Lol no, I wasn't asking you to look at the timing in the notices, I meant look at which routes aren't affected. Those routes that weren't mentioned meant they were serviced by Brahim's. Yours not being mentioned meant very likely back then it was one of those covered by that contract, and that explained why it sucks.
Yep - if based on these notices, this is an affected route in the revision = served by the Brahim's contract - https://www.malaysiaairlines.com/my/en/experience/in-flight-offerings/revised-in-flight-meal.html; https://www.malaysiaairlines.com/au/en/mh-media-centre/important-for-you/inflight-food-beverage-services.html
Which route? The ones that're still with full service are apparently the ones that's always been serviced by their in-house catering. The rest all under Brahim's contract which mmg gone downhill

A 33mil population is not a small market. Plus if ASEAN could get their act together and negotiate en bloc the way the EU does, you can go a long way in negotiating for more competitive pricing. The one good thing from the Trans Pacific Partnership being blown up by Trump to me in this matter was the fact that US Big Pharma-negotiated clauses with regards to market access got blown up too.
Anwar's populism only sounds nice but it would eventually doom poor people and the working class most of all. Where's the taxation reform? The budgeting reallocation? Why is the conversation not at all considering increasing investment in our healthcare system? We're not poor (yet).
Means-testing on healthcare subsidies is such a regressive idea, not to mention scapegoating rich people for accessing public healthcare in our current healthcare system is close to lying considering:
-
most middle class and above tend to be funnelled into using private healthcare anyway, especially with the way the facilities are all counted as equivalent (per the bancian data) ie a location is considered well-covered even if most of it is private (hospitals/GP clinics/pharmacies), so who exactly is "using" public healthcare even tho rich? Hmmm, let's check on what benefits public servants above certain grades and parliamentarians can access in a public hospital
-
the medication shortage is currently being normatively papered over by accessing private health stocks, which themselves are also capped in price. Who exactly is the rich here, if an uncle is being persuaded to access the nearby private hospital by the klinik kesihatan doctor because the kk doesn't have the appropriate heart medication?
Yep, the actually wealthy have their assets tied up not in personal holdings. By any simple metric that is being thought of, the first impacted are salaried/employed/contracted workers (since taxable income is a usual source of yardstick)
I've seen anecdotes (with evidence of emails or a BFM tweet) that banks are starting to charge transaction fee for duitnow transactions. I haven't seen anything from CIMB but I've seen RHB and OCBC. Anyone else?
Not pork eater but this reminds me of all the exasperated jokes about orang takde masa slip in secret pork because mahal lah bodoh. Pork and seafood = financial boobytraps at the hawkers/mamaks for sure, it seems like
At this point I feel mostly better (loss of smell though) but clearly get winded very very fast, and considering RTK pun still positive, I might be infectious enough so I don't know if it's worth going out. But stress cos sharing space with family members so I really can't do a lot of the usual chores. Still, impressed by how well my body membiakkan this virus 😑
I'll try and see - or maybe I'm just very ... viral

Henlo I am still positive on COVID RTK even after a week 😭

A team of researchers from the Agency for Science, Technology and Research’s (A*STAR) Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) analysed the genomes of 177 Singapore Peranakans.
More Singaporean side but I think the general findings applicable here. Got it from @[email protected] fedi post! https://hachyderm.io/@liztai/111028272906205950
I would like to agree but considering gendered harassment is historically underreported it just becomes a bean counting measure to not actually provide remedy (of which I think this one should be temporary but the fact that it's being implemented is absolutely an indictment of both society and how little they think of men that they can't believe men cannot self police themselves or how disinterested they are to change norms that encourages this to happen, especially if this fits into their worldview that men and women must be segregated).
More than 45 scholars to present papers at academic conference on K-Pop band BTS
So here's a thing.
-----
Organised by the International Society for BTS Studies (ISBS) and Universiti Malaya (UM), the upcoming fourth edition conference in 2023 to be hosted by Malaysia is scheduled to be held for the first time in Southeast Asia from 16-17 Aug.
In an interview with Bernama recently, UM's Department of East Asian Studies of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Associate Professor Dr Jimmyn Parc said as this year marks the 40th anniversary of South Korea's inclusion in the Look East Policy (LEP), the conference is dubbed as a vital component of the "New LEP".
Malaysian doctors who operated on the patient hail the kidney transplant as a victory against stigma.
Six months have since passed and the patient is now living a healthy life. The transplant has thus been hailed as a resounding success.
To learn more about the operation, FMT Lifestyle spoke to three representatives from the medical team behind it. These were Dr Lim Soo Kun, a nephrologist and UMMC’s renal division head; Dr Shanggar Kuppusamy, a urologist; and Dr Raja Iskandar Shah Raja Azwa, an infectious disease expert.

