculating why sub-Saharan African mortality rates are low? It could be anything from a young population as you say (life expectancy of 50 years) to poor reporting and lack of covid testing kits. Covid testing is hardly the most important thing they'd have to deal with there.\nWe need equivalent data to compare, and I've been trying to find a source for Malaysian flu data but have come up short. However, where there has been equivalent data, as far as mid 2023, the consensus is still that covid has still got a higher mortality rate than the flu.\nNot as much as it was in 2020-21, for sure - and a lot of credit for that has to go to things like vaccinations, Paxlovid, stopping the spread and general awareness of the populace, but we also lucked out with the viral mutations as from Delta onwards the strains have been mutating to be more contagious but possibly less impactful.\nIt's interesting you bring up long flu, because a study has shown that long covid is more severe:\nhttps://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/long-flu-long-covid-influenza-can-also-lead-lingering-symptoms-rcna129787\nhttps://time.com/6454669/what-is-long-flu/\n\"Covid patients were more likely to experience long-lasting problems with multiple organ systems at the same time, the study found. Flu patients also experienced this, but were more likely to have lasting symptoms related specifically to the lungs.\nLung problems in people who had recovered from the flu could range from coughs that could persist for months to severe shortness of breath caused by inflammation and scarring deep in the lungs, Al-Aly said.\nOverall, the researchers found that illness caused by Covid was more severe, with higher rates of death, hospital readmission and adverse effects on multiple organ systems, than what was associated with the flu.\"\nAnyway yeah, let's agree to disagree. Call it a narrative if you will, but I'll wait for more research especially on the long term effects of covid before I decide if I should treat it like the flu.", "5" ] ]

PATIs by their \"illegal\" nature already take up the lowest denominator jobs with low salaries that are depressed further by their status such as manual labour and low-end blue collar work.\nOverall, while PATIs cause a depression of wages in the labour market, it's also because of loose regulation of labour law and corrupt enforcement that allows this depression to happen.\nLegalizing, enforcing and taxing are some of the best ways to overcome this issue. There's no reason why we should need to allow PATIs if we already legalize the labour and tax it accordingly. As it is, the framework to get non-Msian spouses working in Malaysia is astoundingly bad.

He hasn't been home in New York since 2018.\nHe's beautiful. He's Italian-Irish, so he has these pale blue eyes framed by striking dark lashes and eyebrows. One look was all it took to stun me... He's messy. He scatters his things around the tiny apartment. He doesn't care about laundry. He reminded me a lot of myself. We had too many things in common. He grew up with a father who wasn't kind enough. He didn't have friends at school. He's left-handed. He's drifting from country to country without a final destination. We read and write.\nI think I've asked him more times than what was appropriate whether he was okay. We'd sit on the couch and he'd rest his head on my shoulder and I'd run my fingers through that head of salt-and-pepper hair.

And I never ask him about his other encounters. He even let me go on his phone but I rejected it. I didn't need that. But we toyed with the idea of a future together. We both agreed that neither of us was in a position to care for a serious partner. But I was reminded by what a fellow countryman of his said, Steven. Steven said that I should try dating short-distance instead of only meeting men when I travel overseas. So this was it. I was doing what he told me to do. And it felt good.\nI said to the American, I think I could do this tomorrow, next week, and for the rest fifteen years. I'd get a job and we both would try to fend for ourselves and build a home together. New York's expensive, I said. How about North Carolina? He joked once, saying we could get married in Vegas. I asked him what his ring size was. He said, \"Fuck if I know.\" I am a size 11, and we compared our hands and I said probably 15.\nI revealed to him that when I turned 25, it finally hit me, and I understood and slowly accepted that I am not immortal. One day everyone I love will be gone, and then I'll be gone. We don't have forever. At first, this concept was depressing, and then it was humbling. It's true what they say about men-- one day they wake up and everything's different. They finally realize how silly they've been. But I feel like I keep waking up, you know?\nBeing with him felt like home. We both agreed that I was going through infatuation and that the strong feelings would tarnish and fade, but he also said it was okay to be infatuated. Everything was okay. But I think I know now what I want in life. A domestic life. I'm ready to sacrifice and give up all the sugar daddies, the wanderlust, the alcohol and drugs... To make a trade, trading excitement for familiarity. Yes, there are no guarantees. I asked him if there was ever a thing in this life that didn't have an ending, and he said no. But we can try. Can't we? He said I'd make a good husband.\nWe were in bed later that night watching American talk shows, it was funny and playful. Part of his culture.

