    A lot has been said about the Uber IPO prospectus but maybe none as cogent as this FT comment.

    Salixium for RM35. What a racket. These are made in malaysia. Supply & demand at work.

    I know many who don’t fly frequently think KLIA is world class. It isn’t. 7am arrivals duty free closed. We are using buses to move terminals because the trains are dead. Retail situation, still awful. Grabbing a Grab, is tedious. Then it’s a 1h-1h30m ride to the city.

    Be better humans, Malaysians. Readers are supposed to already be ahead of the curve amongst your peers. And this is how you treat a bookstore? I’ve been lamenting book wrapping in KL bookstores for a while. I now know why, and this is just plain disgusting.

    Rosmah gets her passport back to visit her daughter (33) in Singapore, because giving birth in Malaysia, is unfathomable? Zahid gets his passport back to treat his back in Germany, because Malaysian doctors are not trustworthy? Yet, we keep on promoting no meritocracy, right?

    5,601 with a MySejahtera vaccine cert, but no vaccine, from this clinic. In Gombak, the Klang Valley. They threw the shots away. What percentage of people are walking around claiming to be vaccinated? App is useless, corruption to the core, at work again.

    Dear @hannahyeoh — she represented Malaysia before. She’s a multiple gold and silver medalist. Why is Koh Lee Peng still forced to do this? Take care of your athletes. One less Madani trip, would probably take care of her needs. Do better.

    At Berlin airport, I take out my Malaysian passport. Gate agent immediately says, “Mahathir Mohammad, I love that man”. I smile and reply, “Yeah, twice now.” He continues, “He has done many great things. Great man.” Mahathir, making Malaysians proud to be Malaysian!

    Ok, I’ll work for you, for free, @anwaribrahim — CTO of Malaysia. In my tenure, I’ll trim IT spend, switch to open source, ensure services built are what people want to use, and open source everything we build. Mistakes like MySejahtera will be fixed.

    Lest you think Pavilion KL is suffering… queues outside of Cartier, Gucci, Chanel. People are also leaving with bags ;-) Yes, the rich got richer and/or are still rich. At 3.38pm, we did transaction 167 at lululemon.

    Their airport even has a pet toilet. Pet’s routinely travel in planes. So very modern, thinking wise, compared to Malaysia

    Fahmi buckled under pressure largely from X. This wasn’t a thing on other platforms. Don’t believe in the back channel, either. They were adamant. So, good work on cancelling it. But the fact that it was even considered, rolled out, and all the misinformation to keep it going,
    This post is unavailable.

    If they’re smart, they’d shut PADU down now. They don’t know what they’re doing. An app that allows others to update PII is not sensible. Shocking that this wasn’t even tested in QA. This is what working 7 months day and night gets you under Rafizi’s stewardship.

    To test this out, I obtained the IC nos and postcode of my colleagues from the electoral roll @scheekeong @hannahyeoh @LiewChinTong @TeoNieChing and registered padu accounts using my own phone no and email address... now they cannot register accounts themselves...