The Dissolution of a Monetary Union: The Case of Malaysia and Singapore 1963–1974
Yes, as a boring person this is what's catching my interest on merdeka day. Open access too.
------ Abstract
The abrupt separation of Singapore and Malaysia in 1965 set these two states on separate political trajectories, but the economic ties proved more difficult to untangle. This article explores the nine years of transition required to complete the separation of the monetary systems of the two territories based on new archival evidence. It argues that, while socio-political hostility raged between the two partners, common economic interests prolonged an intimate monetary relationship that extended the interdependence of the two states for many years beyond their formal separation.
The business is now in its third year.
Has anyone tried this btw?
Selangor 'Fake Joint Venture' Raises Questions For Azmin Ali
From article:
Following a police report issued by a Selangor based contractor named Haizal bin Hanif last week, Sarawak Report has been passed an extensive dossier containing what appears to be significant new evidence relating to a scandal that broke in July 2019 over alleged multi-million ringgit kickbacks paid in return for a major ‘direct nego’ development project, supposedly in a joint venture with the state government.
The courts have concluded the so-called Salak Tinggi housing project, involving 100 acres and projected to be worth RM600 million, was a fraudulent scheme that had not in fact been authorised by the state government as believed by the developer.
However, the evidence, if true, indicates that many senior political figures, including the former MB Azmin Ali, were seeking to push through the project from as early as 2016 in return for purported political donations.
IGP Razarudin Husain confirms that a Red Notice has been issued against the duo, who are wanted by MACC for an investigation.

Call for Short Historical Fiction featuring Lim Chin Siong as a minor but vital character – New Naratif
In Singapore and beyond, there has been a quickening of interest in the anticolonial and socialist struggle of the 50s and 60s.
cross-posted from: https://kbin.social/m/magASEAN/t/372170
> From the link: > In Singapore and beyond, there has been a quickening of interest in the anticolonial and socialist struggle of the 50s and 60s after the publications of archival research by historian PJ Thum and of the Eisner-winning graphic novel The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye by Sonny Liew, among other works. The undisputed leader of this historical struggle was the student activist, trade unionist, and politician Lim Chin Siong (LCS), who organised the largest social movement in Singapore to fight for democracy, freedom, and justice. Although this movement ultimately failed, it opens a window into an alternative future for Singapore, Malaysia, and the rest of Asia—a window that creative writers with their imaginative powers can help us look at and through. > > --- > > Deadline for submissions is 1 December 2023.

Zulfadzli Halim just wants an update on his case after getting stonewalled.
from the article ----
A man arrested last November, shortly after he sounded the alarm that inflammatory content was being posted on TikTok, is pleading with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim for help.
Zulfadzli Halim is seeking the country’s top leader’s assistance in getting an update on his case, saying that the authorities have reportedly stonewalled him.
His story began on Nov 21 last year, two days after the 15th general election.
Zulfadzli (above) had tweeted about his discovery and concerns that hate speech and racially motivated provocative content - including threats of a repeat of the May 13, 1969 riots - were being posted on the social media platform.
Screenshots and screen recordings taken by him and other netizens led to the discovery that at least three of the provocative content on TikTok had been paid for.
However, in a twist of events, it was Zulfadzli that police acted against, probing him under the Sedition Act - allegedly for insulting the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
He has denied doing such an act and contests that police have not been able to pinpoint which of his tweets did so either.
He was released three days later.

Putsch attempt underway in Perak- MB
Saarani says plans involve the defection of four elected reps to PN.
got this in my Kini Morning Brief Email.
Summary: Perak MB says there are plans to trigger by-elections in at least four seats by convincing those ADUNs to defect to PN - no other details given.
----- [...] Saarani after a meeting with 33 Perak legislative assembly government members at the Impiana Hotel in Ipoh, Perak yesterday, according to Sinar Harian.
"We are gathered today because we don't want suspicion among the 33 assemblypersons and ensure their loyalty to the state government."
The Perak legislative assembly has 59 members, with 26 seats held by the opposition. They must win at least four more seats through by-elections to govern the state.
Like most states, Perak has enacted laws that will trigger a by-election if an incumbent lawmaker defects.
Spoken Teochew is both ancient and at the same time evolving, just like any other "live" languages. The Teochews settled in the Malay-speaking world covering Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia have absorbed not a small number of native expressions into their daily vocabulary. Here we present a list o...
Got linked to this mainly because berdiskusi over how Singaporeans spell out Malay words and it's essentially because they're localized into teochew and then modern generation use it in romanized spelling instead of restoring the Malay spelling the way Malaysians would tend to do it. Still looking for an explanation for tombalek tho.

This is just like previous BN govt, author says.
>The Home Ministry raided and conducted a seizure at the Toko Buku Rakyat bookstore owned by local author Benz Ali at Wisma Central, Kuala Lumpur, earlier today.
>When contacted, Benz confirmed the incident and expressed his disappointment with the confiscation.
>“You can’t do this. What’s more, under the leadership of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. This is just like the previous BN government.
>“It’s your government, yet you can’t even control the Home Ministry. I sell books that are not listed in the banned book list.