How everyone is measured by a limited standard similar to a monkey and a fish being tested for their ability to climb a tree. At the end of the day, students are sent to respectively slave pit with the illusion of them being successful slaves. It does not matter if they earn a lot compared to those at the bottom, in the end, they are still a slave who works for some illusion of happiness created by those on top using currency that is just a bunch of figures.\nSo even if they earn 10k or even 100k a month, they are still slave who need to keep working just to sustain their lifestyle, it is nothing more similar to slaves in old age where they worked for their life. Slaves in the past were chained by shackles while modern slaves are chained by currency no differences. Schools are there to teach students by telling them to look at how those slaves are happy and that they should be one of them, by limiting their ability to grow.\nAs I observed, how many people are stuck with student loans before entering the adult world, and continue with car/house/marriage and finally by the time their child grows up, they already getting old. And the cycle continues with their child. How years of doing something only at x age make students unable to act on their own, how schools put the thought of obeying the teacher(superior) and discourage students that dare fight the authority.\nBack to the question of how to not be a slave, I don't know, living in such a society, I guess it is unavoidable, but how to not continue being a slave is a more important question to ask. Although the reply made me look anti-school, I do appreciate the education, just hate the string attached. :29091: So if I were to teach a child, I would not care much about the academics, but more about whether the child can learn how to live a life which unfortunately schools aren't great at." ], [ "I'm happy enough with private Chinese schools." ] ]

[ [ "This is good quality film making with minimal obstacles, given that it was crowd funded & the film premiered on Youtube. It will be a different story if the film producers were to seek funding using traditional pathways.\nThat is because the film's subject matter will be \"frowned upon\" by the authorities. Even if the film were to be approved and screened, I can imagine Lembaga Penapisan Filem ( Film Censorship Board ) having a field day snipping here and there. This is the kind of nanny state the government has become; \"censored, blocked, prohibited etc, so as not to provoke racial tensions or to keep the harmony between races, etc\".\nGood film making that has introspective qualities needs to be made so that, in a post mortem, society as a whole can reflect on it's current state.\nMany of the story elements within the film has relevance to Malaysian history; 513 ( May 13th ) and the racially segregated areas that harks back to the New Villages established during the Communist Insurgency; kinda like the Hunger Games setting with the segregated Districts. The film also posits a future where the Federation of Malaysia is no more; with Sabah & Sarawak leaving.\nWithin the film's world, it will be the rich, greedy & corrupt individuals that will take advantage of the situation to profit, just to secure their personal interests. While those who were already on the extreme end ( like the Defense Force soldiers ), will exploit the situation to harm & kill people not aligned with the law. Those caught in the middle will be the ones to suffer because they desire peace with the other races.\nThe entire movie leaves me with the feeling that the future looks bleak for a Malaysia that is literally segregated according to race. The reality is, we have it very good; due to what our forefathers have built Pre-Merdeka and Post-Merdeka. We just take it for granted, assuming everything is all fine.\nBut there will always be bad extremist actors in society who claim \"they are the victim\" or \"its us against them\" in order to say \"we are better than them\"; and as a result, the supporters who agree will rally around these extremists and their voices will just grow louder.\nTo stop that, Malaysians need to go out and get to know one another.

I love the premise of the story, it struck a chord in both being my favourite genre and also being very relatable as a Malaysian. The sprinkles of casual racism undertones are something foreigners would not understand without knowing the context.\n[2] The premise of the story is great, and the first 20-30 minutes building up was really great. But it still suffers from a common Malaysian movie problem - right about the time the bald female soldier found the Chinese kids were playing with a Malay girl, the storytelling kinda went downhill. Parts of the rest of the story felt a bit forced in order to progress the story, like how little reaction the family shows every time someone dies before their eyes, and how the secret meeting ended with the Malay boss somehow managed to pick a heavier weapon up without being shot by a guy who never seemed to hesitate to pull the trigger any time. Immersion broke at certain points.\n[3] Someone in the YouTube comments pointed out how weird people were willing to die for furniture. I agree and thought it'd have been more believable if they'd kill for more essential things like food or medicine. Recall the lockdowns and imagine yourself, what would be the most valuable commodities when there's rationing?\n[4] I wonder how the story could've been told if the Malay girl had more lines. The more scenes went by without a word from her, the more I felt uncomfortable with her presence as if she was nothing more than a vehicle to move the story. She's a little girl after all, how could she understand that she shouldn't speak to anyone who isn't Malay or understand about the segregation? I wish her character was given more depth, for example she could also have been used to tell a little more about what is happening with the Malays without showing them.\n[5] This is less about the movie, more about Malaysians - it's rather unfortunate (but expected) that certain groups of Malays were jumping up and down, making up racist conclusions before the movie was even available for public viewing. This really only shows who they are and how possible the reality in the movie is. However, I could see this changing some Malays' minds if they try to watch it, but I'm not sure if it could with conservative/racist Chinese. I feel they are equally incapable of appreciating the moral of the story like their Malay counterparts.\nWhile I agree with others who pointed about politics and corruption, I'm leaving them out as those weren't my primary thoughts while watching.\nEdit: I noticed some complaining about the ending.

So if there aren't enough people to cause problems, it must be then, \"not a problem\"? Surely you notice a fallacy right there to outright dismiss the existence of something on the mere small number of its 'prevalence', as you have put it.\nWhich answer would be considered for you to be the actual number where it would be \"sufficient\"? Similar to the answer above, the mistake of your framing is that if something must be small, not only it shouldn't be given an F, but it should therefore, not be given an F by me as well.\nWhich answer would be considered for you to be the actual number where it would be \"sufficient\"?

Lots of people go to Dubai,” he said during a press conference today.\nSanusi declined to reveal further information regarding the plot, however, he hinted at other movements such as the “Bera Move” and “Sembrong Move”.\nHe quickly followed it with: “It’s just a joke to make people laugh. But it (change of support) can be done, in line with the Constitution.”\nBera is former prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s parliamentary seat and the Sembrong MP is former defence minister Hishammuddin Hussein.\nIsmail Sabri has denied involvement or knowledge of the Dubai Move.\n’Govt will fall’\nSanusi was convinced that the administration would fall sooner rather than later.\n“It won’t be five years (one term) before they topple. It may happen this year, even this month,” he said.\nHe further asserted that the plot was constitutional based on the loopholes in the anti-hopping law.\n\"I think whatever (move) that is permitted by the Constitution, (it) should be allowed to take place. Anything unconstitutional should not.\n“It was constitutional for the five MPs to pledge support (to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim). Their camp (government) was so excited and had no issues,\" he said, referring to the Bersatu lawmakers who announced their backing for Anwar late last year.\n\"If they (the Madani government) regarded the support from the five MPs (from PN) as something constitutional based on democratic principle, any move in return should be regarded as the same,” he added.", "For context to why the opposition is rushing into plotting a coup, below is a post by a well-connected political blogger Liyana Marzuki\nWITCH HUNT\nLittle birds in high places sudah sampaikan.

Mostly the locals use wood. So we don't have lots of preserved indigenous artifacts beyond a few hundred years. On top of that, much of Malaysia's ancient history is oral and tribal. Much of it has probably been lost. There is a relative lack of things like Buddhist, Muslim or Hindu constructions that are very old unlike say Thailand, India, Vietnam and China.\nOn top of that Malaysia has a history of \"borrowed\" culture going back in history. Arab traders bringing Muslim religion and language. The Indians and Chinese too. Then came the waves of Western colonialists. In this sense, Malaysia has been a \"melting pot\" being at the center of many sea trade routes.\nEven things we consider \"traditional\" in Malaysia like the royalties etc appear to borrow heavily from traditions that are not indigenous. (Sultan, for example, is an arabic term) The Majapahit empire, for example, is Javanese-Hindu and is not centered around the current political boundaries of Malaysia. Then there is the influence from Thailand that is primarily Buddhist.\nIn a sense, this doesn't blend well with the current political ruling class that like to craft a narrative that Malaysia as predominantly Muslim and thus being Muslim is somehow central to Malaysia's past.

The Minister of Finance has the responsibility to formulate several fiscal and economical policies and ensure they are adhered to by other government entities.\nIf any factors derail the economic development or financial stability of Malaysia, or if an entity's debt that is guaranteed by the government is about to default, the government need to table a contigency plan or solution to the Parliament or House of Representatives (Dewan Rakyat).\nThis law also mandated the government to spend at least 3% of our GDP on development expenditure and to keep the national budget deficit to be not larger than -3% of our GDP. Under this law, the government will also need to keep the national government debt to be lower than 60% of our GDP.\nFailure to keep aforementioned policies and criteria will mandate the government to answer to the Parliament.\nHowever, this not cause a change in government or a government shutdown like in the US if the Parliament decided to not approve the contingency/mitigation plan formulated by the government.\nThis is because the law only said \"If the fiscal adjustment plan is not approved, the House of Representatives may pass a resolution to require the Minister to improve the fiscal adjustment plan to be laid in the House of Representatives as soon as practicable\"" ], [ "The whole Act can be accessed here:\nhttps://lom.agc.gov.my/act-detail.php?act=850&lang=BI&date=29-12-2023#timeline\nPDF version:\nhttps://lom.agc.gov.my/ilims/upload/portal/akta/outputaktap/1946989_BI/WJW23%EF%80%A21340%20BI.pdf\nThis whole Act, except section 37 and 38, will come into force on 1st of January 2024:\nhttps://lom.agc.gov.my/act-view.php?type=pub&language=BI&no=P.U.%20(B)%20584/2023%20584/2023)\nThe Prime Minister, with the YDPA power delegated to him, has prescribe the authoritative text of this Act and its subsidiary legislation shall be in English:\nhttps://lom.agc.gov.my/act-view.php?type=pub&language=BI&no=P.U.%20(B)%20585/2023%20585/2023)" ], [ "Thank you OP:26561:" ], [ "💩\nDSAI: Reee one person cannot hold both PM and Finance Minister portfolio.\nMadanon: Anyways." ] ]

If you feel your brakes suck check your tyres. Make sure they are also filled too.

The michelin side dont even last 5 years, only 2 years. Continental is about 5 years in practice.\nDespite what they say about their life time, the in practice part is down to rubber degradation not wear, based on my experience. My used car initially came with michelin, and based on the year needed changing despite 2 years. I had an accident with them, no grip then suddenly super grip and burst.\nMy mums honda city came with continentals, been stuck with them and worked great, 4-5 years between changes with the exception of the tyre bursting from very very bad pot holes. I switch my used car to one of continental sub brands and its been decent.", "Yeah I mean other Michelin maybe questionable but FWIW Primacy and Pilot Sport is actually good in my experience", "true, but not everyone can afford the same as you. Im currently using vikings on my ecobox, a sub brand of continental. Its been more than 2 years and grip is still good even though i dont drive much. The tyre advertises as a balanced tyre in wet/dry so its not the best at either as it is advertised for use in cities and are asymmetrical tyres. They were very cheap too. When i say grip is good i mean the rubber degradation as i've left my car parked outside unused for months which is usually quite a harsh thing.\nIn general most people wont be able to afford the best tyres and own ecoboxes which then means like in the case of the honda city and toyota vios which are 3rd world special ecoboxes is that, what can they afford? And in this case michelin doesnt cater to them. You own a performance car and you can afford the tyres thats good but not everyone can either.

Sounds sketchy but it’s claimed to be using Bridgestone rubbers.", "Aite noted my guy", "Allow me to complicate things for you.\nShock absorbers are also responsible for this. If the damping is poor, the contact patch varies. Good or bad tyres lose their contact time on the road thus causing longer braking distance and most people fail to realise this happens long before you actually hear the clunking noises.\nIt's subtle. Check the absorbers regularly. The bounce test is often done, but people don't see the nuances. Every tyre rotation interval is an opportunity for visual and mechanical checks.\nReplace brake fluid FULLY every 20k km DONE. Not that expensive by the way. Our climate is humid. Every time you press brakes they transfer heat from pad to fluid. Repeated heating and cooling causes moisture to form, and over time this will interfere with the fluid's incompressibility. Modern vehicles may have a sensor for this, but I still think prevention is better than cure. Even if it looks 'clean'. Sludge is also an enemy that will be slayed this way.\nCar ownership sucks sometimes. I digress.\nLearnt this over 4 decades of driving.

No grip, suddenly super grip, burst and crash.", "My last pilot sport 4 lasted well into its 5th year whilst i waited for the pilot sport 5 to ve released. Im not sure about cheaper offerings from them as i have always made it a point to invest in good tyres usually top of the line as i am a fast driver in a decently powerful car. I can't say much about your experience as I've not experienced it but I'd recommend using nitrogen for better lifespan, slower loss of pressure, maybe checking for uneven wear, rotate the tyres etc.", "Nitrogen part not true. Mine is an ecobox. The problem I had was rubber degrading and I have to park outside. Our affordable houses don't have garages.\nThe only place where nitrogen is used is aeronautics. The high heat can cause the oxygen to combust and the uneven gas heat capacity would be an issue. So I bet where you fill is a scam because most of air is nitrogen.\nSure mine aren't performance tyres but not everyone can afford a lot of money for high performance tyres. If the main brands regular tyres rubber last long that's the minimum. There's trade off in a lot for design though and the tyres I once had the biggest complaint was life span and was a common complaint.", "Ill counter argue that nitrogens benefits come from lower wear over time when it comes to the steel lines in your tyres which can affect longevity. It also requires less refill in general as it is more stable. Proof in case i drop 5 to 10 psi (low profile tyres) over a month compared to conventional air through gas station compressors that sees that every 2 weeks. If you like, I'll share my logs through 2023. Its minute in detail but is worth it in the long run. Again granted, very heavy driving and fast corners (empty roads only. I dont let loose when there's cars around)\nI totally get where you're coming from. I do. Ive been broke through most of this year thanks to many things affecting the business but if you dont mind my 2 cents, your tyres are the only thing connecting you to the roads. Its worth maybe saving 50 a month over 3 years for an upgrade. It keeps you safe, protect you from idiots and granted our weather, it'll minimise dangers from puddles on our shitty roads. It really does cut through the waters extremely well. Great stopping distance, handling, reliability really does go a long way to protect your investment and yourself.\nI don't mean to offend. Just sharing my thoughts as i do believe in the importance of good tyres and what it brings to your table.\nEdit: my nitrogen refills are free of charge even when i buy my tyres from elsewhere.", "You understand well the N2 argument in lower performance requirements. The part we need to be wary of is actually moisture in the compressed air system. Believe me when I say our petrol stations or most tyre shops for that matter do not have air dryers. At most a small in line filter dryer that hardly gets purged. Only industrial systems here have it because moisture reduces pneumatic performance and causes valve problems. Also corrosion.\nNitrogen is therefore logical in this respect, and nothing else. The average car does not need F1 levels of predictability or measurability.\nYes, our sun does a terrific job of breaking down and hardening the tyre compound, regardless of quality of the tyre. That's what branded tyre dressing compounds and regular washing with good degreasers are for. Car ownership goes beyond just the cosmetics. Don't skimp on quality and regularity.\nHappy motoring!", "You don't need to be near for high beams to work.

The low application by non-Bumiputra students shows that many Chinese and Indian students have no confidence in the Sijil Tinggi Pelajaran Malaysia (STPM) and thus many of them refused to further their studies to Form 6 after they have sat for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) but instead opted to study in private colleges pursuing twinning programs or professional courses.
